I am the guy at the end! I am so happy and honored! I feel like I’ve peaked. Thank you Taku and Jocelyn! The crab was delicious!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Good to meet you, man! Glad you got to try

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Haha that was so cool. Loved your guy’s reaction. :)

[@brightswiss]

@@OutdoorChefLife thank you Taku! My wife and I were so giddy and told everyone about it afterwards hahaha! And you bet we are going to share this video as well!

[@matthewshirley4297]

This is so cool....Taku you are definitely a well known name in our house.... super stoked for your van and endless adventures now....super cool seeing fans of the channel on her randomly, makes it seem more real/personal.

[@arieldanielle23]

Hah! I would probably have been about 12x more awkward but it definitely wouldn't have stopped me from at least saying hello. Also I just want to eat crab all day every day. I find the cost offensive.

[@threengcircus]

Taku: there's three ingredients to this recipe. Also Taku: there are 15 other ingredients to this recipe. 😂

[@aquaviii]

More Flavor lol

[@RoyalLineageLLC]

[@trish387]

True. 3 must have and 15 enhancements

[@davidblindell2451]

What a cool fan interaction at the end there. Probably made his month

[@brightswiss]

Year!

[@k-nick97]

Taku, I'm curious if you have ever considered compiling some of your best and/or favorite dishes from the show into an Outdoor Chef Life cookbook. I love reading cookbooks to learn how different ingredients are used and how different people treat them for different purposes, and of course the food is great too. I know I'd definitely consider picking one up. So many of your dishes look amazing, this one included (and I'm sure they taste as good as they look).

[@alexs_33]

Chili crab and black pepper crab are classic Singaporean crab recipes. I'm glad to hear you and Jocelyn are loving it! I recommend trying to make salted egg yolk dungeness crab for your next recipe!. It's also one of the popular crab dishes here too: it's sweet, savoury, yolk-ey and has a hint of curry leaf spice to it. Really good too! Don't forget to eat crab with fried mantou buns if you can make them or rice, since they pair pretty well with the sauces. Enjoy! Cheers and greetings from Singapore!

[@lohyubin1236]

I second that, BP Crabs are great with rice and a sunny side egg on top. Besides Salted Egg Yolk Crab, You can also try Steamed Crab with Sake and Mirin and Ginger. Greeting from Singapore as well.

[@timberwolfe338]

"There are some people who say that black pepper is TOO spicy." Jocelyn from the TOP ROPE LMAOOO

[@juliusvaisnora4597]

Taku, pleeeaaase do more US exploring with your new van. kayak fishing/crabbing is boring as hell. wish you all the best!

[@Screamingtut]

Taku, I just read the article about crabbing in San Fran waters. Which you were featured in it as the main person as a Sushi Chef and c recreational crabber, it was a really good article. Also nice photo

[@Screamingtut]

boy everyone liked my comment about your article. I enjoy all your videos Taku.

[@whackadoodle1]

I know this video is a year old, but I just have to say how much I enjoy all of your videos. You make me want to try fishing again, something that I haven’t done since I was a girl. I tend to watch a lot of politics on KZbin and you’ve become my go to when I need to break from that for a while. Love the catch as well as the cook!

[@AddictedFishing]

That crab looked so delicious!! Gonna have to try that recipe. 🤤

[@justkeepfishingt]

👍

[@zdefran]

The first time I had fresh Dungeness crab was in Seattle. The restaurant offered three ways to serve it, one of which was “Julia Child’s style (cold with mayonnaise and lemon juice). I was surprised how good it was, usually wary of mayonnaise. Btw, your show really kept me occupied and happier during the quarantine days. Thank you!

[@kaywhy2665]

So lovable, genuine and wholesome. You deserve the greatest career on KZbin and hopefully more. You should have a tv show.

[@BobMarley-bo7sq]

You know it’s going to be great video when you like it before watching !

[@ejwiticeisnice8157]

oh ya buddy, it’s a good day when taku uploads. proud subscriber for 4 years and counting

[@garyblack2858]

Cool ending! Subscribers strolling the beach stop by for a taste of black pepper crab.

[@nickmcgarvey6463]

My man, this is a major go-to dish in Malaysia! You can find it almost anywhere coastal and it never fails to blow your mind with amazing flavor. Excellent choice.

[@matthewshirley4297]

That crab looks so good.... it's awesome seeing random people stopping by and trying your food!!

[@corbfisher]

Best subscription I've ever done! Man, that looked good. We used to cook it similarly with garlic black bean sauce and a little ginger with some onion and bell pepper. I like your method for catching them by snaring. You are truly embracing a more 'mobile' type of lifestyle; "lets do what works in a minimalist sort of way, forget the 100 lbs of other gear we would normally take". 😊

[@nomadhomad3685]

I'm so glad everyone is getting on that crab action! I've been limiting each time right on the beach since opener up here. I recommend initially boiling the dungies in some OJ with onions. You can skip the onions, but the OJ really accentuates the meat's sweetness while not masking the crab flavor.

[@YaMomsBitchhhhh]

I prefer equal parts water and oj but yessir I wish people wouldn’t be scared of orang juice for seafood 😂🤣 whether simple coil or like a Cajun boil it really adds flavor without overpowering

[@nomadhomad3685]

@@YaMomsBitchhhhh my man! I deff dilute the further North I go (I find them naturally sweeter there for some reason). But yes! Try soaking shrimp/crawfish meat in the riches OJ you can find with soysauce and Sriracha, then quickly batter (mix dry seasoned batter flour with some OJ added) and fry them. Pure heaven.

[@aquaviii]

I would never thought of Orange Juice lol

[@OutdoorChefLife]

OJ?! That’s weird. I’ll make a video of trying that. Crab cooked in salt water vs. OJ. blind taste test.

