So we on the Texas Coast have been seeing land crabs for several years. Destructive things they are.
Apparently they are tasty and seals and sea lions love them!..............
Blue land crabs are good eating. They are so good they are regulated in Florida to limit their catch to keep the species alive. In the Bahamas and Caribbean they are so popular they are nearly fished to extinction in places. Big suckers with a huge claw and body full of gorgeous white crab meat. If you see them in Texas by all means catch it and boil that bad boy. You can set out chicken wire traps just like water crabs for em that’s what we do on padre don’t let the rangers see they get pissy with land traps on the Nat.seashore.
