  • 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.

    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!

      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.

    • @shariceglover1023

    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.

    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.

  • @outdoorfreedom9778

    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 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.

    • @ConstantlyRepeatingMyself
      @ConstantlyRepeatingMyself Рік тому +1

      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.

      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.
