A visit to the Manila Ocean Park made me think of how these wonderful specimens would taste! :) Just looking at the size of the
Spider Crab made me think of
Chili Crabs! I stood there for quite a while admiring the size of the crab and thinking if it can be bought in the markets and if i had a pan that was big enough. These crabs are
apparently limited to the seas around Japan and can grow to as long as 3 meters with the claws.
If the spider crab caught my attention for a while, the
Giant Grouper made me stare in awe. It must be around 5 feet in length and 2 feet across. As
I've read about, it can even grow up to 9 feet! Wow! Now, that's a lot of fish! Think of this being served whole just like
lechon! There are several at the Manila Ocean Park and they probably weigh around 300 kilos each! From a foodie standpoint,
that's good for month in our household and many grouper recipes. I enjoyed that trip because of the many interesting species and of course the imagining of the many possibilities of those two wonderful specimens!
