#Maine's invasive #GreenCrabs aren't going anywhere, so why not eat them?

Maine's coast is overrun by invasive green crabs, which harm natural nurseries for lobster larvae and eat clam beds. Fishermen are looking to turn them into food.

By Jack Molmud, June 26, 2023

Excerpt: "To the year, Masi's crew is hauling in around 5,000 pounds of live green crabs. They said more could easily be harvested, but they are still looking for more buyers.

"One buyer in Portsmouth, Row 34, is using the soft-shell green crab to make a slider.

"Josh Peck, the chef at Row 34, said it's getting customers talking.

" 'We sell a fair amount of them,' Peck said. 'There is no lack of sustainability with the green crab.'

"But while the thousands of pounds of green crabs are shipped to restaurants and bait dealers around New England, Masi, and his crew hope that number will only grow. The summer months are moving on, and the crabs are stopping the molting process, which produces the soft shell.

" 'It's a start. You got to start somewhere,' Masi said."
