Giant crab caught off shore of Tasmania, gets new home

A huge crab has just been spared becoming someone’s supper after being caught. In reality, not just one person’s supper, but more along the lines of feeding a crowd. The giant crab, recently named Claude, was caught off the coast of Tasmania.Initially Claude’s future may or may not have been destined to be on someone’s dinner plate, (if so, the 20 lbs of meat would make quite a bit of crab cakes or sticks!) but instead will live at the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, Dorset. When the aquarium learned of the monstrous crab, it bought Claude and two others for $4,845 and had them shipped to the U.K.
