Even with eating the claws I could never pick all that meat and not eat it, you deserve two thumbs up for that.
It was difficult. Claws helped get me through.
Watching captain CJ pick crabs and talk about crab eating appreciation is like watching Mozart play a piano and talk about musical appreciation. The maestro in his element.
Man I'm humbled by your comment. A little over the top but Ill take it.
Thank again for this content. I love learning the ins and outs. I know for me, I always had football or deer hunting in the fall. I’m going to try to crab a little this fall if I can keep my focus.
Enjoy the rest of your season!
Best time of the year.
I can’t believe you don’t have more than 100k subscribers yet!
We appreciate the compliment!
Thanks. We got a ways to go. Spread the word.
At $185 per dozen that's a little over $15 per crab anyone paying that much for a hard crab should probably go to the nearest mental health care facility ASAP because you gotta be crazy
Or rich.
You can’t put a price on the family time spent picking and eating jumbos
@@kevinwhite9937 then consider investing in a dipnet ball of twine and some chicken necks
Or move to the Gulf Coast. Same crab. 1/10 the price. Most all the crab sold in Maryland comes from the Gulf Coazt.
Great video.
South Carolina 🦀 is Good but you make 🦀 taste good" I have got to get me some JO' seasoning and cook some.
Thank you captain CJ..
If you go to the J.O. website. They can ship it to you. Might be a place down there that sells it.
Answer is buy #1 standard bushels! Let the middle man pull out the jumbos and sell them on the side if he wants; 6-7” hard crabs are the ideal mix of size and price point. Or, get to work and catch some jumbos yourself!
this right here!
I agree. Standard number ones here are 5.5 to 6.5. XL are 6.5 to 7 and sold by the doz.
Man those look good. Makes my mouth water. I can almost smell the crab seasoning.
Looks great 👍
Good stuff. Totally agree that big lights are super easy picking and certainly just as fun to catch. That said, won’t here me complaining about a heavy hard jumbo. Thanks
…hear…
I hear ya and glad your here. Haha.
Are you talking about a crab or something else???
No wonder our Texas crabbers send their #1 Jimmys to Balmore !
Ahh, so cute, get to work lol those crabs looked amazing, mmmmm 👍🙏❤️😎🦀
They were kid approved
LOL1 All the crabs during the colder months up there come from Florida and Loiusiana. We got the same yellow juice and orange eggs in the females. I grew up in Maryland and New Jersey so I know crabbing. LOL!
Yeah our season closes Nov 30 this year. Doesn't stop people from wanting them.
I've had crabs from long Island, south shore. North and South Carolina and of course Chesapeake bay, early season by far south Carolina, the mustard is like a sweet mustardly custard, late season of course the Chesapeake,
Interesting. I hope to get to try other places crabs. Georgia's are good.
Great video. Let’s see your crab cake recipe
Kids always eat it before I can make any.
Well it's not really about the price per pound. Everyone gathers around, drinks, laughs, it's about the experience of eating crabs that makes it worth it. The smiles per dollar. If I just want to eat crab meat I'm buying a couple tubs of it and making cakes lol. But if you want to bring everyone to the table for a memorable time you have to get whole crabs! Some of my best family memories are at the river eating crabs and dad making his homemade peach ice cream. Tastes just like the peach milkshake at Chick-fil-A. I need to get him to show me how to make it so I can share that experience with my kids.
We eat ours mosty from the Potomac River in Virginia and really don't see alot of the yellow mustard like years ago....
Interesting. Seems like the lighter crabs and fresher water crabs are more green mustard.
Barnegat Bay and Chesapeake crab are the same. It's the way they are seasoned and cooked. I love them both. CJ my mouth is watering. I have to admit you guys got the bigger ones
Never had them from up there. Gonna add it to my road trip.
Mouth is watering
Can you do a quick video on how to pick the meat out ?
Yeah good idea
Conway SC I got 7+" dozen steamed for 30 bucks last weekend.. mustard was on point..
That's a steal.
@@FVMissPaula MD style Jo and only bay to go... Sent pictures to the relatives in MD.. Gotta Double check down here in SC for steamed not boiled..
Buy the best crabs that you can afford and ENJOY!!👍🦀
Well said
Usually heavy jumbos will produce 3/4of a pound including the claws most people only eat 3or 4 jumbos because they have alot of meat .I enjoy the legs when they are that big and full.
Claws are alot of meat.
@@FVMissPaula Not necessarily
What irks me is how they deceptively package blue swimming crab from Indonesia as blue claw crab and the meat is still $50 a pound. I am on Long Island NY and they are getting $10.99 for regular size livies. I bought six and made the best crab gravy. It was sooo sweeet. Thats waaay better than $70 lb for king crab. Right now you cant hardly find them anyway because the grounds off Alaska are closed.
Yeah overseas crabmeat is dirt cheap here and it's messing up our markets. People just look at the price sadly.
I live in the North of the UK 🇬🇧 and we can't get these crabs here. We get the brown edible crab here , caught locally. Very tasty but also expensive. I am so jealous.
