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.

        Enough meat in a lobster bug to feed my fat ass.

          Yeah, a lobster is a meal. But to get the same amount of meat out of a blue you’ll have to pick a half dozen of them.

        I realized a long time ago I like crab for two reasons. (1) Butter and garlic delivery system, and (2) keeps my hands busy with all the cracking and poking.

    If there’s one thing humans can do, it’s eat something into ecological collapse 💪

    Italian Armed Forces announces it will begin airdropping salted butter and coleslaw into region in need of assistance.

    War never changes.

    Every species is an invasive species if you go back long enough
