Eat the Invasive: A Collaborative Green Crab Supper

Curious about green crabs? This invasive crustacean has been making increasingly frequent appearances in the news and public discourse as they move further north; now present in Maine waters, the green crab presents a real threat – they have few predators, aggressively hunt other species, and effectively outcompete local species for food and habitat.
What can you do to help? Well, the first step to get educated! Join John Painter of Maine Green Crabs for a hands-on exploration of all things green crab. Learn about the ecological threat these creatures pose to our state, but also about the proactive efforts underway to mitigate their impact. Plus, discover the culinary potential of green crabs and why they deserve a place on your plate – one way to help is to eat them!
In this class, participants will learn how to process green crabs for cooking and collaborate with their classmates to cook several delectable green crab dishes. This unique workshop will culminate in a shared dinner featuring the dishes you helped to make during the class.
All ingredients, equipment and recipes will be provided – plus additional resources about green crabs for you to take home and share with friends and family. A drink of your choosing to enjoy with dinner – Maine-made wine, beer, cider, mead or soda – is included with the cost of your ticket.
