my mind is fked. just imagine. a huge crab making a youtube short on how to cook humans. Just imagine a Man sized crab going . 😮😄😃ok we start by breaking apart. *ferociously rips arms, hand, legs off * now we chope- .
That’s the nicest cartoon looking crab i’ve ever seen! It’s so big and bright red! Looks like a spongebob crab lol 🦀 Here in Massachusetts I’ve only seen mostly blue crab, never that much crab meat!
This video really makes me appreciate my Dad and his love of seafood. He taught us how to do this and also peel prawns around 12 years old. Main reason was you could only eat what you picked or peeled. For a while there dad was eating most of the seafood 😂
Also need a black light not a necessity but for beginners, crab shells are completely fluorescent meant if u use a black light when breaking down and separating the meat from the shell it makes it easy pick out the shells
You get crab crackers at ikea . Very helpful to crack the legs especially. Also , if you go to Thailand ask them for the tool to extract crab meat , it does the work of both the pincers and the poking tool . Between the cracker and this tool you’ll get every piece of crab meat , out .

I'm from Southern Maryland. Blue crab country. If you showed up with all those tools to a crab house without that accent wouldn't nobody have no mercy on you. 😆 Also, I can tell you boiled that crab. Try using beer with a splash of apple cider vinegar to steam it. I promise that's how it's done homie.
Ca crabber here. Another easy way is to bend the tail back and pull it off making a hole, insert thumbs into the hole and you can separate the shell from the legs at once. Clean the gills and mouth off the legs section and you then havea nice grouping of legs.
I find it easier to extract body meat if you leave the legs on. Crack the crab in half but then take those halves and crack them like you'd slice a roll for a burger. Then use the leg with the meat still attached to pull it all out at once.
I grew up as a 5 year old picking Chesapeake Bay blue crabs and I gotta say you did a swell job. I never had tools other than my teeth and hands but I wasn’t a chef either lol
Oh dear, reminds me of my childhood. Dad would come home at what felt like 1000 blue crabs and I had to clean them. I can still feel the gills in my hands….. the knuckles will always be my favorite of any crab.
Very nice!! One critique though with the small crab legs, use a roller set it on the cutting board roll from one end of the other the meat squeezes right out perfectly every time🙂
as a guy grew up on an island, i have to say, going through the mess while eating a crab is part of the fun...especially the smell of the shell and the meat
My grandma used to make a great crab casserole. We also used to have crab baskets we’d go put out in the gulf when we were down there on vacation. Love me some fresh blue crab.
The high pitched "hehe" when he shoots the meat right into the bowl had me 😂😂😂...such an adorable guy !

Just what i wanted to say, Andy has a lovely giggle!🤣
That crab:- adorable huh
The crab shell glows under a black light. Useful for finding the tiny shards of shell in the meat.
Thanks for the tip.
What a great tip!
Thanks so much !
Wow I had no idea! Fantastic tip!
Black light??
I picked crab in Maine…once. I decided that crab pickers deserve their money.
and any place where crab is cooked will immediately smell awful
@Thomas eh but crab is still tasty...same with steak n lobster
@@ricardorascon88 literally no one else I have ever known has also done that. Finally glad to see someone that likes lobster and steak too lol
@@manaholic1680people don’t like steak and lobster? It’s literally the best pairing with steak besides shrimp

Best way to check for shell in your crabmeat is a blacklight. Shells glow with blacklight
Who knew ? 😮. Thanks !
Damn that’s cool
😮I didn't know that. Good to learn
Mr Krabs at the chiropractor's:
The chiropractor that plankton recommended. As in it was a set up to kill Mr. Krabs finally.
@@ImTheCrook187 thats so cruel even for plankton's standard. All he wanted was just the recipe and domination over Krabs 😢

