Been doing some research on cooking these and going to try them for the first time this year. Thanks for the video!

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

They are surprisingly quite good. My friend best described it tasted like a seafood cracker.

@@TomyTekOutdoors I’m excited man. Is it weird to say I’ve been craving something I’ve never had before? Lol

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

@@ctwells40 not at all. I was excited to try them. I have used them for bait for a long time and never thought about eating. After seeing someone else eat them. I had to give them a try. Make sure you rinse them well too get most of the sand out of them. Let me know what you think of them.

I had no idea these were edible. Great family! I enjoyed the video.

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

Thank you. We are going to try this again the next time we go to the OBX. I didn't either until I saw them eating sand fleas on a TV show. I was suprised how good they taste.

Wow lol this is like watching my nieces and nephews 🤣😁🤭🤭👀😍👍👍

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

It's great to watch this again. The kids are so big now. We are all fam in the video. Thanks for watching.

Smiling 😊 live this 👍🏼

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

It was a fun video to make. We are trying to plan another trip down there with the kids. I'll make the same video with the kids. I wonder if their reactions will be the same. They are much bigger now.

[@uniqhlooo]

this looks so fun!!

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

It was a fun trip.

Hello sir-we just met you at kiptopeke when launching our boat this evening. We landed a huge eel (over 30”) and a gar both in the dark. Should be interesting tomorrow. Nice sand flea video my man! New subscriber here ✌🏼

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

It was nice meeting you. I'm glad you caught something. That's a huge eel. I'm planning to go back in a few weeks. I'll check out your channel as well. I appreciate the support.

[@gardeningwithlola2889]

Looks like they were enjoying those sand bugs 🤣🤣🤣

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

They were delicious. Hope can join us on our next trip.

[@MarkEr-g8u]

Next, how to make a delicious chilli with a pound of deer ticks.....

[@Unsensitive]

Who needs to use em for bait..Just pan fry em up!

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

They are delicious. I can see why tog taste good. They eat a lot of these.

[@jamesbrown5262]

is it possible to peel them and just eat the meat?

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

There is not much meat in them. If you peeled them, there wouldn't be much of anything left. Thanks for watching.

[@IloveJellow]

They are soft shells.

[@CWF91461]

Fry them alive? When I was a girl, I used to catch them name them and then let them go... I guess frying them alive is no different than steaming crabs. How do you know that you can eat all of the sand flea? I mean you can't eat all of the crab

[@InfamousFishing]

Oh noooo 🙈

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

You gotta try em. They are delicious.

[@InfamousFishing]

@@TomyTekOutdoors 😑

[@thewiseguy3529]

They taste like nuggets lol 🤣

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

for the kids, everything tastes like a nugget 😂. I thought a seafood cracker was a better description of the taste.

[@jaynehiggy]

You could humanly kill them 1st instead of cooking them alive!! 🤬

[@wolfgangwarnock-johnston3004]

ong

[@ilikebutteredtoast2677]

You don't know how this works

[@Lycan0596]

Yes yes drown them in beer first then fry them up!

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

You're silly.

[@moobyworldmine]

I did hate seeing them fried alive, but we also boil crabs and lobsters alive...so...🤷‍♀️
