French Polynesia - Coconut Crab Stew
"This recipe is by Patty Inglish, MS and has been posted here for the Zwt-7 tour of the South Pacific.
The coconut crab is named the coconut crab, because it eats coconuts, which it finds by climbing.
It has a taste similar to lobster and can be cooked in a similar way to lobsters, either boiling or steaming them."
