I'm watching this video because I might be going to red lobster for the first time

[@stephenpaea177]

As a vegetarian I never ate crab 🦀 before I’m white went to Red Lobster being made fun of My Asian peers, “You’re an American you don’t know how to eat crab...oh you’re a vegan, never mind.” Very racist very rude Asian people.

Them cheddar biscuits are the best thing Red Lobster ever came up with.

[@Samsungsamsung-ec5gl]

Yes they are, and pretty much the only thing I will eat from Red Lobster. The rest of it is really poor quality food.

[@Plumbusss]

I love crab, I went to red lobster for my 25th bday this year and got snow crab legs, so good. It had been so long since I ate crab legs so I had to re learn how to crack the legs in the right way so you get big chunks or meat instead of tiny pieces when you butcher it lol.

Dude I used to be now I’m not. I still take my Benadryl b4 I eat it tho

[@chocolatebar3468]

I used to go to red lobster all the time and I always used to order the crab legs and dip them in the warm butter omg they taste so good!

[@tomboyd3433]

Their legs are like rubber because they boil them, rather than steam their crabs; also very salty. Good shellfish is always sweet...good luck cracking them though... As u can see the rep had a tuff time getting the claw out in 1 piece...When u cook them right they come out easily, no struggle...

[@silvereagle90000]

How long does it take to steam them? Specifically snow crab?

[@tomboyd3433]

silvereagle90000 15 min or a bit less... Don't add ANY seasonings, just a little water to a boil...then when cooked get ur butter n lemon ready... to get a nice thicker buttery sauce add 1/2 teaspoon flour or cornstarch to 2 sticks cold butter as u slowly warm it up on simmer...keep whisking till no more flour... u have to whisk it as it slowly melting, otherwise if u don't break the flour or cornstarch it'll turn clumpy... at its melting point u can also add fresh squeezed lemon juice n keep stirring till smooth

[@silvereagle90000]

TOM BOYD I'll try steaming them tomorrow and see if customers like that more. I work in a restaurant and we boil our crab legs. The advantage to boiling is that it takes only 2-3 minutes and the seasoning cooks into it. What's the advantage of adding flour/cornstarch to butter? Does it taste better?

[@SakuraaaHarmony]

TOM BOYD I used to work at red lobster and they definitely steam the crab legs.

[@dmotta2811]

awesomegirl5 you might break your teeth

[@wejam57]

Even this chef doesn't know how to eat crab!!!!! Start at the small tip, break the joint and snatch, the meat in the next section should come with the cartileges, if it is cooked properly. Move to the next joint, break and snatch. If the meat does not come when you get to the big section the snatch should free the cartilages and some of the meat. At this point move to the middle of the big section and break in the middle. You should able to pull the remaining meat out intact if it is cooked properly. As a side note if meat is not free, take one prong of your fork and use it like an old fashioned can opener to open the leg. If performed properly the only meat you should ever have to pick is the knuckle or the body.

[@ShawnIvenderSims]

You think you would do this and put it on a plate for your customers 😂😂

If you want to find a truly brave person, go to a Red Lobster in the middle of Kansas (or any state a thousand miles from the ocean) and there you go!

I had snow crab at Red Lobster yesterday and it had hardly any meat. The juice was not worth the squeeze 🙁

she fucked up breaking the claw, you can see the bone she left inside. If you crack the claw sideways and the whole bone comes out from the inside every time.

[@malisahughes4479]

That the right way

[@ktray2677]

I'm slightly disappointed as the crab legs aren't properly cleaned. You can see the green murky stuff on the knuckle. To intentionally make a video as rep for a restaurant, I would think they would have prioritized using clean food.

Wrong! Those white string looking things on the smaller piece will hold the bigger legs meat together. Crack at bottom part of leg and pull out meat all in one piece. Easy
