THIS. very true what you just said. no restaurant will actually bring you a scale to show you. and if they do, they will almost certainly switch the crab when they cook it. ive personally seen this happen.
all you can really do is, go into dinner KNOWING that you are paying for more weight than you are actually getting. i mean, whoever is going out to a chinese seafood restaurant for live king crab isnt poor, or living paycheque to paycheque. so go in knowing what you are paying for and not worrying about it, and you'll have a good time and enjoy your dinner!
ps. you can always buy live king crab from me, and cook it yourself. you can even look at the scale when i weigh em lol
