If you are going to eat it all, don't forget the yellow stuff, the mustard. It is delicious. Use a smsll spoon or knife to get it out of the points of the top shell. Use it along with the Old Bay as a dip, yum.
dbag0584 It is used for energy storage and the secretion of digestive enzymes. Some people consider this a delicacy, but if it is from crabs taken from polluted areas, it may contain contaminants such as PCBs or heavy metals. In my culture and others as well, the crab butter is a delicious delicacy. It's not harmful.
i live in Vietnam, crab is cheap and very delicious here, just about $5 for a crab 300gr - 400gr. I usually eat them but today i want to see how people at another place eat crab because i still think i eat them wrong :D And now i see i eat them right all the time hahahahaha Sorry for my bad English :D
Good video. Just moved to Maryland and was curious about eating blue crabs. Why so many negative comments. Fish use to be sold wrapped in newspaper and ice. Thanks for the video dude.
d W Thanks DW. That is the nature of the internet. People like to voice their opinion. The newspaper won't hurt you a bit, you are putting the crabs on the newspaper, then cracking and eating. You have to get some since you just moved to MD.
I hate when I'm eating crab next to someone else eating crab and they throwaways so much crab just because they think it's too much trouble. Thanks for posting this video to show people that it's actually not that hard.
Nice Video. I too am a Crab Eater. I live in Florida; I order my Crabs from Louisiana. I enjoy your video; watch it often (for entertainment/reminder) before I place my Crab Order. Thanks!
That's the way you eat crabs! My family boils ours crabs and put sausage, corn, potatoes, onion, bell peppers and old bay crab seasoning! You talking about good eating! ☺
I love your video , and old bay is awesome, I love blue crabs. I live in Pensacola Florida and we eat blue crabs. I have a recipe for crab jambalaya, it comes from a Dear Lady that I called Granny Goldie. No sausage, I learned from her but I can't make it like She did, Her and her Husband were another set of Grandparents to me. Thanks for sharing.
I cannot believe that every, EVERY, video I watch from Maryland folks, Florida folks, Louisiana, South Carolina, wherever, never eat the crab guts, mustard, even down to squeezing the stomach for juice. YOU ARE MISSING SO MUCH FLAVOR. SOME PEOPLE . . . DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MISSING.
As a person of South Asian descent, we tend to clean the crabs before we cook them. I can’t imagine cooking the crab with its lungs and guts. Also, you’ve got to get all the meat from the legs by biting and chewing it out. Also, there is a lot of good stuff on the ceiling/roof inside of the shell/head. Also, the yellow stuff (I believe they are eggs) are delicious. I liked your video, and it was interesting to see how differently locals here eat blue crabs.
number one dont use heavy seasoning if you have good fresh crab that way u get to know what crab taste like. also, on good crabs the yellow and orange goo is the eggs so they are very tasty and rich but on bad crabs they can be bitter and nasty so depending on the season and the crab.
lol that is good eating. who knew there was a science to eating crabs? i usually just go for the legs & neglect the body but now i know theres more to it. love the video :)
I dip my meat in Old Bay too so I can control the amount of seasoning. He is the first person I have seen do that other me. Most people just sprinkle it on top.
I cook my blue claw crabs in beer ( old E or country club) of course the oldbay crab season , butter and garlic delicious that's the first time I seen somebody deep the crab in oldbay seasoning on the newspaper usually you have bowl with your butter and garlic or the juice from the crab pot put to each its own everybody cooks crabs different I put my crabs in the pot with our cleaning them but most people clean them first than cook them its make a the flavor better enjoy
Thank you for posting this video. Some friends and I are planning on getting some crabs next weekend to try for the first time. We wanted to learn how to break them to eat. Now to look for an article on choosing the male or the female. Thanks again.
I live on the Jersey Shore and crab off my boat 4 times a week. If you are going to cook crabs in their shell don't bother with all the old bay in the water it's a waste of money. The REAL way to cook crabs at home is to pull that top shell off before you put them in the water with your spice ( i de-shell at the dock after shocking the crabs in an ice bath). Also don't dip in old bay the sweet crab meat is over powered by that garbage. Old bay goes in the water. finally get some melted butter. Oh and lastly if you crack the inner shell by the swimmer you'll get a much better bite. nice video though.
Long time fisherman. I dont torture anything whether Im using it as bait or dinner. if the crab is still alive Im not ripping his shell off. and the last guy I caught smacking an eel on the side of the boat to "knock it out a little so it doesn't knot up my line" had to bite the head off with his mouth.
Lol leave the back legs on for when you open it up for all the meat inside .. also don’t put a paper towel in middle of crab lol the yellow stuff is good just slurp it up .. also dip crab meat In butter not in more obay .. already have it on the outter shell to lick off when you want some.
What I do is that I open the shell, remove the gills, then crack the crab in two. That is when I start taking off the legs! Easy to get the meat from the crab.
idk why but i always laugh when you say"mmm this is good"LOL......btw thx learned a lot but hopefully i remember it because my mama really hates getting crabs...shes really not like she used to be i mean she used to make gumbo with crabs in it now she doesnt and we used to eat crabs and crawfish together now we dont.....but anyways thx i wish i could help you eat those
I hear what y'all sayin'. I certainly wouldn't wear a bib while eating crab at the crib, but we all know how messy crab eatin' can get if you doin' it right. If I'm out, and dressed up fresh and clean, I'm not about to mess up my clothes. So then, yes I'm gonna' wear that bib no matter if it looks corny or not. PEEECE!
Great video (I saw several others before I found yours, and I think you did the best job of explaining)! I thought it was funny how, in the comments, people criticized you, but offer no video of their own. I do have a question... what is "Old Bay"?
interesting. but when you people eat the crabs? is it like a dinner food for the family, sitting around the table with newspapers. or its kinda social food, eating it with friends for social occasions. we have kinda similar food, dried fish. but its usually eaten in summer evenings, with friends and good drink
youre not supposed to eat the yellow stuff as it causes cancer. it is loaded with PCBs as it is basically the crabs liver, it filters toxins and poisons out of the blood
He pulls the legs off so that now he HAS to use a knife to get the shell off. A danger to children. You never have to flip the crab over and remove the apron. Leaving the legs on, you grab all the legs in one hand, the shell with your other hand, and rip the shell off. Put the knife back in the drawer.
I have had a bunch of people yell at me about this. I know, but just not for me. Sorry, don't know how to teach people to eat that when I don't really care for it. Do everything I said but ignore the part about the mustard :-)
Glad you showed cleaning the legs. Makes me mad when they are just thrown away. Just break at knuckles not before the knuckles. You get meat almost every time.
It's a solid instructional video as far as picking meat from the crab goes, but you can just off handedly say to wipe the mustard out of the crab. You may not like it, but someone who has never eaten a crab could watch this and not think its edible. At least address that some people find it delicious.
If you are going to eat it all, don't forget the yellow stuff, the mustard. It is delicious. Use a smsll spoon or knife to get it out of the points of the top shell. Use it along with the Old Bay as a dip, yum.
+jim scharfe - Your hardcore Jim. You probably save that stuff and put it on your eggs the next morning.
I totally said the same thing in my comment- no one knows about the meat in the points!
That "yellow stuff" is good eating. Delicious.
Finally someone who agrees. It's the best part In my opinion.
***** You have no clue what you're talking about.
***** The amount of ignorance this guy has
dbag0584 People call it the crab fat or crab butter. It isn't shit.

