The larger “sand flea” is indeed a different species called a “beach mole crab” or “albie” or “male sand flea” known to taxonomists as Albunea paretii.

[@rory-leedavis5512]

Yea we have a different name for them but the big one is a male one

[@Thelawncarenut]

Ha ha! I was so excited to see how good they were but at the end, I'm thinking maybe not.

[@lilrudylp]

Hahah u know they weren’t good when he described them as unique... lmao

[@romangarcia8706]

he should have cleaned them in saltwater for about a hour, that would make them way better.

[@matthewspivey1015]

It’s called a Spiny mole crab, Blepharipoda occidentalis. They feed on the smaller mole crabs. Awesome find!

[@patrickkrise8851]

I believe you are wrong sir with all do respect it is called white sand crab (LEPIDOPA MYOPS) the spiny sand crab which you are referring to is much larger with a almost lobster like tail

Try cooking them deep fried with seasoned flour or corn starch.

@Pagliacci No, corn starch is good for frying too. Most Asian cuisine use corn starch because of how crispy and airy the food gets.

Nice video! Remember being a little boy with family digging in the sand not on the boundary of the surf but a little more inland in the wet sand catching these "sand crabs" as we called them back in the day. We dug holes in the sand with our hands to find them and let them wiggle in our hands before releasing them back into the sand.

Hey Rob.. Get the bigger ones , Take of the thick shall on top, break of the tips of the legs and remove the long digger piece that folders between the legs, wash them off.. Add old bay seasoning over them and everglades cactus dust . Heat oil, add onions and green chillie then fry them up till crispy...

Very good tasting little critters. What I do is I take a bottle of vinegar with me to the beach and a small 1 gallon bucket as I catch them and rinse out the sand I but them in vinegar. The vinegar will filter out the sand and such. When I get home I rinse them again then ice bath for one hour. I strain all the water out then I fry them. Once their done I put them in a bowl with olive oil and season them to my liking. Serve them with some white rice and fresh caught fish from that day and you have a full meal. Keep it up.

Everytime I go over to California I dig up sand fleas and I've seen thousands and thousands. And the biggest one I've ever seen was a bit bigger than a quarter. Amazing.

[@MA-jf6tv]

The best way to cook sand fleas is to boil the water at high and then drop them in. Let them boil for about 3 minutes and then rinse them in cold water. Then soak them for 3 minutes in vinegar. Rise them and then cook them in butter. Take them out and throw them in some flour mixed with your favorite spices. Seal and shake the bag, then thrown them back inside the melted butter. Cook at high temperature for 3 minutes while stirring them and them take them out and let them rest for about 3 minutes. You can eat them like this or dip them on some shrimp sauce and you’ll be loving these little critters for life. Compliment them with some yellow rice and veggies and you have a complete healthy meal.

Rob, this is one of my favorite KZbin channels. Love it!! If I could offer a bit of constructive criticism it would be your cooking. Everglades is great stuff but salty as is, then you added salt.... Followed by a sweet wine?? Then you sautéed... That softened the shells and made them chewy.... Or unique! lol! Nothing had a chance of tasting good here!! Lol. If you're cooking something like this or softshell crab, flash frying/deep frying is the route to take. These methods will create a crispy shell. Gabe used that technique and, from what it appeared, had better luck. I'd like to see you revisit this and make it work!!
