Kayaker ??

Octopuses...yum, yum!!

Jim....those are the gills...not toxic, just as inedible as feathers on birds; they get sieved out with the shell.

As we grapple with red signal crayfish and grey squirrels from the USA….it’s funny to read that the Eastern seaboard of America is facing an invasion of green shore crabs. It seems boats and their ballast tanks are responsible…and now our little shore crabs are upsetting their shellfish industry.! One approach to tackle it is trying to encourage people in the US to eat them! Trouble is it would take all day to extract a thimble of crabmeat! …but it is nice! The other approach is to make a’broth’ as they call it. I prefer ..bisque. This I can recommend…. go crabbing and don’t put them back….boil for a few mins in seawater…they go bright red. Crunch them up / blitz….and cook for a while with onion, carrot, celery, wine and a tin of tomato. a bit more blitzing and pass through a sieve reduce a bit…a splash of cream and serve with crusty bread. Yum!

A couple of months too late. One of mine broke , so replaced both and tossed the ok one !,
