Boss Vance knew about the Blue Crabs. No, to be more precise, he knew about these creatures called crabs. Their location here was considered a minor regional trading hub, where various animals hunted from the surrounding areas were transported. There were species that outsiders could not specifically identify, which would also be brought here. Just in case someone discovered it was a rare beast and could sell it for a fortune, would that not completely change their life?
Boss Vance had encountered these crabs before. They came in all shapes and colors, some were edible, others were not. But primarily, many people felt this species was a bit fishy-smelling, and the meat fluctuated between bitter and sweet, making them not particularly delicious. Later on, the folks at The Moon's Fork even classified this type of creature as a non-purchasable item, or they would only buy them at extremely poor prices.
They were mostly brought back to be ground up into feed for domestic livestock.
