Thank you Mr. Backwoods for bringing back lots of childhood memories . I can't tell you how much time I've spent on the Chesapeake Bay with a chicken leg on a string, a net and 5 gallon bucket crabbing . :)

That is the way I grew up doing it also. Trid some hand lines that day, but little fish kept eating the bait. Thanks for watching.

That's the way I used to do it too (back chicken wings were cheap and you could get 10lbs of them at Winn Dixie for $2.50). I would tie a hand net onto the end of a broom handle and go to town:)

I've never made crab cakes with so many ingredients. I am going to try it though. Always open to trying new things especially when they involve blue crabs! We make pasta sauce with pre cleaned crab bodies . Basically just clean them, sautee in olive oil and garlic, add to sauce and slow cook for 4 hours plus. Cool down, refrigerate and heat up the next day. Use on pastas, pizza with crab etc. Possibilities are only limited by ones imagination.

@jerrycoon4504 6 жыл бұрын

Awesome! I like how you chilled them to make them easy to handle. They can be feisty little bastards. LOL! I went blue crabbing with a friend years ago and he was using a light and a net. Then you have to get the pissed off crabs out of the net and hopefully into the bucket. Drop one in the bottom of the boat, and you better watch out!! LOL!! Good job! Made me hungry... again!

The last time I cleaned a mess of blue crabs for the freezer I pulled the top shell off from the side with one hand while holding the legs with the other hand. By the time I was done I had some nasty cuts. Your way is much better. Lesson learned.

@wwsuwannee7993 6 жыл бұрын

If all you had was Old Bay and Florida Everglades seasoning, you would basically need nothing else for seafood spicing ( but don't limit yourself) just saying how good they are. That was a lot of pick from just 4 crabs...impressive. Those cakes are awesome too of course :). So the storm repairs went ok I take it. I didn't have any thankfully other than massive clean up.

I'm a pretty good crab picker, but it took me an hour to pick 4 crabs and 8 claws. Thanks for watching.

@madcrabber1113 6 жыл бұрын

My favorite Maryland crab seasoning is JO Crab seasoning. They have many varieties. I've not had Everglades seasonings but look forward to it as I have heard nothing but great things about it.

The seasoning bag has lots of different things like bay leaf, cayenne pepper, coriander seed, peppercorns and a bunch of others. Sold in the seafood section of groceries over here.

Camera was not waterproof. I have a gopro that is but is sucks at picking up audio. My camera is in pieces on my bar right now drying. Was in rice for 2 days. We will see. Did those onions in the Bass Pro Duck Lodge skillet. No number on that, but a great pan.

Got it, thanks. I always like seeing any cast iron in action. Lodge made that pan in a #5 and #8. It's part of the wildlife series. Bass, Deer, Dog and Mallard. All are very collectable and USEABLE.! I use everything I collect and it looks like you do as well. Keep turing out those videos...

Nope - lump steamed meat only. you had too many breadcrumbs. Just crab and some binder for a buttery meat and a slightly crisp exterior. No one ever says lets get some Carolina or Lousiana crab cakes - but you do hear Let's get some Maryland Crab cakes. That meat is all mashed together and looks like tuna now 😞 you had the freshest of crab and ruined it...

Sounds like you were here to taste the final product..... Please do a video of how to do this perfectly including catching your crabs and send me a link so I can learn how to do it right.
