Green crab soup and climate change

You cant make this up. Like the climate change for good measure at the end. New law looks to bring invasive species out of Long Island Sound and onto your dinner plate

I learn something new every day. I did not know Green crabs were invasive. Is that what bait shops sell for bait? Seems counter intuitive as I am sure fisherman with left over bait would probably dump the excess.

I can't see myself asking for a Green Crab anywhere outside of a tackle shop. I have seen enough of what they look like inside and out, and I don't want to eat one.

But on a bit of a more serious note, how long before green crabs are unaffordable and scarce? Also what effect will it have on the Asian crab invasion we have here already?

My point exactly George. Just another segment of recreational fishing being squeezed. As far as eating green crab “bisque”, no way, no how!

Actually Greenies make a passable tomato sauce. They're not blue claws, but they ain't bad... Places up here catch 'em and force them to shed for soft shells. Haven't had one yet, but I bet they're OK. I can fill a 5 gallon bucket in 20 minutes, still waiting for the tog to migrate here...

Several years ago, they used to sell a "T" shirt at "Wego B&T that read:
"In Southampton they call it Sushi. In Southold we call it bait"
I think that applies here.

Lol. When I lived there, that was my go to place. Still a good B&T, not the same without Steve.
