Since they are cold-blooded, you can stick them in the freezer for a bit and it will calm them down/numb pain. For the snipping method, yeah, you wanna do it in a clean snip. Since this was his first, probably a learning experience.
The fact the shedding video linked to this is so funny to me, but that shit looks GOOD!!! I've never had soft shell crab, but I'd probably love it, considering how much I LOVE crab and other seafoods!
I love food of all kinds. Ty for taking em out before pain. Folks laugh at that, but it's crucial to respect the creature who's giving it's life. Recipe is solid.
@nathangregory9002dude where tf did the hostility come from? We ain’t all out here with the time or money to do what we want. Some of us have to work 60+hrs to survive and don’t have any extra. You need to drop your tone a bit with a random stranger that said something nice on a short that you were also watching…
@nathangregory9002 Little boy, I just retired after 30 yrs over the road trucking. I have been too busy working since age 12 to do everything I have wanted to do Why don't you go work for 53 years and maybe you too can have a life. And don't forget to also join the military for 7 years out of that time.
Idk why this is so funny to me as someone who’s been around the water and sea food my whole life. Soft shell crabs are incredible and they’re best served fried in my opinion
So jealous! Soft shell crab is one of my favorite foods, right next to fried oysters. Unfortunately after moving down south I don’t get to have these guys anymore. They just aren’t a thing here. I remember when I could go to the state fair and get two soft shells on a bun for $9! Hope I can visit Maryland while they’re still in season.
You look familiar like really familiar actually my mom and family use to buy crabs from a guy that looks identical to you lol random I know but there’s a golf course neighborhood in wicamico shores and some of the surroundings look like the location where we use to go buy them I apologize if I’m wrong or have you confused with someone else but I’ve watched all of your short videos and like your content keep ‘em coming.
I love soft shell crab, always has been. It is the only type of crab that I consider to be worth its price, since there is no waste, no hustle when eating.
Looks amazing! I've only had soft shell crabs at restaurants, usually in a sandwich. I'm sure it being straight off the pier, fresh as can be, has gotta add something special to it.
I used to get friend soft shell as a kid at this restaurant. It was served with two pieces of toast and I’d eat it like a sandwich. I went back recently 20 years later and tried it again… it grossed me tf out. It was soupy on the inside. It was dryer in my memory verse now , I bit it and water/oil shot out of it, made the bread soggy. It was like a sponge left in a fishing cooler, then soaked in grease.
hell yeah much love from MD (carroll county) and absolutely love the DCL shirt as well. my second home away from home. you’ve got yourself a supporter for life 😎
Never had this, but it seems kinda gross. Don't they have guts and stuff? I'm super curious to try em, and I'm not picky, but in my head it's kinda icky
Buffalo soft shell crab sandwiches are the best. Should make different fried crab with buffalo sauce out of all those hot sauces you’ve got. Your cholesterol will never be the same.
I don’t get the obsession with soft shell crabs. It’s like why would you want to eat the shell no matter how thin it is, it is still shell. It’s like crunchy plastic wet paper bag.
So I want to like soft shell crab so bad and I’ve tried it a hand full of times from a few different places and I’m not sure if they just weren’t fresh or not cooked right but it had a funky taste and I just haven’t been able to find some that taste good yet!
As far as I know, soft shell crab (just like any other seafood) really is best when caught fresh, and there are seasons for it, so if you ate some and they were off-season, more than likely you ate frozen soft-shell crab which might have affected the taste
a crab where i can eat the shell straight up? honestly, a dream comes true. i stay away from eating crab because i don't want to peel it, too much work for me
Ive been noticing this lately and always wondered if im just a late comer type of guy but why do you look to the side like someone is staring at you. Nothing wrong with it but just wondering whats catching your eyes because right now im starting to get really concerned about it.
Dam that looks good…fresh right out your back yard
I’m pretty fortunate
@@Bythewater we love you bro
“So it doesn’t feel any pain” as you take 3 cuts to finish it 😂 that crab was screaming internally for about 2 seconds

Better than being boiled alive
@jamesbts999 you mean the way where they literally die instantly on contact with water and it's the quickest?
Cope @@ronaldwhitman1377
@@ronaldwhitman1377they don't die instantly at all lmfao
They are awesome. Deep fried po boy is the way to go. But straight dusted and sautéed is bomb too.

"Money money money AAAAAAAHHHHHH"
love love soft shell crab in sushi. especially in hand rolls or sushi tacos since you can appreciate the entire crab
Amen
Good luck with the worms
@@jeffp565 they're usually cooked? battered and fried like in the video. why would I worry about worms
Damn Michael from GTA 5 is eating crab
Nah that’s Michael’s cousin Robert
He's lucky as hell to be able to catch his own seafood yards from his front door. Yum.

Respect the life that feeds you. Wonderfull
Looks good. Unfortunately, I have never been able to try them. Have another for me please! Oh and add a beer too, thanks
Will do!

I'm from Florida and fried Ss crab is a delicacy! Claws are my favorite part! Yummmmmmmy 😊
Guy: so the first cut you're gonna make is right behind the eyes so the crab won't feel any pain..

