Ask for North Sea crab in a fish shop or restaurant and you often only get a few legs. Defused claws, once part of a spry crab. It is said to be the easiest part of the crustacean to eat. But where did the rest of the beast actually go? The carcass of a crab is never for sale separately in the fish shop. The Value Inspection Service is scratching its head, scouring the North Sea and discovering that the crab is in serious trouble as soon as it comes into human hands.
