All of your cooking videos take me straight back to my young childhood. My memories supply the smells and flavors that TH-cam can't relay. Thank you so much for the cooking advice, and the nostalgia!
This is my new favorite TH-cam channel. I was born and raised in southern Texas, spent quite a bit of time from Corpus Christi to Orange Tx. Great food! My grandma told me about the lungs killing/poisoning people too!
+Apathy Technology Wow, thank you, I sure appreciate that! Yeah, I think my parents told us kids that, just to make sure we didn't try to eat them lol :)
I have been watching a lot of Blue crab videos lately and I find yours the best and most mouth watering. Although there is a lot of preparing to do, the final product is worth it. I will be attempting this recipe on Thanksgiving when I prepare food for my family. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Sure makes me miss my Mississippi gulf coast! Earlier while busy preparing breakfast I was listening and half watching while wondering which of our smoke detectors might have a low battery. Thankfully I came back to this and sat down to finish, giving it my full attention, because our ADT wireless system and all is a fairly regular occurring source of stress...but I digress. What a labor of love that was!
+TheWolfePit It sure was Larry! I love to crab as much as I do fishing. I think I'm going to buy some crab traps. I'm probably missing a lot with these nets
+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine We use the same type of traps you do Rus. When I was a kid my father and I used string, fish heads and a net! That made it a lot of fun!
+TheWolfePit Yeah, my parents would use the nets, and us kids would just tie a chicken neck on the string and pull them in. That's what my grand daughters were doing this day. So much fun, and great for kids, not to mention the good eats afterwards ;)
+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine We use chicken backs now, but when I was a kid we didn't have enough money to buy necks or backs. My father and I would get ice bags full of fish heads from the boat docks or fish markets in the morning for FREE!! They'd always give us way more than we needed!
You have everything going for you... I LOVE STUFFED CRABS...that is good ones..i have in the last couple of years have had some really bad ones... either they taste dry or over cooked or even with shell in it. REALLY BAD.. Thank you for your great videos . It gives me hope that there is someone whom cares about his food and wants to share. God bless you!!!
ah Blue Crabs, Rus! You brought back a childhood memory on Mobile Bay off County Road 1 when I was about 6-7 years old; Dad was emptying crab traps off the wharf (baited with chicken necks and backs) into a #10 metal washtub; one of those blue crabs got out of his tongs, freaked out and ran across the deck and nicked one of my big toes! Lost my flip flop doing back down the wharf to Momma and the cup of peroxide over my foot! To this day, I enjoy blue crab claws only after they are fried and I know they are "safe"! My brothers and I picked many a blue crab back in the 60s. Great cook, my friend!!
+MJ Trainor You made me laugh big time! That was funny! I remember a big huge crab getting a hold of my dads finger, and he wasn't about to let go. I think my dad had to take a pair of pliers and break his claw to get him off. I can honestly say, I've never been pinched by one yet, but I'm sure I will eventually. Great fun and memories, and good eats ;) Thanks MJ, I appreciate you watching!
+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Glad to share the memory with you Rus! My 40th high school reunion is in a few weeks in Mobile! Wondering if I have lingering PTSD from that dang crab! Reminds me of the Smother's Brothers .... Crabs Walk Sideways and Lobsters Walk Straight! ;)
Welcome back Rus. we missed you there for a moment. I had a chance to eat some Crawfish a couple of weeks ago. I showed your Rocket Pot video with Crawfish to my friend, needless to say he's desperately wanting one now, we seasoned the way you did and soaked. Awesome good eats man! I haven't made stuffed crab (deviled crab) since last summer. I'll have to try it your way since your the crawfish video was a success when we repeated your steps.
Thanks Terrence! Just took a short break, had things going on and places to go but I'm back to it now. Really glad to hear you tried the steaming method for your crawfish! I was raised eating the stuffed crabs, but man this sauce really takes them to a whole new level. Let me know what you think after making them. Cheers!
Superb Rus! You know, I have had these at restaurants a thousand times. With my left over crabs I always shelled them and made crab cakes, definitely doing this one!!!! Thank you!!!
+Kim Mozingo Thank you Kim! I've eaten them all of my life. Most restaurants here in Biloxi and elsewhere in the region, usually puts a stuffed crab on a seafood platter, but this sauce takes it to a whole new level!
