Eating Coconut Crab (Uga) For Lunch! Part 1 of 2.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лис 2021
- Uga or coconut crabs are considered a delicacy as it is not easily available for anyone to get anytime they want. It's exotic taste adds on to that reputation as well.
The uga has been banned from being exported or sent out of Niue for a few years now. A change that most locals welcome, but a disappointing one for Niueans abroad.
The change has seen a healthy number of big sized ugas consumed locally rather than saving them for export.
Here on Niue Island, the uga or coconut crabs are not on the verge of extinction or considered as on the endangered species list.
We do have our own ways of managing and harvesting our coconut crabs sustainably so that there will be enough and continue to be enough for our future generations, just like how it has been preserved for us by our ancestors.
In this video you can see us dismantling and enjoy eating a coconut crab or uga in our backyard. Uga definitely is something you have to try if you haven't had it yet.
You can also check out our other videos where we practiced handling coconut crabs and hunting them at night.

Hi Baby Rob & Shanta 💕
I was on a two month vacation in American Samoa back in 2017 and on the small island of Olosega got to trap and catch coconut crab (U'u) pronounced with a soft "Hoo-ooo" with a local.. To make a long story short if any of you ever get a chance to eat coconut crab the oil stored in the tail sack is unbelievably rich! You dip the meat in it like a butter sauce that tastes like coco oil. Be very careful not to overdo it though because the oil is, well, how do I put it? powerful! The U'u will have its revenge! By the way in Samoan language they call the small land hermit crabs "Uga". Polynesian language have many similar words.
What are you dipping the crab with? In the Philippines we dip our crab in a vinegar sauce ✌🏾
The best part of the uga I love eating is the head. I'd eat everything inside there. I'd been told many times, do not eat the black part. I never listened. My logic was Uga travelled so far from Niue to NZ once upon a time.
Llllllllll lll l
No lll
He Papaka he tino pai
Ok pihia tau gahua ha mua lol yum!!! Koe faga!!!
PRAY before eating😂😂
I didn't know you could eat these types of Crab's
Best living
I have heard that the reason Amelia Earhart was never found is because the coconut crabs ate her body.
