Been down the river Fal this afternoon and found three beautiful brown crab while foraging. Brought them home, popped them in the freezer for 30 mins, did the spike wiggle procedure, then returned to Jay for advice on how to proceed. Absolutely beautiful! Moving down to Cornwall was the best thing I have ever done for my family, and me too!!! 😍 🦀
In my land it is a sin to eat the meat of shellfish and sea creatures as it’s the devils meat. For crab we eat the gills and the shell and eyes as it is better tasting and more nutrients for working in the sulfur mines.
Yo Smash, dropping by my frequently viewed youtubers to say thanks. My right lung collapsed 100% (twice) and I've been in the hospital or recovering for the last month. Yalls videos really helped take the edge off. (Especially in the hospital when they wouldn't let my kids come see me for three weeks) appreciate ya man. Kirk
@@SMASHFISHING @SMASH FISHING! thanks man. Modern medicine is amazing, 3 chest tubes, cut off one lobe of right lung and stapled it closed. Back to work in 20 days after surgery. I like pretty much all of your videos. But particularly like the ones when you go out with your friends or dad on their boats. Keep up the good work!
Since you’re using a chopstick... A famous Chinese novel (Dream of the Red Chamber, 1791) has an entire scene devoted to eating crab. The most desirable parts were the brown meat and roe served with vinegar and fresh chopped ginger. Crab is really good that way. BTW, when my son goes camping, he just brings a knife and chopsticks. They’re light and extremely versatile. Love your videos!
Your so lucky to have such great produce on your doorstep. In my shooting days I was able to enjoy game & venison. You can’t beat fresh ingredients. Great stuff Jay, keep up the good work.
Truer words have never been spoken. Im lucky enough to be able to do some pot fishing myself. Landed 13 big lobsters in under 3 weeks of fishing. 10 more, but was released with eggs. Crabs is in an abundance, and i can easily fish 100s of them in a few weeks. Venison i get from my parents who owns Deer land. I dont shoot myself though.
We got the same crab here in Denmark and it’s my favorite. They mostly sell the claws at the monger. I prefer this “taskekrabbe” over lobster! Best meat ever!
Nothing better than this! Grew up eating alot Brown crab, in my opinion the best one 😊 my granddad used to eat the house like an apple 😂 big crunch and just spitting the shell ut.
It's interesting to see how people from around the world pick crabs. Here in the eastern US, I was taught how to pick blue crabs, and then when I moved to the west coast, I learned how to pick dungeness. We usually pull off the legs, then peel back the apron and pry off the upper shell while holding the bottom (leg chambers). It's both weird and cool seeing how other people accomplish the same thing. :) It'd be neat if you and Fisherman's Life could do a colab some day since your channels seem very similar. (He does west coast fishing and crabbing and cooking out on the rocks, mostly solo.) Cheers man and thanks for the vid!
Body meat is amazing , be it crab , or lobster . I always buy Big Lobsters , because I LOVE the bodies , the meat is so so sweet !!!!! And people throw it away !!!! The crows are mad when I am done , I pick them that clean !!!! Great video , Thanks !!!!
Boy, I sure love fresh crab, good job Jay👍🏻😂😂crab is my favorite after lobster.❤️ I’d rather crack the shell and get the meat out whole but everyone does their own way. I only dig out the body meat everything else is whole big pieces. Yummy 😋 where’s Sam when you need him😂
Quite an interesting video. I never realized just how much meat you can pick from just one crab. Thanks for sharing The experience Smash. Cheers from Canada. Catch you on the next one👍🇨🇦
Huge pity I have some sort of allergy to crab meat, three times I've eaten it and on all occasions I've been ill and can't stop scratching, so although not for me, this has been a good demonstration video. Thanks for posting.
Hey Smash. Me and the biy have made some crabbing wheels like yours and Sam's. We're in cornwall. Do you reckon there are any crabs around this time of year. Cheers
I was taught to crack the claws with a spoon 🥄 because it makes a hairline fracture instead of smashing it with eg a hammer, that makes the unvented fracture bits. Use the curved side of the spoon. It’s not as messy as a hammer.
I use a sour cream 80% and mayo 20% and one clove of garlic and a good sprinkle of dill for a dipping sauce for the meat. Make this in advance so the garlic can infuse the sauce. Oh btw also a tablespoon of strong mustard
As a crabby old man I just simply love eating crabs. Not the kind that you get from your girlfriend! On a serious note I usually put some vinegar in the water when I put the crabs in the boiling water. It makes the meat comes out of the shell and claws easier.
hey boss...you need some old bay seasoning for the water and some crab boil...makes a huge difference in the final product..if you cant get it where you are..let me know,Ill mail you some from here in the USA..trust me on this...please.
@SMASH FISHING! Not only do i need a sugar mummy but she must also possess a grandeur boat than yours. I will put your fishing skills to shame if you allowed me to show you the ropes. Have a splendid weekend old chum ! and much obliged for sharing your marvellous fishing trip with us. I must admit, you are quite an angler, lot better than that clumsy lousy Geordie of Robson Green. I adore his videos though. Hope he won't be reading my comments. fare thee well. 👋👋🖐👍👍😉
This is something I would never do before this video, but now I can’t wait to have a go! Cheers Smash Fishing. Ps why are they called Dead Mans Fingers?
"Wo-a”. When you're thirsty, grab a cup of Wo-a. Edit: nobody really cares about who's first, there's no competition. Plus, you won't get acknowledged for being first
Hey mate love your content. I love sea food and looking to come to your neck of the woods. Any advice on where I can go with my girlfriend and impress her lol
I came here to see how crabs are edible due to my country in east Africa that do not eat crabs since not our habit. The price of fish/meat (all food in general) gone up and become unafordable for poor people who are dying of hunger, so I have asked a friend of mine to promote and teach people to cooke and eat crabs (since they are almost free) or other sea food that these poor dont have idea how healthy and tasty they are but I was criticized and everyone laughed at me call me insane to ask those poor to eat crabs. RIP Africa.
I respect u for killing it first before cooking it..... U know , some people like to cook crab , lobster etc without killing it first like korean , japanese and chinese people...