@@codynewton5034he did what with his tentacle ?
@@codynewton5034 AYO WTF DID I JUST READ 💀💀💀
Don't forget a small blacklight. The small bits of shell will glow and make it easier to sift through and remove 👍
I have watched from day one,and everyday it is a positive vibe, keep on.
Thank you !
FACTS. Such a great vibe from him
Are you feeling it now Mr Krabs?
How is it positive to dismember an animal on video?
@andy_cooks so true though! Really cheers you up plus inspires a great dinner idea, too x
“This is where your *long tool* comes in handy.”
Hehe, thanks Andy.
That's what she said.
I’ve been told that before lol
💀
Was looking for this
Ayoo
That “hehe” got me 😂
Don't forget a little vinegar in the water when you cook. It helps the meat come way from the shell
Please keep the educating shorts going. They are super helpful !!
Great idea to explain the technique 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As a Filipino, this is also how I pick crab, sans the hammer and tweezers. A spoon with the right technique works as a hammer too.
"As a Filipino" he says.... for fucks sake.
"HEHE" Im glad he has fun cooking. It makes it way better! 😀
Reminds me of a chiropractor 😂. Also the little "hehe!" ☺
As someone who lived in Maryland for a time, I’ll say that your form is good
He needs to spend a season on the Chesapeake Bay. Those folks can do it better than anyone.
@Carter Neil yeah we do it down here. They do it to. Our lake crab is a pain though. They can be tedious. But than that just becomes combo crab if they not all that
Fr my dad would have two crabs down by now. He scarf those things down and only uses a wooden hammer for the crawls
Imagine waking up and hearing "Start by breaking all the legs off"
Only Chef Andy is smooth enough to Pop the crab meat out of the shell, and into his prep bowl. LoL awesome job 🔥
Hey walter, i make sum uniquely good asian food videos... Can i invite ya over to visit me too @ Food Kart Channel 😋
As someone in the Chesapeake Bay Area I can confirm this is how you pick a crab
Same haha
Tweezers?
I lived in MD my whole life. Never once have I seen someone use tweezers to grab the meat...
Your accent makes this so much more enjoyable to watch
100% agree the middle part of the crabs is the best part. Especially that yellow bit (forgot what its called). Heaven.
Thank you Andy! Your tutorials are really useful and I find myself coming back to them whenever I'm cooking.
Thank you chef Andy have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 😋😋😋
Definitely gonna try this!

Vision teaching us how to cook Mr Krabs
Lol! He does remind me of Vision from MCU now that you mention that.

That’s a healthy looking crab

Perfect disection to a Tee. One of my favourite crustacean. You are brilliant
That's how I use to do desection in my biology laboratory. 😂😂
Please tell me which hospital your going to work, so i can be miles away from there🗿
It may be either way. I hope you will be looking for surgery by my hands. I am oncologist.
Moussaka please chef!! I’m starving, I’ve been waiting for me order for ages!!!!
Will refer to this if I ever purchase crab!
Better do it soon price is skyrocketing
Awsome tutorial thnx bro!!
There’s no way that crab meat would make it to the bowl😋 Chef has way more discipline than me😂
You’re so much more relaxed and cooler than Gordon Ramsey
That is the most crab meat I’ve seen come from a single crab. 😂
The crab’s soul watching this: “you monster!”
😂
Would love to see polish recipes!
Noted!
@@andy_cooks🇵🇱
I live in Oregon and we go crabbing for Dungeness often. My mom always likes the claws but I'm with you, I think the body has the best flavor!
For some reason I always hope someday I get to see some behind the scenes of Andy cursing and swearing while cooking
Also need a black light not a necessity but for beginners, crab shells are completely fluorescent meant if u use a black light when breaking down and separating the meat from the shell it makes it easy pick out the shells
crab sandwiches with some salt and pepper, minto

I live in Maryland also. His crab looks way juicier. Maryland blue crabs claws are not as big as his is.
@@michellewashington4522 dude. That crab is probably three times the size of the biggest blue crab. You must be at the top of your class.
That was a gorgeous crab! We usually only have snow, Dungeness, queen and king crab here in California.

Looks delicious! My favorite way of eat crab meat is dipping in a soy sauce and lemon juice mixture.

All that water coming out while breaking the shells definitely tastes like heaven

Geez, that crab is a Supermodel!
Been doing this since I was a kid, no tools, just an occasional bang on the other side of my knife. Good job chef!

Love your content. Definitely leaning alot for you.
“Crab on toast” gah bless these people 😂😂
use a blacklight it helps with picking oit the shell bits as they glow under blacklight just a tip
Andy next time give us a dish with the Crab 🦀 please.
A kiwi trying to tell an Aussie how to crack a crab is sacrilege.
Chiropractors:
“Take a nice deep breath for me” 😂
"here's where the long tool comes in Andy"🤣
Bonus tool. A back-light will help with checking for shells. They will glow!
If there’s any confusion one where Andy comes from, it was immediately dispelled when he said “crab on toast”😂 I love our people 😂😂
I do eat food. But it's usually late at night down a RUclips hole I get onto these and man I want crab now.
FINALLY Someone who gets all the meat out of the legs whereas most people are too lazy and Wasteful to do so and throw them away. GREAT JOB CHEF !
I kept hearing “this is where the long tools come in Andy”
Huge tip for sorting the meat. The small slivers of shell light up under blacklight in the dark and the meat doesnt
" This is where your long tool comes in handy". Snicker 😆
Thanks. This seems like it'll be helpful in the future
