Chili Gulf MUDCRAB (Catch & Cook)

After a day fishing and mud crabbing, I come home and cook up a feast of Chilli Mudcrab. The fishing and mudcrab has been exceptionally good this year on the Mcarthur River.

Great episode. Little dramas happen. I did chuckle to myself when you went to use the lip gripson on the couda, without the wrist lanyard...

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea I hear ya… but not really likely to lose grippers on a 400 gram Baracuda. Haha.

[@Jarrydd]

Really underrated content mate, reminds me of my time as a commercial crabber in NT. Hard work but hard to beat. Keep it up Mikey me and the fam love sitting back watching the eps 👌🏽

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Cheers mate. Thanks so much for watching. Mud crabbing... It's definately more than just a job... it's a way of life.

[@mickhannequin7647]

Loving the content Mickey and the pod cast you and ash are doing hopefully I can bring the boat up next year and get in to some of them 🦀

[@rosyjobya]

Hey Mikey love your episodes. a little tip on thickening the Crab Gravy is wack a few raw eggs into the gravy and a bit of a whisk and you have it. Add more or less to suit the Quantities. Also especially with Blue Swimmers put a few raw eggs into the marinade and BBQ them and at the end when cooked add the egg slop on the crabs and take off before it completely solidifies. Enjoy and let me know how it goes. Cheers.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Absolute lightbulb moment as soon as I read your message mate. I was meant to use eggs!!! Totally forgot. I’ve used eggs before in my chilli crab. Don’t know how I forgot … In fairness it was like 40 degrees outside and then having to move everything inside the shed mid-videoing had me frustrated and not thinking straight. Haha.

[@damianwebb1677]

Man, awesome video. Fishing is pro and cooking is on point. You say you aren't a cooking show....... I say do more catch n cooks.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I'm going to try more catch and cooks this year mate. Starting with the video I published about an hour ago... my first video of the year is a Golden Snapper Catch and Cook. Nothing too fancy, but the freshest fish possible.

[@peterbutler1099]

Another great video can't wait to get up there next year and try it myself

[@craigdean6249]

thanks matey! can we go out crabbin with the mad mullet again soon? we're missing that lunatic!

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

He’s finished up for the year mate. Crabs have slowed down so much there are only a couple of crabbers still working. Early next year. Maybe March I’ll get out there with him.

[@peterdaalman462]

Cracking video Micky. Great feed mate

[@BloodyAustralian]

Been waiting for a new episode to drop. Love your content mate 👌

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks mate. I’ve got another 2 episodes ready to edit … so hopefully have the next one up in 10 days or so. 👍🏼

[@markdiamond4035]

Mikey couldn't catch a fish if you tied it to his line but he makes amazing videos ❤

[@garrynorth6199]

Well you had some challenges Mikey, but that chilli mud crab cookup at the end made it all worthwhile, that looked delicious 😋

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Mate, not gonna lie… it was soooo good. Haha.

[@tonyconnolly9847]

We are all human and make mistakes but hopefully we learn from them best of luck 🎉

[@bryanbadger6841]

Damn it all mate. I've just drooled over my keypad. Quality stuff mate. Btw, I've never made a mistake in my 77 summers on this earth. Fair dinkum. 😅 Hey sxxt happens. Thanks again for sharing. Atb from across the ditch.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I’m the clumsiest person I know. Haha. I do stupid things without thinking all the time. My wife reckons I’m getting worse. Haha.

[@ChooRoo]

Nice catch mate. I'll send you a free bottle of my hot sauce (originally from the NT) if you feature it in your next crabbing cook off haha ;)

[@stuartvincent544]

Good video, I do like videos that do catch and cooks. I will definitely check out the pod cast.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

[@Winnick]

Hey Mikey! I’ll be heading up to King Ash Bay for the first time Mid April 2024-May to spend a couple weeks on a houseboat. Trip of a lifetime awaits and your channel has been my bible. Any chance you can do a video about rigs, rods ,line caliber etc any tips of must bring items for both fishin n cooking?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Mate I reckon Ash and I have you covered in our podcast. I can’t remember if we spoke about all that stuff in episode 4 or 5 of the podcast (which will be published Friday of next week or the week after) … but we covered it all. Everything you mentioned plus more. So stay turned for those episodes mate. We went into plenty of detail about all that stuff. April-May is an awesome time too. You’re gonna love it in the houseboat. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TipsFishing343]

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

[@craigtomkinson2837]

[@williamheaney2565]

Just looking after muddies

[@chefcamsey1375]

Great work mate. Not a real fishing trip without some form of mishap haha

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

True.

