THANKS



[LIFalcons99]

[awwq89]

how was the crab killed? all i heard is that it was unconscious.

[thecod6player]

its a female holy shit

[ymcize]

what the fuck was that

[TelevizorPro]

that was a piece of crab.

[LadyLatias]

Thanks for the help on how to clean the crab. I can't stand to do it to a live crab though. >.< Don't get me wrong, I eat meat, I love it, but I'm so IFFY about doing the killing myself.

[lureyourkidsinvan]

I eat a lot of crab and this is the worst way to prepare it. Boil it whole, when you rip open the top shell it exposed the meat to too much heat and it dries it out, that or it gets to that rubbery texture if you chose to boil as opposed to steam (without the topshell). That and all the juices escape. Keep the crab intact, boil it whole and the juices will marinate the meat when they rupture over inside the crab. This guy is no cook. I cook a lot and this is the best way to do it.

[gjkood]

@lureyourkidsinvan The reason he cleans the crab this way is because this is the way it is done in the coastal parts of South India where seafood is a huge part of the cuisine. BTW, he is also a professional chef who has cooked for President Obama (before he was the President) while he was working in a restaurant in Chicago. Just search on youtube for "Khan Biriyani". He talks about briefly about his history in the US.

[artziphartzi]

Fabulous! Thank you for the great instruction!

[mshazrin]

a good lesson on how to cut a crab... so vegones, please just cut the cr@p (pun intended)...

[nikkieboo16]

[manihate11]

That is a fucking pro!

[ParisaRahmani]

very very good ...COME AGAIN lool indian cleaning crab is weird

[vashachiroku]

Would had voted like but does not support iPhone playback, was in the kitchen and had to go to the computer to watch.

[lucio85000]

thank you very much my friend!!!!!!

[ramzikarimas]

Very professional way with simple explanantion for difficult issues!

[acappellla1]

I luv the way you did that!! Verrrrry good job!! Thanks a lot!

[metalqid]

wadd ddaa idea,i tail you he is good pucker hahahahahaha

[1DreamPipe]

Hit it with the back edge of a heavy knife on the bottom (not the top!) along the center line and between the claws.

Clean before cooking removes the internal organs and fat which is where most of any industrial contaminants will concentrate. Crab are bottom feeders and do concentrate those nasty things from the food they eat. If you can do the cleaning outdoors pull the back then break the crab into two pieces (left and right) then shake out the gunk and pull off mouth parts.

[Ichigo1423jfk]

Best crab cleaning video i've seen.

[AmeKeaka]

excellent video! Great visual tips with good verbal instructions. You could be a teacher! Thank you for your help :)

[sheather703]

i would so eat =P

[barrycha916]

awesome video.

[420herbs]

good video. thanks.

[dickjohnson474747]

Good idea in using the yellow fat to cook with. I will have to try it. I always just ate it with the meat!

[Jydkdude]

'' You're going to learn how to cut this... crap'' LOL jk jk

[winkiedinkielive]

orrrr just pull of claw and legs?

[deltapeco]

great video right to the point i,m off to buy some live crab tomorrow and get medevil on there ass;s ( and to all u "oo thats harsh") people.......you ever see where the chicken you eat every day comes from? go watch food inc. u may never eat another chicken nugget in ur life. at least crab are free range and didnt grow in a one foot by one foot box. again great video.

[BellaNapolimia]

thank you,I didn't know from where to start to clean it.Ciao

[islandgirllove2fete]

i love your videos. Thank you. Even though cleaning a crab still grosses me out...I'll probably still probably still buy the pre-cleaned ones 'cause that guts and cutting off the head kinda makes my appetite for the crab go away. Maybe one day...I'll be brave. lol :-)

[salzzu]

amazing! really nicely explained, thanks

[asadapa08]

we eat all of it...nothing go to waste..only the shell is left

[RifledBarrel]

poor crab....how would you like it if someone ripped YOUR skull-off like that!

[somthingman]

if you dont like it why would you even bother watching a video about cleaning a crab?!? troll

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

dont eat anything then, all food are ripped off from their source of life somehow

[AlanMolstad]

You should never name your food.

Juts like you should never give names to your bate what you go fishing.

But food is food.

And the way the crab is clean in this video is the normal way this fod is made ready for the table.

However there are some people that cant take watching some foods , so perhaps it is best if they stay out of the kitchen and just watch TV until called to the table.

[911Vanny]

@RifledBarrel watch lions eat, its worse

[jameslo93]

wha..t?? cut the hat off?

[tsequeira2912]

One thing he is definitely wrong about is you CANNOT 'knock a crab out by hitting its shell with the flat of the knife. I tried this on various large crab (dungeness) and doing so only made them mad. (I hit one so hard its shell cracked... the guy was still conscious)

[repositoryph]

This video is a joke. He clearly has not bloody idea what he is doing.

[AlanMolstad]

I disagree.

He cleans the crab in the most normal way its done.

I dont think he missed any steps, and this is a good video for learning how to do this.

[AlanMolstad]

while I can tell you why your crab acted the way it did, (I was not there)

I can say that most of the time you can stun a crab enough with a blow as shown to allow you to pull the back shell off.

[Legit92nick]

LOLOL

[repositoryph]

This guy is a poser. Very timid moments. Too much talk and really doesn't know how to do it.

It's moot to clean a crab after the ammonia-laced G.I. tract has laced everything on the most tender part of the crab. The whole thing is ruined already by that point.

Pathetic.

[crazyredlion4500]

A friend showed me how to clean a crab years ago. It tastes so much better than cooking the whole crab and then having to deal with the yellow crap when you are trying to eat the crab.

[Artificerabbit2]

Great instructional video. I would save juices for a crab chowder base too.

