Cooking the Gem of the Pacific Northwest: Red Rock Crab - Deep Dive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2020
- Red Rock crabs are considered a byproduct catch of the more popular Dungeness crab off the coast of Portland, Oregon. But just because their meat is harder to get at, doesn’t mean they aren’t delicious. Chef Jacob Harth shows us the potential of the smaller, untouched crop of Red Rock crabs, and also makes Dungeness crab tartlets.

Crabs: I'm an unpopular, differently named, uneconomical, harder to harvest type of crab.
Jacob Hearth: This is a one of a kind exotic ingredient.
Rock crab is awesome, I catch and use it all the time. Next up purple urchin? Or monkeyface prickleback? Keep it going
Outdoor Chef Life ayyyy what’s up Taku
Lol! I read the comment before I read the name and at first I was like... "Wow, this dude must watch a lot of Outdoor Chef Life!" 😂 What's up Taku?! 🤙🏼
Hello Taku show them how it’s done.
Hey I know you. What's up chef. I liked your urchine videos although I wouldn't try em myself. And I liked the mussles.
Hahaha...my reaction? I know a guy in SF that catches red rock crab!🤯
"It's very hard to crack"
*Cracks immediately
I think he was more saying "it's difficult to crack without damaging the meat"
I mean idk if you’ve ever tried to track a rock crab. It is a million times harder that dungee or blubcrab and it shatters
He made it look easy because he probably cracks dozens each day when prepping for service.
Tying asparagus in a tight bundle without snapping any of the stocks is very hard but I can do it instantly because I worked at a farmer's market for 6 years.
Everything is exotic for these guys
Oh ma gawd your name is like so exotic yah
Esp you :) hahaha
I wonder if they find sand fleas exotic
Exotic pie crust
@Bigavel I bet you are fun at parties
EPIC......is a great word for all that and all you guys!!!
Caught a couple of those off the pier...made the best crab louie ever.
Red rock crab is absolutely delicious...we used to catch buckets of em all the time
I am lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest so in my younger days was able to catch these on a regular basis. I much prefer them to Dungeness. Actually in flavor it is better than snow, king or even blue. Now that I am an invalid I can't go out after them so wish they were available commercially because I really do miss them!
Perhaps you could find someone younger and outdoorsy and simply pay them to get you some?
I'd give for free
I’m from Maryland and in a few months it’ll be crab season. I’ve never had seafood from the Pacific Northwest but it looks delicious 😋
Sorry man bluecrab is nothing compared to dungese
I grew up on the Sonoma coast in California, dungeness, abalone, and monkey faced eel were staples at family gatherings. Having also lived in the south and on the east coast, the crabs there just taste bland in comparison, they lack the rich, sweet flavor of the dungese.
That being said, I think the monkey faced eel is the best kept secret. Easy to catch from the shore, easy to clean, and they have a delicate almost fluffy texture.
Rich W I always thought the blue crabs had a slight sweetness to them but I haven’t tried any other crabs to compare the flavors. Eel will have to be on my list of things to try :)
Terry Hsiao blasphemy
Everything said sounds like a question lol
Dude, looks friggin awesome.
These crabs are getting more action than me this Valentine's Day :\ ..
Thou shalt have thy will
Making comments like that I see why. Be blatant, but at least make it make sense. Sheesh!
Btw Happy Valentine's Day
Isnt Valentines day tomorrow?
I'm sure you can find someone to crack your claws and pull out your innards if you wanted.
Dude 🤣
But anyway, there's still days before Valentine's, so we don't know
I love catching and eating these guys!
I have purchased live "pacific rock crabs" many times a year (not this year... because of the Covid) from an Asian grocer in the LA area. I am very sure they were the same crabs as the ones in the video. But the chef said they are not commercially harvested.... that makes me wonder if the ones I got are in fact a close related but different species? By the way, the ones I got were absolutely delicious though the yield is about 1/2 of the Dungeness. I have basically switched from Dungeness.
4:05 size difference is like compared to Ash's crabby to Gary's crabby
We love red rock crabs especially their roe 🥰😋
Captain Penner is so awesome! I love the name of her ship!
Excellent process and well executed. Enjoyed watching every minute and would love to try all of these amazing selections of crab dishes in Oregon one day. I really liked how there was no waste and how the rare Red Rock crab was respected amongst the crew. Thank you for sharing!