Im italian american and christmas eve is my holiday and i will be using this, i usually do crabs in oil and garlic over linguini, along with the other 9 seafood dishes. Going crabing sat and having stuffed crabs sat night
+trey092001 Your welcome, and thank you for watching my videos! Glad the video brings back good memories of home! There is no other place on earth like our region here on the Coast! Wouldn't trade with anyone :)
I'm dyin' watching this video. My wife and I visit coastal South Carolina pretty often and we doa lot of crabbing. Generally, we make crab cakes, but this, THIS, is driving me nuts. It WILL on our "must make" list when we return to the coast. Thank you!
Looks really delicious. Up here in Ontario, Canada, we don't have fresh crabs. (Turtles and pollywogs, but no crabs :-) So we go to the local Loblaws store and buy a couple of kilos of frozen King Crab legs. Take them home and boil them in a big pot of water. Score the shells lengthwise with an Exacto knife. Sear them on the BBQ until a nice, smoky flavour. Then serve with melted garlic butter and a nice, cold Molson Canadian for the cook. Cheers from Canada :-)
No, just a guy who has a passion for cooking, and preparing excellent food, and this channel is a great outlet to share it with the world for those interested. Thank you, I appreciate the comment :)
I learn something new every time I watch your videos or see you cook in person! I have noticed that these are rare at eating places these days... I used to see these everywhere back in the day!!!! The blue crabs are abundant right now in Corpus...That shrimp head sauce is the bomb !!!!! OMG the scene of you pouring the sauce on the stuffed crabs made my mouth water!!!! I request this next year at JB's... Just the sauce fir dipping crawfish tails in!!!! WOW... This is my new Favorite video you have made!!!! Peace my Brother!!! See you later tell the wife and grand daughter hello!!!
+Cookin with Surfin Sapo Yeah, everything has changed over the years. If you order a seafood platter around here, some places still do the stuffed crabs, some do a crab cake, and the best restaurants will put a deep fried soft shell crab on the platter! YUM! This would make killer dipping sauce for shrimp, crawfish, or even poured on fish. Remind me next year, and I'll make some in advance to take with us :) Thanks Sapo, I sure appreciate it!
Rus, there's considerable work to do there, but oh wow, is it worth it!! Your stuffed crabs are pure ambrosia! The shrimp cream sauce blew me away! Fabulous! Thanks for all the effort you put into this great video my friend!
Of course, Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Realistically, I doubt I'll ever get a chance to try the recipe, but my inlaws are Asian so every now and then I find myself staring at a plate of crab that I have absolutely NO idea what to do with. This was really helpful!
That's awesome Rus! Man you are really making me want to cook some blue crabs. My dad used to cook them for us quite a lot growing up! I can get them fresh on the weekends right down the street, and we also have a few good seafood market to shop at. Thanks for sharing these awesome southern recipes!
Thanks Adam, I appreciate you watching. Our local Gulf blue crab is just hard to beat! I like them just about any way you can cook them, and especially fried soft shells. Your welcome Adam, and I sure thank you for stopping by :)
Oh boy the bounties of mother nature.. Blue crab takes a lot of work but the flavor is worth it. Man you sure know how to drum up an appetite.. Glad I followed you.
Rus.....another great cook you've done here! We have blue crabs here in Oz called Blue Swimmers. They have a delicious sweet meat and are wonderful eating, so this recipe would go down a treat :) Dan.
+Dieselbuilder Thank you, and that's great that you have access to these crabs! I personally think they are the best tasting of all crabs. Hope you give this a try! Thanks for watching, I sure appreciate it!
Man, I know those had to be good Rus. The crab meat from a seafood boil is so much tastier than the fresh or frozen crab meat you buy from the store. Stuffed crab is one of my favorites, so I really enjoyed this video. Hope you have a wonderful week!!! Cheers brother!
I totally agree, and it don't get any fresher than this Troy! It was all I could do to calm my son down when he first took a bite lol, and needless to say, they didn't last long. I did manage to get two for myself lol. Glad you enjoyed the video Troy, and you and Karen have a great week too! Thanks for watching :) Cheers!
