So I went out to eat tonight with my parents and my girlfriend. Long story short... my dad's friend owns a resteraunt in china town (Happy Chef) and they get a couple live king crabs flown in from alaska twice a year. Well here is the ten pounder we had tonight. The pictures really don't show it's size.

Before: (This sucker kept spinning the lazy susan around. Kind of funny)








After:







This is the third time we ahave gone and it is the second biggest at 10 lbs. Thothers were about 12 and 8. They are so sweet you don't even need butter. :joy:

i really do hate you now dan!!! j/k that thing looks tasty!! :leghump: :liplick:

I hope you are talking about the crab and not my dads friend in the background. :bustingup Yeah... it was awesome though. (And' I sure don't envy your bar tab. :blah: )

don't envy it! that crab had to cost a fortune!!!! i know what i pay for a pound of crab legs i can only imagine a whole crab!!!

Yeah he was one expensive bastage... but worth every penny. You eat everything. It is so cool. After they cut the legs and claws off and you have those... they break the body apart and pretty much take everything else and make it into a noodle dish. Really good. Kind of sad to think that when you get just the legs from a grocery store... they just threw the rest away. It was soo cool to se him alive and walking around though.

they don't throw the rest away!! they use everything but the shell! and even that gets used as fertilizer

Believe me... through many sources I have found that most is thrown away. Some may be chopped up for fertilizer... but not as much as you may hope.

That's the biggest damn bug I've ever seen !!! And you ATE IT !!!! No really, we love seafood around here. Nice meal for one !

Yeah that looks like a giant bug!!! Who do ya think the first guy was that looked at one of those and said" MMMMMMmmmmm mmmm Dinner!!!" LOL!!!

It was a brave man that ate the first oyster.

Yeah a shell full of snot!!! Yeah... My mouth is watering!!! :bustingup

And as for them being aphrodisiacs, that's BS. Ate a dozen last night and only 4 of them worked.

...reminds me of the movie "Starship Troopers"

Hey... survival of the fittest. Either I hate him or he was eating me. This place actually has really good oysters too. They make it with some sort of weird bean sauce and when they are done being steamed they are perfect... every time. No snot and not tough. My second favorite thing from that resteraunt.

Cooked oysters !!!!!!!!!!! NEVER !!!!!!!!!

They are awesome...

We eat all sorts of weird stuff there though. Last time we had geoduck. It is a clam with a big muscular foot. What is inside the clam they cook up but the slice the foot real thin and serve it on ice. That you eat raw. Very tasty. On top of the crab dish yesterday were some orage fish eggs... also awesome.

Here is a pic of a geoduck. That thing that looks like a you know what is the foot, and the part we ate raw.

And these were no ordinary oysters... you had to cut them into at least 3 big pieces to eat them. They were huge this time.

I have learned something new today..................



and isn't Geoduck a PokeMan card?

couldn't tell you... never played/watched it. I was too cool. :-)

I have kids and spoil them.....that's how I know PokeMan. Though, I wish I had all that money back, along with beanie babies, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameBoy, GameBoyAdvanced, PlayStation.......jeez why did I start that? Now I'm depressed. Oh well, nothing a good Christmas shopping spree won't cure!!
