Coconut crabs are very cool. When I was staying in Efate in the Vanuatu Islands, we would see them from time to time. They don't seem very common these days, due to their tastiness (and supposed aphrodisiac properties). They are amazing climbers - not something you'd immediately associate with a giant crab. One friend woke up in the middle of the night, third floor of a treehouse bungalow, to find a coconut crab devouring a loaf of bread on the kitchen table. I guess that's why they're called Robber Crabs.

Where on God's green Earth do these things live? I would be awfully caught off guard if I walked into my kitchen and a giant crab is eating all my bread.

Coconut crab

Survival tip from the article: Should a coconut crab pinch a person, it will cause pain and be unlikely to release its grip. Thomas Hale Streets reports a trick used by Micronesians of the Line Islands to get a coconut crab to loosen its grip: "It may be interesting to know that in such a dilemma a gentle titillation of the under soft parts of the body with any light material will cause the crab to loosen its hold."

Yes run! Run home and boil a pot of water (big pot) and melt some butter.

I think they taste like crap, hence the lack of cooking.

[–]SouthFresh 0 points1 point ago

They taste better raw?

This was taken on Christmas Island (Australia) where they are known as robber crabs - they are non-aggressive and large ones like this would be 80-90 years old.

Remain calm, gang. It's not a spider. Just a crab.

So is the coconut inside, or is it dipped in coconut, or does it pee coconut water, or what? Want to make sure when I cook it I don't lose any of that delicious coconut flavor.

[–]furixx 0 points1 point ago

[–]alabap[S] 3 points4 points ago

It's not that I don't like crabs, its just that I like them in boiling water with melted butter standing by.
