Don't just stand there, dammit, get me some butter sauce!

[TheSpottedOwl]

Idiotic enviromentalists. Get every spare boat out there and start catching them. They can send the surplus to us!

[tiamat]

You and I are on the same page.

Why is this an issue?

Where are the crackers, where is the drawn butter?

Where is Carlo? He'll have good ideas for fixing these critters once people get bored with plain old "stamed" crab!

[Batrachian]

I hear crabs are a big problem in the Russian military as well, and they're spreading.

[Abcdefg]

"Served with bread, butter, lemon and mayonnaise, the taste and texture of the crab meat is comparable with that of the finest lobster."

And that will be the death of them!

[adamj]

YUM!!!

At present, some Norwegian fishermen have been granted seasonal licences to catch the Kamchatka crab but stiff regulations on the size of the boat used and other criteria mean they are few in number.

As usual, government is the problem. Why is it so hard to approve unlimited harvesting of these crabs? Who do the fisherman need to pay off to get this done?

[Schattie]

Mmmmmm... I assume these aren't Alaskan king crabs. Too bad.... they're deliscious.

[bobo1]

Sounds like an opportunity for some delicious seafood. Harvest the he## out of them and send them here.

PETA be dam##.

Blessings, Bobo

After harsh interrogation, Stalinist invaders meet their end.

[null and void]

Round up the usual suspects...

Typical! Euroweenies just don't understand that FREE ENTERPRISE could take care of this problem very easily.

What a problem, having hordes of $10/LB critters advancing on you.

Wow. Now if they could only grow a chicken that tastes like lobster.

[luvbach1]

If they taste good, no problem! Let's organize an expedition!

[G.Mason]

"This animal has no natural predators and it's an alien species in the Barents Sea. That's why its numbers are exploding."

Silly person.

Humans are natural predators!

[sharktrager]

These are supposed to be better.

[TADSLOS]

Energised by a mysterious population explosion a decade ago...

What did Bush know and when did he know it?

[Snuffington]

The animal's legs are considered a delicacy and fetch top dollar in Japan and America. Even in Oslo, consumers pay around 200 Norwegian kronor (£15) a pound. Served with bread, butter, lemon and mayonnaise, the taste and texture of the crab meat is comparable with that of the finest lobster. One leg is enough to provide a grown man with a filling meal.

Threat, my eye! This is one invasion I fully endorse!

[Smocker]

They can't decide what to do? how moronic do you have to be in Norway before you realize that you need to get a big boat out there and start catching and selling these things?
