The National:

YESTERDAY we put out pictures of the Prime Minister visiting fishermen in Stromness, Orkney, and asked National readers to come up with their best captions.

And wow, did we receive a lot of responses! Nearly 300 entries over on Facebook, plus a fair few emails and DMs, and more than 600 on Facebook!

We’ve clawed through so many crab puns that we can no longer sea straight – sorry.

The National has compiled our top 10 caption competition entries. Enjoy!

1) It really IS a power crab! – James Bissell

2) New Marvel superhero Crabman looks terrible – Lee Hunter-Mckenna

3) When you don’t have cats, throw a dead crab onto the table – Phil Connolly
