When I lived down there , you could stop at this place on card sound road , before the bridge and pick your own Blue Crab out of some tanks that a fella would trap . I think it was $25 dollars for a 5 gallon bucket of them . And I think there was toll shack there at the time . I wanted to try Lobster traps but I just never got the permits and at the time I think you had to have them for each trap (pot). Yummy Stone Crabs , another great adventure .

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

native stacker: Would love to find that place now. I think we like blue crabs better than stone crabs sometimes. Can’t find anyone down here selling them. -Capt Dan

[@photodivainwa]

Brings back memories of living off of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs ( cooked with Old Bay Seasoning ,beer and vinegar). We would put newspapers on the table. BTW, the more seasoning put on the crabs, the more beer we would drink. Lol! Now I live where you can eat one Dungeness crab and get full instead of picking thru a dozen blue crabs and have sore fingers. I would LOVE to have a soft shell blue crab sandwich right now, just have to make sure the legs and claws are tucked away in the bread!

[@mikeward6504]

That looks like a great meal for you and the wife Captain Dan ty🤙

[@cliftonperkins9071]

Awesome catch. Gotta love the crab 🦀

[@jeanicebarnett4130]

I LOVE crabs too! I've got a secret ingredient to my crab cakes!! IT'S CRAB! Lol we load up the crab meat. Great video.

[@GHOSTINPLAINSIGHT]

Came upon your channel over the TG holiday and have been binge watching when I can. Well thought out and fun to watch. Sergeant Major, y'all got it going on!

GHOST IN PLAIN SIGHT 2018: Thanks bro I appreciate that! - Capt Dan

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff guys

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thanks my man!

[@dsjoyful14ever]

If you put a dash of distilled vinegar in the water before you cook the crabs, it will make the meat sweeter and also the meat will detach from the shell in a much easier manner.

[@minafady3084]

Niiice video guys..thanks for sharing the fun..👍👍👍

Incredible fishing, beautiful video. Hug and good fishing.👍🎣🐠😊

[@charlesmorgan2309]

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

CPro Fishing: Can’t wait to get back and check my traps again! Love those stoneys! -Capt Dan

[@expressedforlife3018]

Sounds like some pretty good eating! Love it!

[@paulk8716]

We’ll take the blue claws all day long, especially those size! Capt Dan 3:16 words to live by!😂😂👍❤️ Try using the back (dull side) of a butter knife to crack the stone crab claw. Give the claw a hard smack and it will crack the claw nicely. Make your own mustard sauce to dip the stone crab, also good on king crab legs Ingredients 1 cup mayonnaise 2 tbsp. half-and-half 4 tsp. dry mustard 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. A.1. Steak Sauce Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Instructions Whisk mayonnaise, half-and-half, mustard, Worcestershire, and A.1. sauce in a bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper and chill. Serve as a dipping sauce with all kinds of crab.

[@arronorr4479]

Fun as usual reminds me of when I was a kid we were so poor we had to use kite strings and chicken backs for bait but we caught a ton of crab hope to talk to yal soon

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Arron Orr: used to do the same growing up on Long Island, NY. Loved catching them with string and chicken wings. - Capt Dan

[@merrywissemes]

Man, what an awesome video, guys. Very enjoyable. Just gotta find a way to invent CrabTube so we can watch and TASTE those crabs.....🤔😂 Dan and Elizabeth, my wife and I always love your content, but it’s nice to see you guys change things up every so often. I sure wish you guys could see how much your video production has improved since we first started watching you two. Anyway, good work and thanks for posting!

[@wesmoney785]

"Who's gonna win this epic battle" hahaa that was awesome...good catch Elizabeth!

Thank you we hope you have a great new year as well stay slaying n filleting🎣👊🤙

[@cpcorbiere]

I love that you can pick off a claw and put the critter back. I do this with rock crab. They aren't like ostriches! Let us know if you enjoyed the Kalles Kaviar

[@massmedic6334]

Nice job guys looks yummy

[@Amicaner]

great video! Thanks

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

What are your favorites? Blue crabs or Stone Crabs?

[@jennifernavas7884]

Loved it

[@mikeoconnell4229]

Hey guys, a mouthwatering video! Try and get that zoom right at the table. We had to use our imagination.👍🦀

[@callmepokey1]

Someone probably helping themselves to your traps... 2 tips..Tie strapping them closed lets you know if someone has been in them, strap will be cut if they have, and carry a long pair of tongs to remove crabs with...saves on pinches...lol....another great video. Thanks

[@zippytheoldhippy8418]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL

[@jacktownsley5788]

Really....I don't want to hurt him...tear another claw off..great guys.

