Fried Soft Shell Crab & Shrimp Po' Boy Recipe

[@ivoryfyall4231]

That's my kind of comfort food toooo😋😋😋 Much love from NYC 🗽

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Man, those look absolutely AMAZING!! Can't say I've ever had soft shell crab but not sure I'd want to here being that I'm as far as one can possibly be from an ocean, LOL!! Definitely something to try though when I go back to the coast! And gonna have to try breading with just water next time. Never woulda thunk that would be the way to go. Now pass that shrimp po boy on over here!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Jason! Yeah, if you can't get the crabs live, then I doubt they would be anywhere close in flavor as fresh, but be sure to try them when you make it to the coast! I was actually very surprised with the water technique, and if it had not worked out like it did, then this video would still be on hold, lol ;) Thanks again brother!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Loved the intro Rus! That was one big Azz loaf of French bread to man!!! Killer Po' Boy and a great video!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Greg! I appreciate it brother! :)

[@chefkendranguyen]

Nice, man, Po' Boys one of the best sandwiches out there.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you, and yes they are! I just love them :)

[@junklovers]

that's my kinda comfort too(the shrimp po' boys), i've never had soft shell crab,i'll have to try them,i've only had crab legs and love them.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

If you ever get a chance, give the soft shell crabs a try. I just love them! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@seawrightstudios]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ They are fantastic!!

[@pacluv]

This looks soooooooo good. I like the shrimp po boy better. I never had soft shell crabs before, but anything fried looks goods. And those tomatoes, omg I wish I could come through the screen and eat them I'm drooling right now. Wish I was there as you're cooking this. Your wife is a very lucky woman.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+pacluv Thank you so much, I really appreciate you watching and thank you for the awesome comments 😊

[@toms.3977]

Remoulade is also my wife's favorite sauce to put on boudin balls and seafood. Fancy that. Great job, Rus. Makes me wish I had a soft shell crab poboy to munch on. Never got to try one down in south Louisiana.

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

thats looking so good....good job on those sammies

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Ray! I appreciate it :)

[@mariondudek564]

Soft shell crabs are worth every penny! Love the flour/water technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Marion Dudek Yes they are. I absolutely love them. I was really impressed with using just water and flour. Really surprised me the first time I tried it :)

[@VikkyAthina]

Thank you for sharing the recipe and the tips on the frying process. it makes a massive difference!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Your welcome!

[@7reze]

Whoa, great baguette! Simple and for sure delicious

[@DCV321]

OMG! That looked sooo good! I'm going to have to move to Louisiana! Can't get any softies around here, but I will get some cottonseed oil and try out that flouring technique on some shrimp right away! Thanks for the video, and I'm subscribing.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Great video Rus! That intro was top notch buddy. Can't believe you found soft shell crab this time of year. Lucky dog!!!! I'd better hit the hay before Karen gets mad at me for frying up some seafood this late! LOL

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Troy! I've been wanting soft shell crabs for over a month now, and I called the seafood market that I normally shop at, and he told me no luck, so I called the one right down the road that has a bunch of A holes working there, and low and behold if they didn't have these little guys, lol! So I took a quick trip down there, and nabbed them before they were gone. Thanks again brother, and don't make Karen mad ;)

[@SolidDragonUK]

I think I've stumbled across the most wonderful group of Southern/country Americans. I see you and T-roy and everyone else making these wonderful BBQ, comfort and good old fashioned American hearty food. I love cooking and share an enthusiasm for the art, I have a keen interest in European cuisine (being from the UK) and its amazing to see how much your ancestors through each individual state has amalgamated or even unified their techniques and traditions into making some of the most mouth watering delicious and often beautifully simple recipes like this absolute classic you've presented us with. I would wholeheartedly welcome such fantastic and creative dishes in my fair kingdom with open arms and its only a matter of time before dishes like yours make it over the pond. Subbed.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks so much for the comments! I really enjoyed reading them, and thank you so much for subbing :)

[@nessuno9945]

Thanks for the coating tip using cold water! I always used self-rise flour to make a slurry, then folded-in frothed egg whites, your outcome looks the same, but with less fuss! I've got some crabs, and will try it😊

[@foodjazz]

