Soft-Shell Crab Production in Louisiana
Daniel Edgar, owner of St. Mary Seafood & Marina and infamous star Swamp People, provides a tour of his soft-shell blue crab operation in Franklin, Louisiana. Soft-shell blue crab is a value-added subsection of the larger commercial crabbing industry done at shedding facilities across the coast. Recently, this traditional Louisiana business has been in decline. In 2017, only about 10,800 pounds of soft-shell were produced in Louisiana. Lively and Carol Franze, an AgCenter and Sea Grant specialist, are working to revive the soft-shell crab industry. This video was produced by Anna Ribbeck, LSU AgCenter social media strategist.
