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!

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.

definitely diving into your videos. Thank you so much for taking the ti to teach us that are green in the field. Have a great day

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.

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.

Preserving them raw in a jar of soysauce and topping on sushi rice is one way of enjoying crab meat. Ask some Koreans to search for “gejang” recipes.

They make an awesome fish stock together with small rock fish. We use them is Spain all the time! Just don't boil the fish stock for more than 20 min. and des-espumate (remove the foam) as it forms. If you have so many you could sell fish stock in the supermarkets in a tetra brick or similar.

Excellent idea is to turn what others consider as trash or invaluable into desired product. Thumbs up!

Lobsters served to inmates were also, like, crushed and blended. The preparation was half the punishment.

As a Marylander who loves blue crabs, I am certainly open to trying the green crabs especially if I lived in New England.

a good bisque can be used with many dishes i often spend upto 4 hours making a nice bisque which i can then freeze and use as needed over the next few months

Anyone who fishes north east coasts will know. These crabs have had a huge negative impact.

Whenever I see stories like this I'm like "If this was in Philippines....." HAHAHAHA nothing goes to waste here.

Amazing because years ago there were loads in the south west of France, and today they are very scarce!

I guess the French just eat it all?

They can make calcium supplement from crab shell too. Grind it into powder and use it as flavourings

Can't they also be used for fertilizer? Just grind them up to dust and put it on the top soil.

I trap 1000-1500 lbs a day. Fertilizer / compost market would run 5-10 cents a lb. bait for my traps runs $50 a day, fuel on the water is $15, fuel to drive them to a processor runs $15.

Wonder how long it will take before these crabs appear on " So Expensive " series.

Condensed crab stock would be a good product given the small amount of meat and difficulty of harvesting meat or soft shells.

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).

Unfortunately, they don't sell that whiskey outside of their home state :(

I once had an oyster beer and it was amazing. I wouldn’t doubt that a crab whiskey could be just as good.

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

That orange crab 🦀 fat mixed in with your common spaghetti prep is heaven... try it.. 😋😋

Cool

I love crab meat and would totally get some here in KY

Would make a fantastic garden emulsion product. If they can make it cheaper than current products then they’ll sell tons of it.

They can't compete there. They are not that easy to catch compared to minerals. You would only get some dozens pounds for the price of a ton of chemical fertilizer

nice

Soft shell... Yum

Why not use it as a flavoring on chips?

Sounds like the government should trap the crabs and make them into soup for soup kitchens.

Alot of green crabs in a large KFC bucket, some fried potatoes, and a grape pop! A bag of cool ranch doritos on the side.😎

It's a delicacy here in northern east india deepfry. Just boil with ginger flowers/leaves and greens

What do you mean there are no natural predators for green crabs in New England? YOU are. Humans are the ultimate apex predator for all invasive species, especially if they are delicious. And crabs are sure delicious. 🦀 🦀

Yeah but having a natural predator within the ecosystem really helps thin their numbers out.

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.

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.

It's not being advertised. No one big has picked it up. Similar to lionfish.

I would love to try a green crab bisque!

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.

"invasive means inedible" - I've never met an American who ever says that.

If that crab species are abundance in my country, it will be food for many instead of pest that caused distraction in some area of fisheries

Restaurants should market them as “organically imported” and/or “small batch harvested” crab & caviar.

Here in the Philippines we make crab meat paste with chili. It really taste good as an appetizer(Mixed with rice) The crabs here looks the same. This is definitely marketable in asia.

Lobsters are once called 'the cockroaches of the sea' So can we serve those crabs to prisoners?

I don't think that logically follows but there's probably more meat in those crabs than what we feed prisoners now anyways

They would make great compost and mulch possibly. That's a great use and market.

in some countries in asia, the orange part of the crab (eggs) are eaten on a regular basis. I've tasted it. It's pretty good but it is an acquired taste.

Well the answer is dont be picky and sell them more cheaper and make it more accessible to people This crab is good also for Drinking snacks EZ to cook butter crab or boiled damn west really is picky eater
