This guy seemed to have made something pretty tasty out of them

Re: Tuna Crab

Crab fed fish fillets should end up being extra tasty.

Re: Tuna Crab

Thay look just like the crawfish we eat here and in Louisiana, except they look cleaner. Corn, onion, potatoes, celery, lemon juice, Andouille sausage chunks, Cajun seasoning & bring to a boil for ten minutes, add bugs for 6 more minutes at a rolling boil. Drain and dump on the table. Cold beer or sweet tea, some melted butter---aaayyyaaah!

Re: Tuna Crab

I don't know about eating them but they are the best bait when fished at night against structure. I collected a bunch during the day and tried them for bait in the evening- hook them in the body/underbelly and they swim like crazy. You get bit every time! Get a ton because you will run out real fast. They also stay alive for about 5 hours in a 5gal bucket of salt water.

Re: Tuna Crab

Pretty good.

You work on a tuna seiner for a while...... you're gonna eat lots of stuff out at sea that you run across. Sauries=(Sanma) tuna crabs, funky little octopus which come to the lights at night...... in 7,000 ft. deep water, weird deep water fish that like boat lights- we ate lots of different stuff.

Tuna crabs are ok. Like soft crayfish, but saltier.
