Velvet Crab

This crab, with a flat, dark brown shell covered with short fur, is known for its aggressive behaviour. Look out for your fingers! Its diet is omnivorous, being composed of brown seaweeds, bivalve molluscs and crustaceans. The Velvet Crab offers us, no doubt, one of the best ways to feel the sea aroma at the table! We want to quote Miguel Esteves Cardoso: “They give as a lot of work for very few rewarding. You have to hammer, sharpen, pinch and suck like a crazy person to get a little strand of transcended deliciousness”
