TIME FOR CRABS! Season Opener Catch and Cook

[@Gyaa.]

I love Dungeness crab. So blessed to live on the BC coast. Get them whenever.

[@NoodlesExtraMSG]

I love watching Taku at dinner time. Tricks my brain into thinking my pedestrian cooking is as good as why my eyes see.

[@RussianzFight]

his girlfriend should give him a hand when cooking. all she does is watch him and free load lol

[@alluringgrace413]

Same, happens when I watch Gordon Ramsay as well! 🤣

[@tzujuju8716]

LOL pedestrian cooking! i love that

[@chiewsaetern2182]

Gordon Ramsy 🤢🤢

[@CSmystik]

Lmao so true! Literally eating my cup of ramen while watching this… my brain’s doing the work of converting my ramen into crab meat… T_T

[@richardcarabio998]

Your persistence from skunk to feast was really great. You always work hard and still have time to prepare and share with your friends. Thank you Taku for sharing and caring 🙏

[@hankremer6606]

Taku relaxes me. Thank you sir.

[@ShacksOutdoorAdventures]

Taku you are a trooper in that rain!

[@cameronbaird7645]

Really enjoy the quality variety on this channel. Some videos are filmed so perfectly and edited to perfection with music and such. Other times it’s nice to see Taku go back to the bare bones style of most fishing catch & cook channels on KZbin with just a go pro. You the man Taku

[@chewieonyaboot5172]

Many things amaze me about Taku, but one of the most impressive is how much gear he unfailingly manages to stow onto his kayak without sinking himself!

[@lisasievers6999]

right?? I'm thinking, where the hell are those pots going??

[@divinebluesky]

So glad that there are Dungeness crabs still out there.

[@geothunder1971]

You just cannot compare previously frozen store-bought Dungeness crab to fresh caught, it's on a whole other level. Just another thing I miss about NorCal, crab season! 🦀🦀🦀🦀

[@marcoapinedajr]

Your videos are keeping my spirits up while in the hospital. You’re the man Taku!! Let’s see some crab fried rice 🦀 🍚

[@Chang707]

Hope you feel better man! Taku helped me through some dark times and I’m glad he can do the same for you

[@kassilynw]

Wishing you physical, mental, and spiritual health, Marco! ❤

[@johndonahue4777]

Crabbers Virginia keep a cut down boat hook on the gunwale to snag the crab pot cork. A even shorter handled one might be worth having in a kayak so you don't have to maneuver so much or go around. Or lean out of the boat. You could keep it by your feet on the ceiling. Taku really knows how to live. There's always a little chaos going on that is funny.

[@TheOriginalArchie]

I've lived my whole live in New York, a city dweller, and I wish I could experience a day like that. Crabbing in a kayak on some smooth water, on a calm foggy day. That last bite he took, dipped in the head butter (I think they call it?) with the chili flakes!!! That would beat any vacation I've ever been on.

[@chrisw9629]

Never too late to make it happen!

[@alinchitown7556]

Dude there’s plenty of crabbing both on the Hudson and the Jersey Shore. We used to go down to Tom’s River NJ and comeback with garbage cans full of Blue Claws.

[@WillyFish]

Taku, make a knife stencil and spray paint those onto the buoys! Nothing better than fresh crabs on the beach!!! 🦀🦀

[@luciad5988]

You are so fortunate to be able to catch such prized crabs! It’s fun for me to watch, as I’m in a non coastal state. Plus I love crab!

[@trees21]

Wdup taku! I’ve been a viewer for many years. My friend caught some dungees last weekend from bodega bay and gave me a couple. Made crab ramen following your past video and damn….was the best ramen I’ve ever made. Made my wife very happy! Appreciate you! Stay up brother.

[@xGRASHOPAx]

I'm so glad it started raining in NorCal finally

[@DoviFocus]

Look up Vietnamese “Cua Rang Me”, it is a stir fry crab recipe and it brings out such a flavorful aroma of the crab. It would be delicious to add your Kelp Chili Crisp!

[@chiewsaetern2182]

You said vietnamese all i gotta say is bun bo hue or pho DAC biet 😂😂

[@therevanchist2869]

Who's Cua? And why did he ring you?

[@DoviFocus]

@@therevanchist2869 ah the usual distasteful mocking of a foreign language, from a person who most likely isn’t educated enough to broaden their own intellectual understanding of the “bigger world” around them, while watching a video produced by someone who actually embodies culture and inclusion. Thanks for taking a couple seconds out of your day to be ignorantly “funny”. Kudos to you my friend.

[@schlaznger8049]

I love this a simple boil and nothing taken away from the flavor. Served with warm lemon garlic butter....damn

[@ozzleoni6609]

Spicy curry crab stewed in coconut milk with crab-fried rice all day. Nice job, cool shirt!

