- Slow fishing down in Delaware, Figured this was the perfect time to try eating sand fleas.. I've heard mixed reviews as to how these things taste and was curious so cooked some up for breakfast and found they are pretty bad.. maybe not so bad.., overall not worth it. Tan threw some on a slice of Pizza which he said was good.. this whole thing is very questionable.

Used a Rake like this to collect the fleas- amzn.to/2ifzCBA

Good recipe for those. Soak them in lemon and let them dry on a cardboard. Throw away sand fleas and eat cardboard

Why am I up at 3am watching people eat sand fleas?
I dont know but I applaud your decision
Dude I read this right at 3 am
omg it's 3 and I'm watching it to mind blown😕😕😮😮
Closet Heterosexual dont ask me ive been up for 3 days
12:34 AM here...
Its not bad at all..."almost vomits"
Chris Redfield lmao 😂
Those are mole crabs aka sand crabs, not sand fleas. The mole crabs you are catching don't bite and they live in the water. Sand fleas do bite, they jump (like a flea), and they live in the sand. Sand fleas are also a lot smaller than mole crabs, they are pretty small.
yeah, they had me very confused because they were so big and lived in the water
Just looked them up n they r the same thing (mole crab, sand crab or sand flea) with the Puerto ones been somewhat smaller. Either one is not summet I'd fancy eating!
catherine english I'm a marine biologist. They are not the same animal though both are crustaceans. The name "sand flea" is often misused though to describe mole crabs.
That being said, that's the problem with common names. They can be the same name attributed to several different animals and the more I've looked into it, the more animals I find that are called Sand Fleas. So, yes, I acknowledge that sometimes mole crabs are called sand fleas even though that name much more accurately describes Orchestia agilis.
There are also actual fleas, called Chigoe fleas, that can live on the beach and are regularly called Sand Fleas. They have painful itchy bites and they sometimes burrow into the skin to lay eggs parasitically.
The creatures in this video aren't a kind of flea at all though. They belong to the genus Emerita and are a type of crab.
All of this really points to why scientific names are important rather than the common name being "wrong" I guess.
But just to be clear, Emerita (in this video) don't bite.
MLATX512 I’m a marine biologist too!! 🦈🤗🐬
Keep the shell on. Add some lemon before you cook them. Old bay and deep fry them. Then throw that shit away and order a pizza.
MLG YODA lol
Damn how did i geg so many likes lol
Get*
LMAO
I hear dog fleas are good this time of year.
Those are sand tics
Na I like dirt fleas
I grew up in Bethany Beach and my family called these sandcrabs. But sandfleas sounds better.
Have you ever had *roasted* dog fleas! yummyy
What?
They taste like soft shell crabs. It's only worth it to eat the bigger ones. Take the main shell off, toss in a coating and cook in butter. Top with a twist of lemon. Delicious!!
TheJw1358 they get up to 3 inches long
Wow
Really Real :0
Guts and all? :0
megan leitch He says take the shell off.
7:14 "Dude it's bad."
Tan: *munch munch munch* Whatever you say man.
Lmfao, best part of the whole video.
'Those dont look bad' Are you kiding me? They look vile af! BLERK!
BLERK! I'm adding that to my arsenal of gross words. Thanks homie.
lmao nps xD
Yes I agree that's sick
Blerk is an interesting word.
Just looks like a fat shrimp. I’m sure you’ve seen a crabs face close up... Way more vile lmao Like a nightmare.
That's Delaware fishing for ya .. catch nothing and eat your bait ... sucks here badly
Dominick Vavala 🤣🤣🤣 this had me crying
Dominick Vavala lmao im done
The roaches of the sea
veronique spence lobsters are the roaches of the see these are the flees.
Look like damn termite's
They’re also called sand turtles... can call them the turtles of a millimeter under the sand.
Thats Shrimp
Ok, but i want them to be the roaches not the fleas, thanks
Oh brother...last time I saw Sand Fleas eaten was on Fisherman's Life channel. That stuff looked disgusting. You got guts, mannnnnn....though, Tan Bui prepared them nicely. Dude knows what he is doing. He eats everything. 😂😂😂
Extreme Philly Fishing aaaaaaaaaa
Lowkey thought ur profile pic was kim jong un
Faze Da2 you gottem lmao
Seafood cooked in butter can't go wrong 90% of the time. Probably because I grew up on the water so I love seafood lol
Extreme Philly Fishing 🎣
just seems wrong to me to eat something that is called Flea and you left their little feet on!
