[@rtarrant1]

Sunday morning and this hits my feed…… bloody ripper.

[@TripInAVan]

Giddy up

[@pmrobertson]

Yummo, my mouth was salivating watching you cook the crab. Thanks for the video on how to prepare the crab also.

[@TripInAVan]

Thank you mate appreciate it

[@WarrenRorison-yb5ux]

Boil or steam crabs for about 8mins 3/4 cooked easy to get all meat out break up into small pieces, lightly coat with seasoned corn flour, dip in egg wash crumb n shallow fry . I add fresh coriander and chilies, salt n pepper. So dam nice. Try it out Good luck next time Cookin yhem this way even great cold on salad wraps whilst fishing. Been watching ya show for yrs now love every clip Keep up the great work and stay safe 😉

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks for the tips! I’ll try this first sure!! Was hard gettin into our green

[@Matt-my1bh]

Next time for your crab nuggets try Mary macs batter from supermarket, pull crab meat already cooked much easier than green, mix in some fresh chilli hot or mild but remove seeds and a handful of chopped shallots, chuck it all in the batter and cook how you do with your crumbed ones maybe a little less heat. Enjoy

[@TripInAVan]

Yumm, more like a fish cake hey?

[@Matt-my1bh]

We call them fritters, just spoon it in like 1 or 2 bite size, 1 for me lol, they are pretty tasty, don't add chilli for the kids but if they like chilli flavor use the mild ones

[@BarraCartel]

I did something similar and tried to make crab dumplings with raw mudcrab meat. I ended up steaming them for 3 mins then chill ‘em right down, then got the meat out. Worked a bit better. 👍 Great idea on the nuggets

[@TripInAVan]

Great idea! I’ll have to try and steam for a bit 👍👍

[@JonoMurn-ck2qd]

Another great vid! Keep it up mate - love the catch and cooks 🦀

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks mate

[@yvonnepoor1366]

Only problem with the family liking crab is that you now have to share the crabs you catch.😊

[@TripInAVan]

That's right!

[@jasonbarnes5605]

What a mouth watering episode. Yummmmmm!!!!!

[@TripInAVan]

Yumm hey

[@Potsie]

Man, the kids have grown up .. seems Bearsie liked it heaps .. maybe she wants to go on your next Crab potting run :)

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah she’s be keen as!! They grow up fast

[@ummaleah]

Oml this looks yum

[@trac3pace]

So good! Mud crab (prawns and barra), was our staple diet growing up, because we were poor. Almost every Sunday lunch was mud crab sangers. Oh, to be that "poor" again.

[@TripInAVan]

You’d have to be a damn millionaire to eat crab every weekend now 😂😂

[@PaulFox-mw7sn]

I get roo tails from the greyhound/ dogfood shop

[@InnerEdgeTrails]

chilli mud crab and not having to share. sign me up lol

[@TripInAVan]

The dream

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Cool ep and lovely way you cooked the crab

[@TripInAVan]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks mate. Cheers 🍺

[@craigtomkinson2837]

No worries Iam heading north soon for 12 weeks @@TripInAVan

[@user-wy3qg2vx3e]

A baguette lightly toasted with garlic butter to dip in the sauce goes down a treat as well

[@TripInAVan]

Oh yeah for sure

[@petersimpson6110]

The only way to have and eat crab is natural, just cooked in salt water, sorry, but chilli crab, what a way to ruin the taste. I used old left over bait mullet one day to make sweet chilli crab nuggets, everyone loved them lol, all they could taste was the chilli, I left the crab for those wanting to eat crab.

[@TripInAVan]

Ha, stitch up

[@willkas8650]

What about a little bit of melted butter to dip mate? I think it helps, but all for personal taste 🤙

[@davidfox4799]

Bloody gold Justan made me celavate ❤

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers mate

[@AdrianCassidy-oo1on]

Awesome vid mate. Makes me wanna get the pots in the water.

[@TripInAVan]

You and me both! I’m keen to go again

[@garrethekin7043]

There was a pet food store near the Greyhound track at capalaba that use to sell kangaroo tail mate

[@LynetteEgan]

Hey mate, try a dipping sauce for your nuggets, one part soy, 2 parts sweet soy, one small chilli and the green part of of a spring onion, make it half an hour before eating , also good for fish nuggets. Cheers

[@TripInAVan]

Oh yumm how good

[@BP45167]

You inspired me to go drop the pots yesterday 😂… 5 muddies in the boat this morning 👌 time to give these nuggets a go 🤘

[@TripInAVan]

Nice!!let me know how ya go

[@victorbitter583]

It looks like you've converted Bearsie. Make her your crab harvesting offsider. Her little fingers will come in handy for getting that green meat out of the shells. Cheers.

