Grew up eating blue crabs from the Chesapeake, and they're delicious, but Dungness is the best I've found so far.

That was fun to watch. 😊 For shallow frying, I think that dumpling shape is less than optimal. Although not as pretty, a simple rectangular pillow dumpling (kind of like ravioli) might have been better.
@kayla_sulak5 ай бұрын
These actually turned out perfectly fried (in my opinion anyway) despite the shallow frying, but you could certainly do any shape

It's recommended to cook them cleaned to avoid any potential domoic acid issues.
@kayla_sulak7 ай бұрын
Thanks for mentioning that. I know the recreational crabbing gets shut down by Fish&Wildlife when the domoic acid levels spike, but playing it safe is obviously never a bad idea with something like that.
@MisfitsFiendClub1387 ай бұрын
Not true at all. Always cleaned my crabs before cooking and still got domoic acid poisoning

@@MisfitsFiendClub138 wow. I've never dealt with that, and hadn't yet encountered anyone else who has. Were you eating a lot of crab regularly? Maybe I've just been lucky, although I only get to eat crab maybe twice a year.

Steam them in Beer about two inches you will like it more tender

Yum, I've done that with giant prawns, but I can't remember if I've steamed Dungeness that way before. Thanks for the input!

Great video, Kayla! I've enjoyed your posts on some of the local FB groups, and I'll keep an eye out here for more videos. Thanks for sharing your experience. I would have liked to hear what you did with the crab in the time between the catch and steaming. How you transported it, whether you cooked it live or not, etc. Just a small note!
@kayla_sulak7 ай бұрын
Thanks! I've been able to keep them lively for half a day, by keeping them in a bucket of the same water where I caught them from, but they really need cool, aerated water, so you do want to get to cooking them asap of course. Or, keep refreshing their water every hour or so, if you're hanging out and crabbing all day

What's the thought process of pulling the pots up so often to check them? Would leaving the pot for at least one tide change help? I can tell you here in SE Alaska, I leave my pots heavily baited for several days - targeting "Dungys"!
@kayla_sulak5 ай бұрын
Are you crabbing from a boat by chance? In my experience with crabbing from the piers in the shallow bays here, your bait gets eaten by hermit crabs, shore crabs, non-keeper Dungeness crabs, etc within a couple hours, so it's better to pull the traps often and add bait. On a good day, you might pull the traps every 30-40 minutes and have 15+ dungeness in there every time... on a slow day, it doesn't matter whether you pull the traps every 30 minutes or every 6 hours, you probably won't have many/any keeper crabs but your bait will still be gone after a while. I see a lot of people using castable crab rings/traps on a fishing pole instead, probably for that reason

What do you do with your used oil? Didn't know if you had a cool tip for storing it or filtering it something
@kayla_sulak7 ай бұрын
Good question! Well, it depends a lot on what I was frying and for how long. If the frying oil is still pretty 'clean' after a really quick deep fry like these rangoons, I'll pour the cooled oil back into a plastic water bottle (or the empty oil bottle, etc) and save it for the next fry. But if I was more directly frying meat/fish in the oil (like crab cakes, breaded meat cutlets, battered fish, etc), or if the oil has a ton of food bits in it, I just pour it into a bottle to throw away... Or, pour it into the campfire and try not to get burnt when the flames suddenly go a few feet higher, lolol

Why wouldn't you go after those green crabs?
@kayla_sulak5 ай бұрын
I've caught them before in the warmer months. It was worth trying them once, but they're only a few inches big-- it's kinda like harvesting meat from a crawdad (not much meat for the effort), and the meat doesn't taste as good. I'm not sure if you can specifically "target" them with bait either(?), unless you already know of a spot where they're prolific

If you keep doing what you did in this video catch then clean them but most importantly make sure you show how you cook them up some good recipes and make sure you do a eating part you keep doing this and your videos will be watched by M------s did I put enough
@kayla_sulak7 ай бұрын
Thanks for checking out the video! I did indeed show how I cooked them here, and then made a recipe with the crab meat at the end. It was fun! Hoping to make some more catch/clean/cook videos like this in the future! Cheers!