Ok where was this filmed? Love the rain. Does it rain a lot here? Crabs are a bonus.
That looks so so freakng good
Is that some Pimente de Espellete to finish? That looks like an incredible bite.
Being a year round crab fisherman, that Dungeness crab was about the lowest grade crab you can get, white Dungeness crab mean it's soft and soft crab mean no meat. Great video though I'll give you that
True I normally wouldn’t keep a dungeons that has a softer shell. It means it just molted and will contain less meat. Better to leave it for next season
If these are considered low grades. What type of crabs are high grades? I love crabs and seafood
@@sotruem8 thats the point, low grade crabs sold at high grade prices. the red rock crab is a by-catch while they go for dungeoness in most fisheries, look at stone crabs, they are just another type of rock crab but they sell for so much more, by the way they are just slightly more sweeter than redrocks but more meat because of the size they can get to.
@@sotruem8 You want a hard shell crab. Crabs that have just molted, their shell is softer to the touch so less meat.
Okay now I’m craving crab for lunch.
Can't wait for the summer to come and enjoy a pile of blue bay crab
Hey Eater, why do you select music for your videos like Remy is in the kitchen?
Red rock crab is so underrated. They’re actually way sweeter than dungeness
Really? I heard they weren't that good...I've never had one
Dungeness is the true crab of the PNW
How do u like them waders... heard good things about high n dry
Head, feathers and guts style! lol I can see using a little roe to make a sauce but I'm over the crab butter slurpee. What I really want is to do is target them when they're soft for some spider roll action but I never ever caught a soft one. That being said I don't really target them and mainly harvest from the ocean side. Might have to go up to Netarts a bit more often and find out when they're molting.
Here in Nor Cal. there is no season on the rock crabs, the size limit is 4 inches. I think the limit is 30 or 35 per day? The season starts on the first weekend in November for Dungeness!! I haven't read the regs for this season yet? I like the Rockies but a lot of the people don't keep them so we ask them to toss them our way!
The butter I don't care for, it's a bit bitter.
The Reds are really easy to catch and not the target crab but my fishing partner and I like them! Can't wait!! I have all my snares made and ready!
I love this series since it highlights something I think is important. Utilize what's available and make it delicious.
In Northern California we have had our red rock impacted by the domoic acid. Love the flavor though.
Damn I’m hungry, also I can smell this video.
Awesome! I wanna move there
don't know if I love crabs but I love crabs
looks amazing. i'm sure it tastes amazing. but yeah ... that does look like a lot of work for just a bit of meat
Each tiny crab tart must cost $25
Damn that looks so good. I could eat 100 of those things.
Yes!!
And they’ll be extinct because of you
That tart looks delicious, and great story.
What is garam?
I go out crabbing and have caught Dungies and Rocks. I would say the flavor of the rock crab is better, but getting all the meat out is a real chore. A lot of work for a little bit. I throw them back now, unless I catch a really super-size one, but I have yet to get one of those! Watching the video, it looked like the mustard-yellow-colored hepatopancreas was being referred to as the "roe". Isn't the roe found attached underneath the female crabs' tails? I may have my cooking terms mixed up.
The roe (eggs) are orange when cooked. They start inside the crab located under the shell (and also in the center of the crab between the gills) like he showed in the video. The eggs will migrate outside the body. That’s my favorite part of the crab.
More more more more. I want more seafood!
Nice dish
AWESOME
QUESTION: where is the restaurant?
Mackerel Garum aka fish sauce now that is so cool.
I had a Rock crab at the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company on Stearns Wharf yesterday and it was great. The last time I was there I had the spider crab which also gets a bad rap and it too was fantastic. I was in Chicago earlier this week and ate at Shaw’s Crab House and on their menu they had Santa Barbara Stone Crab. I have live in California for 62 years and I have never heard of west coast stone crab. Has anyone ever heard of this?
Love Rock Crabs 🪨🦀😋
Okay first off, they were standing in the Port of Garibaldi, Or that goes into the TILLAMOOK Bay. Netarts Bay is about 20 minutes south.
It seems like a laborious work, but worth it.
Damn that area looks rainy af. Is it ever sunny there?
Never, even rains in summer 😂
Gordon Ramsey: WHERE IS THE CRAB SAUCE!?
