Fish tale

A red king crab has legs so long that it could stretch across a doorway. It walks along the deep, sandy seabed and only comes shallower to find a partner. Norway, where it now lives, were world champions in women's football in 1995.

Island story

On Futbol Island the red king crab can be caught at:

  • Deep Sea Boat: A little fishing boat moored far out in the deep blue bay, north of the East Jetty. Squid, marlin and stranger things swim far below.
  • Summit Deep Boat: A second little fishing boat, moored in the deep channel west of Summit Isle. Green, deep water where tuna, sailfish and marlin hunt the bait balls.

Size on the island: 15–30 cm.
