‘Anything can be edible’: how Italians are making a meal of invasive crabs
Blue crabs with no natural predators have been disrupting prized shellfish populations on Italy’s coast. So revenge is on the menu
Worth noting that the species of crabs is invasive from North America and they are hugely popular as a food item here. They’re not forcing themselves to eat garbage-tier crustaceans to make some kind of statement.
Crabs and lobster are basically giant ocean bugs. I don't like blues, though, because there's not much meat on them.
Science nerds: This thing has no natural predators
Italians: We'll see about that
"Into the pot, you little shits."