Hope you enjoyed them. Maryland crabs have been pretty good so far this summer.

And the crab mustard is so good
+junethug29 - I know, but not everyone loves it. Can't please everyone. More for you I guess.
never thaught anybody would post a video about how to eat a perticular kind of food , but hey ! i really liked it
That yellow stuff is a delicacy
Zheyu Zhang,I love dipping the meat in it. yum.
demetri kavoukas you eat pork which feeds primary on shit you fuck tard
demetri kavoukas YEEEEEHAOOO

I don’t eat because I don’t like the taste.

I dont think people think of tutorials when the crab is on the table🤣🤣❤❤🙏 but good job
Used to eat them like that.
Until I realized an easier way.
Do the lollipop method. 💯
I always wondered how folks eat crab. I must be brave and give this a try. It is worth the effort. Thank you for sharing this video.

Cool vid dude !
I dip my meat in Old Bay too so I can control the amount of seasoning. He is the first person I have seen do that other me. Most people just sprinkle it on top.
the yellow stuff is crab mustard, and taste really good dipping the meat in it. I miss Chesapeake Blue Crabs. And scrapple too.

Who has the best deals need to get me some sent to detroit
I eat it with mustard mayo on fresh bread and butter. That's my fave way to devour crab.
Missed the best part. The mustard!
Facts .. I cringed when he used a paper towel in middle of the crab lol
@@straightbettingislife9407 right! this dude hurt my soul

Always choose male crabs.

One question!... What was that powder you ate the crab meat with?
+Amir Salehi Old Bay! This is the best stuff on the planet. Can't eat crabs without this and your tatsy beverage:-)
+Tim Marose Thanks for reply. :) . I stay in Malaysia. hope I can find it here as well.
+Amir Salehi Old comment, but you can only get it in Maryland.
Search Amazon. You can find it on there.
Try JO Seasoning too. Made in Baltimore Maryland
I stop watching when you took a towel to the best part of the crab...the mustard!!!
right? slurp that shit
Freak nut
+Brandon Falco ???? what???? lmao
ravenfan1606 this guy doesn't now how to eat crab
henlo ugly
go eat a MUSTARD ugly
Nice crabs. Nice shirt, too!! GO BLUE!!!!
Yummy....but can we eat the yellow stuff? Just wondering?
You can eat it, but most people do not. I personally do not. Won't hurt you though.
Ignore that. Majority of people eat the yellow stuff. It taste great.
***** I been eating it since I was young in. It depends on who teach you how to eat crabs
I've always said that's too much work for such a small reward. Kinda like my job 😁
Subtitle covering pretty much the whole thing
thank you very much my friend you very helped to me
Thanks a lot for the video. It was very informative.
Crab took revenge and is now holding me hostage!
The mustard is the best part!

