Why Does Stone Crab Cost So Much? Miami Fisherman Explains(Catch and Cook)

[@richiethev4623]

Abel and his buddy reminds me of the Cuban Penn & Teller because one is completely silent and the other one won't shut up 🤣

[@kingk13osideaudits70]

Abel is the Man, that was a mind blowing experience. Man you are so lucky Al I'm Jelly

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Able thank you for allowing Alfred to take us along to see the fishing process from the trap to the table. Jeff in LA USA

[@debbykennett8965]

Thank you Alfred, wow it's amazing to see the entire process. 👏

[@roses4me451]

Thank you Capt. Abel for show us the harvest, work, and ALL that goes into getting stone crabs!!! You summed it up: "It's a LOT of work!!!" All we know is they are expensive and they taste good! The fact that you weigh them, discard the "floaters", and don't overcharge; says you're an honest man. I've got to contact you soon! ("From the ocean to your table, call Abel!")

[@bobsim3183]

This was an awesome video Alfred. Capt Abel is a real waterman and fisherman, someday I'll visit Miami and you can bet I'll be calling Capt Able!

[@charlenewhite3759]

Thank you so much for showing the whole process with Able! I’m so impressed with his care and knowledge. I wish he were closer, he’d be my second best friend after Alfred lol loved it!

[@garywacaser6230]

This is an amazing video. Great job Abel and Alfred!

[@gregpayette365]

Captain Able, freshest crab and lobster from the boat to the table

[@randylamar943]

Great video! Thank you both.

[@kurttrzeciak8326]

Alfred I have been loving the videos with both Abel and fisherman Joe! This really makes me miss living down in SoFla! Sadly the people of FL voted my job of 30 years out of existence, and I could not find a job that paid me enough to live there...... Great videos though. Keep up the amazing work. Wish all the best for you, Abel, and Joe!

[@zerofox7347]

What job did you do?

[@michaeldouglas2584]

Alford great video. Thank you so much. I can’t believe how hard this man works. Next time I come down from Toronto I’m gonna look for Able. I’ve got the number from the ocean to my table lol:) Can’t wait to try this it’s gonna be worth the drive next time I come down with all the boys for our annual get together and ride. Again, thank you love the videos !

[@zerofox7347]

The Crabs are paying an arm and a leg to live in those traps!

[@wayneschaefer3306]

Best video! I'm ordering from Abel to my table from now on. Wisconsin

[@lastlaplogistics8512]

Abel is a man of the people

[@guillermocremati6760]

Alfred now I appreciate the cost of the stone crab price as it is a lot of work. Thank you for the education Alfred and Able.😊

[@mohunter68]

Wow! Yes now I know why crab and lobsters are so expensive. I've only had crab legs frozen from Wally World. But now there is a shortage of crab legs from up north, for some reason "Probably Polution" the snow crabs are dissapearing at an alarming rate. Capt. Abel is a Boss! That man has forgotten more about crabs and lobsters than many people know.

[@scottjordon]

This was a great video and I know that a lot of people will not like to watch such a long video but Alfred..my man…it was so informative!!! I loved it!! Thanks Bro!! From Hopkinsville,Ky 😊

[@AlfredMontaner]

I learned alot on this one Scott

[@marshag9360]

What a great video. I loved every minute of it. People, including myself, dont realize what it takes to get good, fresh seafood to the table (so always call Abel. Lol) Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks to you and Abel for sharing.

[@ritahartline1422]

Totally amazing, I watched the first video and this great also! Thank you 🙏 so much for this so people can see what it takes to get stone crabs to your table, Call Abel!!!

[@gregpayette365]

Love this video Al+++++++

[@AlfredMontaner]

Wasn't it interesting ?

[@randyruney5704]

Loved & learned so much from this video. Thanks. When Hurricane Ian was heading to Tampa we went to beach to help a relative at the beach. I gave a neighbor 10 1gal bags full of stone crab claws in case we lost power in Tampa. The beach was fine. Lost power here. He had a party & ate all my claws. That hurt.

[@tampabayaquaculture]

Awesome to see this. Well done Abel!

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

What another great video, Alfred! You were so lucky to finally get to go out with able and we all were so lucky to see this whole process. I thank you for this video and I really think they’re great ones when you actually go out, like hands on operations. I can only imagine what it would cost to ship a box of those to the Chi town area, your so lucky to be close to the good stuff and you two made my mouth water 😢😢😂😂 THANKS AGAIN, Ron

[@jessesmith4200]

I think you misunderstood him about calling it a floater when you where eating it. He didn't mean floater like the dead crabs from the traps. He meant after the crab molts it has less meat and floats when cooked. Love the video as usual !

[@theGovnr1]

Great Video, Alfred!

[@UrbanFisherman]

Awesome job

[@marcoverfelt2956]

Nice!! I snapped off 51 stone crab claws this morning, Lots of fun!!

[@carlosc7627]

Awesome video guys. Great job and thank you for the information.

[@JToca]

Great video AlMo. If you take one, take the crusher and leave the cuter. In conclusion, take both claws.

[@FeEnDios16]

We put new board and batten Hardie siding on a fish house on Anna Maria Island for a fisherman and his wife and she gave us stone crab claws! I wondered how they caught them! They were delicious! Thanks for the video!! God bless 😃🙌🏼

[@joedranschak1057]

Awesome video Alfred! It's great to see the entire process, most people have no idea how much work goes into that process. Abel is an artisan! Can't wait till my next trip to Florida for some stone crab.🙂

[@MichaelRei99]

Hey I’m learning stuff! This is interesting!

[@codernov]

Circa 2007-ish we used to eat them all, not just claws. I remember father of my friend, dead now, rest in peace, used to catch these crabs in Biscayne Bay, and we would cook them whole. Claws and body, everything. Very tasty.

[@Steadicam305]

Hi Alfred, howdy, Thank you for video and never before taste eat it amazing. My favorite eat love it the crab cake. I visited Joe's Stome Crab website really a nice.

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

Best way to cook the crabs and lobster is steamed or pressure cooker, retains the taste far better than in boiled water.

[@thomasveteran1033]

Abel rocks how can I order from Idaho your cost no problem . After watching this video I will never complain about price awesome work you guys much respect

[@r.b.6254]

I’m in NY think I’m going to call Able 😀 fresh from the ocean to my table.

[@maryjoawtrey1021]

Abel, Where did you get your information from about them being better off with one claw versus none. I’m a behaviorist so I’m fascinated with animal behavior.

[@leehranicka3689]

Go to 19 minutes in the video; he explains the why two claws vs one.

[@maryjoawtrey1021]

@@leehranicka3689 Thank you!

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

Such a revelation that the crab population is sustained by returning the body after declawing. My question is, how long does it take for a crab to grow large claws once again?

[@AlfredMontaner]

He said about 2 years

[@joelmerfeld]

How are crabs able to hunt when u take both claws. I believe u kill them when u take both. Am I wrong?

[@kenmacintyre8217]

So how to they live with no claw's?

How do you contact Able?

Call his phone number that he mentions in the video

[@123cbman]

What a great video. Had no idea of the hard work. Awesome fellow explaining the process. When I am in MIA area I go to Joe's, very epensive but my company picks up the tab. I recall my wife coming with me on MIA business trip. I told her about Joe's. Well is a Saturday crowded and when I went to ask for table I wsa told 2hr wait. Went back to my wife, she disappeared and I heard my name where my wife said we have a table. I guess Joe's mistook my wife as a celebrity. As for me I am a bum.
