  We had king crab to eat in northern Norway, where they have completely taken over the sea was heaving with them. It was delicious.

  It looks crab shaped but i reckon its either seaweed,a shadow or maybe some sort of oil slick,it looks just a flat shape if you look closely,definatly no crab.

  Front page of a tabloid today, another thing to note is that the photo was taken 15 months ago and only now in the public domain.
