Help us protect the vital clam digging grounds of Ipswich, Essex, and Gloucester by purchasing our New England Green Crabs!  We have been a buyer and seller of green crabs for wholesale customers, now these are available for our retail customers.

The European Green Crab is an invasive crab threatening the balance of our coastal ecosystem by eating shellfish, especially our beloved soft shell clams which will also affect the livelihoods of our clam diggers and the future of our clam flats.

To combat this threat, the towns of Ipswich, Essex, and Gloucester are actively collaborating with local fishermen, paying them to remove them. By purchasing these crabs, you become a crucial part of the solution, helping to create a sustained market that directly supports the removal efforts and protects our harvesting areas.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

• Size: Green crabs are very small (about two crabs will fit in the palm of your hand).
• Not for picking meat: Unlike Blue or Jonah crabs, these are not traditional "eating" crabs and yield very little pickable meat.
• Culinary purpose: Green crabs are primarily used for culinary bases. They are packed with flavor and are highly prized for making rich seafood stocks, broths, bisques, and sauces.
