An Umami sauce made from invasive green crabs.

Briny, aromatic, and funky, this garum carries an intense crustacean flavor that’s built for bold cooking. Less delicate than our eel garum but with the same complex, deep umami; this is for cooks who like their flavors loud. Perfect for elevating seafood pastas, chowders, maybe a bloody mary and any dish that wants a serious oceanic backbone. 

Ingredients: Green Crab, Water, Salt

Crabs harvested from the Gulf of Maine by Shell+Claw.

Wow this stuff is awesome. I’m never buying grocery store fish sauce again (until this is in grocery stores!) It amplifies flavors, makes everything taste like its best self. I put it in anything that needs a little savory boost. Fried eggs (amazing). Chicken stock. Marinara (shhh). Anything that calls for soy sauce. Almost feels like cheating…my family does love me more now.

This is such an awesome idea! Using invasive plants and animals as food? I'm there. Of the two sauces they make, this one is the beast. It's very oceanic, much bigger and bolder.

Very "crabby" on the nose. I thought I wouldn't like it, but when I mix a small amount into any range of savory dishes, the crabbiness really mellows out and the umami savoriness is amazing. I added a dash to some german potato salad and it was magical. Added a dash to a bowl of navy bean soup and the flavor was spectacular. You won't regret using this.

Great fish sauce with a distinct crabby flavor. Especially good for use in Asian dishes, such as Ramen soup, or rice and noodle dishes.

I've cooked with fish sauce for a while, and also love the idea of eating invasive crabs that have been causing destruction to local environments.

It has a strong crab smell and a salty flavor. It smells like the house after a big crab boil. I tried adding it to some chowder and it turned out great. My toddler couldn't get enough of it.

I wish you massive success so this sauce can be mass produced in a way that makes it more affordable, and in larger quantities.

I'd love for it to be able to compete with Three crabs as a staple seafood sauce.

This Lil Crab is very nice stuff. On the surface, it resembles asian fish sauces, with similar funkiness, umami, saltiness, and general balanced savoriness, but here instead of the sharper anchovy tang, there's a distinct crabbiness, a very well-rounded savor.

Fantastic. The most clean and pure crab scent and flavor profile. I hope this becomes the go to method of handling this invasive species, as ive had my bottle for 30 minutes so far, and wish to never again go without