Those are hardest videos to watch I'm hungry
I could get a dozen jumbos here in Florida for about 50-60 from a local crabber and a bushel of mixed for 75😊from a different crabber
Can't beat those prices.
I was just in Florida and jumbo sold for 11.99 per pound.
Can you do a comparison of Small- Jumbo Pickeled Eel Feets for me Captain? LOVE your Channel. Crabby Daddy out. :)
No there all sold out.
@@FVMissPaula Guess we gonna have to try Chicken Lips then. Have a Great Day my friend.
Where did you get the pot insert and they steam on!?…
Most of those #1 jimmys came from Galveston Bay, Texas. We have so many crab we sell off the big one for rediculous prices.
I use a knife just like this Captn. does to shuck my crab. I don't pick crab
What he's not telling you is that these days big crab in Maryland are imported from Texas and LA.
Now I admit the biggest crab probably exported, I buy beautiful crab retail here around Galveston for $4 a pound and I get to pick my own. Yet I know a friend when my own traps run dry I can get a dozen #1 jimmys for 20 bucks.
As I watch the video these prices seem insane.
Best crab I’ve had was in Beijing China they are the masters cooking seafood
I grew up eating the crabs whole. I now eat them the Delaware way and pre-clean them first then steam them. Don't want to eat the poop. (Mustard)
It's actually the organ that processes all the nasty stuff. Not much better but it tastes good.
I’ll take any size at this point. They looked delicious
They were both real good.
Just outside Austin Texas picked up Dozen 7s 8s for $35.00 Live males ...Korean Market , huge seafood market ! Texas Gulf Crabs are hard and not as sweet . Steamed beer cider JO-2
Man that's cheap.
@@FVMissPaula They send them up Maryland ..
Capt. CJ picking those crabs man makes me thirsty…….
What’s a lb of jumbo lump or lumb crab meat cost out there?
Out here it’s like $38-$40 a lb of lump crab meat and it’s not even from Maryland so type pasteurized crab meat.
Thanks -Joe
We are over run now with cheap Venezuelan meat. I think the MD is around 35.
why didn't you weigh the claw meat also ? not a true comparison imo. great crabs 🦀
Not all crabs have both claws. Figured it was a standard measurement.
MD is the best steamed in Old Bay!
Would like to watch your getting started as a crabber videos.. what are they titled?
The first couple video's. Episode 1 talks about how I got started. I was also in the documentary Beautiful Swimmers Revisited. It's on UA-cam.
@@FVMissPaula thank you.. keep up the follies with Luke throw a rookie sign in his pots🤣
In North Carolina where I'm at they sell jumbos for 7.95 a pound but you didn't give me weight before you cooked them.
The really big crabs are around a lb.
Where do I order the J O seasoning? I'm in South Carolina.
They have a website
Thank you!
Do you sell crabs to just anyone or just commercial
I got a few crabs now for sale retail. Live only
Even as a Texan I steam my crab. Better than boiling water logges crab meat.
I can't find JOs in NC.
You can order some off of there website
I’m from Maryland people come here for crabs we are the best
You left off Texas gulf coast Blue Crabs are the best
Like I told Deer meat. You fell down and bumped your head.
@@FVMissPaula I thought the whole idea behind a channel is to increase subscribers, maybe I am wrong
I thought you were saying Texas were the best. Just messing with ya.
Md steamed crabs are the best I've seen people in other states take the shell off wash out the insides before they boil them I myself will never fix crabs that way
To each his own but Steamed are the best for sure.
@@FVMissPaula the best
I’ll stick to the jumbo crabs!!!!
Don't blame ya
Although I prefer picking jumbos instead of a million smalls…for the money…it just not worth it.
There definitely not cheap
$95 a dozen last time I got them …. Luckily it was buy a dozen get a dozen free
Good price for 2 doz.
Nothing like the Jumbo,s you will get another pound just from the claws on a dozen. Get whatever you can.
Yeah if they have nice claws no doubt.
Throw some crab beard oil in and I will buy jumbos !
Somebody was watching the Live. Haha.
20 min to steam ? Seem overcooked
You know crabs don't produce mustard!😂😂.. everyone should know what they are eating...yes n New Orleans is the best, I'm representing Delaware
If it looks like mustard and taste like.... we'll not really sure what it taste like but its good.
Now how are you getting a good weight if you're eating them 😊 and your killing me
Them rusted crab they die fast
Jumbos are only worth it if you're catching them yourself, IMO.
I think if you were in a picking house in Cristfield you'd be fired
It's Crisfield. If you were in a Spelling contest we'd be in the same boat. Haha.
KINDA HARD TO WEIGH THEM IF YOU ARE EATING THEM DORK..LOL
Just making sure they were good. Haha
this is torture watching you eat crabs
Once again all blue crabs eventually have yellow mustard no matter in the south on the east coast or up North
I can't pick nothing without eating some of it also. okay most of it.
facts say buy local and buy before it goes on the truck you'll pay 50% less
I don't care where you are or what you're buying.
buy local 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦞🦞🦞🦞 I had to throw the lobster emoji in you can understand that one
No doubt. Local is the way to go.