I've done stuffed shrimp in sea shells. Next time I'll buy some lump crab meat and stuff them. I take the easy way out and use Stove Top Stuffing Herb Mix, and I let the grill cook the shrimp inside the Stuffing with a little old bay and apple wood smoke. Topped with fresh parsley. Your recipe is fantastic.
Stuffed crab is so good, especially with shrimp. I sure appreciate your comments and thanks for watching Otis! Old Bay is great for these are any crab or shrimp dish really!
Now I know what it feels like to be truly blown away! We can get blue crab at a number of the Asian markets around here, but I really don't trust 'em much... Who knows where they're from... They're farmed, I'm sure. I'd much rather have fresh caught from the Gulf. Excellent video, Rus. I posted it on Face book!
+SmokeyGoodness Thanks so much Dan! Yeah, I agree with you. Getting any seafood from it's natural habitat has to be much better than farmed. I know the shrimp is for sure! Thanks so much for sharing it :)
Most of my life I tried stuffed crabs at numerous restaurants and not a one was very good. Back in the fifties my father would commercial fish and often brought home lots of blue crabs. Mom would clean them and stuff the shells then deep fry. It was unbelievable how good it was. I asked her several times before she passed away for her recipe and she simply said it was crab meat, salt, pepper, cracker crumbs, onions, celery, garlic and what no other recipe calls for. A small amount of hamburger or pork sausage. Nothing else has ever come close. It was sweet, dense, and most importantly not bready as most stuffed crabs are.
Good video Rus Awesome recipe. it took some doing but it was well worth the wait. the stuffing is off the hook, I love Crab and seafood. Great Job Smokey Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine. ;)
+Rubén Disla Thank you Ruben! Yes a lot of work, but I love doing things like this. The pay off is seeing how much my family enjoys it, and well worth the time and effort. :)
OMG.... That looks delicious. Acme Oyster House don't have nothing on you. (smile) Finally, I got a good recipe on stuffed crabs. Will dfinitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. A New Orleans native.
Dammit man! Open up a resturant. LOL. I'm doing this one next weekend. I've tried 11 of your recipes so far and each one was unbelievably good. Thanks and keep em coming
+MajixPlus Wow, 11 of my recipes! Thats awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback, and I know your going to love this one! May get a food truck or concession trailer when I retire :)
This guy is amazing wow ,his dish looks delicious and I'm going to try to make it i won't lie i may not be the best cook but following a recipe like this will be a challenge wish me luck, lol thank you for sharing this video with us. 💪✌😷🍽🍷
I have to admit I am a Maryland crab snob but your recipe looks very yummy! Most of the time I see stuffed crab with too much bread and not enough crab seasoning. Your recipe looks very good. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Rus. We already watched and drooled over these crabs last night...so today I was ready for round 2 of drooling. It was cool to see how you got the meat out of them. That sauce you made just got to taste so heavenly good...in my head I was already making seafood bisque out of it...last night when I had the whiskey in my glass heh heh. Yeps this dish you made should be something I should be eating for sure ! ! Thank you for sharing. :)
+Paivi Project Thanks for watching it twice Paivi! That is awesome and glad you liked it! The sauce actually is a bisque, but I reduced it down more to thicken it up to use as a sauce. Would be great as a bisque right out of a bowl, with french bread on the side.
I am jealous, that looks great. I would do it the way you did but use far less hot spice. Going blue crabbing in June and intend to follow your lead on this!! Good job
Great video, got me and my better half all riled up for some crab now. Can you cook the shrimp in the same spiced up liquid that you used to cook the crab?
+Mark O Thank you! We have to get our crab fix on a regular basis here, lol! Yes you can cook the shrimp in the liquid, but it's normally done with the shells and heads still on like I've done in my seafood boil videos, but in this video I did add a little of it into the stuffing, so the shrimp did come in contact with it for added flavor.
What's up Rus! This meal looked fantastic and I always enjoy your videos as you really take the time and provide a thorough explanation of your cook. I know that was a ton of work getting that meat out of the crabs, but I'm sure in the end it was well worth it. Keep up these great videos brother. Take care!