Never eat anything sea foodie except for cod and prepackaged shrimps .....having lobsters is definitely on my bucket list also going on holiday that's not in the UK would be sound....
Red Rock crabs are by far the best crabs on the west coast. So much tastier
I love how he added $5 to that crab roe by saying garum..aka fish sauce
Correct me if I'm wrong, but garum is traditionally made with the fish guts rather than the whole fish. Asian fish sauce is made with whole anchovies, fish, krill I believe, right? Idk if his Mackerel garum was made with only the fish guts, though. I've seen a chef out of Minnesota make a sort of garum using lambs tongue, so.
That guy's 'upspeak' is off the charts.
Ugh...
@@toadwerx6063
Aye matey
That's tillamook bay not netarts at least in the video. Also all the juice and yellow stuff in the crab isn't recommended to be eaten due to toxins.
Its safe to eat in small quantities.
@@misterturkturkle I still dont eat mine when I crab.
@@codnation4779 you do you.
yes
He mentioned an ingredient made from mackerel, what was it called? Garam?
Garum, it's fish sauce
@@TheCheat_1337 hmm, ive never heard it called that.
The Ancient Roman fish sauce was called garum
COOL
The most PNW aspect of this is watching no one make any attempt to stay dry in the pissing rain. Captain without even her hood up, everyone else just with cotton hoodies. In the coastal pnw you're inevitably going to get soaked, you just need to make your peace with it and move on with life.
"it's pretty pissed off all the time."
lol, those things are docile compared to blue crabs.
Yeah those particular ones were pretty checked out. God help your bare feet if one gets loose in the boat fresh out of the trap.
You can catch Dungeness crab off the pier in Prince Rupert, if you’re willing to haul up 169 ft of wet rope & a crab trap.
Wow massive crabs 🦀🦀🦀🦀😳😳😳
Yummy
*Holy crab*
Nice crabs bro
rock crab isn’t sought after because of its taste & meat content in our area.
I love the Pacific Northwest
love that hammer lol
Yup, you take the Red Rock Crab, when all the Dungeness are gone
!
Gimme some of that... wow.
What is the name of your restaurant??????
What's really good is when people express themselves with the lowest "vocal fry" register of their voice as fast as possible, preferably so fast that the words kind of slur into one and there are no distinct consonants, it's so modern. I love the little packets of quickspeak with inordinate pauses.
Wow
do a new orleans crab boil
Bunk & McNulty like this.
Coconut crab are tasty too
I bet that tangy taste is traces of cadmium, mercury, zinc, arsenic, chromium..etc....you know all the yummy stuff.
these crabs are getting more action than me on valentine's day :(
Will Robinson wants his comment back.
S. D.\\ I am Will
Who the heck was catching those little ones those are throw backs
Lmao California been catching these red Rock crabs every season. Best way is make a soup out of it.
Excellent 🦀 is my favourite
Man my grandmother gave me a bunch of crap for bringing home a bunch of red rock crab but she grew up on dungeness in abundance in newport lol. I eat it all not picky
I remember eating them in 1984 for the first time. Less meat than Dungeness, but I prefer the taste. And aggressive little bastards!
This song gives me anxiety
Not many chefs are using crab roe in dishes, thumbs up for this dude.
Is no one gonna talk about how he cracked an egg with another egg at 6:30
In Thailand, its a common technic
No. Nothing to see here
*T I M E*
*F O R*
_C R A B_
Red rock crab meat is much more flavorful than dungeness. While the crab is smaller and tougher, I’ll take them every time.
betting that plate costs 25 bucks.
2:04
Hold up. You're telling me that little guy was regulation?
No size reg on red rocks in OR. At least for recreational fishing
Barnacles are no indication of crab age since they shed their shells as they grow.
Those are some small, baby rock crabs
"Most people don't like to eat this type of crab because it's harder to crack and extract meat from." - *10 minutes later* "locals like this type of crab because you can eat through a whole pile of them without very much work." Huh? Which one is it.
The yellow stuff inside the carapice is not roe. It's just digestive matter from what the crab eats.
Crabs carry their eggs, or roe, outside the body.
Crab life’s matter
i used to kill those crabs on runescape waaaay back
bagel bites? nah fool, crab bites
I’m glad there’s not as many people interested in targeting the rock crabs… more for me lol.
It looks painful to process the meat.
What!
