Indian River Blue Crabs

Blue Crabs, in this video we'll be back out on the Indian River Lagoon setting our Blue Crab Traps {Pots}. The last time we were there the crabs were full of meat {19 crabs = 2 lbs. of meat} so we were trying to get some more. After a nice day on the water we headed home with a nice mess of quality Blue Crabs. This time we decided to do a little experiment and cook some of the crabs without any spice so we could just taste the crab and compare the crabs with the ones cooked with all the spices. Catch and Cook

Yummy 😋 Sam and Joyce we had Louisiana Blue Crab 🦀 boil last night! 9 dozen! The smallest one was 7 inches across!!! 5 dozen were cleaned and boiled for 3 minutes then put on the grill low heat and saturated with garlic butter sauce every 10 minutes or so for about 40 minutes OMG soo very good. A great family get together and pretty much every crab 🦀 had a beautiful rusty bottom. Yummy Yummy Yummy 😋 Again thanks for sharing your recipes and crabbing adventures with us 😘😘😘🦀🦀🦀

[@marcopicchi2202]

My way to cook them!!!!First I put oil and garlic to boil and at once the meat of the crabs,then I add tomatoes sauce and with a bit of water I let everything to boil!!!At once it happens I add rice and everything will be ready in 20minutes and I garantee it's real tasty!!!!Now I really like this crabs and even this morning in my traps I found others 5,but right now over here is alarm,is emergency cause they are eating all our clams and those that work with are in great risk to lose their jobs!!!!I really don't know what it's gonna be in our italy🇮🇹!!!!Greetings to all of you

That's a great catch here in Australia we only boil the crabs in salt water we don't add any spices to it

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

When we were in Oregon that's how we cooked the Dungeness crabs we caught but that water came from the Pacific, a lot of the blue crabs we catch here come from brackish water and I don't think they would taste very good cooked in it. Always great to hear from Australia, Thanks for Watching

Hello again Sam and Joyce, I finally got chance to fish off my boat Friday on Lake Erie. We caught 19 Yellow Perch. Two of us in two and a half hours. We were near the Marblehead Lighthouse. Then on Saturday I made 4 guarts of refrigerator dill pickles. Thought I would share with you my love of fishing and food preparation...lol Till next time, peace and love.

I thought you could only use 2 pots per person? Looks like you had way more?

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

In Florida, you're allowed 5 per person. we could have set 10, but we usually set 7 because it gives us more room in our boat. Also, you have to have a special permit to set those commercial style traps. Thanks for watching our videos

[@rennyray11]

Have you all thought about putting zip ties on your traps when you put them out? That way you’ll know for sure if someone pulled them.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

I did it once then realized it was illegal because it prevents the trap from opening if it's lost. If I put degradable panels in it probably would be legal. You can do it with stone crab traps. Thanks for Watching

[@rennyray11]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I didn’t know it was illegal. I have seen it done in LA. It’s interesting because they will eat each other east before a lost pot would be discovered. Lol
