How to Boil Blue Crabs

[@coffy7586]

Also ProTip ( I used to boil for Winn Dixie) the ice also keeps the claws from popping off of the crabs when they are boiling

[@andreadanford5794]

If my seafood boil don't have all dis well I don't want it lol!!😆 job well done sir🦀🦐

[@arthurr2769]

Just open your shelf, throw everything you have in one huge bowl and bring it boil. Don't forget to wash your hands and feet in it while cooking. Amazing recipe!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I just got rid of my 160 quart pot! I should have let you known I was getting rid of it. Ain't nothing quite as good as a good seafood boil. Looked mighty fine Jaxx!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Awwww man I would have gladly taken it off your hands. Just know from now on I'll just take or (buy) all your hand-me-downs ( hammy downs :) hehehe cheers buddy!

Way too much seasoning crab won't taste like crab😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Looking awesome - i bought a small pack of crabfish boil seasoning when i visited, just have to get the rest now :)

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

How easy is it for you to get Shrimp and or crab?

[@mrangel9986]

DUDE. I WANT SOME OF THAT YO!!!!! Great VID and I learned a couple things.

[@antoinettethomas4675]

How long do you cook them after the water is boiling ???????

[@73FORGE]

Huge fan of crab boils! We do one every year, looked awesome brother, thanks for the shout out👍🏼🍺🤙🏼

[@T4TorrAnce]

I seen videos of people power washing away the roe??? Should we do that or not or personal preference?

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I would not, no.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

It's preference but I love the stuff.

[@Prodigyautodetailing]

What size pot you have thank you 🙏

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Love me some blue crab. I need to do this next. Shoot I only live an hour and half from the coast. Awesome boil bro.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I'm lucky to be able to get crab this time of year pretty much every weekend if I wanted. So freaking good. thanks for watching Scott.

Thank you my friend

[@charlenewalton5555]

This looks great i want some

[@ronaldbeach8724]

Question what size pot are you using

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Things I have never seen added to a low country boil/Frogmore stew: All 3 versions of Z's Crab Boil Seasoning (plus a bonus lemon-flavored liquid, too!), Brussels sprouts, or fresh garlic...and there isn't a thing wrong with any of that. I was about to ask where ya corn was, too. I was doing okay until you busted open that she crab and pulled the roe out. Now, I feel the need to drive all day to get to some fresh seafood. 👍

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Oh man the eggs for me are just as good as the meat. Some people don't like it and I get that. You are not allowed to get crab that has the (pom pom) eggs that are the clutch. Basically, if you see the eggs leave the crab in the water. I like to put my corn in last while soaking so it doesn't get mushy, comesout perfectly cooked every time. Thanks for the comment Grumpy Grunt.

[@GrumpyGrunt]

@@JaxxDrinkwater That they are. Throwing some newspaper down on the tailgate and dumping a few bushels of blue crab and the fixin's out with friends is hard to beat. Here in the heart of the Midwest, I won't eat crab or crawfish. Don't trust it. I'll tear it up if I am near a coast, though. The only thing I miss more about living on a coast is probably softshells. I'd do evil things for a softshell crab sammich or a good boil after watching this. 🤤

[@switzer_no_switzing]

This man did not come to play lol RESPECT to the flava!

[@_.smittenkitten._7859]

Hmmm...now I want to cook crabs now

[@SalineScott]

That looks really good. I did not know about the eggs. That was pretty cool

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Hey Scott the eggs are the best bro!

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

I love a good seafood boil. We call ours Low country boil or Frogmore Stew around these parts. It's a pretty big deal here too. You got it loaded down with flavor. Someone showed me a while back about adding celery to it and man is it good. The celery really soaks up the flavor. You did that up right Jaxx. I want some of that Yo!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I've heard of that before and also making it a puree and adding it for flavor as well. Thanks for the comment Ronnie.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Southern Food Junkie I’m from South Louisiana and we’ve been adding celery to seafood boils since forever.

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

@@IslenoGutierrez Maybe that's where they got it from. I really like it in it!

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Southern Food Junkie In my boils I put onions, celery, potatoes, corn, smoked sausage, mushrooms, carrots, sweet potatoes, lemons, heads of garlic and sometimes, turkey necks. I make a mean Louisiana seafood boil.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Jaxx Drinkwater My uncle purées his onions and celery to add to his boils, but I leave mine in large pieces because I like them as sides along with the other veggies in the boil. My favorite side in my boils are the button mushrooms. I put lots of them in because they are always a hit.

[@sandrawesseln9619]

I lived in Maryland for 31 years. It was always illegal to catch female blue crabs when I was there. But the females are usually small and with little meat after cooking so we didn’t want them anyway. After moving to Jacksonville I had boiled crab for the first and last time. Steam big males with lots of old bay. Go O’s!

[@Mercury0369]

You would make a great neighbor to have, god bless you and your family ! Ron in Maryland

Thanks 👍

[@guardyourheart4213]

[@jingfan3173]

Do you sell those crabs? If so, can I have some? Or where do you buy it?

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I buy it at my local seafood market.

[@kdude4857]

Everything you have.... just gone dump that whole thing in there

[@jcobimccray9783]

I almost thought you was from Louisiana with the seasonings. We love our crawfish,shrimp, and crabs down south Lose the Brussels and throw in a cabbage but awesome job that’s how you boil seafood

Looks great gotta cook some. Gotta get out here in D'Iberville and find some nice fat crabs

[@wemcal]

Great video and the food looks delicious

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Is adding crabs and shrimp together just something you do? I’m a native of southeast Louisiana and we normally just boil one type of seafood when we throw a boil, so it will be a crawfish boil or a crab boil or a shrimp boil. I’m just curious.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Just something I do. My wife is native South Louisiana (Lafourche Parish). I do multiple because she's the crab eater more than me. I prefer crawfish over crab and the guest we had that day didn't know how to eat crabs and he preferred shrimp. For just two or three people, it's easy to give everyone what they want. Now when you have 20, 30, 50 people, you eat what's spread out on the table and eat.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Jaxx Drinkwater Ah, ok. I see. Well usually when we host or go to a seafood boil it’s usually lots of people and one type of seafood. But I understand your reason. Not that I have anything against it because it would be nice sometimes to have a variety in one sitting, I’ve just never seen it before growing up in southeast Louisiana (St. Bernard Parish).

Totally diluted by those 20 gallons of water. Needed a bigger pot and actually more seasoning. Just about every crab shot their claws/legs off. Should’ve cooled them on ice… just my opinion. Not trying to troll…. just sharing my observations/experience. Thanks for posting, regardless.

The positive side to all that hot seasoning is a lot of folks will not be eating your crabs. I use crab seasoning, but the only seasoning I need to enjoy crab is salt.

[@CampfireSteveOutdoors]

Brings back memories of netting blue crab off the Dunedin causeway with my pal's family back in the early 80's. We'd boil them right on the beach over a campfire. The ecosystem and regulations have degraded since then unfortunately. But I appreciate the stimulus that inspired that trip down memory lane.

[@jessiebrant]

Please remind everyone not to eat the lungs (gills) on the crabs, it will make you sick. Once you pop the top shell off, the lungs are on the right & left sides and normally look gray after cooking. Pull them off and throw it away.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Actually, you can eat every part of a crab, including the dead man's finger, or lungs/gills. They aren't tasty, but if you've got some strange lung/gill fetish, eat on.
