  • looks great! thanks for sharing..

  • @SouthAusMMA Naaaah...

    Vinegar, beer, Sea-salt and seasonings - and STEAM THEM!

  • @dedicateddad -

    If the crab dies in your hand as you're packing your pot, would it be unsafe? Of course not!

    OTOH, When you buy a bushel of steamed, nobody checks every crab, they just dump the basket into the pot. When you're eating, if you get one that seems "off" (I usually get at least a couple like this per bushel) DON'T EAT IT!

    Oh, and PLEASE don't "boil" crabs!!

    STEAM, BABY!!

    ;o)

  • @Tewrobert Yup - same here, everywhere AFAIK...

    The TRUTH is that when you find a dead crab you don't know how long it has been dead, so the only SAFE thing to do is to toss it.

    Saw kills it, so the're OK

    Now, if you KNOW it was alive an hour ago, and it's been refrigerated, then it's OK. I've cooked dead ones out of my 'fridge when I *KNEW* they were alive when they went in yesterday...

    Still, better safe than sorry!

  • Southern Maryland was/is the mecca of how to prepare blue crabs: Dorchester, Wicomico counties. In the 1980s we'd catch two bushel baskets full from 5pm -8pm in the summer. Put them in the refrigerator crisper and they go comatose. Then steam them with Old Bay, vinegar and sea weed in a layered stock pot. Perfect.

  • Dirty rednecks

  • I'd like to put a cock in that big arm blonde.

  • @dedicateddad I thought they had to boil the king crab alive but I see them being cut in half alive on a table saw :( Not sure which is worse..

    I used to run a crab lline on Ponchatrain lake and we had to boil them alive for health reasons. NO dead crabs to be boiled, Had to be thrown away..

  • @RevJunior28 Its not a crime not to know everything.

    Just like you cannot spell..

    You cannot even make a sentence or use a comma..

  • Nice vid and it looks delicious, thank you :)