The best flour for cooking seafood is the ultra fine flour known as Wondra. It comes in canisters.
Looks great! I love soft shell crabs too.. from one Marylander to another CHEERS!
As an Asian yes I do know that it’s usually blue crabs which are the softshell crabs. They are very good😊

In Thailand, we make stir fry curry soft shell carp. You would love it.
crabs are so delicious but also so cute and funny. every time i eat one i feel very conflicted :(
You have to love catching your food off your pier. Oysters all the time and crab.. awesome.
Recommend Cantonese style: simple flour+salt, served with some fresh jalapeño slices. Sounds way too simple but it’s extremely tasty.
This is what I've been waiting for! Let the sauce rankings begins!
🤔🤔
Soft shells are undoubtedly my favorite food try doing a sushi roll with one! Also a huge favorite at my house are buffalo sauced soft shells.
How could you not love soft shell crab
I never had it before but I really wanted to try it but Deep fried!! 😋🤤
Had crabs once as a kid, was to scared to eat them now i want to try one so bad especially a soft shell
Nothing like a real New Orleans style Soft Shell Crab Po-Poy. ❤
I love soft shell crab, always has been. It is the only type of crab that I consider to be worth its price, since there is no waste, no hustle when eating.

"My ancestors are smiling upon me Imperial, can you say the same?"

Restaurant I used to work at we would take one cover it in cornstarch then put it in some tempura batter before frying it
Caught fresh and cooked yourself? Awesome!!
The fact that you catch your own food is what i aspire to do.❤❤❤
Love your videos brother keep it up. Want to try soft shell crab so bad.
Thanks!
hell yeah much love from MD (carroll county) and absolutely love the DCL shirt as well. my second home away from home. you’ve got yourself a supporter for life 😎
Some Louieisna or Zatarains fish fry is just great on softshells.
Have you tried those little chips that are fried mini crabs and its dried and dusted in seasoning so its like a crab chip
I love soft shell crab 🤩 I usually squeeze some lime and a little salt. Ooowwee it's good!!
North Carolina favorite right there
I love seafood 🤤😋
Bro that looked incredible!!
Soft shells are my favorite. Sooo good
Never had this, but it seems kinda gross. Don't they have guts and stuff? I'm super curious to try em, and I'm not picky, but in my head it's kinda icky
My local Japanese place does soft shell crab rolls. Best time of the year!
I gotta try that out! THX
I’ve never had one, super excited to try someday
Buffalo soft shell crab sandwiches are the best. Should make different fried crab with buffalo sauce out of all those hot sauces you’ve got. Your cholesterol will never be the same.
But people claim they dont have pain receptors😂 glad people are figuring out they actually do😅
Softshell is so good and less picking
Had a deep fried softdhell crab with Thai sweet chili sauce and it was amazing 😍
I LOVE soft shell crab! Omg gimme! 💯 💯 💯
We love soft shell crab 🦀 yum
You have the taste buds of an south East Asian person! Throw the jeow som sauce on it extra spicy
I ate a deep fried softshell crab sandwich, and it was pretty damn good
You’re not telling me anything new I’ve had plenty of soft shell crabs in my lifetime ❤
Nice!
I so want to try soft shell crabs now…. 🤤
Soft shell crabs are best with a light, LIGHT batter, and a quick deep fry! Dipping sauce of your choosing.
Deep fry with crust if it's a bit fishy. We usually eat it that way
Deep fried and dipped in gumbo, it's the best
It is good if you don't mind chewing on shell. Kinda like eating an entire shrimp with shell and tail
It pretty soft for me. You might not be getting good ones
“ local grocery store” = Food Lion 😂
great catch & cook boss! stay adventurous
Looks great
Allegedly if you deep fry the regular shell you can eat it with shucking..
Yes sir soft shell crabs sandwiches are awesome
This year? It’s been raining so much in jersey I haven’t got a chance to get out there yet. I’m jealous
Never tried one but always wanted to
You got my vote😊
I don’t get the obsession with soft shell crabs. It’s like why would you want to eat the shell no matter how thin it is, it is still shell. It’s like crunchy plastic wet paper bag.
I Love softshell crab
I love those things
I just ordered 3 dozen live. 👍 time to make fried spider sandwiches 🦀 🍞
Can I come over?
@@Bythewater anytime. Bring your hot sauce collection 😂
I love the legs

He's held at gunpoint and forced to eat crabs
See no pain, feel no pain
Love a good crab sandwich
Honestly better than asian crunchy crabs, im always scared i might puncher my gums when i eat them.
That would really hurt.
Best way to eat it in my opinion is making a badass sandwich with some good slaw
I always wondred what the green shit was in a crab and what it differs in taste
I wonder if I would be allergic to the shell? I can eat shrimp but if I eat too many attached tails I get itchy pink blotches for a few hours.
😋 🤤 yummmm
Those are amazing
not falling for this one LOL
🤷♂️
Always one of my fave sushi rolls
It's definitely an acquired texture taste. I mean,,people eat peanuts with the shells on and even shrimp with the shells on,but I prefer naked.😅
I always get a spider roll when i go out to sushi
Goes great on a po'boy!
Do you have a gluten free flour you could recommend ? Stomach cancer sucks
