Catch and Cook - Simplest Way to SWEETEN Delicious CRAB

I go fishing for striped bass but end up with another delicious treat on the beach - I catch two Dungeness crab, and cook it with no ingredients besides sea water. The salt in the sea water preserved all the flavor and even enhanced the sweetness of the crab meat.
In this video I briefly discuss how to "read the beach" by looking for key landmarks in the water in order to maximize your chances of catching predatory fish like striped bass.

So good to see buds hanging out. Tell Matts that “HELLA BUTTER” is the obvious name for his boat!

[@memoryoftalon1900]

That other crab saw what happened and was like no wayy bruh.

[@Zoro16288]

any animal see that they will get scared lol

[@Bhub746]

Memory Of Talon he hid in the corner after turned away😂

[@bigwoo]

I swear one of the best things about this channel is how well he breaks down and explains things. Everything from how fish sense bait and why certain baits work the way they do to what to look for in the surf and whats happening below the surface to make those indicators visible. Now that the weather is beginning to warm up will you be posting any Ducati footage?

[@philosophyd]

Appreciate it! And it just started raining again here.. so hopefully when the weather clears up I'll throw my travel rod in my bag and hop on the bike!

[@israelrivas134]

Best part of the video lol "hungry dude" Matt's where you at???

[@TheElectrcChickn]

Thought you were gonna say butter.. lol

[@richardchan811]

Great video again @philosphyd and I’m digging the vibe of your videos, got that chillhop day out fishing with friends...

[@809nel]

the dog on mans backpack had me cracking up lol

[@rerewest4703]

Dog in the backpack was cute.

[@lao_scorpio5133]

Showing love from buffalo,ny.❤️ You and fisherman's life are two of my favorite channels 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@pinoyxxxrated22]

Next time make sure you keep a crab gauge with you to measure the crabs. My friend found out the hard way getting a $590 fine and a court date for not having one while targeting crabs. Also buy the metal ones as the plastic ones get warped over time. Very nice video and keep them coming!

[@RatstangGarage]

Lol I would have flown the drone right up to the coast guard helicopter lol

[@at9134]

Just a little suggestion, maybe you can try to cook the crabs on glowing charcoal instead of boiling water, you cracked the crabs open and it's losing all the flavor and sweetness of the meat in the water...

[@kennethchang5304]

Ryan Tsang but he cooked in in natural seawater and that gives the meat a sweet and salty flavor even though it’s boiled. If u boil it in normal water it’s gonna draw out the flavor so just cook in salt and regular water but the seawater is what makes it heavenly.

[@elitem3]

Cook it with tin foil and throw it on thr charcoal

[@Broxty]

Wrong. If you cook it in ocean water it keeps it sweet and salty. If you use regular freshwater it will pull the flavours.

[@outdooradventures8822]

Sweet video! Wish the weather was a bit warmer up here right now. Im way up north from you guys!and i was postive max drowned on his boat he hasnt posted in like a month. Lmao sll thr less great food and tastynlooking food

[@javiercontreras628]

Siempre estuve pensando en como pescar cangrejos con caña desde costa y me lo resolviste. Que buen canal hermano!!!! Un abrazo desde Peru

[@marke.1021]

Saw the stove and thought it looked familiar...then Matts mug pops in..glad you had some fun!

[@e.t_fish8315]

Cool video! Drone footage always cool! Crab tacos?! Sounds tasty. Looking foward to some boat footage by matts.

[@CaliboiDocken]

Keep em coming

[@gatorade5402]

0:49 hey Ron you want somethin- **Backs away**

[@sherylwhauwhau7966]

Enjoy what u said about, when you thought he was going to say butter, I actually thought he was going to say butter too, have watched his videos, which I enjoy, a lot, but anyway, yes he uses a lot of butter. But yes I enjoy his videos and also enjoy watching you guys together, awesome video.

[@fluffy1376]

3:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣nice cover up

[@christinahutchens5433]

That crab looked delicious. Will you use salt water again in the future?? Loved this video! !

[@gregkotkoff6051]

Hey there Daniel I really enjoy the videos looking forward to seeing more

[@j.rdirtyfivethirty1673]

Great video man. Keep up the great work

[@oly1239]

About time dude...!

