The little guys on the dock running back to the water was cute

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha I thought so too

[@edryan5249]

Can’t get no better than that. Long Island blue claws and sweet corn ,miss that nice work.

[@CookingWithClams]

So simple and so perfect!

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Wonderful fishing and cooking video🌷🌷

[@CookingWithClams]

Welcome!! I hope you check out some of my other episodes. Do you also have a channel?

[@Daveincc]

That brings back great memories ! I haven’t done a big crab boil in n years but back in the day I’d get a bunch of crab and shrimp to make a boil. Huge pot on an outdoor propane burner. I’d cover a picnic table with butcher paper and pour the boil out on the table for everyone. Those were the best parties !

[@CookingWithClams]

I wish I caught enough to do a whole picnic table!

[@Daveincc]

I had crabber friends. Usually traded venison for the crabs crabs. Same for the shrimp. Beer was better trade for shrimpers offshore. Also trade with shrimpers for chum and bait.

[@TheLegobug]

Just got back from Virginia and hand lined for Three days off the Chesapeake....man, we ate well for a few nights. Thanks Brother. I got nailed through the thumb by one of those big ones. They don't let go even after their claw breaks off...lol

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha no they don’t!

[@Stan_L]

Great job Will. Thanks for sharing.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!

[@tomlpdx]

You don't always have to do "weird" recipes, sometimes the tried and true basic recipes are the absolute best. Thanks for taking me along on your journey!

[@CookingWithClams]

Glad you like them! Sometimes simple is best

@@CookingWithClams I would love to see what you could do with a Dungeness crab some day. If you are ever back in the Pacific NW, but it on your list of yum!

Got one last crab one coming up

It was nice to see something more simple😂

I sneak em in there time to time

[@bradjones9634]

Looks delicious!! Blue crabs are a lot of work for little reward - but they are delicious.

[@CookingWithClams]

The 7” ones are worth it, but sadly few and far between

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Will! Crab redemption, sweet. Love the crab boil idea. Seemed simple, but really isn’t. Looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s a classic here

[@teresamerklin4614]

I like my crabs steamed, I'm from MD.😊 I never have dipped in butter, but keep a pile of Old Bay on my plate.

[@CookingWithClams]

Classic! Can’t beat old bay

[@markroper9269]

Can't go wrong with a boil!!! Even if you are not in the low country.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s perfect every time

[@MyJason444]

that looked so good , Down here in Texas on the bayou we catch and keep them in a pin by the pier and feed them chicken for 3 to 4 days fatting them crabs up before they go into a hot boiling pot of crab boil and red potatoes with corn ..so good

[@CookingWithClams]

Ah I wish I could do that!

[@ElainaSearles-s2h]

I’m so jealous! I’ve never had real crab and I want it so bad!!😊

[@CookingWithClams]

Really??

[@ShaunYoungfishing]

Love your videos! Ever want to come have an awesome fishing trip in NW Florida holler at me. We could have an epic blue crab catch and cook!

[@CookingWithClams]

Would love to

[@ElainaSearles-s2h]

Will, you’re dropping those little ones right back in by your chicken. Throw those way out. They keep coming back for the goods!!😂😊

[@CookingWithClams]

Usually they spook and won’t go back feeding

Thanks for providing some fun and happiness to break up constantly checking hurricane updates! Looks like a good one. How do you think stone crab claws would fare in a crab boil?

[@CookingWithClams]

Fantastic! Are you kidding?? Do it

[@alexsocha9379]

@@CookingWithClams will do come first pull. Was going to drop traps this past Sunday but opted against dropping them because of the storm but will probably drop them soon for a pull after season open

[@David35445]

Have you ever tried foraging your own sumac? I tried it this summer and was pleasantly surprised at my results. It is a lot of work separating the seed coating from the seeds but also somewhat therapeutic. I made the sumac aide from the leftovers and it was also delightful.

[@CookingWithClams]

I have! It’s somewhere on the channel, but yes, totally worth the time

[@mrmister385]

Hi Will. Thanks for swallowing your pride, and admitting you have Crabs. 🤣 Man I hope all your buddies down in the Keys are OK. I've been watching live Cams all day, and it looks pretty damn rough to me!

[@CookingWithClams]

Key west has faired well so far

[@FloridaWanderer85]

Love the videos man. Hope to catch you n key west sometime out n about. Hey can you use the castable bifold nets down there?

[@CookingWithClams]

I’m not sure I know what those are

[@FloridaWanderer85]

@CookingWithClams Plymouth castable crab trap. Just learning about them myself >

[@robertrickabaugh3304]

Crabs tend to shed more on a full and new moon because the currents are stronger

[@CookingWithClams]

Ah that makes sense

[@garyulmer259]

Will make a crab cake

[@CookingWithClams]

Will do!

[@KeithThomas-g1v]

Good stuff. Looks like you are catching the same ones over and over. You are letting them go right back at your chicken line. Try letting them go somewhere else. Just an outloud thought. Now hungry for carolina crabs.

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha a lot I was walking to the end of the dock and tossing them, after a while I was legit tired haha

[@robertrickabaugh3304]

Catching the same small crabs over and over again

[@CookingWithClams]

I was walking a bunch to the end of the dock and dumping them away from my bait and got tired after a while. Seemed like no matter what I did, small crabs were the result

[@tomromeojr6306]

I'm now expert here, as a matter of fact, I've only crabbed once, and that was when I was a kid and it was in Cape Hatteras. Somehow, we did catch some though. Dumb luck However, I think, if you want bigger ones, you might have to get on a kayak, or a John Boat or something and get away from the dock, where every Tom, Dick and Harry are fishing! You might also have some luck with crab traps if you got away from the docks a little bit. Many youtubers, including your buddy Tug use this technigue. Just a few suggestions like i said, I'm no expert. (By the way, we caught those crap, cooked them (an older cousin cooked them, and man were they ever NAAAAASSSSTY. This was before the internet, so we had NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE DOING! Thanks to people like you, we may have been able to make them edible, (If only youtube was around then. It seems like we took out a row boat that the hotel that we were staying at allowed guests to use, went out in what I think was a canal, and just hand netted them. I dont remember using any bait or anything and we caught a giant pot full! Ohhhh to be young, dumb and full of myself again!

[@CookingWithClams]

Yes! Definitely bigger ones out deep. One day soon I’ll get myself a small boat

[@goodun2974]

​@@CookingWithClams, as a 70's teenager we could easily net a bucket full of keepers in the tidal rivers of Long Island Sound, scooping them off of dock pilings or slowly rowing up into the shallow feeders while somebody stood in front of the boat with a long-handled net. Probably a lot fewer of them now......we even netted Diamondback Terrapins a few times just to admire them for a few minutes before releasing them (they are an endangered species due to nearly having been hunted to extinction for soup over 100 years ago ).

[@goodun2974]

​ps, snapper blues make a particularly good crab bait.
