GIANT Spider Crab Catch and Cook on the BBQ

[@valerieirwin]

Absolutely beautiful surroundings and what a crab!!!! I'm sitting here drooling watching your beautiful family enjoy the feast! Well done!!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thank you we are lucky to live in such a beautiful area 😊

[@JamesKirkaldy]

Great video Joe. As a kiwi, I’m just loving the diversity of this wonderful Devon south coast. 🦞🦞Also, so good to meet people that share the passion of finding, catching and preparing the delicious seafood here! Thanks!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Looking forward to another adventure Jamie!!!

[@zeusvalhallah9449]

Cant stop watching these videos. Moved to Devon last year and been spearfishing for about 6 months. Its like the universe has suddenly opened up and revealed itself. Wondrous! Love these vids, Joe. Will go out with the Frenchman soon. Went to Eddystone Lighthouse the other day... super scary but amazing. Keep the vids coming!!! :)

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Haha that is how I remember it when I first started spearfishing - the universe opened up! Good luck on your trip with the frenchman!

[@leemore3837]

What a whopper of a crab!! And it’s so lovely to see you bringing up your kids getting them used to proper food at an early age :)

[@maggiemax8065]

Crab is absolutely worth the effort! My family always had a tradition to get stone crabs every year. I agree that it’s almost meditative to sit and pick the meat out. I loved seeing Missy again! Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

So true! Thanks for your comment 😊

[@nathanwhite7602]

Commented in this video about a year ago saying how badly I wanted to move to south Devon, well I’ve done at at the age of 21 now and could not be happier

[@cavemanfisher3340]

Think I say it every time lol but love how the family all get stuck in , made me more than hungry too I need too get out there for a seafood feast .what a cool chill guy keep it up

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thanks mate. The adventures are fun, but the objective is ultimately to bring the fun home for the family 😊

[@clegsmegson2627]

Great to be back in the water again. Managed to spear a lovely bottleneck dolphin. All the best

[@karlstokes874]

Great video again Joe! I loved it when Georgie nodded with his eyes closed at his approval of the spider crab. So cute. Glad to see you're all well. Keep the uploads coming my friend ;-)

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it! Georgie boy loves his seafood 👍 Will keep them coming 👌

[@childofthefox]

It's nice to see that you really read the comments.:-)...I enjoy watching you catch your dinner and cook it..it's a little different than the catch and cooks in the states.. The wildlife is different and it's relaxing to watch you and you take only what you will eat. Thank you for sharing

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Comments make it all worth it 😊 Thanks for sharing in our way of doing things 😊

Took me a few days to see this. Yet again another fantastic video. Love to see you share the bounty of the ocean with your family. Thats one of the many rewards one receives from diving/spearfishing.

Thanks again!

Many thanks 😊

Thanks again Joe nice to see you back in the water. Lovely spider crab and well cooked. Great to see the whole family enjoying the bbq. Water was looking super clear i have to get in this week after work. Looking forward to your next one Joe👍👍👍

Beautiful mate, well done. Nothing better than sharing the fruits of your diving with the family 👌🏼💕

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks buddy 😊 Happy diving for the summer ahead 👍

[@BR0SE1DON]

Joe Pk just got to wait until Wales opens its borders... who knows when that will be... so, so keen... Did you weigh the spider? I had one years ago that was 6lb 9oz, yours looked even bigger, amazing catch - personally, I think it’s possibly the best tasting thing in the sea👌🏼

[@andrewnewby1918]

Fantastic production. Truly awesome location above the waves and below. And what a Spider crab!! Nice to see that your now able to venture out from Walk about Creek. Look forward to future episodes from JoePK 👍

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Many thanks! I'll bring another vid soon 😊

Another great video fella. As a fellow spearo I'm missing that content, but your replacement's are just as enjoyable. And another thing, with the way you impart information I bet you're a bloody good teacher.

[@clarisseluzano0203]

Thank you for uploading beautiful and informative videos. I miss the sea, sun and the beach. At least even though I could not go out, watching you makes me feel less missing the outside world.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thank you! makes the filming so worth it 😊

[@S4UCYJ4CK]

Kind of Missy to repeatedly try to redirect your free hand for the best placement while you were describing your free dive 🖐🐶 That crab is GIGANTIC, glad you were able to share it with your family while also staying healthy with some nutritious garlic butter. 😂 Great video and thanks for continuing to upload!!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Missy was nibbling me all over she just couldn't understand why the walk had to pause for 5 minutes 😂

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thank you 😊 Mate I would check when you have offshore or light winds you should get enough water clarity! You have so many fish up that way! But yes down here is generally more diveable, dorset is good!!

[@svenmoehre2740]

Congratulations from your newest fan, love ur channel a lot, but as a passionate spearfisher from the austrian alps i am really really afraid of tides, currents and the stuff a mountain guy like me doesnt now anything about. I d love to go spearfishing into the north of France, from the shore but i dont know at which time to go into the water and when to leave. The french hunters even use tidal currentz to their benefit. So if u find the time to do a tide and current special for dummies with ski on their feet pls pls do a special about it. Greetings from the alps ...sven..

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Ahh thank you Sven, I love the mountains as much as the sea, both are my favourite places and both will not take prisoners if you are ill prepared. This could indeed be something to do a video on in future 👍 Thanks for the suggestion 😊

That’s a beast of a spider crab, the brown meat is amazing to use in soup or on toast, sounds a bit weird but it definitely works!

[@yanphuc]

@@JoePkSpearfishing Nono it's amazing BUT just be careful of the actual poop sack that is attavhed to the face of the crab/topshell. If you pop that you are in for a hell of a bad time. Its the size of an olive. Other than that and the gills, everything else is edible and amazing!
