The king crab is pulled up in large pots that have been on the seabed several hundred metres below sea level. They are then delivered to the quay, and you get a close encounter with these very long-limbed, giant crabs. 

The guide tells you about the crab that came from Russia in the 70's. They now provide lots of jobs, and Honningsvåg has the largest exporter of live king crab to the world market.  

Under the dark red, jagged shell is white, juicy crab meat that has such a sweet taste so that it can be served on its own. And at the end of the excursion, you get to taste vast amount of crab claws.
