MOLE CRAB CHOWDER
1 to 2 pounds of live mole crabs
2 cups of water
2 to 3 red onions, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablepsoon butter
½ teaspoon cilantro, minced
2 to 4 more cups of water
1 cup noodles, rice, or potatoes, not cooked
flour or toasted wheat flour
Steam the crabs in a covered pan with 2 cups of water until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the stove and, with the crabs still in the broth, mash thoroughly with a potato masher. Strain through cheesecloth, retaining the broth and discarding the crabs. Next, fry the onions to a golden color in the oil and butter, and mix with the broth in a saucepan. Add the cilantro and two cups of water. Heat the broth and add either the noodles, rice, or potatoes to “stretch" the broth. Remember to add sufficient water to cook the quantity of ingredient you add. The broth and chowder may also be thickened by adding plain flour or toasted wheat flour.

We have a hard enough time finding sand fleas without
the public being encouraged to eat our bait.

X3, They left out one thing. After cooking , throw them out.
Just like ye olde carp recipe.....bake it on a plank, throw carp away and eat the board.
Actually, first recipe says to strain the fleas and save the broth......which amounts to nothing more than flea excrement. Any other parallels to what we eat pale in comparison to that rancid stuff. May as well urinate in a bowl and spare the fleas for bait.

on second thought - - - - emphasize to the tourists that
the sand fleas are the most yummy if chewed up and swallowed
with a bit of the broth, shells and all ....... maybe then they will leave them ALONE !!!