Loved the intro! Rus,you are a seafood master! Those Po' Boys are the real deal, and I've gotta try that water breading method! Thanks so much for the shout out, my friend!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Karen! I wasn't sure what I was trying to do with that intro, but it kinda worked, lol. The water breading method really surprised me! I've been going about it the hard way all this time, and these turned out really good with this method. You are more than welcome for the shout out, and I hope I can send some people your way. You have a great channel, with some awesome recipes! Happy New Year Karen :)

[@KraysQue]

Those look great Rus, man I could scarf down on of those for breakfast and the other one for lunch. Good Good. thanks for sharing that breading technique gonna try it.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you K-Ray! The breakfast of champions, lol ;)

[@tomstestkitchen]

I also loved the intro Rus, great tip with the water. I have never had soft shell crab, might have to change that.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Tom! If you ever get a chance to eat fresh (live crab) soft shell crab, then by all means do! It's a wonderful treat. Yeah, I do a lot of fried seafood, and I wish I would have known about just using water years ago.

[@007bondjb]

I need to spend time watching Y'all cook, Cooking & making vids keeps me hooked up

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for watching JB!

[@Vlad122982]

Ooohh Mylanta !!! I'd break-wind in church for one of those Po'Boys.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

LMAO! Thanks man! :D

[@alanac.almond458]

🍻😹

[@FlossingTrades]

That just put me in the mood for a Po' Boy! I love the water Idea!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I was definitely in a Po' Boy mood the day I made these. Mmmm mmm good! The water method is great! Won't be doing them any other way from here on out :)

[@FlossingTrades]

Wow! I'll have to try it then, for sure!

[@michaeldean9338]

@ SMOKEY RIBS /// Man...You have me me crawling the walls over here! The soft-shell crab just looked incredible! Great job... And thanks.

[@getoutandgrill]

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you Chris! I hope you are feeling better brother!

[@countroshculla]

Yum. I have never had soft shell crabs before but I do love crab meat. Your sandwiches look delicious.

[@irelandtuckerson9158]

Hey there, just love your cooking. I am from New Orleans. Where do you get your daily hot French Bread from? Is it Leidenheimer Baking Co.? Is it ordered from New Orleans? When you cut into it, it was so crunchy. I knew it was fresh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! while

[@elainjones9442]

Looks delicious I'm trying this recipe

[@teampenn2007]

Sir, you have done well. Those are my kind of sandwiches.

[@cajunsmoon]

Great recipe Rus! Love the water tip...

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you Cynthia, and yes, just plain water. I had no idea they would turn out that good, but I can't see my self doing them any other way now :)

[@barbbarbie2555]

Beautiful tomatoes. Must be beefsteak. Now I want to try soft shell crab!

[@michaellmikeyymike]

Rus that looks so good, that is heaven! you have the ability to make me hungry even after I finish eating.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Michael! I appreciate it brother :)

[@twotwocold]

The cold water method is so that the flour sticks and doesn't flake off! A better way is to make a seasoned cold batter i put ice cubes in as well; keep it refrigerated until use. Water & garlic salt onion powder etc... mix while cool keep cold until use that's no secret... This is used to fry chicken whatever you can put flour on my .02!

[@BCBrown-ej2di]

Man, that soft shell crab poboy looks awesome. I live right down the road from Bozos in Pascagoula and get these all of the time. Yours looks better though! I think I will order some frog bone sauces and try this at home. Looks simple to make.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Pascagoula is my hometown. I was raised about 4 or 5 lots down from Bozos. I still get by there every now and then for their crawfish when I don't feel like boiling my own. Got to love a good soft shell po'boy!

[@lxmorales1]

Wow looks great

[@zekelucente9702]

Looks great I like pickles.