Smash, here is a tip for cooking crab and lobster. To get rid of the smell add 1 can of coconut milk to your water. It works amazingly!
@April Shallow I suppose giving it a shot might help. But I've never tried it that way. Sorry.

A chop stick 🤷🏻♀️ Who knew??? What a great idea!!!! I've picked a fair share of crab in my days and now I can't wait to do so using your method!!! 🦀
Ive done this for a living, and I would prefer a small spoon with a straight handle about ten millameters across. But each to their own.
You missed the most delicate part, which is in the nipper part of the claw. Absolutely delicious
Those are some beasts size crabs jay ,,thanks for sharing a nother great video definitely looks delicious ...hell yeah

Great stuff again Jay
Always called them Pasty Crabs. Look just like a Cornish Pasty lol. Another great video from Smash!
Huge pity I have some sort of allergy to crab meat, three times I've eaten it and on all occasions I've been ill and can't stop scratching, so although not for me, this has been a good demonstration video. Thanks for posting.
Thats like watching some1 peel peanuts if you would die of em and still say thankyou for the info
Nice video Smash man , very informative .
Nice lot of fish in that one mate. Love brown crab.
Like the method every days a school day I use a bamboo skewer as well .I mix the brown and white together every time in a sandwich 🥪 it’s unbelievable
Hey Smash. Me and the biy have made some crabbing wheels like yours and Sam's. We're in cornwall. Do you reckon there are any crabs around this time of year. Cheers
Do you time that 15 minutes from when you put them in or from when it reaches rolling boil again ?
Always good videos 👍👍
Great informative vid there mate
Brown meat is lovely, blend it all together, job done
Oh that Mustard from Blue Crabs and Dungeness Crabs
Gotta behave it with the meat....Yum
I was taught to crack the claws with a spoon 🥄 because it makes a hairline fracture instead of smashing it with eg a hammer, that makes the unvented fracture bits. Use the curved side of the spoon. It’s not as messy as a hammer.
Those crabs sure have a lot of meat!😳😄🦀

Top job buddy ...i cant w8 for summer so i can dive for crabs ect .....top content buddy !
I use a sour cream 80% and mayo 20% and one clove of garlic and a good sprinkle of dill for a dipping sauce for the meat. Make this in advance so the garlic can infuse the sauce. Oh btw also a tablespoon of strong mustard
Imagine if aliens would call us "pink edible monkeys"
As a crabby old man I just simply love eating crabs. Not the kind that you get from your girlfriend!
On a serious note
I usually put some vinegar in the water when I put the crabs in the boiling water. It makes the meat comes out of the shell and claws easier.
Looks like a lot of work, but seems well worth the effort. Great video!
Any chance you could do the same cooking vid with spider crab please?
Yeah when the spider are in season 👍
Thanks, appreciated.
Great stuff again jay . You should go on master chef mate smash Ramsey....hell yeah 😀😉😊
hey boss...you need some old bay seasoning for the water and some crab boil...makes a huge difference in the final product..if you cant get it where you are..let me know,Ill mail you some from here in the USA..trust me on this...please.
I hit the claws with a hammer.
Nothing like Old Bay and Crab Boil to make seafood better. I love the smell and taste.
You really do craving that crab meat

5:48 always apologise to your crab meat
Hey mate love your content. I love sea food and looking to come to your neck of the woods. Any advice on where I can go with my girlfriend and impress her lol
Brown meat is the best part for me Jay so sweet and tasty 😋
mmmmmmmmm crabalish
Like a nice yield lol
Have you been kicked out the house for cooking your crabs? (That sounds so wrong 🙈)
No just the smell of cooking them all in the house lol
*sigh* 🙄🤷 one of these days you'll rest the crabs upside Jay lol
More like the mrs/mum shouts get it out the house (insert name here)!!! Least you can eat it to yourself 👍

Where’s the Louisiana crab boil?
And the soak???
Looks tasty
Smash that like button Woa.
I respect u for killing it first before cooking it..... U know , some people like to cook crab , lobster etc without killing it first like korean , japanese and chinese people...
15 minutes is way to little. I boil them for 25 minutes there about. You get more flavour, and the meat firms up a bit. But stays tender and juicy.
When see canned crab, do you laugh?
The word "water" has a T in it mate. Lol
Wata 🤣
We don’t pronounce T if it’s in the middle of words here in Colorado too. Wader, moun’’n
Dead mans fingers ?