[@tonyteresa8145]

tasty looking treats!

[@j74snook]

Next time clean the blue crabs the same way but before you cook them that way you don't rinse away the seasoning. Great catch btw!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Knotty Hooker:Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion. -Capt Dan

[@merrywissemes]

Got a load of stone crab and a few lobster tail from Key Largo fisheries and we’re doing this tonight. Hope you guys are doing good and we miss yooz.

[@merrywissemes]

Update: That was phenomenal! Holy crap that’s good stuff. Now got to clean up the huge mess. 😂

[@michaeldemasi1665]

Take a 24oz can of San Marzano tomatoes and make a sauce. I use the whole tomatoes and mash them in a pot with about 3/4 small can of paste, garlic and olive oil, basal, salt to taste. Then take about a dozen (a few less is fine) blue claws, clean them raw just as you did cooked, remove the claws, break in half and cook the claws and bodies in the sauce (low simmer) for about an hour. Serve over linguine. It will be the best sauce you've ever had and the crabs will be delicious!

[@tommygunz8692]

Yummy nw I want 🦀 crabs and more 🦀

[@AbbyBrian]

I would agree that Crab meat is better than Lobster. Thanks for the Video . Brian

[@bradcallander7789]

YUM

[@MrBrymstond]

So Crabby. 😎

[@tyrelllovitt4234]

👍👍

[@ChuckTaylor-ct6fq]

Just a few light taps with the back of a tablespoon and they pop right open without all the flying shells .

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

I had no idea. We are going to have to try that next time!

[@albertburleson9873]

south Florida fishing said that you can keep both claws now .. new law change..

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Albert Burleson: You can as long as they both meet or exceed the measured size requirement. -Capt Dan

[@zippytheoldhippy8418]

I might have erased all off my phone on accident....give me a hello out so i can make sure I'm alive...p.s. i love crab spread from food lion, so i know fresh is to die for. Heiko hello

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

zippy the old hippy: thought we lost you! Glad to see you back! -Capt Dan

[@Nowehi305]

How you guys know if there someone open it before

[@jims6101]

Stone crab claws are my absolute favorite crab to eat. If you have those the blue crab is better for permit bait. Lol I’ve always had better luck with fish and fish carcasses as bait than pig feet and chicken.

[@megamattoutdoors7648]

I usually add a tbsp or 2 of white vinegar to the water. Meat comes off the shell a ton easier and doesn't effect the taste. Great job you two

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

I’m surprised it doesn’t affect the taste! I love vinegar, so it probably wouldn’t matter to me, but it is surprising! -Elizabeth

[@captntomsartworks3154]

I am a recent transplant from Baltimore to Key Largo. I have been crabbing on The Chesapeake Bay since I was a kid and I am wondering... Would anyone here care to share some good blue crab crabbing spots locally around Key Largo?

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Put your traps out in the bay. You should catch plenty. No one wants blue crabs in the Keys because everyone want stone crabs.

[@Timbad316]

Hey I bet if you got the two crabs claws and a couple of lobsters can't be beat allacart

[@coyotefeeder]

I'm worried someone around here would steal my traps.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

David Hoffman:Happens all the time here unfortunately. -Capt Dan

[@hunternessen8338]

Are you allowed to keep female blue crabs?

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Hunter Nessen: Absolutely, as long as they are not egg bearing at the time you catch them. -Capt Dan

[@igotatan1]

Stay Stony, Capt, n Liz...

[@garyulmer259]

Hay Dan how come your wife did all of the heavy work

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

She’s stronger than me! 😂😂😂

[@muddyh2o2init44]

I thought you were supposed to only take one so they can defend themselves until the other grows back. Kinda like you can keep legal size female Dungeness crabs but it’s frowned upon. (Greedy or desperate)

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Muddyh2o2 Init: The Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC) allows for both claws to be taken if they meet or exceed the minimum size restriction. That’s why you must always carry an approved gauge. - Capt Dan

[@edwardnephew567]

Love your videos Captain Dan, Hieko is a nice guy, but he's not as pretty as miss Elizabeth. Need to take her out on the boat more often with you.

[@michaelbrodzik2790]

First of all, we have lived in Florida longer than either of us lived anywhere else. Secondly, it’s clear that you don’t watch our videos - you simply found one to randomly make a nasty comment on. If that’s not the case, not sure what your intent for this comment is.