[@vicebrutmeister]

+WannaBite Your welcome, thank you for watching :)

[@lajuennethomas218]

Your sandwiches look amazing. I noticed you put the whole crab on the sandwich. So can you really eat the shell of the legs and claws??? That has been my question that no one seems to answer. I know you can eat the body in the shell , but need answer for the legs and claws Is is soft and not crunchy.. Please , than you

[@DougEsWhurl]

Awesome! ❤️👍🏾

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+DougEs Whurl Thank you

[@heavenlypurple1]

Those are delicious, the best comfort food! We make fried chicken that same way but we marinade the chicken the in salt and pepper for awhile. It makes a difference when using fresh seafood though, better than buying it frozen.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yes, they are delicious, and I totally agree! Fresh seafood is way better than frozen. I'm glad I live right here on the coast. Getting fresh seafood is just a few minutes away for me. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@princesszhorne]

Thank Uuuuuuu! The cold water worked PERFECTLY 😙😚😘😙😗

[@thinkwhatyoulikeidontcare2902]

[@mimithomas69]

Wow! I was looking to do something different for my husband bday this is amazing.

[@thegoatman62]

Great Video! I will have to find out when SoftShell Crab season is here in North Central Florida, I have never given them a try, they sure looked Good!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you! Being in Central Florida, you should be able to get them from the Gulf, and the Atlantic side. The Atlantic side season is a little shorter, but the crabs are just as good. Just make sure you get the fresh. :)

[@SwAiLoVeMoDz]

Oh my god That looks so goodddd!!!!

[@kevinbuss3705]

Awesome sandwiches!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you Kevin! The soft shell crabs and the shrimp were just so dang good!

[@starboushe]

That looks amazing. :)

[@AussieAngeS]

I have never had soft shell crab or ever seen them cooked up before Rus so I'm missing out on a lot LOL. Damn those Po boys look mighty sensational. I'll have to go wipe up the floor now, thanks very much haha. Fantastic video!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

LOL Angie about you drooling on the floor! If you ever get a chance to eat fresh soft shell crab, then DO! It is just amazing! Thanks so much Angie :)

[@AussieAngeS]

[@patrickcamp2289]

Took your advice about the Food Jazz channel - thanks!

[@shaggyrumplenutz1610]

My dad used to have a small soft-shelled crab business. Wish I had known about this back then.

[@fisherman3720]

I got to tell you one thing I love shrimp I absolutely love shrimp but... soft shell crab ummmmmmmmmm hmmmm!!! There ain't nothing like it brother!!! Btw, Pennsylvania loves Smoky ribs!!!

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

Rus, just discovered your channel and enjoying the videos (brings me back to my NOLA days.) You've probably learned this by now but the Scovie awards are indeed held in Albuquerque, NM. They're usually right around the time that they have their Balloon Festival (early October.)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+RobdaVegasMailman Hey, glad you found my channel! Being raised here on the Mississippi coast so close to New Orleans, there is a big influence from that style of cooking and flavors, and to me there is just nothing that can compare, but I am partial lol! Keith from Frog Bone Cajun Sauces went back to the Scovie awards again in 2015. Not sure if he will be there this year or not.

[@lajuennethomas218]

Can you eat all the shell legs and claws?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yes, on a soft shell you can. Delicious

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. I appreciate you watching the videos :)

[@Vivicci.x]

I’m not a seafood person at all but Rhett and Link from good mythical morning were doing sandwiches from every state and they talked about the soft shell crab Po boy enough I had to see what it looked like 😂😂 you made it all look very nice !

[@theninjacat7200]

Oh my...Gotta subscribe to this channel!

[@mfreeman2696]

I loved your video, for some reason it was really entertaining watching you cook and talk. If I were to make a suggestion or recommendation to help boost the quality of you videos. I would say that you should add footage of you eating your sandwich. Don't ask me why, people just like to see other people react positively to a good home cooked meal.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you so much! I also appreciate your input on what you would like to see as far as trying and eating the sandwich. I actually do that on many of my videos, but I need to make sure I do them on all of them. Thanks again :)

[@FelisDestructicus]

[@SmokeyGoodness]

Whaddya think my chances are of finding that Frog Bone tartar sauce around here Rus? It looks really good. The Po' Boys look like winners, and the Tastemade bag looks familiar! hehehe.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Dan finding Frog Bone tartar sauce up there is only a few clicks away, lol! www.frog-bone.com The Po' Boy's rocked, and they sure made my kitchen smell good too, hehehe! Yeah, I was trying to figure away to utilize the Tastemade bag into the video. I was wondering who all was going to recognize it, hehehe ;)

[@michaeldean9338]