Yep! That guy was doing it ass-backwards. And to throw away the caviar shows how insane he is.
And another thing. The way he rips off the shell might work for a male but not for a female if she has any fingernails.
idk why but i always laugh when you say"mmm this is good"LOL......btw thx learned a lot but hopefully i remember it because my mama really hates getting crabs...shes really not like she used to be i mean she used to make gumbo with crabs in it now she doesnt and we used to eat crabs and crawfish together now we dont.....but anyways thx i wish i could help you eat those
+Jayme Montgomery - MMMMMM that is good!
Jay, that is my crab eating shirt. You have to a shirt just for crabs.
Good
I agree

old bay is a seasoning blend that is used a lot for seafood....it's kind of salty and spicy
Old Bay or JO Seasoning is great too.
Looks delicious.. way too much work for me.. thanks for showing us
Happy 2020 ! Yummo
Dude....Teach me how to do other stuff. This was awesome.

TheTripstraps - Very social thing. Nothing better than sitting around with friends eating crabs.
Yes. It’s a social meal. Crabs and beverages with sides of coleslaw for something cool and sweet
Straight to the point. I screwed the first time but after watching this, I think I'll do a better job next time. Thanks mon!!!
i love crabs!
Anyone here hungry for crab?
so good
yummy! im looking forward to see a video of you eating a king crab :)

That's my kind of crab eating.
This might sound gross, but depending how hunger I am, I eat everything.
Oh no..... Why do I watch this video before go to sleep. I get hungry
It's really good with vinegar
Rules of eating crab left 😂 I died
lmaooooooo when he hit the leg with the mallet i lost it
Why?
@@carryfreak5059 this was a 3 year old comment for one, but it was just unexpected
Ur supposed to eat the yellow stuff also known as mustard... Its good eating too

They were all monsters. They were Jumbos. But I get your point. :-)
Yeah it was a joke. Made me laugh when you said it. 10 months later late reply. I'm watching it again
Im just here to see this man use a knife and hammer on a blue crab. Hilarious.

+Jarris2 thanks Man!
You should try the eyes, good meat
Look in Georgia we eat everything the yellow stuff the orange stuff and we suck the juice out the lungs it's all good eating
I'm a expert now
*cringes*
you dont pull off the legs before you open the body, authentic marylander here
warm is prob why it doesn't come right out - let it chill
thank you, i was lost
Why not steam the crabs in Old Bay?
You can steam in Old Bay Ron, but why not add a little extra to make the crabs even better?
Ron Byrd Crabs are steamed in beer, vinegar and Old bay.. then dipped in butter or vinegar and also old bay....
Title should be what not to do when eat a crab lol
Glad you showed cleaning the legs. Makes me mad when they are just thrown away. Just break at knuckles not before the knuckles. You get meat almost every time.
Some great meat in there. Glad you found and aren't wasting that good meat.
How hungry were you!? That's a lot of crabs for 1 person. I eat about 2-4 crabs.
+Joshua Couling - I usually eat about a dozen, depending on the size. Jumbo's are a different story.
+Tim Marose I eat about a dozen or more to myself now, but back in July I guess they filled me up easier.
“Hi how are ya? My name is Tim and I am a crap eater”
the first time i ate whole crab like that i messed up and ate one of the lungs thinking it was edible lol
Only do that once David, you won't do it a second time:-)
What happens if you eat crab lungs?
Dude, forget knife and mallet....use your teeth...that's the real way to enjoy the crabs...yum...
MultiSavetheplanet1 Until you have to go to the dentist for a chipped tooth:-). Next video I will remove the utensils.
Tim Marose been there, done that, Always use utensils!
Tim Marose Marylanders don't use mallets or crab bibs. We give them to people from out of state for souvenirs.
MultiSavetheplanet1 okay!!! He doesn't know any better.
Hell Yeah
It's a solid instructional video as far as picking meat from the crab goes, but you can just off handedly say to wipe the mustard out of the crab. You may not like it, but someone who has never eaten a crab could watch this and not think its edible. At least address that some people find it delicious.
Kopers30 - you are correct. I am learning from the video that a lot of people love that stuff. Many people do enjoy this. My bad!
Tim!!! Tim the tat man XD
