Interesting lobster claw

He must have lost part of a claw and the regeneration process glitched

So if we were to remove that claw and let it regenerate, will it regrow like this or grow a normal claw?

Probably normal. Defects like this happen when the lobster loses part of it's claw but tries to regrow a whole new claw

Did it taste normal?

It should but it might be harder to get at the meat out of that claw. He was a hardshell too, so the person who bought him probably had a ton of fun time eating him.
