At first, it was the unannounced visitor who came from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

In recent years, however, it seems that blue crabs have settled for good in the waters of Methoni Bay in Pieria and at the Delta of River Pineous in lower Olympus. They stand out for their enormous size, blue color and amazing taste, being considered a special seafood delicacy that is high in nutritional value.  You may taste them in the fish taverns of Methoni or by the region of the river Delta. You may, also, fish them yourselves (show caution, they are not joking with their big claws) by following the instructions of local fishermen.