[@edwardharrar6586]

Hey Mikey have you ever eaten barracuda I know they stink but if you bleed them and throw them on ice filled and season and cook they are fabulous to eat not joking or pulling your leg either bud I eat them quite a bit.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I haven't eaten one mate. But I believe ya... I reckon any fishing caught and cooked fresh is gonna taste pretty good.

[@elizaandalisa]

Onya mickey don't fret shit happens cheers n beers Marty Qld

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Cheers mate. 👍🏼

[@rigger314]

We all make mistakes from time to time mate dont be too hard on yourself.

[@magilla8026]

Has been abit lately ay, Mikey like ya footage no matter what

[@jono999s]

Mike us the net😂

[@jono999s]

The amount of tiny fish I have dropped is funny 😁 😂 😀

[@rigger314]

Around the burdekin where I fish its the bloody sharks.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

We get our fair share of them here too mate... some days you can't get away from the bastards.

[@diamonddestroyer626]

Catfish are good crab bait

[@FairDinkumAdventures]

Great video just wondering what editing app the you use because I’m trying to make my KZbin channel better

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I use Adobe Premiere Pro mate. I’ve been using it for over 20 years now… so I’m pretty comfortable and efficient with it. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners.

[@FairDinkumAdventures]

Ok I’ll give that a go

[@markdiamond4035]

Jokes 😂

[@MICKMAKO13]

Mickey shit happens brother not as if ya planned it mate anyway the other cod will be jealous of his bling 😅😅😅😅😅

[@nedcarter6553]

Are the flys Extra 😂😂😂😂😂

[@RylanBeyer-nn4vf]

Is this the place u fished when u competed in the barra comp

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea mate. Same spot. I chose that spot because I knew I’d be able to get crabs there. 🦀 👍🏼

[@josh-jttownley1097]

Mikey!! I had to put my dog down of 14 years today. I finally sat down after burying him on my property and the second I seen you uploaded a vid I was absolutely stoked for the distraction of one of my favourite KZbin fisherman. Thanks for the temporary distraction I needed it

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Mate that’s not good news… but I’m glad I was able to temporarily help. ☹️

[@tonyconnolly9847]

Can we buy your merchandise in England?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yes mate.

[@geoffgold6773]

Love how you said I’ll never use the lip grips without using the cord next thing I see is you have the lippies in your hand without the cord trying to bring in that smelly kutta sure your not related to Cheech and Chong

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Probably not gonna lose them on a 300 gram Baracuta... haha.

[@nickgillon2625]

Your so called goldy looked a lot like a finger mark to me. No doubt your recipe for your Chili carb is awesome mate....However ! I personally don't like the use of the soy sauces. Pretty much everything else is the same. But each to their own taste Happy chewing

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea some people call them Fingermark here. That’s the Queensland name for them. They are usually Goldies or Golden Snapper here in the NT.

[@willietetzlaff1376]

find a new spot

[@palmwoodshoney9213]

Funny how you call fish barstards etc when they arent what you want, just show some respect for all the fish mate, they are just trying to survive. You can do better

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Sounds like I'm the bastard.

[@MICKMAKO13]

Bro are you serious and are you Aussie.?.

[@MICKMAKO13]

​@@MikeyCunninghamFishingfuckin oath your a bastard but your our bastard lol....love ya work mate and content i bet my left nut ash or mad mullet have called you worse lol.....😂😂😂😂

[@MICKMAKO13]

Why no comment on the shitty couta palmwoodhoney....?

[@liamwindsor5854]

Spare me mate, jog on