[@bobbysantiago5783]

That looks like a great time. Rain and all. Lol. 👍

[@rasmuspoulsen3434]

I really like the community spirit while fishing

[@RobotLegJim]

😂Taku’s friends are the BEST fed friends on this platform!😂

[@noodles6175]

Still waiting for the day you finish your beer in that first glorious, refreshing opening sip of a job well done. Almost halfway before! :)))

[@boostlee5236]

Crabbing was my favorite thing to do on the west coast. So tasty

[@litohipo]

my mouth is watering just watching you guys feast on those crabs straight out of the pot.

[@Anthony-fc4jl]

Love all your new stuff too but videos like this remind me of OG Outdoor Chef Life uploads. Only suggestion is more Uni catch and cooks.

[@mdevil12]

Heck yeah, Taku! Crab fishing from the kayak is always a good time!

[@jaykinersly5142]

Nice Video Taku......I like that raining beer chug too. I give you a 7 on the Taku Beer Chug Meter

[@hersheythao]

Just another midwesterner here dreaming of living that coast life.

[@ashmomofboys]

New subscriber! Just began full time van life and these videos have been gold. I’ve made some amazing food in my van!! Thank you!!!

[@rickylee6129]

AWESOME Video Taku 📹 👏 👌 👍. Nice crab 🦀 😋

[@louisng7539]

There's a seafood restaurant in HK from my childhood that used to be a resort hotel. Still there today actually. Back in the 70s, they used to keep a live monkey in a cage at the driveway entrance. It's pretty inhumane. So they don't do that any more, but I still remember my mom telling me to wave to the monkey. What you do, is buy the good stuff from the nearby dock area live seafood stores and bring it to the restaurant. We always make sure to include a few crabs. BECAUSE - they make this amazing crab butter sticky rice dish that's the most fragrant, ocean-y, and crabby thing you can imagine. I think the sticky rice is steamed with the crab butter + lots of garlic + green onions, and may be shallots. Then served with the rest of the crab on top. The moment the dish arrives at the table, you get immediately blasted by pepper spray - if they made pepper spray out of crab butter. Gotta love crab. Yes. I tend to overeat at that restaurant... Can't wait to visit HK again.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

My favorite seafood hands down! Nice catch & cook Buddy!

[@jodybasconcillo749]

Aloha Taku! You got me fired up. Going crabbing with the bruddahs for some Samoan Crabs (Hawaii Mud Crab). Make some dungy crab chowder. I might try too. Question is New England or Manhattan style? 🦀🎣🍻🤙🏽

[@mrpanders]

love when you in the bay hitting the spots catching some good eats...stay good tako...you do inspire amigo..love your content and love to see the creative mind you bring to your channel...always will be watching.....stay eating good and cheers

[@NoodlesExtraMSG]

Also, with all the doom and gloom of Alaskan season being cancelled for commercial crabbers, its nice to see wild life still flourishing. Lets hope those crabs keep making delicious future generations.

[@icy_mathematician827]

I believe that only applies to King Crab, other species of crab like dungeness are fine

[@NoodlesExtraMSG]

@@icy_mathematician827 thanks for clarifying

[@tonyhoang987]

@@icy_mathematician827 the 11 billion crabs was specifically for snow crabs in Alaska but there are similar news stories talking about dungeness crab dieoffs

[@victorlui5955]

Hi Taku. For the dungy crabs!!! 😊🍻🍺

[@ZacMoss23]

Never stops being a great show!

[@kickinitwithkaren]

It looks cold and wet! But the CRAB!!! The CRAB! It looks so good!

[@joesimpson3347]

You are a lucky man beer and fresh crab reminds me of my younger years in the northwest !

[@TheKiman2]

I like baking dungeness over boiling. Smother crabs in Chinese five spice and pop them in the oven. So yummy.

[@AznBballKid22]

Vibes unmatched. Thanks for the uploads Taku

[@momlikesmemore]

When Taku eats, he always makes me hungry! Please make Garlic Chili Crab, yum-o.

[@burningmanmike]

Nice catch! I got my limit yesterday off Hammond, OR. About a 1/2 lb of sweet meat per crab! Crab cakes!

[@daovang9897]

Love the video and most of all love your energy and bright energy! Skunk out on opening day but hope to go out and get some crabs soon

[@Bunnybubbles]

This is so chill. Thank you for sharing!

