Justin699:i'm green with envy!
KOMPRESSOR:Anyway, these King Crabs aren't welcomed in Norway since they are an introduced species. The russians moved a few individuals from the Pacific over to the Northern Ocean and they've multiplied ever since. Now they're a pest in our northernmost waters, and they destroy fishing nets and eat anything that doesn't move on the ocean floor. You can see them in tens of thousands some places.
And to top it off our government is bound to fishing treaties with the russians, so we cannot start commercial fishing for them in any amount that would help. Those with a king crab license however, they can pretty much laugh all the way to the bank, 'cause prices for king crab are way up there!
It's supposed to be great food, and I intend to find out pretty soon, with or without permission!
