Invasive green crabs are wrecking marine ecosystems everywhere from New England to the Pacific Northwest. That doesn't mean they're not delicious. That's why environmentalists and chefs are turning them into whiskey and bisques. But can we ever drink or eat enough of them to make a difference?

I grew up on Cape Cod where these little green crabs have become very abundant. I could walk to the water's edge and probably find about 20 greenies within 5 minutes. We were always taught that they're inedible; blue crabs were always the sought after catch. It's interesting to find out that they are in fact edible and decently good!

@CloningIsTooGoodForSheep Год назад

Green crabs are very tasty and have a deep rich flavour from the darker meat. They are expensive to buy in europe though and are a bit of a delicacy. The meat is often served in the shell which serves as a nice dice.

I was thinking something similar. Seafood chowder is delicious, and since these crabs are so over abundant, they'd make a good commercial source of potentially inexpensive natural flavoring if collection was scaled up enough.

@Bob_Adkins Год назад

They are a potential source of delicious canned chowder! I think the problem is, there would be too much hand work in processing, making it too expensive. Small-ish crabs are a real 3D puzzle to clean and process, and no machine could even do a half-decent job of separating meat/shell/entrails. Maybe someday though, it sounds delicious!

@@slewone4905 My understanding from the vid is that there aren't a ton of players in this industry at the moment. I agree that that is too expensive for use as a fertilizer today, but the more people who tag in, the cheaper it becomes to harvest as it gets more competitive which drives innovations which improves efficiency. Of course, that could just as easily lead to artificial price inflation with demand, trying to "play the system", and maybe even breed these crabs rather than remove them from the environment, or a whole slew of other underhandedness that defeats the purpose of finding an economical way to 'reduce the roar' of the impact this overpopulated invasive species has on its impacted environments. I don't know. I don't have the resources to put into influencing it myself, so I can only hope that the situation improves using any and all means that lead to net positive outcomes.

@jibrilevans7428 Год назад

You can probably build a factory which processes the green crab into various different products. First off, you gather hundred of crabs and give them a good clean wash to rid them of any sand and dirt. Then secondly, you toss them in batches into a large factory boiler to humanely cook them. Afterward you send the cooked crabs into a conveyor belt for processing, meanwhile the boiled crab water can be package as crab broth for crab soup or stewed flavor meals. A machine will separate the crab limbs and body as well as meat from shells. The most desire portion of the crab meat will soon go into the canning process where spices, seasoning, and preservatives are added for a longer shelf life. The lease desire portion of the crab meat like the innards or minuscule leg meat can be separated into another conveyor belt which process them as livestock feed, pet food or even fish/crab bait. Finally the shells can be grounded and added into compost as nutrients for potential fertilizer. Nothing goes to waste.

@unknownguyindo4356 Год назад

The crabs are still a problem but the effort to dent it's population is still low because the green crabs consumption is not very high on America and the lack of natural predators make them thrive very easily like carps. In Asia, crabs and carps is a common meal. We literally eat carp too much that some of the species need to be farmed to keep it's population going and knowing carp can still thrive even on dirty water make you think how much we like carp.

@MadeByChinkee Год назад

The lady said it right. It all comes down to people willing to try a different menu instead of the usual burgers, pizza, or mashed potato. These crabs will not be called invasive in Asia. Just like carp. When we watch fishermen in America where they would throw away salmon heads and bones, we're like, "such a waste." You just have to boil 'em in water with onions, tomatoes, ginger, lemon grass, salt, and maybe some msg for that umami taste. That's one delish soup that will warm you up. Specially in cold months.

I've been making crab paella lately. I used to use other kinds of seafood, but I've noticed crab is so much tastier, and easier to clean..... (since you only need to clean two or three, depending on their size, that is if you're the one that comes out winning though).

@dmcarstensen Год назад

I wonder if anyone has investigated if High Pressure Processing would make processing green crab meat profitable.

@Frostfire613 Год назад

I feel like the size of the crab could be contributing to the fact that not many are eating them. They could be thinking that it's too small to eat unlike big species like King Crab, snow crab, or Dungeness crab where there's a lot of meat to work with along with being easier to eat in general.

@MMMmyshawarma Год назад

There are a ton of uses for small crabs, just look to where there crabs originated from and are not a problem. You'll find it integrated in the cuisine. So in this case, the easiest use is an inexpensive source of shellfish stock.

We had Chinese Mitten Crabs show up in San Francisco Bay some years back. They really took off, then tapered off after that. They wouldn't allow them to be commercially fished due to a "lung fluke". The thought was that if allowed to be caught commercially, it would encourage planting of non-native species. That's California for you.
