Live Soft Shell Crab Sushi
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2021
- As you probably know, whole crabs in general are difficult to find in your everyday market. Live crabs are, of course, even harder to find. But I've struck gold, and it's even better than regular old live crabs. Today, we're making sushi from live soft shell crabs. Soft shell crabs are an absolute delicacy. You can eat virtually the entire crab, and it's one of the juiciest things you'll ever experience. They're typically Japanese blue crabs, oftentimes from Maryland. And when you wrap this all into a sushi roll, you get something truly special.
I want to take a moment here to also thank you all for 1.7 million. It's been such a fun journey and it is my hope that this is just the beginning. Let's keep making food together!

At his age...his ability to describe the experience of food...prepping...cooking eating...is a flat out gift. In a few years he'll be approaching Bourdain levels of articulation.

Ive only had fried baby soft shell crab from H Mart. I look forward to finding my first larger softshell and trying out this recipe. I LOVED THIS VIDEO ! It looks so delicious !
I have had LIVE softshell crabs. These are dead, cooked softshell crabs. Once cooked, it can't be classified as sushi. Should have said Americanized sushi.
Random fact: the California roll (rice outside, nori inside) was invented in the West by a Japanese chef. He wanted more westerners to have sushi, but they didn’t enjoy seeing nori, so he flipped the ingredients around and it became the California roll
Love this fun fact
already known it
@@tog_jian congratulations
Lol great big story anyone?
It was made in Canada which is cool and it was called California roll cuz calafonians love it
I appreciate chefs like this. Not only is he respectful of the animal he's cooking with but he is also willing to learn more about the culture of the food he's cooking but he still has fun and loves what he does! 💜

for anyone actually concerned, they don’t have big brains in their middle section, they just have a tiny one in the front and its connected to nerves.
Crab dont have brain because they are exoskeleton which means rhe bone are on the outside and meat on the inside btw crabs only have meat inside
@TONY ALFY Hi biology major here. Crabs have a brain. All brains are not the same and function the same but through classification crabs do in fact have a brain. Its a feature of all living creature (except plants) to have a form of brain which which can be as simple as a mass of nerves and neurons
@@arneldejesus9707 they have "gut" like stuff between the gills that is not meat, it needs to be removed before eating. And they also do have "bone" on the inside. I live in Baltimore and eat steamed blue crabs all the time.

I was surprised how little Japanese mayo he added on, he normally adds like 6 bottles for one roll 😂

He forgot to take the cap off
I mean not really, he always only adds one row of Japanese mayonnaise across the entire sushi roll, it’s only when he’s making sauces or garnish with it etc he adds a ton lol
@@madtchap3450 Exaggeration.
@@mariakarageorgis8069 what exaggeration? Where is the exaggeration in his comment apart from “he normally adds like 6 bottles for one roll”?

I don't think there is a more pure content creator
I love this channel because he just seems so genuinely excited and wholesome about everything he does. It’s almost childlike but really endearing. Very passionate guy

@@SaintJerry damn. Why you have to say the last line tho? Maybe they genuinely didn’t know. Don’t be a dick. And don’t be disrespectful when you can simply explain something to someone kindly.
Looks damn good! I was misled by the title I thought you are eating the raw soft shell crabs as sashimi! But deep frying is definitely the best way to enjoy them!
I’ve seen you around!! I love your videos man!
It still baffles me that nerves continue to move even though the brain has been removed/disconnected from the body
@EMPEROR OF MISOGYNY i know it has nothing to do with the brain, i was just pointing out how it's freaky that their nerves still spasm etc, even though there is no conciousness attached to it

Wow nick that sushi is making me hungry youve cooked it so well
After eating the sushi Nick's behaviour automatically changed into a kid😂
fr lmao
my gf is a sushi chef and she said less foretake (only as garnish) , and no need to press down the rice, but mostly focus on the edges of the seaweed. Also, when cutting the sushi, just on motion of the knife instead of back and forth motion. ALSO use saran wrap on your bamboo sushi roller in order to avoid rice stickie.
Lucky
you have a gf???
That looks so good and like nick said when it was moving after that was just the nerves it wasn't in any type of pain!
That looks so delicious

this man is in love with Japanese mayo, next hes gonna put it on his ice cream
Actually there is something called Mayo ice cream personally don’t like it
I mean, it does taste good
You can do soy sauce and I think caramel on ice cream
Dude Mayonese goes on everything in Japan. But it's pretty different from mayo you get in the west.
Nick’s relationship with mayo is like Jamie Oliver’s relationship to olive oil tbh
Never had soft shell crab and it looks so delicious
I used to work at that market, those guys know their stuff!
Nick being a literal Chef: as someone who likes to cook
Me: You don't say
This comment kinda gives my weirdcore vibes
Such a treat, like a good langoustine. Hard to come by over here despite living close to the sea. Mouthwatering this video!
Good cook man😊😊😊
I love cooking with soft shell crabs. They are so good when fried just like this. I normally throw them into some steamed buns with lettuce and a tangy ponzu mayo.
I wanted to let you know, I was scrolling through comments bored and I thought the fly on your profile picture was real for a split second… I hate you 😂

Oh my gosh I saw ur profile pic and thought there was a speck of dust on my screen
Steam buns are so good

I live next to a bay and we have a bay house with a pier. On our pier we have crab traps that catch blue crabs daily. Out of my thirteen year life on this earth, I have only caught and eaten one soft shell crab.

@@anelbegic2780 he probably did, he’s really smart and educates himself before he starts ❤️
@@malikes4591 he’s actually an utter idiot, with so many lies and inaccuracies in his videos. For example, in a short he called a “hidden rose apple” - a variety of apple, a “rose apple”- a completely different species not in the video- think pineapple, custard apple, stone apple. He said that his American eel was “sustainably sourced” that’s a lie, there are no sustainably sourced American or European eels as they cannot be captive bread so are wild caught as babies and grown- unsustainable, and finally in this video it’s different with crabs because they are such simple organisms- tbh there’s even debate to weather or not they can feel pain, but basically they have two brains called “ganglions” and Nick only destroyed one of them, so the other takes a while to die. Splitting it down the middle immediately afterwards would’ve finished the job. He is full of lies.
@@boarbot7829 You amuse me. I looked at some of your other comments and you literally sit on this guys channel insulting him falsely.

@@cheddis3249 I’m just annoyed by his insane and overly devoted fan base… and how about instead of blindly insulting me you actually combat some of my points?
Nick here is a tip for when you need to pronounce the word furikake:
Fu - food without the d at the end
Ri - eric without the e and c
Ka - cat without the t (and emphasis goes on this syllable)
Ke - kept without the pt
All together one word
he pronounced it pretty much perfectly..
Just say Foo-re-kak-a
Furi-cock-aye
Good god that looks so good! And he’s super too ugh this video is overwhelming lol
OMG that looks amazing
Nick: "they're claws don't really do much"
Crab: "Am I a joke to you?"

Your batter isn't sticking because you didn't flour the crab. Also add tiny bit of corn starch or sweet potato starch along with tiny bit of baking powder to have the Tempura batter crispier and lighter. You can add the furikake to the batter to have the same effect. Please do not handle or press the shari (sushi rice) so hard. Remember, you are making sushi, not mochi. Torching the avocado is a good idea, however you might want to add other elements to lighten the roll a bit by adding cucumber or thinly sliced green onions. If people want a vegetarian substitute, try maitake mushrooms, black trumpet mushrooms or asparagus. Tastes fantastic.
