Winter Shore Crabbing (Multi-Crab Species CATCH & COOK)

[@jamiebaynes9488]

Wow, I am drooling over this recipe (so jealous). I think I have seen some of your other crabbing videos, but now I realize how many you have including recipes. Looks like I am up for a marathon of crabbing videos, so please keep them coming they are very entertaining and informative. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@WillyFish]

Thank you so much Jamie! Any new crabbing video I will be adding new recipes for the catch and cook!

[@kevinkompolt8033]

Tasty looking recipe! Going to give that a try!

[@WillyFish]

Thank Kevin! Let me know how your recipe turns out!

[@naturalflow157]

What an incredible adventure this was. I love the surroundings and just how you feel emerging into the world of nature where things can stop you, but you have got to push and find a way. Thank you for bringing this up and creating an amazing video for us. Take care :)

[@WillyFish]

Thank you!

Kind of a frittata? Cool! Don't know why you don't have the boat out, but you're doing pretty good from shore. Huge restraint not jumping in! I probably would have.

[@WillyFish]

Thanks Ed! I wanted to get after some different crabbing this winter to try some new things. Always trying to learn. Crabbing with boat videos coming soon...

those two where keepers at 7:32 and 11:45 the little bit of shell was hanging of the right of the measuring tool!

[@michaelmullen8153]

They where both short you measure just in front of the points the shell you seen "hanging"

[@tonybologna139]

Is it deep enough there to throw cages or nets?

[@WillyFish]

Absolutely!

I suggested an omelet to you because there is something magical about the egg, cheese and crab combination that just ticks all those umami boxes just right! I'll be trying to crab snare down there this coming Wednesday but further up toward the mouth of the bay. Here's hoping the weather doesn't smack me down! I have a real treat of a recipe for you to try... It's one I've made for a little over a decade and it should really give you a big gastronomic delight (if you like guacamole, that is). Dungeness Crab Guacamole in Endive cups INGREDIENTS 2 medium ripe Hass avocados 3 medium garlic cloves, roasted* 1 medium jalapeños, roasted*, stem and seeds removed, then finely chopped 1/2 pound Dungeness crabmeat 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 1 medium plum tomato, seeded/finely chopped 6 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 heads endive, leaves removed and edges trimmed (you essentially make little 'boats' with the individual endive leaves) 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil INSTRUCTIONS Halve avocados, remove pits & skins, coarsely chop. (if you have one, place in a molcajete if you don't, place in a bowl) add roasted garlic to avocado and mash together until only small chunks remain. Add roasted jalapeño, crabmeat, onion, tomato, & 4 tablespoons of the cilantro. Add lime juice, salt and then stir gently until combined. Place endive leaves on a serving plate and dollop each with guacamole. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro & olive oil, season with salt, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Add a small bit of this atop the endive cup with dollop of guacamole and drizzle some oil on top of each endive 'cup'. *To roast the garlic and jalapeño, coat in vegetable or canola oil and place in a 500°F oven until the garlic is golden brown and the jalapeño skin is blistered and blackened.

Thank you for the recipe. Omelette catch and cook is coming soon...

[@OFGW]

Oh wow! Where is this?!

[@WillyFish]

North Oregon Coast

[@OFGW]

@@WillyFish I was wondering because I live on the Southern Oregon Coast.

8 to 10 minutes is all you need to boil cleaned dungies

[@mkventures5259]

I felt your pain 8:28

[@WillyFish]

Thank you! I hear therapy sessions are wednesdays at 6pm...

[@mkventures5259]

@@WillyFish I'll see you there lol

[@WalkswithMoss]

I’m so glad you didn’t boil them alive. How did you kill them?

[@WillyFish]

I use the crab crack n cleaner before putting them in the water to boil.

[@AndersKW]

What town is this near?

[@WillyFish]

Near Tillamook...

[@tho464]

It’s the worst losing a keeper just feet from shore.

[@WillyFish]

It hurt my soul that one that got away...

[@tho464]

@@WillyFish Been there myself a few times. Twice it happened on the only crab I shared on the day and I could see the legs sticking out of the surf but couldn’t run fast enough to get there.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Lucky you dont live in Chicago...you want crappy weather...

[@Thunder_6278]

Advice: don't go crabbin in winter. Those rocks can be like glass. Especially by yourself.

[@gurnblanstein9816]

What if The female crabs identify as males. Could you keep them then?

[@NB.867.]

Maybe a Net next time for when they get close to shore… if you are allowed to use a net.

[@WillyFish]

Great call! I may have to bring the net the next time
