A few words...

In addition to fine fish, many shellfish (clams, shells, shrimps, sea urchins, etc.), including crabs, abound in the Messolonghi-Aitoliko lagoon. Moreover, lake Trichonida is home to the so-called freshwater crabs.

Their distinctive taste and their valuable nutrients make crabs an ideal summer appetizer, which is why their place is in our kitchen and not in our pocket (according to a famous Greek saying, if someone has crabs in his pockets it means that he is a tightfisted person)!
