CHEF HUB & ADVISORY NETWORK

In the Northeastern US, invasive green crabs are now one of the most common crab species with a growing fishery. While most green crabs are currently harvested for bait, pet food, and removal efforts, our organization works to uplift culinary markets for green crabs and increase participation in the fishery.
The Chef Advisory Network aims to increase chef participation in the green crab fishery and is open to chefs, cooks, bartenders, and those in the food & beverage industry. Joining this informal network requires no time commitment or membership fee and we welcome participation from individuals outside the US.
