Pull the back shell off and remove all the crap. Steam with salt. Once the shell starts to turn red, cook for 5 min. Keep it simple. So happy to see you finally caught a muddy and what a monster he was. Congratulations

[@deedeelemons2035]

Please do a vid on how Rocko is doing with the change of lifestyle in his world! He was just with you two, for a while? Right? And now two kids, We haven’t seen him at all! We are missing seeing him

[@margaret8153]

Original with shell in boiling water then straight in to ice slary is fine way to do it .

[@margaret8153]

Nailed it luke perfect.

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Oh really! What’s the ice for?

[@cassandragrant8175]

​@NXT STOP - Falzon Family stops the cookig proces quikly and cools the meat.

[@malmanning-r8c]

always clean the crabs in 25mm of water and steam for 12mins

[@thatfalzonfamily]

thank you for the heads up 😊

[@kylereilly536]

The reason it was stuck in the shell is because it was under-cooked, will only separate fully when cooked. Need water rapidly boiling, then add crab and only start timer once it comes back to boil completely. Enjoy

[@kooklook]

Unbelievably Huge!

[@thatfalzonfamily]

It is isn’t it I couldn’t believe it when luke got home. Have you ever eaten mud crab before?

[@grahambishop263]

[@thatfalzonfamily]

[@grahambishop263]

@NXT STOP - Falzon Family great it's a great time of the year in south East Queensland

[@chloeheritagepilkinton8726]

Congratulations guys

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Thank you so much, how have you been?

[@ravenfeader]

Well done guys and your on the right track with bubb's , my lad was amongst noise from birth and he slept brilliant . Exciting times ahead and I have to say you have pulled up like a champ after the baby and you are glowing . After the cook straight into ice will free the meat right up .

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Oh amazing! Hopefully she continues to be able to settle through it all 🤞🏼 Thank you so much I appreciate that, I feel great. Oh really! I didn’t know that will definitely try ice next time. How have you been?

[@ravenfeader]

@@thatfalzonfamily With the crabs tie them up and keep them alive until you are ready to cook . You can pierce with the knife just before you cook them if you want . After the cook I drop them into ice water only for a couple of mins just to stop the cook . 👌

[@RAPTOR101]

love the vidoes

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Thank you so much I appreciate it, how have you been?

[@TheBasedAustralian42]

Bloody Legends!

[@thatfalzonfamily]

I appreciate it! How have you been?

[@TheVillianTomo]

pull shell off srub it clean under water then put in pot

[@justinbradford4572]

I’ve seen many videos of people eating mud crab but I’ve never tried them Are they as delicious as everyone says?

[@thatfalzonfamily]

you have to try some asap 😊

[@TheVillianTomo]

salt and vingar in ya water aswell

[@Mackery_]

definitely should've cleaned it before cooking but, looked great tho , hes a massive breeder but good to get a crab before leaving

[@thatfalzonfamily]

What’s the best way to clean it?

[@kristieshaw9339]

NO. NEVER CLEAN IT. WHAT A WASTE. Make salty water. Let it come to boil. Add the mud crab. Wait till it changes colour. Take out. In a separate bowl mix oil and lemon. Cut up your crab and pour the lemon mix onto the crab. END OF STORY.

[@thatfalzonfamily]

thank you my friend I will try it out next time 😊

[@chalkss]

Always clean my crabs. Way better flavour.

[@CoopersFishing683]

Heyyy lukee

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Hey copper, how are you?

[@CoopersFishing683]

@@thatfalzonfamily good!! Love watching your videos

[@lukefalzon]

I’m glad bro

[@timroberts69]

Pretty much what you did is the best way to cook mud crab. Some people prefer no garlic, and some do. Also learn to tie a mud crab (some people use rubber bands) and keep it alive until you drop it in the pot. It's no less humane than using a knife. But you did magnificently Lukey mate. You plans sound great too.

[@thatfalzonfamily]

It was super yum! Does tying and boiling alive change the taste at all? Thank you!

[@andreajenkins2545]

@@thatfalzonfamily Geez don’t be so cruel would you like to be boiled alive.

[@timroberts69]

@@thatfalzonfamily I'm not sure whether it changes the taste, it just means the crab is fresher, especially in Cairns where the heat is a factor and if you don't have any ice and it takes a while from killing to cooking. Fresher is always best. Everyone has their own way which is always "the best". You can just practice and experience more great mud crab.

[@CLFS]

If it's alive I will boil or steam it whole if it's been dead for over 8 hours I gut and steam it

[@thatfalzonfamily]

cheers for the heads up 😊