[@rerewest4703]

Can't believe you don't have crab gauge ! We expect more when your video tapping . Great video though..but get a crab gauge..like the rest of us . LOL.

[@jisozaki]

I completely enjoyed your info on "how to read the beach". Do you have any more videos with similar info?

[@strikevince14]

great vid ans use of your drone to explain the sanbar

[@snowfox22]

10:30 LOL

[@montanablue7960]

So Matt didn't bring the avocados? Enjoy watching both of your videos. Thanks guys.

[@christopherbiegel9553]

Man, with all those barnacles on the shells, those crab must have been packed with meat.

[@res1492]

Can you explain that comment please?

[@christopherbiegel9553]

If barnacles have had a chance to grow on the shell it means that it's been quite a while since the crab has molted. Crustaceans continue to fill their shell with meat until it is so full that they have to grow a new shell and molt. A brand new shell is going to be full of mostly water but a shell that is old and covered in barnacles, seaweed, etc is going to be packed with meat and will give you the best yield per crab.

[@res1492]

Ahhh, that makes sense now, thank you for explaining. How often do they molt, does it just depend on how much it has been eating?

[@morjackson6172]

Sweet vid digging those glasses too

[@NeoDon1]

Of course he is trying to get away, he sees what your doing to his friend, lol

[@thomascarmona8912]

Fuck yeah ✌️😙💨👍🍁🇺🇸 You guys got it up there🦀🦀🦀🦀 All day in the Bay We don't have those🦀🦀 down here,, Cali love baby ,,west coast🎣🦀

[@paulkim9828]

ok..im convinced now that aliens shouldn't come to earth.

[@eduardorobles525]

i did not know it was allowed to catch crab from shore there...i thought only off the pier...now i know for next time..lol

[@saoher8558]

How much are the license to go shore fishing in the west cost, for a non Californian?

[@Geo-Bro]

Thanks for the tips

[@missmeowlive]

You can get fined in CA if you get caught with crabs without a crab gauge. Rulers, measuring tape, sewing measuring tape, etc. aren't accurate. Shell out the extra $5, Daniel.

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

they have it. Ive seen them carry it around in a lot of their videos.

[@mrsenstitz]

Jessica Mau I’d

[@Foxman876]

Fuck California anyway

[@Gamer831crossfire]

that was 100% a cereal killer 10:25

[@kodiak1010]

You guys still say hella up in nor cal? Checkin in from below point conception, no snares or dungies!

[@j.rdirtyfivethirty1673]

grjsb13 I am 48 yrs old . i live in norcal and we been saying hella since i was a teenager. I dont think its ever gonna stop...✌👍

[@kellywaggoner6703]

Nor Cal resident too. It's used all of the time here still

[@mikerivers2705]

Seawater is the best to boil crab, been doing it forever. Hey do grunion still run around your area? We caught them at night on the ventura beach in my youth.

[@m.t.4338]

Can you guys do a video of how y'all know each other? Or how you got into fishing etc?

[@rogueandreel1357]

I need to get me some crab snares! This looks hella fun!

[@marke.1021]

Check youtube on how to make your own..it is quite fun and cheaper to make own.

[@rogueandreel1357]

Time is mainly my issue here, but I'll definitely check out a few videos to see if I can shortcut my way through it

[@marke.1021]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWK4amyYq9uHfsU here is an ok method if don't mind a little time and money. Initially can be a bit of money but compared to losing a few when paying $7+ each better to make own.

[@TheDeAngeloChannel]

Daniel, love your videos, keep'em coming but for realz, get a crab gauge... I know you know better than that. Maybe you just forgot it that day but happened to have a tape measurer? lol

[@rudysison9929]

Dude... I'm planning on a 🦀 snare party opening day for Dungeness..you 2 should go.....

[@greyziedaddy9853]

I know you guys do your primary fishing in not Cal but I love in so Cal and would love to do this. Are they abundant in so Cal? I know our waters are more warmer down here.

[@shaunmontgomery3893]

You ever gonna do those crab tacos??

[@rogerwinston9461]

What did you do to piss off the Coast Guard?

[@TheElectrcChickn]

Not sure about the regs where you are but whenever I visit crescent city to crab they require you to keep a crab ruler on you if your gonna crab.. I was told by locals if you don’t you can get fined

[@TheElectrcChickn]

Secondly fantastic video!

