JUMBO Blue Crab in the KEYS | Catch Clean Cook

[@Beardlovesdog]

Excellent quote by the KWW while standing in the water. "I almost fell in the water!" Fun harvesting fellows. Enjoy the weekend. Aaron's eye brow raise when he took the first bite said it all. I bet that be a 55 dollar dish if you could even find it at any restaurant. Nice Will! And I remember you really enjoy fixing food for the people you care about not for the money. Nice hair do on KWW wifey too!

[@CookingWithClams]

It would be pricey haha

I was so glad to see a plastic cutting board. Those bamboo boards make a sound under a knife that crawls right into my spine.

[@CookingWithClams]

They ruin your knifes edge as well

[@markturner9459]

Mustard is the bomb!! I love it.

[@CRCov]

I used to spend my summers in Avalon NJ as a kid and we would go out at 11pm and crab the docks until the sun came up. My grandma would tell us dont come back until you have enough crab for everyone. Something about crabbing at night that you cant explain, plus no one was out there. Man those were the good old days.

[@CookingWithClams]

We did the same in Jamaica bay

[@wilfordclarke4217]

Sooo good! Watching you two stumble around in the mud was classic - the only thing missing was the "Hold my beer" intro.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha

[@tommytsadventures]

Will rockin' the 80's checkered board Van's! 🤙Love me some blue crabs but man they are a pain to pick the meat and nope on the mustard or tomalley! Aaron's face when he took his 1st bite, LOL! I have never had custard before but given the chance I will definitely give it a try.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s like jello and pudding mixed together

[@baitguru9197]

I took the family out to the sunshine skyway bridge (mouth of Tampa Bay) for crabbing. It would get very competitive with some people and those long nets, I would get defensive (territorial), but didn't need to, as I purchased small cast-nets for my 2 sons (age 7 and 10). A 4' net with 3/8" mesh was perfect for my young boys. It was humorous, as My boy's would throw out past the reach of the netters, and catch the crabs, long before "those" people could reach them. My son's enjoyed it so much, that we stayed the entire tide change (until 2:00am in the morning). We easily caught a 5 gallon buck of large blue-claws, and my mother steamed them up (lots of Old Bay seasoning), followed by picking them the next morning.

[@CookingWithClams]

That sounds like a perfect night and nothing better than a perfectly steamed crab

[@kellystandard703]

Awesome dish, could never make it but I'd eat it! I try to save the mustard for seafood risotto, or just slurp it down. Its a delicacy, or an acquired taste, Kinda like the tomalley in a lobster.

[@CookingWithClams]

In risotto is genius!

[@ToilOrStarve]

I don't intentionally eat the mustard but it does get on the meat when I am picking at them. It does lend a lot of flavor to the meat. I've never done a recipe with crab meat. I just cook them with Old Bay and dip them in butter.

[@CookingWithClams]

They are something that doesn’t need much. I do love just a perfectly steamed crab

Hello Will nice crabs, down here in South Louisiana we eat the fat, eggs and mustard love the stuff when we have a crab boil that stuff sucks all the seasons up man that taste so good , y'all should put some small traps for the shrimp put a little can dog food in them that's what we use when cast netting punch some holes in the cam or use some all mess netting works well tks for the video.

Looks like a blast buddy! Not sure if this helps out or if it would work. When I was a kid picking up night crawlers with a regular flashlight was tuff. They would run away at the first sight of the flashlight. Some smart person recommended I use a red light. Night crawlers couldn't sense it. Maybe a red light for catching crab and shrimp would work without scaring them? I wouldn't have any experience with this though. Good luck!
