The crab’s moniker, Big Daddy, after the professional wrestler, was also included in the caption.
“The crab was named after the professional wrestling star Big Daddy (UK, 1930–1997, b. Shirley Crabtree, Jr), who was a regular in the ring at the Blackpool Tower 🥊🤼 ”
The world-record-breaking crab was originally going to be sold in a Japanese seafood market, but a compromise was reached, and he was brought to the UK instead, according to VisitBlackpool.
