First Crab Picking for Agriculture Minister Rainer - Agriculture Minister Alois Rainer Learns Crab Picking in Büsum

Federal Minister of Agriculture Alois Rainer recently visited Büsum, where he engaged with local crab fishermen and attempted to pick crabs for the first time. The visit provided an insight into the workings of the local fishing industry.

Rainer, who is known for his enthusiasm for seafood, began his crab-picking experience with some initial struggles. However, with the patient guidance of Schleswig-Holstein colleague Werner Schwarz, he soon mastered the technique. The Crabpicker, a device operated by Crabpicker GmbH in Büsum, proved invaluable in assisting Rainer's learning process.

One key tip Rainer picked up was the importance of turning crabs at the second joint for efficient picking. This simple yet crucial step ensures that the crabs are properly prepared for cooking and consumption.

Alois Rainer's visit to Büsum not only allowed him to gain firsthand experience in the crab-picking process but also provided an opportunity for him to connect with the local fishermen. His newfound knowledge and appreciation for their work will undoubtedly inform his future policies. Rainer left Büsum looking forward to enjoying a delicious crab sandwich, a testament to his enthusiasm for the region's seafood.
