Frozen Green Crab Claws – Eat Invasives!
Eat Invasives! The European Green Crab (Carcinus maenas) is one of Maine’s most abundant invasive species — so if you can’t beat ‘em, eat ‘em! These flavorful, wild-harvested crab claws are collected from the cold coastal waters of Maine, then carefully cleaned, frozen, and vacuum-sealed to preserve their natural sweetness and briny flavor.
Each pound contains approximately 24 claws, making them perfect for seafood boils, bisques, or small-plate dishes. Green Crab claws have a taste similar to blue crab — delicate, slightly sweet, and distinctly oceanic — offering a sustainable and delicious way to enjoy Maine’s coastal bounty while helping restore native ecosystems.