[@TripInAVan]

For sure!! I need the help

[@oscarsmitty]

muddies are great eating 👍👍best eaten on the beach they are messy 🤣

[@TripInAVan]

Yes they are!

[@paul.harvey3110]

Hey mate size is your watersnake … on your boat I mean 😬

Kangaroo tail is the long part at the back of the kangaroo 😂

[@TripInAVan]

[@chrishepple3401]

Is the fridge Russian why she pixalated out

[@simonnewport2494]

When i do the green meat out of crayfish i do a shirt blanch in hot water then ice and it peals out easy

[@TripInAVan]

Righto, that sounds like a plan

[@costaplenty7482]

Awesome, where in Queensland is that??? Surprised you didn't fish that area.

[@tristanpreece136]

I wonder if sticking them in the freezer for a couple hours to firm them up would be easier to get the meat out 🤔

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah I reckon that might help hey, will try next time

[@micksfishin4787]

Steam the crab and pull meat out after cooked n then crumb n shallow fry just for the crumbs pretty much, same way ya make crab balls or crab cakes

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers

[@adventureus7612]

Use the claw meat for the crab nuggets mate. Easy to get the meat out. Love ya vids. Bec is the best.❤

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks for the tip!

[@errolpolmeer5661]

Interested in buying the new crab trap as well as the "crab cup" - Where can I buy these item and how much are they ? - Thanks and keep up the great shows that you all do there !

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks mate, I got the krab kuffs from here: krabking.com.au/ And the pots from here : www.crabngear.com.au/

[@stuartfinlay6353]

Your old canopy up for sale? I see it hiding in the background there.

[@TripInAVan]

That’s the new one. I can take it off. The old one sold quick 👍👍

Cheers Pete

[@rodaustin653]

Hi Justin… When will the winner of the giveaway fridge be announced??

[@TripInAVan]

Hey mate that’s been drawn and announced. The winner was Tim Syratt 👍

[@rodaustin653]

@@TripInAVan sorry I missed the info... Was it announced on your platform or the mob that supplied it ?

[@troydebruyn3661]

Justin try steaming crab for 5 min first then U should be able to pick crab 🦀 out of shell bit easier to make nuggets

[@TripInAVan]

THANKS MATE

[@RobbMinion]

looks sensational, maybe add garlic paste as well?

[@TripInAVan]

Great idea!

[@Kenlctd105]

Should try organic coconut oil super healthy and tasty

[@TripInAVan]

So good hey

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic cook up, maybe instead of pulling the green meat, cook the crab n make crab patties with a bit of mash potato n veg.

[@TripInAVan]

Next time! I do t think it would taste the same but hey… the nuggets were epic

[@seanchristie7150]

@@TripInAVan yeah, no way would it taste the same, but it would go further, more bang for your buck, pardon the pun

[@TripInAVan]

@@seanchristie7150 😂😂like it

[@dutchyperon4407]

We catch red claw and cannot get the flesh out while gree. We found by freezing the red claw first and then defrosting the green meat comes away from the shell...Maybe the same for crab 😊

[@TripInAVan]

Interesting! Thanks for that it’s worth a shot

[@jordankyle37]

🤠🇺🇸🍻

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers bud

[@garysmeltzer1933]

Cook whole is fine boil for 15 minutes let me know what you think

[@Kenlctd105]

You can buy kangaroo tail from pet barn

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers

[@Lee-astrololee]

I'll take the Chilli Crab over nuggets any day!!

[@TripInAVan]

Both good hey👌👌👌

[@Lee-astrololee]

@@TripInAVan you just can't beat that freshness no matter how you have them! Yummo

[@WarrenRorison-yb5ux]

Sorry ment to say make patties Cheers

[@paulsmit8147]

Maybe half cook first, then spice and crumb and fry......

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers

[@michaelmcroberts4398]

Fun video Justin! Glad you had fun crabbin!!!

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks mate good times

[@trevorhunt1815]

Just be careful that when you go public with crabbing that you do it legally. I watched another vid and the guy got pinged for not having names or numbers on the floats. I’m not from qld so I don’t know the rules

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers mate

[@Coyne-87]

Check out skid pigs channel he cooked some mud crab nuggets last year and might have some tips for you 🤙

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers man I’ll go have a look👍👍

[@roypowell3450]

Cook along with Justin! Looks delicious mate...What was giving a weird pixelation in your kitchen? Cheers for now..

[@TripInAVan]

Pixelate was me blocking the calendar out on my fridge 👍👍

[@roypowell3450]

Hmmm! Wonder what as on that! 🤣

[@johnblack9582]

ive never caught a crab in my life, but i was wondering if you half freeze the crabs, then use a dremel to remove the shell, a hammer might be alright if it doesn't wreck the meat.

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah I’ve had a few people say half freeze them before cracking shells and it helps meat come out
