A food reviewer visits a seafood wholesaler to purchase a rare and expensive Tasmanian crab, which can grow up to 40 pounds. The crab costs $780 and is said to be one of the most expensive in the world. The reviewer then takes the crab to a Japanese restaurant, where the chef prepares it in four different ways: as sashimi, in sushi, as a grilled dish with rice, and as a crab ensemble with all the leftover parts. The reviewer is impressed by the crab's flavor and texture, describing it as "warm, sweet, soft, perfect, and delicate." The video ends with the reviewer feeling fulfilled and satisfied with the experience, despite the high cost.