[undertake782]

The yellow looking stuff is whats good though.

[TheSachiyo777]

TQ for sharing. i really dunno how to clean the crabs b4. i already try your recipe chilli crabs, omg it taste so good. thank u so much cheff :)

[randikajamai]

lol laugh all u want. dude is a crab cleaning pro. its sad when people cant get past someone's ethnicity to appreciate skills

[BirthdaySexGirls]

he's not a crab cleaning pro though

[saberj2x]

thank you for calling dell technical support...

[sillyguy93]

@saberj2x HAHAHAHAHAHA

[martinbirch22]

tu puta madre!!!

[roxxiiees]

thanks! i was going to make black pepper crabs tomorrow and was just worrying about how to clean then since mom has always done it for us thus far. lol

[saster47]

i thought it the crab was black it;s bad (in the inside)

[tronclay]

Great video, very intructive on cleaning out the crab. Also, as far as the yellow stuff goes, you find similar stuff in lobsters except its green, my grandmother eats it, though i find it disgusting. I believe she said she calls it the "tamale" and that its basically lobster crap

[TubeGuest5178]

that guy can take me to dinner anytime. Not only is he HOTT but he knows how to eat a mean crab.

[rinish1]

am a big fan of crab but dunno how ever to cook or clean one and this video is so helpful. Thankssss

am gonna buy 2 crabs today and watch this and clean it at da same time :-)

[uporabnik]

Great and very helpful! Thank you very much!

[ginmiek]

Thank you so much for sharing the tips and makes my first 1 on 1 with the crab so much easier

[manns101101]

nice vid

[JAGUARZALL]

nice job

[universalctzn]

I have to tell you, i have been cooking for a while, this is the easiest way to clean the crab. Thank you so much, i seldom cooked crabe because i thought it was too much work, now i will be cooking often,

thanks Sunjay, YOU RULE>>>>>

[TheUltimateSheikh]

What exactly is the yellow stuff?

[allan9874]

the yellow stuff is the eggs its very yummy

[SecretAsianBoi]

u sure? i think its fat

[allan9874]

ololoool crustations and other creatures with exoskeletons dont reallt have fat lololol cus there like cold blooded.

[SecretAsianBoi]

well its not their eggs...

i found out, its called a hepatopancreas and they use it to digest things.

i can laugh at you too for thinking its eggs. o.O

[0joshguy0]

i think they call it crab butter or something

[slideaway85]

This is NATURE. WE're not doing anything different from what nature does. The strongest win.Darwin.

I think that all vegans and vegetarians are soooo frustrating (cause they don't eat what they want to), that's why losing their time to write bullshit instead of eating nicely and be happy.

And then, 99% of them are soooo ipocrit.

Cmon guys, just eat what u feel to and don't bother people.

[TehBapesta]

ipocrit? Are you fucking retarded?

[TheClovenHeart]

Hip...

Hip-hop...

Hip-hop-anonymous?

[stutbose]

where is this available?

[FlightSimTutorials]

Riiiiiiight....and I'm a chicken....

[FlightSimTutorials]

Okay so animals that eat other animals simply because they are higher up the food chain should also be scalded by your logic? Get it through your thick skull that we happen to be at the top of the food chain.

[adiprai]

@xLostInThoughtx - Unlike you, I don't write intolerant drivel on videos where an amicable chef is kind enough to share his knowledge of the culinary arts with vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I suggest you get off the internet and go to a local bazaar and pick fights with butchers instead. You can enlighten them on how the wiping out of massive amounts of wildlife by modern agriculture is a far more ethical career option than their chosen profession.

[xLostInThoughtx]

You make some great food, but I'm particularly disappointed with this video because it looked like the crab was still alive even after you tapped it with the knife. I'm a vegetarian so this kind of stuff sort of freaks me out. It just seems.. unhuman.

[sabbirsa]

i am sorry but the carb was dead.

[adiprai]

This doesn't make any sense. All the animals that we eat haves to be killed at some point. If you're disappointed with this video, you should be disappointed with any nonveg video. Please respect other peoples dietary choices the same way we respect your choice to be vegetarian.

[Dano78229]

@adiprai Vegatarian is a old tribe word meaning man who is weak and cannot hunt or pick berries

[ranbrent]

@Dano78229 if you think about it....the vegis would want to pick berries

[westphillyres]

@xLostInThoughtx lol I know that this is from 2 years ago, but I just have to ask. Are lions killing a gazelle, the way they do, not lion-like; since killing crabs the way he does is "unhuman?"

[xLostInThoughtx]

@westphillyres Trying to compare what a lion does to a gazelle and what a human does to a crab in my opinion are two different things. I get what you are saying, but perceptively we're much more intelligent than any other animal and thus should behave like so. Is being humane to what we kill to much to ask?

[101dotson]

@xLostInThoughtx yes

[tachu246]

[vvskgn]

Thanks for all your tips.

[jahnavidash]

Thanks Sanjay;

Now am able to clean crab by following u.

[Chivalryaintdead]

I think that if you boiled all the extra stuff you don't use you could make a really delicious crab stock, that could be the base of a soup or a chowder or something.

[sriwathr]

please mail me How To Make CRAB Soup?

[detective2013]

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh that's scary! although I have eaten crabs all my life... So the crab only has to be unconscious when you take off the shell? This might seem stupid but does it automatically die once its shell is off?

[humairap]

OMG, the crab legs were moving while the chef flip over the crab, thanx though

[toxicbillygoat]

YES, now i can clean all my crab

[secube]

tnx on my way to buy a crab now =)

[vinod2222]

gross man. But nicely done though!! thanks

[Exportlover]

thanks sanjay! good to see you back