[@kodiak1010]

Yep. Tapes arent accurate because of the curve on the carapace

[@chimyshark]

for males it's mostly reliable, but for females, definitely not because it is so convex. the first crab looked female could've been too small, but w/e, not here to troll, I'm just happy he didn't get caught.

[@philosophyd]

Appreciate it. I own a crab gauge but it was just inconvenient for me to grab it. I wouldn't have kept anything that seemed close to 5' 3/4" as you can see I even threw the male dungeness back that was probably legal.

[@TheElectrcChickn]

Philosophy D 😀

[@oakland002]

Ever thought of using your drone to fly your lines way out there , then drop it , beon the waves ?

[@chrisjohnson1440]

, cool video bro very knowledgeable let me ask you a question you guys are from the Bay Area it's springtime you guys need to come down to Rio Vista anywhere from Shore you have a good shot at getting the Hogzilla

[@gudmalin]

great vid!

[@jacobdavidcunningham1440]

"Many ways to dispatch a crab" 0:34 give them a knife and ask them to commit seppuku

[@Jeremystitan]

Got any information on the knife you are using?

[@lorettahuff3811]

🦀 look good

[@chimyshark]

wow where did you learn the stomach-removal technique?! I thought only I knew about that lol! it's the stomach btw, but it sure looks like a bladder/plastic bag. gotta remove it because it makes everything so bitter.

[@christopherrobinson9690]

I ain’t buy crabs from you guys thirty for one! You eat em!! They must mean a lot too y’all!!

[@Anton0915]

man, that soundcloud link is gone. whats beat by lakeyinspired is that? the intro beat.

[@viledanew]

When I saw that cookware I recognized it, then I saw matts

[@barbaraanderson5785]

Nice video, crab looks yummy, hey Matt where you been, missing you handsome

[@earthman4222]

Remove the bladder...??? Dude you need an anatomy lesson.

[@quintenphillippi6696]

i like how you are eating it on a drain pipe

[@jeffbodean9502]

Use a little vinegar when you boil then

[@xavierv5115]

WHY HASN'T HE MADE ANY VIDEOS.

[@francismendoza9008]

Nice video. ✔

[@jeremy87turbo87]

The proper way to boil crab is actually with seawater it has the perfect amount of salt been doing it for 43 years go take a look at my video on Dungeness crab

[@vaajrambo2053]

Awesome trip, i always bring a snare on the other pole while I fish every time I'm at the beach... Love the simple crab cook, taco next would be great... does that beach hold halibut as well? Just curious

[@joebaggy768]

That 1st striper had so many missing scales. No survivability. Should've kept it if legal length. The small ones are the tastiest.🎣

[@sambmendez2454]

Great video brother awesome eating collaboration killer content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!! Great way to cook your Dungeness crab natural sea water i'm a chef 👨‍🍳 Great cook👍❤️❤️❤️!!!

[@rudysison761]

[@earthman4222]

Um, yeah, um...seawater might have some salt... um

[@chillirun]

What kind of knife is that?

[@senorsanford1]

THAT'S NOT THE SONG IN THE LINK. WHAT'S THE SONG?

[@paulkim9828]

no butter? i never thought id see the day

[@-Jiru]

My filipino ass parents eat everything in the carapace lol

[@yankee196575]

when someone does a catch and release i cant wrap my head on why people do this. at least in sports the endgame is for a victory or loss but in fishing its a meal or playing with the meal

[@karlwooduk]

lol,,sea water is better than fresh water anyway, when cooking shellfish.

[@dangerzone9747]

One crab split between two people is not enough.

[@stephencgr5228]

Wats that heli doing there anyway?

[@you.b6429]

STEV CGR fishing duh

[@atearongo-raea7910]

[@djmankiewicz1000]

Sea water should have some salt... You dont say...

[@ImSafeonSite]

Is that what happens when you eat California crab? You sound like Donald Duck?

[@evodz09]

It pained me to watch you toss the crab butter.

[@chrizwestfield3891]

That intro is too sexy

[@oly1239]

Dude say essentially one more time.....

[@daddiosreelfishing5113]

[@deepfriedbutter]