Lorrie Ruff another name is Sandra crab
Nothing wrong about it
“Its not bad”-> eats 2, gags and freaks out
LOL wow, your boy Tan is eating the hell out of that!
raWr Fishing This is a popular food in SE Asia.
raWr Fishing ii
@Jean P. G. They eat anything that moves
Typical Asian
Jean P. G. Nobody cares
Adding a splash of Olive Oil to your butter will raise its smoking point allowing you to get a better Fry without darkening so much.
Also try not to crowd the Pan. Or bigger pan. Better results! Cheers👍
Cris Escobedo 🙏🏾
Is it normal to eat the shell.
Also do you think that it would make a good fish stock.
shonya Idk but Worth a try since they are Free.
They are free but they are alive. Eat what you pick.
Sand fleas on pizza for breakfast...
Max Chronister Still probably better than anchovies
Isn’t that nasty that fishy breath 🤢
coolio diablo anchovies its good man
Sorryiwin I mean I guess they are, that is if you like eating super salty oily rubbery little fish head bones and all.
Better than pineapple
I think they are called sand fleas because they taste like fleas. Meaning you don't eat them
Everywhere
You are a RUclips traveler you have been everywhere
In the future, fleas are considered a delicacy. 3071 is a really weird year.
Except people don't actually eat fleas, so comparing their taste to fleas is dumb.
I see you everywhere! !!
Eff that noise I'm never going in the ocean again
your friend eating the hell out of them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he aisian fool that why!!!!!
michael sibilia where the fucked did you go to school its Asian not Aisian dumbass
michael sibilia you racist fuck
michael sibilia asians don't waste anything
• Izumi • as an Asian, we eat lots of weird stuff
He's Asian, if he says they're done..Trust me. they're done..And its good to see Nev again from catfished have'nt seen you in awhile bro..
Bryant Peoples lmao wtf 😂😂💀
He does look like Nev. 🤣
This guy’s ethnicity makes him a professional cook
Bryant Peoples whoaaaa some racist comments here. I’m Asian, does that normally make me a professional cook...
^He's black, when I say he's talking bullshit... Believe me, he's talking bullshit. I know plenty Asian people who couldn't cook an egg even if their life depended on it.
Didn't even know these existed, now i've already seen them getten eaten
This has changed my view on beaches completely. I'll never be able to walk peacefully on sand again.
More for us carnivorous types then
@@Matthew_S_1985 what? I said it because I won't be able to walk there in peace without thinking one of those could touch my feet ew.. do you eat those? Nasty lmao I could never eat something called "flea"
I always dogged underground and found them and they would hella tickle my hand
This confirms that Tan will eat just about anything
Elliot Burack He's chinese?
Elliot Burack he eats poop too
Elliot Burack he asian looking those people will eat anything from the ocean or even if it moves
I once was fishing up in humbolt for surf perf,, didn't catch shit, I was drunk had a lot of beer, was very hungry ,, I had my mini portable propane stove, but sand crabs were everywhere! I dug up as much as I can eat & with garlic salt then dusted them in flour & pan fried them in olive oil,, shit they tasted pretty good,, maybe you got to be drunk for them to taste good hahaa
I'v'e tried 'em. First few seconds it's a yes, last few seconds it's a hard no.
MostlyFishing why is it a hard no if you already committed to a yes?
Kiing milli meaning they taste great the first few seconds then taste pretty bad
MostlyFishing damn u came back here to comment a 4 hr comment that commented 2 months dammmmnn
Anthony Johnson lol
MostlyFishing how does that work???
Why am I the only one who thinks they look delicious?
RonnieWolfe mmmm
RonnieWolfe your hungry
Cause you're a fucking stupid ass pirate
Marveled editor lol a pirate
It doesn’t look bad, it honestly looks like heavily spiced food, or like popcorn with some flavoring.
