Ecuador Blue Crab Conservation
Esmeraldas is renowned for its famous dish known as “encocado,” a delectable blue crab coconut stew. According to Guevara, this dish holds significant cultural importance as it represents the unique culinary identity of the region. Along with blue crab and coconut, the dish incorporates annatto seed paste and a blend of coastal herbs such as chillangua, chirarán, and big leaf oregano. By promoting the preservation of traditional recipes and fostering a higher demand for blue crab, the community is encouraged to engage in sustainable harvesting practices to safeguard the crustacean and its mangrove habitat.
