Brown or Edible Crab
Link to Shore Animals
This is the largest crab in our seas, easily recognised by its pie-crust shell and large black-tipped
claws. Like most crabs it is a very versatile animal, able to feed on a wide variety of foodstuffs and
happy to live on rock, sand or mud. They are caught by fishermen in baited creels.
