"odd that no one eats crabs" Top 5 Page for this destination Galápagos Islands Local Custom Tip by richiecdisc

With all the good sized crabs running around Puerto Ayora, we thought it odd that no restaurants offered them to eat. We asked one of our guides and he said that while it's not offically allowed that locals did eat them. Of course, this was all off the record. They certainly didn't seem endangered but I guess if people eat them when they aren't allowed that it could become a problem is it was!

At any rate, it's fun watching the scurry around the lava rocks with the greatest of ease.