I hate it when a video is 10:01 minutes long it shows that the creator cared more about getting more adds to appear in their video than providing continously good content
Special Head well shit i just skip every single one
Youre telling me that theres people that want money? WHAAAT?! NANI?! REEEEE SELL OUTS!
Jesus. Bish id milk the hell out of all those viewers. Its. An. Ad. Mute your mfing phone or something.
Soap Butter or just SKIP ... Its really up to the viewer.. I Do what I WANT
These guys out here eating sand fleas, just chill man they need to make a living
adblock plus nigga
I would have swallowed that kingfish alive before i would eat a plate of fleas
Lll
Brian G If they were actual fleas I'd see your point
Brian G you do know that they're not....nvm
Sean Channie but a bottom dwelling insect filled with parasites is pretty close to it though 😉
Daproperdocter most animals in the world that people eat has parasites lol
Man oh man
I dont even have to watch this video to reply; EWWW dude I still remember what it tastes like uncooked.
🤢🤢🤢😂😂. Hey Elías you have a very nice Fishing Chanel l watch all your videos.
i think if they fried them in a heavier amount of oil the shell wouldn’t have been as noticeable.
i remember replying to a post similar to this some time ago.....i am south african from durban...we get a lot here all year round...we call them sealice...proper name is mole crab...need to shell them and wash out all the innards...then fry them in butter with salt and pepper....excellent!
+Tan Bui is a straight savage!
Ever had battered shrimp DEEP fried with the shell on? You eat everything, including the shell. and head. Crunchy and delicious! Next time batter those sand flies and DEEP fry them... not just fry in a skillet... I'm sure they'd taste different and crunchy and delicious...!
winston kam we do the same thing lol gose grate with green bottle or your choice of beverage 🤙🏽
How do you clean them if you don’t peel them and take the shit out
winston kam take this man's words he looks asian he would know how to eat it .
Yup, and it completely fucks up the taste. After it is done cooking you can see the shit smearing all over the food and their fingers while eating it. It is disgusting. Most of the Asians I have met that eat shell fish this way are completely unaware they are eating shit and will start cleaning them properly after being told what they are putting in their mouth.
"Alexa, what temperature do I cook my sand fleas?"
When I was a child, my grandparents made us catch a lot of sandfleas to put them in soup. They were crunchy but delicious..

Ilagplayz - Minecraft u have to upload some videos man, let's do a collab, email me at themcbaws@gmail.com
That low key looks really good. If I was hungry I'd eat it
me @ your mom
You did all that in the morning and I can’t make a sandwich
5:50 Stove brought to you by Capsule Corp.
I had to look it up, was worth it.
You're the man
Bruhhhhhhhhhhh
just seen it when i read your comment lol
I legit have the same one but it’s not purple
It’s red
So I step on those in the ocean!!!!
Jif Peanut Butter if u have been in the ocean more than once, then yes u have stepped on them!
Last Man Standing oh I don’t like that
I have seen alot on the beach that I went some months ago
That was the 1st time I saw them
Thr264 s i live in Michigan now but as a Child i lived in Hollywood,Fl for about 5 years, i remember catching them in sand castle buckets, didnt bother me at all back then, as an adult looking at them they make my skin crawl, just way too much of an insect look too them!
Yes you do ! I live in California and I remember the first time i noticed them. When I was walking around the shore I noticed everytime a wave hit little holes would form so I started digging and I found them!
lol he actually cleaned them before he cooked them. A lot of RUclips'ers don't clean them at all so they taste sandy and really fishy. So of course its gonna be really nasty. But you clean them properly then fry them and put a sauce on them, they just taste like the sauce, but crunchy.
Tiquiliches! I would hand scoop these out of the sand during the summer out in Mexico. My cousins introduced me to this tasty fleas when I was a kid. These are awesome appetizers!
Wow never thought of going in deeper to find them, GREAT sharing your info Now I know.....somtimes I can find any on certain beaches but you opens my eyes! Always love your seeing your video's and always a BIG THANK You for sharing
I called them sand crabs this whole time. That's what they were called when I first found out about them. The name "sand fleas" sounds more suitable for them though because of the way that they look and because they pretty much are the fleas of the beach. I've alwayse thought about cooking and eating them. I alwayse wondered how they would taste.
