Some of the ghost crabs on the beach are pretty big. I mean the white crabs on the beach. Do they have any meat? Can you eat ghost crabs? I love blue crab. Anyone have ghost crab recipe?

Does anyone hunt ghost crabs? What is the best way to catch ghost crabs?

So many ghost crab questions. lol

If I was marooned on an island I'm certain I eould eat them. But I doubt there is much meat, even compared to blue crabs. And I love steamed blue crab. (Steamed over beer & vinegar, with rock salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning). Yum.
The smaller ghost crabs would probably make good bait for surf fishing.

As Lars said theirs no meat.

Usually hunting them is just an activity to wear kids out at the end of the day.

Spiders are high in protein. I've never tried eating ghost crabs. Reminds me of Tom Hanks in Castaway when he tries to eat that gross crab with orange slime in it.