[@nomadhomad3685]

@@aquaviii I only had OJ in my cooler one outing (drank all my water), and haven't gone back to water since.

[@gearlist]

Good stuff! Really cool to see everybody's perspective that day and of course, dish looks 🔥

Another all time fav! My nephew lives right there.... luv you guys

[@zekelucente9702]

Ok Chef this is my favorite so far! Bravo.

[@chichibangbang3667]

I could almost taste the black pepper sauce. Looks good. You kept on saying "hoisin sauce" while cooking. Glad you correctly said oyster sauce at the end

[@thelinecook]

That was so nice of you to offer them some crab!! I loved their reaction. I think everyone here agrees that it’s safe to say that if you were to stumble upon the van right when you finished a catch and cook, it would be like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow 😂. Loved this video 👍👍

[@dubbrx]

Back when I was a kid in San Jose we had something similar, they called it “black bean crab”. I miss that place !

[@wrangyswreef1404]

Yeessssss more crab content!! Looked absolutely amazing mate!!

[@jersonpablo2386]

I have to try this recipe, this is a simple but yet delicious fresh Dungeness crabs recipe ,.. i bet this will enjoy by my folks and family 😋

I wish I could live like this man. Much respect and love been following you for a minute and look forward to each and every update.

[@ChrisPfish2]

Fun video Taku! That recipe looked so good I am going to try it for sure 🔥🔥 One of my favorites with the crab is cook it up, crack the meat out, sautéed it in some garlic butter, then grab a piece of salmon and turn it into pita pocket and stuff it with the crab. The drizzle the garlic butter over the salmon and cook it in the oven. That was great with the subscribers at the end as well! Great stuff!

[@selliott4468]

That looks delicious, I will try this recipe soon. Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching all your videos.

[@andydouglass1374]

I was expecting a battered and fried crab like the salt and pepper crab at R&G lounge (which is delicious in its own right), but your recipe looks really good too. I think it would work well with all kinds of seafood, and maybe served with noodles to pick up the rest of that sauce. We moved away from N. CA a while back and fresh dungies are one of the things I miss. Best crab in the world.

it looks really good

[@DrunkBuddha]

Fresh catch outdoor onthe spot .

[@AdventuresofTheGreatBanana]

My mother who is Taiwanese makes an incredible crab dish. It's curry based with ginger, scallions, garlic and coconut milk. The key here is that you cook the crab along with some thin rice noodles that soak up all the gravy and juices. Cook them all together. Soak the noodles in warm water before adding it to the crab. Serve in a big plate but be prepared to get messy :) I've had black pepper crab and chili crab but this by far is the best!

[@thecurrymaster]

Bun Rieu is my favorite thing to make with Dungeness Crab!

AWESOME VID LOVE IT!!!

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

One of the best fisheries I ever had when I was a kid when I was living in California was mackerel fishing catch tons of mackerel 50 mackerel a day or 50 mullet a day is the easiest fishery I didn't have to go far as I go in my own backyard and crabbing was awesome got a lot of small rock crabs five to seven inches limit was probably half a bucket full 10 was the limit

[@jgreen5849]

This reminds me of a black pepper crab recipe I had on the coast of Cambodia in Kep, where they produce really good pepper. Delicious and delicate. Will try to make this recipe if I ever catch a crab lol.

[@raymondmills9377]

A good friend and I were in London and we took a long subway ride so that she could get pepper crab. As always great job chef.

[@Sorrowsofthemoon]

You make crab look so amazing!! 🦀

Great video thanks for sharing . I have never seen the snares. i stuck my gopro into a crab trap which was pretty cool . i loved the way you cook them to. I bet they tasted amazing

[@bartribotta1118]

Green onion ginger is my favorite, also enjoy steamed crab with garlic and butter…..nice vid Taku

[@huntergourley8751]

This is awesome! I do something similar on the east coast for blue crabs with traps, I’ve been wanting to try it with snares because the season is open year round and they’re everywhere down here, gonna take this as inspiration to make it happen

[@kristopherreyes8638]

If I see taku out there I’m for sure dabbing my man’s up and takin a claw 🤣🤣🤣🤣 mouth watering food always

[@DrickWW]

Awesome video as always! The little guy caught at the 10-min mark is a Graceful Crab, also known as a Slender Crab. It is a relative of the Dungeness but is smaller and has hints of purple coloration on the legs.

[@scarroll413]

Awesome Taku and Jocelyn! For crab recipe ideas, would love to see a Durban-style/South Indian crab curry!

[@justinmccreedy1496]

Hey Taku! I'm curious, whats your favorite part, catching a fish or cooking/preparing it? Also just wanted to say I love your videos so much. They've inspired me to move somewhere on the coast once I graduate college. I live in Colorado and its great here but I'm landlocked. I would really enjoy being able to catch, forage and grow all my food. Keep doing what you're doing man. Much love.

[@jamespaik3088]

Brother you are absolutely amazing 🙏

[@bebeturtle]

Gotta try your recipe on my next catch! My fav was to first steam the crabs Til they r cooked. Then on the side, heat up some butter or regular oil, add minced or chopped garlic and stir fried til it turns golden color, and add Yeo’s Satay Sauce ( the amount is up to u. Usually is half a bottle with 2 crabs ) with a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt…. Lastly thickening the sauce with cornstarch. ❤️🤤

[@Ejpastor32]

Dam I love the food! That looks amazing 🤩

[@harrymiram6621]

In Hawaii, we have spanner crab. Locals call it Kona crab. When am able to get hands on one, or two, like to either plain steam or cook w/black bean, garlic & green onion. Cooked similar to this Dungeness video but sub out Kona crab. Watching this has me DROOLING on my phone screen!...Keep Videos Coming!
