If I was marooned on an island I'm certain I eould eat them. But I doubt there is much meat, even compared to blue crabs. And I love steamed blue crab. (Steamed over beer & vinegar, with rock salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning). Yum.
The smaller ghost crabs would probably make good bait for surf fishing.

As Lars said theirs no meat.
Usually hunting them is just an activity to wear kids out at the end of the day.

Ghost crabs make good broth if you boil a bunch for awhile.

No way. They remind me of spiders! Yikes!

Spiders are high in protein. I've never tried eating ghost crabs. Reminds me of Tom Hanks in Castaway when he tries to eat that gross crab with orange slime in it.

You can eat ghost crabs but you have to remove the sheet first.

There is a new place in Inlet Beach called Ghost Crab Pizza - do they put ghost crab on their pizza?

No, there's no point. There is little to no meat in them.