Wtf is a sand flea? I literally never knew that was even a thing.
Aquarius They aren’t sand fleas. They’re actually sand crabs/mole crabs. Sand fleas are tropical parasites that burrow into your skin and cause severe infections.
Heard you were at Indian River Inlet the other day, bummed I missed you I was there day before. Would of been cool to meet you. I’m trying to get in on that jersey blitz!
Wait... Sea Money could not catch a fish?? Reduced to eating bait... Well thanks for trying it so I dont have to!
Ok, for a bit i was gonna puke, however what you call sand fleas, i grew up call Sand Shrimp...
Because what i think of when i hear Sand Fleas are shelled peanut sized biting insects....
7:12 “what the hells wrong with you?” Lol I’m dead
You got a lot of food choices in this world and you choose to eat fleas? What a bunch of.....
Sign me in buddy!!! Woaaaa
why does the thought of eating that make me feel weird inside
Justin Reyez its gut instincts. Those sand fleas carry hookworm and tapeworm.
@@paradoxal4 shouldn't it be fine if you cook it though?
how long have you guys been a couple?
Nathan Moss who me and yo momma?
Nathan Moss haha
DriedFruit DAMNNNNNNNNNN
Gay
You Tube Channel shut uppp
How dare u eat my kind
doomsday5635 RIP
I misread it as "eating sand flies" and thought, "man, we need a sand-fly eater"
That crunch made me feel like i wanna try them!
Sand fleas...sounds so appetizing..
I'm afraid of roaches but not afraid of sand fleas for some reason.
Toasty-J cause they are not the same thing
maybe roaches always make sudden moves playing on our instinct of avoiding danger.
Sea crustaceans are roaches of the sea...
because sand fleas are constantly taking salt baths unlike their filthy dry lookalikes
It sounds nasty because he only uses the colloquial term for them. The "sand flea" is a actually a species of crab, the mole crab.
I once buried a bunch of these in a hole when I was at the beach and my brother (who was 4 at the time) was playing near it when a bunch of seagulls started swooping town to eat them and my brother lost it, probably one of the funniest things I've seen.
My dad used to catch those back in his country where they’re larger (El Salvador) and fry them. Now we do that here in the Santa Monica beaches during the summer. They’re sooo good! You don’t even have to separate them from the shells just wash ‘em and plop them on a skillet with some salt and eat them wrapped in a tortilla. ✌🏼
Remember catching them at the beach putting them in a bucket and naming all off them.....
Na this guy will be like I eat this
Fry them Tempura style.
I love going as deep as I can go in the water and scratching at the sand to find baby crabs and sand fleas - when I was little I called them sand crawlies
I enjoy pan searing the entire flea as the shell becomes brittle and provides a good amount of silica when eaten
this dude sounds like ice poseidon dudeee cx
Lonk are you 10?
Omg he does
ikr
It's "dood" hehehe
Lonk I was about to say xd
Who else was uncomfortable when they were in the bucket and moving ☹️🤮🤢
Lots of people eat fried shrimp, battered with the tail on, I wonder if you deep fried those bad boys if it would be better
J Slik some other youtubers have deep fried them and said they taste like a crab crossed with a shrimp. Might try these
This is the type of food you eat when your trying to survive on an island or an apocalypse food lmao 😂
When that guy uses the restroom the scream will be heard miles away
how tf did i get here
I know this feeling, too. But it was worth it.
VintageJZL ikr
same tho lmao. I stared off watching a video about a lifted miata, one thing led to the next and well,here I am
You gotta fry them...think popcorn shrimp only with sand fleas...try it, you’ll thank me.
I would have pulled off the legs. The legs would be primarily shell, right?
Yea I’d bet that the legs are almost all shell lol. Considering how crabs and lobsters are
imagine trying to peel the legs
Your killin me Smalls! Hilarious video, guys are so funny....
the fishing of sand fleas looked so satisfying to me
Sand fleas are actually small Crustacia related to the stone crab and hermit crab. They are fantastic in seafood soups and Ramen and you do not need any form of license to poach them. Probably one of the greatest sources of free food around.
Charles Bronson
What? I caught crab before from the ocean and ate it, not alive of course but deliciously grilled... although it broke my heart because I was lonely and wanted a pet and my mom didn’t agree on a pet crab.
