I go crabbing as often as possible. Living in Houston, and not but 50 miles away from the coast makes for some of the freshest crabs from water to table. Nice video keep them coming.
I'm always trying to reinvent the wheel, so I used split pigs feet in a ring basket today in South Carolina Carolina and pulled up blues all day long. When the feet started to lose their potency from being in the water a few hours, I cut open the bellies of a few mullet I was using for hook-bait and tied them to the feet and reignited the flame! They devoured the mullet quickly, but it got a few more in the cooler before I went to fill the pot with water!
Top Jimmy where in SC? I’m in Myrtle beach
Great video ! I live in Texas and only 5 min from the beach and have yet to go crabbing !! Great video btw, just subscribed !
Thank you, it’s a fun past time! And welcome aboard fellow beach Bum!
Now I want to go crabbing.. please make more catch/cooks vids. Thanks!
It was a lot of fun! There will be more to come for sure!!
Love blue crabs. Do about a dozen a week and never get tired of them, wife laughs at me sucking the meat out of the legs, but love them.
Man it is fun to go after em with nets! Last Sept we bagged a bucket full (we were here on vacation but have since moved down here) and one pinched the hell out of my 16 year old son, it was hilarious. He had a little cut but it was still funny XD.
On a side note I wish they had not paved and renamed the fishing beach/no name road, would love to be able to take my jeep all the way down to the sand.
Awesome looking meal right there! The kind that makes me eat to a bellyache.
Good call on cooking them right away. People need to know how important it is to cook crab immediately or else they will go bad!
They sure did turn out very good cooking them that way!
They only go bad if they die. My buddies keep them alive for 2 days in a brown bag in the fridge. I don't have that option but I can keep 4 dozen alive in a igloo cooler for over 2 days quite easily. Yes you'll have a bit of dead loss but most die from being lights, large males crush the shells of the smaller crabs or fighting with other large males. How do think fish markets keep them alive for days. In a wooden crate that holds a bushel with a damp burlap sack over them and in a cooler over night.
his looked dead in the water in his cooler cant keep them in water like that they die
@@jonathank5289 We crab in Ft. Morgan and I cook right away out of the crab trap. I am terrified they will die and ruin. If you are keeping them in a cooler with ice how do you know if any of them die?
Unique way to catch crabs.
you should try Old Bay seasoning to your crabs and rather that totally submerging them put a brick or something in the water the get your basket off of the bottom and steam the crabs rather than boiling them. My wife is from Maryland and she is a crab eating machine! We go to Joe Patti's in Pensacola every time we're down that way. If they have them you can get them for $15 per dozen. We'' get several dozen and she will re-steam them with the Old Bay seasoning. She makes the best crab cakes!Stay Bummy!!
If you dig a hole next to your plants clean them into it ,there is no smell . AND about a month later your plants will love you
You added music, awesome!
Thanks I'm making a gumbo in a couple days for Thanksgiving. Was not sure how to keep crabs until Wed at noon . I will cook for only 6-7min and put on ice.
Looks like fun.
It is!
You threw away the mustard?? That's one of the best parts
I don't think I ever kept crabs more than 12 hrs.😊Good eats
Great video! That is point to point......VA crabber here:)
If blue crab are in, reds are near by. Biggest crab slaughter I ever witnessed was at the jetties in PCB. Huge bull reds just slaughtered the crabs by the thousands. For about 2 hrs on top. They got the crabs on top and just hammered them.
Any tips on keeping the blue crabs from getting mushy after freezing and thawing the crabs back out? In my experience, they tend to get mushy even when thawing out one time. Would really appreciate any tips!!!!!
What time of year did you find em?
Where is the old bay, and melted butter, garlic,salt etc....
What if I clean them the way you did but freeze them instead of cooking them ?
I tried that... BAD IDEA...they get mushy when you cook them.
I've tried that. Freeze them in batches soon after cleaning... They came out great.