+Matt Covington Thanks Matt! Yes a ton of work, but the kind of work I enjoy. I think the Gumbo video I did December of 2014 was the most labor intensive video I've ever done, but your so right about it being worth the effort at the end. Cheers brother!
Dude I have to say that your recipe is the best I've seen for stuffed crabs. If only I lived in an area with good quality grab in which I would try your recipe out myself.... Nonetheless, you're brilliant with your cooking skills and ideas. Keep it up!
I loved everything about this video and recipe. It made me realize that I am lazy, will be ordering it but not making it. Too much time. I had no idea the time in just crab picking!!
+Jeff Ward Yeah, I would not want to do crab picking for a living! Sure makes you appreciate what these people do day in and day out. I appreciate Jeff! Thanks for watching man!
Does Blue Crab need that much seasoning or is it just a preferred recipe? I am used to eating lobster and crab boiled in salt water only where you can taste the flavor of the actual meat. I do like what you did with the shells of the shrimp. Thanks for sharing.
The image of all the crabs cooked at 3:07 in the blue container is definitely instagram worthy. Ugh, so jealous. I haven't been crabbing since I was a child. Anyways, keep up with the great recipes & videos.
+DarkSouljah Thank you, I did forget to upload photos to instagram, so I will do that in a few! I've always loved crabbing since I was a child. So fun and relaxing with good eats as well :)
I'm a new subscriber and didn't know you was in Southern MS. I retired out of Keesler last Oct and lived in Vancleave. Sure do miss the food there. Great vids and thanks for the memories.
+Rocketeer70 First thanks for subscribing! Keesler is very close to where I live here in Biloxi. I've met a few people from my channel that live near by. Very cool! Wish we could have met while you were here. Thanks again I appreciate it!
All of your cooking videos take me straight back to my young childhood. My memories supply the smells and flavors that TH-cam can't relay. Thank you so much for the cooking advice, and the nostalgia!
Me too ,reminds me a Lot staying at my grandparents place for Summer Break As a Kid
Wow, those stuffed crabs look great!

Fish was a better bait anyway. That's what crabs love. I can't find chicken necks anywhere anymore. We actually used chicken backs on this video
You have everything going for you... I LOVE STUFFED CRABS...that is good ones..i have in the last couple of years have had some really bad ones... either they taste dry or over cooked or even with shell in it. REALLY BAD.. Thank you for your great videos . It gives me hope that there is someone whom cares about his food and wants to share. God bless you!!!
Every time I watch a Smoky Ribs recipe I wish I was his neighbor. :)

Looks yummy, gotta try this...thanks for sharing
Looks really delicious.
Up here in Ontario, Canada, we don't have fresh crabs. (Turtles and pollywogs, but no crabs :-)
So we go to the local Loblaws store and buy a couple of kilos of frozen King Crab legs.
Take them home and boil them in a big pot of water. Score the shells lengthwise with an Exacto knife. Sear them on the BBQ until a nice, smoky flavour.
Then serve with melted garlic butter and a nice, cold Molson Canadian for the cook.
Cheers from Canada :-)
Only in America! Yum! Great Cook! This man has a lot of patience and love for his food..
Thanks for watching

That sauce you made just got to taste so heavenly good...in my head I was already making seafood bisque out of it...last night when I had the whiskey in my glass heh heh. Yeps this dish you made should be something I should be eating for sure ! ! Thank you for sharing. :)
+Paivi Project Thanks for watching it twice Paivi! That is awesome and glad you liked it! The sauce actually is a bisque, but I reduced it down more to thicken it up to use as a sauce. Would be great as a bisque right out of a bowl, with french bread on the side.
awesome recipe and tutorial. thanks!
+Bruce Sprague Thank you and your welcome :)
I love beef and other meats but wow Russ, you're really talking my language on this one. What a great job you did, flawless!
+Jean Croton Thank you Jean! I sure appreciate that, and thanks so much for watching :)
great video !! I love blue's and cant wait to try this recipe
Smoky Rib's good job on the staff crabs. Good job Thank you Lydia Johnson from Chicago
I am jealous, that looks great. I would do it the way you did but use far less hot spice. Going blue crabbing in June and intend to follow your lead on this!! Good job
+mark shean These weren't spicy, but you can definitely adjust to your own preference. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks, never saw how to pick crab meat, learned a lot. Appreciate the instructions, you do a great job on your videos. Thanks
+Bill Schadeberg Your welcome, and glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you watching and commenting :)
That's the best dish I have ever seen in my life.
