How to Make Crab Stock

[@VideoViperX]

This is a serious help! 👍 I'm gonna make a 3-dish crab dinner for my family and I need to make a ramen with crab stock. Thank you so much!

[@alexanderlin8437]

This is great. Thanks.

Exactly what I was looking for. I'll perhaps add some crushed fennel seed, (or Sambuca) carrot, parsley and chopped shallot.

Silly question but is it boiled with the lid on or off please?

[@723skierbob]

Thank you, but I wish you had shown the straining process.

There are no quart jars that are considered freezer safe, though obviously you can nearly always get away with it. Most of the smaller Ball jars, including the 1.5 pint jar, are available in a freezer-safe version. But I prefer to freeze my stock in vacuum bags - ziplock bags will work too. I put 2 cups in each bag, and lay them flat to freeze. Once frozen they are easier to deal with than glass jars.

I was wondering if you could use the whole crab and use the stock. I make a French smoked fish soup but need a good stock. The soup I make, I discovered in the south of France and they called it "petit marmite"

Do you mean to use the whole crab for the stock? If so, yes. Once the whole crabs cook for a few minutes you can remove some, cut them in half with scissors and return them to the pot. This will expose their inner contents and hep develop more flavor. Hope that helps!

Yess but that would make it a broth.

Thanks i was just looking at some crabs my grandma made and i thought to myself " can i make this into soup? " thanks for the video

Thanks for the video. I can’t understand why people would use beef or chicken stock when making crab soup. Maybe it tastes better idk.

Thanks so much!

Question: do you need to take out all the meat before boiling??

[@parkerdm9636]

He said that he did early in the video. However, you don’t need to remove everything! With a little meat still on the results are similar

[@Aunt_Bee4738]

Can you add carrots ?

[@markszyszkiewicz]

I'd say do it...Don't over-do it though.

Will the poison of blue crabs boil out

[@kaikart123]

Protip: If you grill the crabs first, it would give more intense smoky flavor to the stock

can barely hear you.
