I'm cooking crab for dinner and I was hoping there was an easier way to eat it but it looks like I've been eating it just the same as everyone else after all.
armatures, why didn't you pull the leg at each joint so that you can remove the cartilage that hold the meat together in the leg out and that way you can get the whole section of the leg intact? Doing more work then needed...
@milesmalmquist I went back to listen & at 4:48 ish he said "Mami Goodness" no "U" anywhere uttered. Regardless my ears perked & my emotions found it smile worthy 😂🤝
The information in this video should not be followed for live crab. According to research, crab can stay alive in boiling water / steam for quite a few minutes making it a horrible and inhumane way to die. The most humane way to kill crab is to destroy the two brain/nerve centres as quickly as possible. The easiest way to do this is to first flip the crab onto its back. Then, line up a large knife along the middle of the underside of the crab. The brain/nerve centres are located between the eyes and where the "apron" meets on the male crab. That is the little part that flips open on the bottm that looks like a lighthouse. Using your hand or a rubber mallet, quickly and in one fluid motion force the knife down to cut the crab in two. I like to take the two halves of the crab and using the tip of the knife, further destroy the two brain/nerve centres to be sure. If you're trying to save the top of the shell for presentation or if you don't plan on cleaning the crab before steaming/boiling, you can use your knife or a sharp object like an awl to quickly stab the two brain/nerve sections. Make sure you get the tip in there and destroy them both as quickly as possible. Other inhumane ways of killing crab that are popular is to rip off the top shell as shown in the video, but before cooking. Research has shown that the crab will remain alive for quite a while like this as the brain/nerves are not destroyed. It is the equivalent of getting your head ripped off and staying alive without your body for an extended time. You see many fishermen doing this at the docks, but in many places this is illegal. The top shell in most places must be kept with the crab until it is home or about to be cooked. This is so a fisheries officer can check the legal size. Please don't use this method as it is really inhumane. The other is putting it in the freezer. Crab are cold blooded and will slow down in cold temps. However, research has shown that extreme temps like this invoke stress responses in the crab and it could be as uncomfortable for them as it would be for any other creature. Please kill your crab in a humane way and ask that your grocer/fish monger does the same. These are delicious animals and a great treat, but I think they taste better with a clear conscience.
One final note. Be cautious when eating anything from the top of the shell. Crab filter toxins and impurities through the viscera / hepatopancreas which is the "mustard." This organ can have a buildup of domoic acid and can lead to poisoning. It is recommended that crab be cleaned before steaming/boiling as to not leech the poison into the water/meat. The poison does not break down during cooking, so it can contaminate the crab.
@@crazylegsmurphy well just curious about if you care about crabs suffering, how do you feel about inhuman abortions. Some folks brains are all screwed up.
Does killing babies with abortion bother you at all. I mean you get sick watching a live crab dopped in boiling boiling. If abortion doesn't bother you, I think you need a brain adjustment.
I'll tell you I don't eat the entrance of any crab I don't care what you call it juices or what you want to call it but I'm not eating it can I eat many a Dungeness crab 🤠😎🤠

They really need to invent an automatic crab shelling machine. I would invest! Thanks for watching!

Out of everything in this video Dude got me with Mami-Goodness. Never heard that one at 54 years old that. 😂😂😂😂 You earned that Thumbs Up.👍
He actually said Umami which is a word that basically means savory
@@milesmalmquist Thanks. I've never heard either. Always willing to expand. 🤝

Can I boil the whole crab into the water with the fish and rice and then put it out or the boiling will release toxins? Thank you!
Would you drink the crab butter

It's so love 😂❤

@@brickboo1well. That was complete nonsense. Bot.

Can you boil these already cooked ones?
Yes, you can. In fact, another customer at the store recommended to re-boil and you can also add additional seasonings then. Thanks for watching!
After paying a lot for these crabs, why would you want to leach all their flavor and nutrients into the boiling water - again?
True... I'm sure you can actually season the crab even more while steaming, no?
3.99 a lbs??? my gawd i am in Canada and just ordered 2 live dungeness crabs direct from a fisherman.. competitive prices at $ 35 per crab
Prices really do come down during peak season, but last year was a very short window. Thanks for watching!
You ate less than half the meat and threw the rest away lol
Chef สวัสดี🎉🍴🍽🧑🍳
Why can’t you eat everything that’s chewable and edible?? will you get sick?

Seems like a lot of work for such little reward .
He did it the long way. ❤ He’ll learn.

10 min for just reheat is way too much. and not cleaning it before heating???
2 cubes of melted butter & a half a lemon juice to the butter in that bowl of cleaned crab, now that is living..
😂都幾肉酸，溶溶爛爛。
Good give it to me.
Your background music choice sucks. Had to turn off the sound, oh wait, then I can’t hear you talk.