That's what I'm talking about. Wow" Looking good down south.
Arbita makes Fantastic beers! Shout out!
Great video, got me and my better half all riled up for some crab now. Can you cook the shrimp in the same spiced up liquid that you used to cook the crab?
+Mark O Thank you! We have to get our crab fix on a regular basis here, lol! Yes you can cook the shrimp in the liquid, but it's normally done with the shells and heads still on like I've done in my seafood boil videos, but in this video I did add a little of it into the stuffing, so the shrimp did come in contact with it for added flavor.
What's up Rus! This meal looked fantastic and I always enjoy your videos as you really take the time and provide a thorough explanation of your cook. I know that was a ton of work getting that meat out of the crabs, but I'm sure in the end it was well worth it. Keep up these great videos brother. Take care!
+Matt Covington Thanks Matt! Yes a ton of work, but the kind of work I enjoy. I think the Gumbo video I did December of 2014 was the most labor intensive video I've ever done, but your so right about it being worth the effort at the end. Cheers brother!
That looks so so good.
that look s so good have to try it this spring when crabs come out
Looks amazing can almost can taste it
Dude I have to say that your recipe is the best I've seen for stuffed crabs. If only I lived in an area with good quality grab in which I would try your recipe out myself.... Nonetheless, you're brilliant with your cooking skills and ideas. Keep it up!
Thanks man, I really appreciate the comments! :)
Russ you out did your self good job !
+klippelck Thank you, I sure appreciate it!
I loved everything about this video and recipe. It made me realize that I am lazy, will be ordering it but not making it. Too much time. I had no idea the time in just crab picking!!
+Jeff Ward Yeah, I would not want to do crab picking for a living! Sure makes you appreciate what these people do day in and day out. I appreciate Jeff! Thanks for watching man!
Does Blue Crab need that much seasoning or is it just a preferred recipe? I am used to eating lobster and crab boiled in salt water only where you can taste the flavor of the actual meat.
I do like what you did with the shells of the shrimp.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow! My Maw Maw from New Orleans (Lakeview) made a very similar dish. I could almost taste it when you were done. Excellent video
Thanks, glad you liked the video! Yep, just normal eating in this part of the world, especially New Orleans :)
Dear God this looks amazing!
Do you have a recommendation for a temp and time if I wanted to finish these in the oven instead of on the grill? Thank you, looks amazing!
Boy I'm behind watching everyone's videos, Boil water has a great flavor in seafood recipes. Yum Rus this looks fantastic
I'm behind too JB. Just never enough time in a day to get it all done it seems. Thanks, I sure appreciate it!

Will do, I'm from Texas but live in Austria so your recipes are like home to me and cooking is my hobby!
The image of all the crabs cooked at 3:07 in the blue container is definitely instagram worthy. Ugh, so jealous. I haven't been crabbing since I was a child. Anyways, keep up with the great recipes & videos.
+DarkSouljah Thank you, I did forget to upload photos to instagram, so I will do that in a few! I've always loved crabbing since I was a child. So fun and relaxing with good eats as well :)
Awesom looken stuffed crab and awesom video great job
Do you not use old bay seasoning in your cooking? These look delicious!
Sure I do. I keep Old Bay on hand at all times. Didn't use it on this cook however.
I'm a new subscriber and didn't know you was in Southern MS. I retired out of Keesler last Oct and lived in Vancleave. Sure do miss the food there. Great vids and thanks for the memories.
+Rocketeer70 First thanks for subscribing! Keesler is very close to where I live here in Biloxi. I've met a few people from my channel that live near by. Very cool! Wish we could have met while you were here. Thanks again I appreciate it!
Alright Rus now you have gone and done it :-) We LOVE crab :-) This my friend is going right into my CULINARY playlist :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

YUM! I'm going to take out my kayak and check my crab traps today. If there's anything in them I may have to try this recipe.

Takes time an patience to shell out that much crab meat but man its worth it.Thanks for another great video
