Eating blue crab claws

[@chandrabosley5554]

Thank you for sharing this little tip ❤

[@Bythewater]

You are so welcome!

I've never had blue crab before! Dungeness are my local crab to grab in the bay! I love catching them and red rocks!

[@Bythewater]

Dungeness is high on my list tontry

[@jackcorcoran1778]

i separate the movable part of the claw from the shell then pull it out, 70% of the time the meat comes with it. Can hurt sometimes but you get used to it

[@QuackAdoo-w4u]

Same. I pick all my crabs with no tools. Definitely get pricked few times but its worth it at the end of the crab

[@Bythewater]

Great tip

Have that same knife I live on the Biloxi gulf coast. We love our crabs

[@Bythewater]

Nice!

[@aubriellemorgan]

I like the mallet. Its so satisfying lol

[@Bythewater]

Nothing wrong with that!

[@robbieevans6536]

You can even take it one step further and twist off the bottom part leaving you with the little cocktail style crab claw.

Are you anywhere near like, Hagerstown/Williamsport area, Frederick- places like that? Jw, can’t recall, I know I’ve been to the chesepeake Bay Area but, I’m having a hard time remembering exactly how far or relative it was to those areas? It was years ago I was that way myself.

[@Bythewater]

Nope about 2 hours south

[@SakutoNoSAI]

I am surprised that anyone would be confused about eating shell fish, but as I'm from Chesapeake (City) I suppose my cultural delicacy is someone else's exotic treat.

[@Bythewater]

Yep, not common place for everyone

[@chrisl1637]

What kind of knife is that? I picked up some JO knives this year, it will be my first time "picking" with a knife.

[@Bythewater]

That one is a carvel hall knife. Those JO knives look good too

[@Aussie_Doggie]

Nice method, but why do you not take put the thing in the middle?

[@Bythewater]

No reason, sometimes I do and other times I just scrape the meat off with my teeth

[@shadowexecutive3243]

Yup the best way if you don't like smashed shell bits infused in your meat.

[@Bythewater]

Yep!

[@aubriellemorgan]

I never have shells in my meat and been eating crabs all my life (from Baltimore). But I’m gonna try this way.

[@brizagranadeno]

I just use my teeth

[@Bythewater]

😬

[@brizagranadeno]

@@Bythewater 👌 I normally eat rock and dungeous crab instead of blue crab so I use teeth and mallet when needed