You look like Jack Vale
No salt ? and only one spice packet for all of that water ? That's not enough spice to hide the taste of the rubber in the hose water. They would run your ass out of Louisiana for that.
So u cooked them fully and froze them...then cooked them again?
I've seen videos that say clean them and freeze for short term storage. And for long term storage freeze them whole not cleaned. This is the first video I've seen talking about cooking, freezing and then recooking.
I was wondering about that as well. When you cooked them the first time, I believe you just boiled them in water without seasoning. When you boiled them again it was with seasoning. How did you no over cook them? Just curious. I like the the thought, just trying to understand.
🦀🦀🦀🦀Very delicious with well cole beber 🍺😁😁👍💪
Also get some PVC pipe and tie a string line between them with drops like a trout line you will kill them
It is hard to beat a Maryland style steamed crab.

Save the seasoned encrusted top shell, occasionally dip a morsel into apple cider vinegar then touch the encrusted seasoning for a blend of flavors.
Southern crab boils are an alternate when steaming is not an option. Enjoy those crabs from any method.
What part of Alabama are you guys in?
those crabs looked dead in the water when he put the ice in ?
Get a cheap cast net to throw on the runners lol
nice music!
Good video but, and just my opinion, the clean water use is a bit much. The old fashion way saves more water and the crabs taste every bit as good.
You need some "Old Bay" to put on those blue crabs. What you guys did to them is sinfully. Look up steaming crabs Maryland style.
Jack vale
What is the name of Bech?
Fort Morgan
So that's what you look like with no hat. LOL
Things you can say to your crab but not your wife:

I thought there was a special way you had to pop the top off to keep it from being bad in some way, no?
He's washing away the Mustard :(
First time I ever ate crab a little asian lady said "eat yellow best part."
I said "ok, what is it?"
She said "its egg."
"But you said they were all males."
"Its male egg." 🤢🤢🤮
How do you tell if it’s a female?
clotwell The apron on males is pointier than the female’s wider flap like apron. If you saw them side by side you could tell the difference.
It wont shut up. 😂
It not good to freeze shell fish..
What do u mean "not good"?
Hose water in the pot ....hmmm , otherwise looks good
😴
Def not my way, plus it's a female, you don't keep females period
You need a crawfish boil video
You are the mud bug king!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing :-)
this is what not to do video
Ow my gwad why did u trow the best part?? The fat.. why????
Crabs don’t freeze well. Also, boil them before you clean them & ably cook the live ones. Worst infection I ever got was when I punctured my thumb on a live crab shell while cleaning them live. Almost lost my arm. They clean easier if they are cooked.
Hey, cooked, frozen, thawed, and reheated crab is better than no crab at all!
Crab can be frozen short term. 3 months is the limit & even that may be too long.
I live by the bridge going on to Perdido key. That is where you get the BIG Blues. Right in that little Lagoon. Lots of soft shell in the rushes there too.
I gotta get some chicken necks and visit helen woods and bay front road now subbed pawpaw
We used to tie a chicken neck to a string and pull the crab to the net. In tidewater VA we would get 30-40 for crab boil and it was fantastic. Never tried to freeze crab though. Great fun video!
I thought I'd clicked on an AnglerUp video when I saw that hair do. Now just start playing with that drag like you are scratching some records and you'll be selling homes to retired northerners in no time.
Great videos, stayed in gulf shores and did a lot of little lagoon fishing. I did not have much luck. Any advice to fishing in that area?
Pick up a can of Old Bay and use the directions on the can for steamed!!! You will need a two stage pot.
only seen him measure one ? sorry once you freeze them they are no longer fresh...just saying lol
You washed all the best stuff out of them the fat and eggs are the best
How far from the beach do you guys live?
I love blue crabs 💙😍😍 😍🤗❤️❤️❤️
Where is this crabbing attitude
Cooking Them Whole Is The Best Way
2:57 "CRAP(b)" lol get it