Hey buddy Sea-Money What kind of fish you can catch on that beach using the send fleas?
The passion of fishing La passion por la pesca rockfish
Andy Tong Thanks buddy for letting me know
I've caught catfish on them in the gulf of mexico Ana Maria Island FLA. I'm not sure what type of cat it is but it was gray and a good size
they repopular bait for tog, sheepshead, pompano, striper, kingfish etc
I'm not from USA but where I am if you use local bait especially if it's live then chances are you'll have a chance at majority of the local fish in that area. Obviously depends what's in that area and what's specifically swimming near your bait that day etc. And obviously there's those few fish who seem to be picky and will only take certain baits. Like here in australia squid as bait doesn't work as well as the other store bought baits Idk why but they just don't seem to like it, I always just use live prawns.
Go to home Depot get a large piece of mesh netting and make a frame you'll catch 100s of em every time
use the sand fleas for bait. Whiting love them. A tip for storing them, blance it hot water, the ice bath, then freeze, they freeze well.
Yuk! I'm a former Marine, but fortunately I went to boot camp in San Diego. I've heard many stories about sand fleas at Paris Island; this is what they're talking about? Good gawd they are little monsters!!! Damn...
7:11 I died laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Put those on a hook and youll catch something to eat. In hawaii we call em sand turtles, easy bait if u run out of squid or tako.
HNK 808 did you watch the start of the video that’s what they used them for but the fishing didn’t bite
HNK 808 tako and squid are the same ,one is japanese
Actually, tako is octopus.
Rip Mr. Crabs 🦀
Daniel Noun Mr. Crab is a crab what grade are you in
It's spelt Krabs in the episodes 😂
Rivzzie anddddd ahahahaha
NOW DO YOU FEEL IT MR CRABS?
Electric Biscuit lmao
Since they were eating them for breakfast , when he put the sauce on it , I thought he poured coffee on it 😂
I don't know. The idea of digging up Razor Clams (with tools!) and Geoducks are salivating - but these little things - I'd personally leave alone. Good to know you can eat them, but only in "Robinson Caruso" type situations...
Asians can eat what ever is in the sea 😂, I love Asians .
Probably better to use them for stock
My stepfather made soup with them. I found the soup delicious.
Next time you make macaroni or spaghetti, make sure to count out every single noodle, its very important for the viewer as well as the vid. Try it with rice and beans too. 1 sandflea 2, 3, 4 , 10 seconds go by, that's 9 sandfleas. Very important to count each and every flea in your sand. Very important for the viewer.
Dude I spent 4 hours catching, 2 hours cleaning, and about an hour cooking for two forkfulls of the dankest meat ever. I'm talking crayfish/crawdads from minnesota. Lol
Practically eating roaches 😂 mole crab or sand flea they look like roaches 🤢
A Passer agreed. Crustations are the cockroaches of the sea. Barf.
Ok I catch them all the time I didn’t know you could eat them 🤢
This is what rich people do when they’re board.
*bored, you uneducated peasant
DamnMyMeatSmall Or maybe when they are plate?
EastCoCo At least the peasant didn’t use “their” or “there”. Lol 😂
B o a r d
Taylor Myatt lmao
I used to catch these things all the time in Florida when I was a kid. Never thought about eating them. Maybe next time.
Those bubbles coming out the ground were these demon roaches???
HELLL NAH
I rather eat cat food
7:20 the asian likes it...
Uranos 96 his name is Tan. Not "the asian"
Hes an asian and youre an idiot
Uranos 96 call him by his name bitch
If you go in a zoo, do you call the animals there by there names there?
Uranos 96 you have a pet dog, and his name is Arnold. Do you call your dog "Arnold" or DOG
I just threw up
Soy boi
Coward
Did you look in a mirror?
It's scary knowing that every time I go to the beach, there's thousands of disgusting critters under my feet
Drinking game, take a shot every time he says fleas
This October is really rough. Worst I can remember in a long time. At least in Monmouth and ocean county
yea it is... in years past Id be catching nice stripers this time of year... not eating sand fleas.
Sea-Money Fishing exactly. Haha
