Are they good to eat?
I’m not sure. Love crab, but most of the ones ran over were pretty much left for the vultures! You’d have to be completely outfitted to catch them and ready to cook them right away if they were.
Now blue crabs...yummy all day long! Too bad those don’t show up in the yard!
The Cubans went after them hard. I stopped to watch one time. A little old urban lady had a stick with a bent nail at the end. She was pretty deft at hooking them. She was going after a big one in some rocks and couldn’t keep up. Some young woman took her stick and caught up to it and wailed on it. When the little old lady caught up, she looked at the crab, looked at the woman, said “Muy mal,” and snatched her stick back.
