Surfer/artist Sean Ruttkay was visiting one of Seaview Crab Company’s locations in North Carolina when he had a run in with a blue crab that wasn’t pleased with its new life situation. Let’s just say the crab got revenge.
In a hilarious video posted to Instagram, Ruttkay appears to be ordering some seafood from the counter when points to a crab but gets a little too close. It immediately grabs onto his finger.
Ruttkay and the person behind the counter both have priceless expressions on their faces as the crab bites Ruttkay’s finger, then flies through the air after Ruttkay flicks it off, hitting his back on the way down. It’s all over in a second, and it’s funny enough to make you want to watch several times.
“Our friend @edasurf took one for the team by reminding us all how feisty these blue crabs are when fresh off the water! Not only his finger but also a sneak attack to the back!” Seaview Crab Company wrote in its Instagram post.
