A guy claims to have bought these crabs from the fish market and a friend told him it’s a poisonous crab. I have no idea how they made it into a fish market but be careful buying crabs… if it looks colorful and has a black tip on its claws, it’s poisonous. As in will kill you dead in a short time.
There is something fishy about this story. Usually, when you buy at the market they come tied up and not in a box mixed with starfishes and other random crabs. This is probably bought from a grandma that found a box of random sea creatures from one of her fishermen relatives and decided to go sell them.
This I heard about many years ago when a foreigner showed a fisherman in the Philippines the catch of the day, a crab. The fishermen made him clear that when he eats this crab he would die.
There are only a few species of crab that will kill you tho.
Ya really. I have read about maby a seafood being contaminated via human laziness and greed. But baturally poisonous crabs is new on me. Pretty cool. Bout time they figured out biological warfare. Pinchers just make people hungry, not scared…
