If you can’t beat them, eat them.
That has become a kind of slogan for the New England industry and some of the fishermen who supply them, while trying to eradicate, or at least control, the population of one of the most invasive species in the world: the green crab.
These annoying creatures offer little meat but have their own voracious appetite, wreaking havoc in the seafood industry and the ecosystem.

“They are omnivores, so they eat everything, including many of our really important species and commercial species, such as soft shell clam,” said Adrienne Papal, a habitat quality and water quality program for the Massachusetts coastal area management office.

The crabs have ample environmental tolerances, said Papal, so that they can live from intermareal areas to underwater areas, from 30 to 100 feet.
“They have many ways to survive, and that is why they have a really successful leg,” said Papal. “They are widespread in the environment and can have many different impacts.”
Green crabs are difficult for the seafood industry in Massachusetts, according to Story Reed, deputy director of the Massachusetts Marine Fishing Division (DMF).

“On the north coast, there are five cities that have made eradication programs that have mainly funded the State to pay fishermen to leave and try to eradicate these things,” Reed told Fox News Digital.

“How many pounds of green crabs will they order one of the seafood wholesalers in Boston?” Hey said.
“They are not too edible. It is not as if you could choose them as a lobster. You will die or old age before choosing a green crab for a thimble of it.”
But Sharon St. Our, whose family has been in the seafood business for 45 years, hopes to change that.
“It turns out that they are really delicious.”
