Hi Adam, Thanks for your comments, glad you like the vids! Good call, we will do a halibut prep as soon as we can. Got quite a lot on for the next few weeks, but as soon as we get a spare weekend (without rain!) we'll pick one up and produce the vid.
well thank you very much it was very interesting just to watch hoping to be catching a brown crab for my dinner, now i can see what i need to do to eat it safely and properly :)
Hello, yes the females will have more brown meat. Sometimes part of the brown meat (tomally) will be quite orange in colour - this is the roe, and is perfectly edible, just mix it up with the rest of the meat.
I think you missed a lot of the purse meat. I don't think that the cuts you made are the best- it's better to cut the purse in 2 pieces first and then for each half, make a horizontal cut along the axis of all the joints to cut it into 2 top and bottom halves. this will expose all the meat inside. The 3 vertical cuts you made doesn't expose everything. I do like the leg-scoring method though. that is pretty cool.
I have eaten all kinds of crab...but this Brown crab?? Brown meat?? It's just guts and digestive tracks and 'mustard' correct?? Im kinda grossed out a bit. I'm used to blue,Dungeness, stone crabs. Is this in England or ?? ... can someone enlighten me? Thanks!
+Malina Mc prob just a regional (English) term- UK: brown meat, US: crab mustard, Japan: crab miso, China: crab paste for male, crab gold for female, btw, the crab mustard is hepatopancreas + eggs or sperm. also you prob noticed they say "purse", on the East Coast, it's called the cluster.
+Lucky Lucas This is Malina mc (lucas-McGinley) can you guys send a dozen or so to the states? or do u have a contact to do this? lots of lucas' in these posts below. ... any way to ship here? txs!
+Lucky Lucas can you send any crabs to Mississippi? I would send u $ to be able to tri these crabs. it's it allowed? asking bc my full name is Malina lucas McGinley. please let me know asap. also malina1818@gmail.com. thanks guys! can't wait! yummy!
@@csi4law trust me this type of crab is beyond amazing. The brown meat may not look good but it actually isn't the guts. It's mostly fat and calorie storage of the crab. Also includes the roe. The guts are actually attached to the face/mouth of the crab. Trust me if you eat the gut sack by accident you'll regret and know what you've done right away XD. I mean unless the crab hasnt eaten for a year looool. I've only seen this crab here on the canadian east coast like once every two three years the asian store will get only a handfull of them and sell them right away lol. It is on par with live snow crab and live king crab. Honestly the yield is incredible but just be carefull of the black leg hairs. They're nothing like a dungeness's hair XD They are legit needles.
Arshad Nifa No, it’s the crab’s internal organs, and, I think, the tissues that lay down the cab’s new shell annually. Easiest to think of it as the crab’s ‘liver’, and oddly, it does taste a bit like a crabby liver paté, really creamy and tasty. The crab’s digestive system is pretty simple, there’s a stomach which will come away with the mouthparts, then a thin gut which leads to the anus - very little room for sh!t to accumulate!
this looks really professional
Thanks for the video, so neat! My husband and son will have their very first brown crab for dinner tonight, I hope they both love it.
God tier proficiency and presentation😍
Great job. Thanks for the lesson.
Great video, I've been eating crab all my life and finally know how to dress them properly.

Another super vid guys. Love your chanel
Hi guys, great videos, so relaxed. Is there any chance you could fillet a small halibut? Including portions and blood line. ThAnks Adam
Very well presented
Very good you show what bit one shouldn't eat.

I only see eight legs on this crab - including the claws
I think you should buy a lobster pick not that expensive best of luck
Is brown meat is shit of crab?
Well if you veeerrry carefully remove it, veeerrry delicately, you get lots of veerry beautiful rice grains of brown shit.
And yes it tastes awful.
