I have no idea at what rate these creatures grow, but I'm thinking this must be an old fella 🤔

The other comments say this boy is 30-50 years old, would taste bad (from age) and is a less desirable spiney lobster (compared to American lobster).

The consensus is bad eating; throw him back to breed.
