      Right? I’m always looking for cheap crab!

      The crabs are European green crabs.

      Unfortunately:

      While Fisheries and Oceans Canada says recreational and Indigenous harvesting of shore crabs for food — including European green crabs (EGC) — is permitted with a license, commercial fisheries cannot sell them for human consumption.

        The licenses are pretty cheap. I wonder if it counts against your quota or not… if not, I can see people eat them right up for sure.

          Yeah, one of the greatest conservation methods is hunting. It works really well (except for feral hogs in Texas; nobody likes hunting those).
