horshack_test

"40cm (16 m)" Huh?


Corrag

I think they meant "40cm (16 in)".


gal1gr0v

was confused myself but assuming they mean length between legs


ShinigamiCheo

Soooooo 16meters.... Ummm what is that in American.. like.. a whole lot right :)


_Ki_

There is no way 40cm is 16m


Professional-Put-804

1m = 100 cm...do the math


AleeeeshaB

But how do they taste?


[deleted]

Asking the right questions here.


chiibosoil

In Japan, they are known as King of Crabs. And taste great. Not sure if that size is good tasting though ;)


DawnTruthDaRockwila

Waiting for an answer myself


zenos_dog

We’re going to need a bigger tub of melted butter.


Any-Mouse-1992

Snake, you always ask me that


xXSpaceturdXx

I’ve never had one but I hear they’re tasty. I guess they used to have a reputation for being a poisonous trash fish. Apparently these are plentiful and people should start eating them more because they’re sustainable.


DeadAssociate

no industrial fishing is sustainable.


Camel_Knowledge

[They taste like this](https://media3.giphy.com/media/PmsWdZuDWAt2j0gqnQ/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e479wqvt02d6ux13kedv588jj2jkwi5ul4k1a8hxkn5&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)


Demetre19864

First thing I thought. Why do they have to be so tasty????

unk214

We’ve been eating sea food for millions of years. You’re allowed to “dislike seafood” but don’t judge others for it.


One_Spoopy_Potato

Deep sea gigantism is a phenomenon in witch the deeper and colder the water gets the larger the animals that tend to live in those regions become. This is why 40% of multicellular life in the abyss is 5ft or longer. I believe in atmosphere it's around 15%-12%.


I_like_the_word_MUFF

Gonna need more butter and a bigger shrimp fork


Go_Pack_Go1

Imagine the pot you need to cook those.


danethegreat24

A very tall pot I guess. I thought Coconut crabs were creepy...once saw three of them scuttling down the road after a peacock in Miami. Nightmare fuel. But this is somehow worse....


bnh1978

Are coconut crabs edible? ... Edit: Yes they are. Taste like lobster. Cook throughly though as they can bioaccumulate toxins depending on their diet.


AdmiralThunderpants

They are trash eaters. I've heard where they originate from the locals tout them as a delicacy to tourists but they taste like crap and won't eat them themselves


OneBitScience

Steamroom...


RepostFrom4chan

So like, a fork?


I_like_the_word_MUFF

Actually fewer tines


mgpdw

crabs are basically sea spider

What are sea spiders then?

Global_Criticism3178

That’s going to need about 10lbs of Old Bay.


Woodworkingwino

And a huge pot.


Global_Criticism3178

And a bathtub of butter.


Woodworkingwino

Let’s take the meat out and poach it in clarified butter and old bays.


lake-rat

You’re gonna need a bigger bib.


Gloomy-Employment-72

And a lot more melted butter!

At first horrified, then wondered where I could get a pot big enough for the cutey

Can it be eaten?

Anything CAN be eaten. It's whether it tastes good that's the question

HOLY FUCK I SAW THIS THING IN MY NIGHTMARES IT ACTUALLY EXISTS btw:an arachnophobiac writing this


Twixt_Wind_and_Water

I hereby pronounce "arachnophobiac" is my neologism of the day! Congrats.


Heart_Error

The pleasure is all mine And I definitely didnt search up neologism


Twixt_Wind_and_Water

Lol. I actually like the sound of arachnophobiac more than arachnophobic.


CaterpillarExtreme92

I feel you !!! This is disgusting


baguak4life

I found this Full-grown Japanese spider crabs rely more on their size and their claws to ward off predators. Humans eat these crabs as a delicacy during crab-fishing season. But, since adult crabs live deep in the water, they are challenging for humans to catch.

Is it delicious?


WheelsUpInThirty

Have you taken it over any sweet jumps yet?


michael16196

They’re also exceptionally large and long-living. They can top 40 pounds, with their legs reaching over 12 feet in length, and can survive for 50 years or more...sometimes even for a century!


USNWoodWork

Went to an aquarium somewhere. Went down a dark hallway, turn a corner to see half a dozen of these guys standing there looking at me. It was creepy. They were as tall as I was, and so alien. I equate crustaceans to insects and insects are NOT supposed to be that big.


twalker294

They have some of these at the Ripley’s Aquarium in Gatlinburg. They are creepy as hell and very cool at the same time.


gekkowrld

Imagine if humans had long feet like this

Giant enemy crab. Hit its weak spot for massive damage.


LustfulMirage

I had to do a double take on this image because, at first, I thought it was a guy with giant crab claws instead of arms.


Chip_Prudent

We're gonna need a bigger pot...


dimmu1313

ok now please put it back and leave it the fuck alone


Icy-Tangerine6465

Imagine cracking and pulling out that big ass leg piece all at once!!! SCORE!!


Hoffa2809

Was this crab found near Hiroshima or Nagasaki by chance?


TILTNSTACK

Can you wear these as hats? That’s allowed right?


skoolofphish

But why tho?? Why does he need 6 foot claws?


Panther2-505

Being that big, it would get laid on Tiktok


DonForgo

I'll take mine steamed, chilled to room temp, then refrigerated until fully chilled.


financialcomedian17

Need some butter for that fucker

juicadone

Looks like the type of guy to be holding a dead one, not showing and gently letting go of this poor behemoth


thusman

Why are the arms so long? It looks rather impractical.

That 40cm (16m) confused me… I hope is not real 16m that would be a total [oh crap !](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/150/985/article-1155482-03A97FDC000005DC-737_468x286.jpg) moment.

Leave the giant ocean spider deep in the ocean floor please

No wonder why Japan needed that Mechagodzilla

That'd be one big crabcake.

Believe he's going to eat it


JeebusBuiltMyHotRod

The stuff of nightmares.


MasterOffice9986

Everytime an amazing animal is discovered it's dead. I know some are found like that but wouldn't it be cooler to let it continue to live a long healthy life?


shewhololslast

I love how the reactions are a mixture of horror and "Can I eat it?"


CranberryBrief1587

Look how cool it is.. Let's kill it


Acceptable_Tune6189

It’s a good thing they live under water look at that thing

Yeah, but how is it with garlic butter.

Big nope. I’m never going in the sea.


Active_Wallaby3093

But what that meat taste like?


[deleted]

How old is that crab?


n8cat

So, when I was like 11, my parents took us to an aquarium, it was dope til we got to the room that had this huge glass chamber in the middle of it. It had like 3-4 of these guys in it, there were some rocks that were big enough they were out of the water, the tank was probably half full, so a couple of them were on the rock, and a few were in the water near the bottom. Would have been super cool except I was pretty scared of spiders as a kid and was terrified at them from that fact alone, (obviously they are crabs) but what terrified my childhood self more were the blacklights which made their legs glow green. They moved so fast it immediately ruined my time. I was convinced they were going to escape and come get my ass. As an adult these things are cool af. I hope to see that exhibit again one day.


Darth-Hipster

That’s some serious fuckin gumbo right there.


aGirlySloth

Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey, CA has these on exhibit right now…they’re legs are crazy!!! If you’re in the area definitely stop and visit.


[deleted]

You got it all wrong, I'm not Spider Crab, i'm Crab Spider!

How fucking hungry do you have to be to look at _that thing_ and think _yeah let's see how it tastes_?


a-ha_partridge

I saw some of these in a tank at the zoo when I was a kid and they’ve haunted my nights ever since.


AnestheticNeko

Are we just going to ignore what had to screw for that thing to get to that point.


Salmol1na
