Costco Customers Freaked Out About Gigantic Lobster Claws

It went viral fast...like supersonic, speed of light fast. They were selling North Atlantic lobster claws that were anywhere from 3 - 5 lbs each...and that is just the weight of the claw! After a couple of food bloggers posted on Instagram and twitter, the interweb started to melt with love for HUGE claws, or perhaps it was just intrigue.

That's GINORMOUS. Do you have any idea how think the shell is? So thick, you probably should use a chainsaw to break the shell!

Costco focused on the West Coast stores for these bad boys and they went fast...there are just not many lobsters this size that get caught and sold. Let's say you find one, like from GetMaineLobster.com. Now what?
