No, but seriously, you're not only instantly killing both nerve centers of the crab intantaniously (thereby killing the crab in the absolute most humane way), you also perfectly remove the potentially toxic guts AND bag all refuse in one swift move. You are a MASTER. Thanks again for sharing this.

Agreed. But growth mindset... crazy amount of unnecessary plastic use here. As a long time crabber and someone who cares about the impact of plastics on our oceans, you can do better with the gloves (which you start with and then rightfully discard) and the plastic lined plastic bucket... constructive feedback. Hopefully it comes across as such.
@jameskoehler4939 Жыл бұрын
@@ungerroberts Fair point. I suppose one could use compostable garbage bags and re-usable gloves (or no gloves like me). But if you live in a city, you really have to bag the crab guts. The reek from the trash can will gag the entire neighborhood.

I work at a crab processing plant where we kill/clean thousands of pounds of these fellas every day. Everyone who works there has a slightly different way of doing it. Some are more messy than others (since we are processing them en masse, we aren't quite so concerned about cleanliness apart from a thorough hose-down and scrub after the shift is over.) I plan on trying this method to see if it feels more comfortable, since whatever method is used depends on what feels comfortable and more natural for the person doing it.

I first saw a product called the Crack & Crab produced in Oregon. A very cool cleaning system but it isn't cheap. Then I saw this video and it saved me some money. I have only gotten to use it on cooked crab but it sure was faster then the normal cleaning. I ground off the lip of the bucket and gave it a bevel so it's thinner. Just a stout bump on the back of the shell and the crab is split. Like most people I know, I don't care for the butter so it isn't a big deal to me. Good vid, good idea and it works great.
