half of the whole crab = 1/4 pound
the whole of the half crab = a pound

The half crab weighs as much as the whole crab "again". So you don’t mean the half crab is double the whole crab when you say "again"

No, forget the again. It is just there to confuse you. The half crab weighs the same amount as the whole crab.

I still think I'm right. They weight the same, together they weigh 1.5 lbs. Therefore, they weigh 3/4 of a lb each.
1/2*3/4=3/8.
3/8+3/4=9/8 or 1 1/8.
Am I missing something?
That is one of the possible solutions, but not the preferred solution. You want the whole of the half crab...