[@Sythyn30]

First off long time subscriber here and love your videos an what you do! Dungeness crab is my favorite crab even over King crab. You asked for recipe ideas so here goes. Being a Louisiana boy we love our crawfish boils but you can do it with pretty much any crustacean. We add all kinds of things to our boils and you like to mushroom forage and they are awesome in the boils. They soak up all that seasoning! Onion halves, potatoes, sausage, whole cloves of garlic, mushrooms, corn on the cobb, bay leaves, oranges, and lemons are mainstays but I have seen all sorts of things added to it. Lately though I have been seeing videos where they do these Cajun Vietnamese seafood boils with this spicy garlic butter sauce. Just search it up to find a recipe for it and I am sure you will add your own Taku twist to it. They look so delicious but seafood boils are no small affair so you could do a subscriber invite for it! I am way down here in Louisiana so couldn't make it but would love to see some NW folks enjoy a taste of Louisiana! Stay blessed you two and keep the vids coming! 💯👍

[@blakehanna1343]

TAKU YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO SATISFYING BRO

[@david-iam]

Super jelly of all you guys pulling up fresh Dungeness. Makes me want to drive up there to do the same. LOL Keep up the great content Taku.

[@michaelsfabwork2985]

Looks like a lot of fun. I love the channel i found you back in august when i was looking up fishing in Alaska. Been watching every week. I learn a lot from your cooking. Take care and stay safe.

[@drunkdogartwork4016]

I live in Arizona and wish I could just go catch some. So instead heading to the market first thing and getting some live crab. Love your videos!

[@karnalove4239]

We always used big class when we could claim dig...store them in freezer in a batch until we can use them...Crack them before you put them in the bait bo...if we didn't have clams...we used chicken backs...Mom always cut up our own chickens for the freezer...

[@anasevi9456]

I wish it was always Time for Crabs, they may pinch; but they are so damn delish!

[@MountainManMurphy]

Taku! Happy to see another video. This was a great one!

[@toucheethao6300]

If I lived on the west coast, I fish and crab everyday! Maybe pho with crab, or khapoon with crab?

[@joesavage4905]

Use to go hoop netting for lobsters … lots of fun. Didn’t even need to go past break wall

[@Pixlanta]

Just subscribed , love your positive attitude and persistence❤❤❤❤

Loved it!! How about a crab fettuccine alfredo with butter, garlic, and parsley? Yum!!

[@chronicawareness9986]

you should one day as a joke make a video of you going to like a fast food place and eating a burger and fries and reviewing it lmao

[@beautifulflorida]

Wow! Nice catch! Thank you for your video!

[@MathiasGreenwalde]

I remember the time my family went to Oregon when I was younger and we went on a boat to fish and drop crab nets. Everyone who paid would split all the crab after 50% went to the company. Lets just say there was so much we all got 2 almost 3 large hefty bags of crab. They also par boiled them before we left. AMAZING crab cakes. Plus I always loved the fact that oysters were cheap as hell around that time 2008-2010. We would get 10ish dozen and eat most of them raw but some cooked on the grill. Still love oysters to this day but very expensive here in Arizona compared to Oregon.

[@briantransue4521]

I'm happy for you. I'd love to learn more about what equipment you use. Thanks

[@kevtlee08]

I went crab snaring for the second time in my life. The first time I skunk hard but this year was successful for me. Caught 3 males all over 6 inches which was dope since I wasn’t even sure if my handmade snares was going to even work.

[@fishycamper]

That was awesome! Now I'm hungry LOL. Can't wait to get out there and try it.

[@Fishergirl110]

the plant next to your left where you were boiling the crabs on the beach we have that plant all over nsw east coast of australia and its called " pig face " they produce a red fruit which is edible aswell as the green leaves. just double check its PIGFACE! awesome video taku well done

[@NoKaOiBoiInDa805]

How about making a collaboration video with Daddy Lau on the Made with Lau channel and let him cook up some of the crab with ginger and scallions Cantonese style. They are also in the bay area

[@jesusgallegos6772]

Thank you for sharing it looks very delicious 😋

[@divinebluesky]

A great workout with a tasty reward! I live near the beach in Seaside so I need to work up my courage to give this a try. Thank you for the inspiration 😁

Taku! Great videos man. Dungee’s are always bussin’. Putting a spoonful of the kelp chili in the crab head and use as a dipping bowl for the crab! 😋😋😋 if you haven’t tried, Thai style curry stir fried crab give it a shot. Definitely a must try

[@fishingwithdavid]

Mad work brother, nice easy video!

The recipes that I would recommend is I would like to see you make a seafood lasagna something that's different that'll get you out of your comfort zone I'm a chef and I have to cook different food all the time and sometimes it makes me go crazy because I have to cook stuff I've never made before but that's the best part of being a chef make a seafood crab lasagna

Love the videos, cant wait for next week!

I love dungeness crab but don't have it very often. Too expensive here on the East coast. How great would it be to go out and catch up to 10 for dinner. Wow!
