We Deshelled RAW CRAB MEAT then DEEP FRIED it to Perfection! Catch and Cook Salt Pepper Dungeness!

‪@philosophyd‬ had a great idea for his last catch and cook video and while watching it I thought of how to improve on it! Taking out the meat from a freshly caught Dungeness Crab would be tricky but I thought it would make the recipe so much better! Fishing for them with Crab snares is so satisfying! Especially cooking what you catch!

I think you could par cook the crab, aka flash boil the crab, to help it release from the shell then take the meat out

Just a suggestion. Instead of using a RAZOR KNIFE use a Scissors, probably the type that comes in a Kitchen knife set. I think it will work far better and it will Definitely be SAFER.

Around here(east coast) they call all of them a “Mermaid purse”. If the crab is soft (just molted) eat the shell. It has a smoked flavor.

I use the crabslayer, and let me say, it really works. Better than anything you can get at Dicks, Bass Pro shop, Outdoor Pro Shop, Ect. I take good care of mine, Ken sends them to you pre-stored in a specific way that keeps all the loops up and open. I also buy the replacement loops, but I only replaced my all my loops once after like 5 months of use. good product It's Increased my chance of getting crab by like 300%!~

[@reeceadams384]

That crab meat looks kind of like shrimp when it’s uncooked after you Shuck it. You should try and catch a fish on uncooked crab meat

[@apf777]

They’d probably have to be anchored in a boat for that. Without its exoskeleton, the crab meat will be even softer than shrimp - so it wouldn’t last long in the surf. But that’s a cool idea. As a fisherman, I’d do whatever it takes to get that bite.

[@reeceadams384]

You could try miracle thread to try and keep the crab meat on but That would be more for a challenge for like surf perch or something not rockfish because they’re too easy to catch

[@giveitaswingoutdoorswithsm2901]

Hello chaps 🧐 I subscribe to both your channels 😀👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@shindukess]

Yes Matt you can eat the eggs from crabs. East Asian cultures do this. When prepping the legs we usually use a butcher knife. Lay it sideways flat over the leg and smash the leg so it breaks the shell. You can also line the knife the full length of the leg and cut it down the middle. Watch the way he smashes the claws. For dungeness you can smash all the legs like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWKtkq1pj8ySq9U

[@achmadramadhani9513]

Eat the brain too, it's so common here in asia

so that lighter colored crab just molted and hasn't had the time for his shell to get seasoned

[@etadelyrayane8149]

oh btw i saw form gordon ramsay he just put those legs under a towel and just punds them 2-3 times and then just pinches them off with his fingers but its probably better to just bite on the shell loved the ending just chilling with the boysss

It's better to just use a serrated blade for hard shells than a thin razor blade, and easily open these with a few safe strokes on where you're about to open apart. I was flinching a bit on that blade, if it slips it'll give you quite a slice.

[@Cernunnnos]

This is so different to how I clean a brown crab. I stab under the skirt and down the mouth, then pull off each limb. Pull the body and back apart, then remove the mouth, apron and gills like you did. Then you can crack open the limbs. But pulling the legs and body away from the shell seems so much easier.

[@dreamtcg]

that shark purse

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

Really enjoyed the video, man. I know the weather is all overcast and grey, but there's something very picturesque and beautiful about it. Also, to remove the crab meat, maybe try using some kitchen shears?

[@Hanseshadow]

Easiest way to get meat out of shells is a fork. You just slip the fork up the edge and leverage it across the edge. You don't need a knife.

[@lmfao5411]

A decent pair of kitchen shears would zip through the leg exoskeleton easily. Tin snips for the actual knuckle sections. If you're going to remove shell from the claw, I'd probably use a fresh, cleaned pair of needle nose pliers to break the exo off bit by bit.

[@sR-rc8ph]

looks yummy :O here my recipe to increase the creamy taste of the crab without killing the flavor of it, Coconut cream/2 egg yolks/salt(but not needed)/starch.

[@cerescop]

Don't use a knife to kill him, just rip the carapace off by lifting the carapace at the back where he comes out when molting. It's quick clean and immediate crab death. Then clean as usual. The carapace comes off very easily. Cook the crab first by boiling or steaming it for 19 minutes. The meat comes out much more easily. Then you can season and fry it if you want. You can do a Louisana crab boil to add seaoning as an option.

[@lschoenrank]

That looks like so much fun! But what state are you in? I'm in BC, Canada. Crab snares are illegal here, and soft-shelled crabs are to be returned to the water (as are all females and undersized males, of course) because the meat is of low quality when the crab has recently molted. As for getting the meat out of an uncooked crab, there are special seafood scissors that I think would work. I've never tried to get the meat out of an uncooked crab, but it's an interesting idea and I'm tempted to try it.
