The coolest thing about your channel is that you don't act like you know everything. It is fun to learn along with you as you try different things and learn by trial and error.

"Yeah everybody asks about my ethnicity" "Oh yeah? What is it?" ***CUTS VIDEO*** HAHAH

I love that cut where he asks what your ethnicity is

Little trick the next time you cook live crab - Whether you steam or boil them, when getting the water up to temp, add about 2-3 Tablespoons of white distilled vinegar for every quart of water. The vinegar makes the meat a lot easier to pull out of the shell and makes it taste a little bit sweeter. :)

A little bit of butter. THE WHOLE STICK? Yeah, like the usual.

I like all crabs, all the edible ones!

What's your ethnicity? HALF Butter and Half Fish haha

Man, I retire in 10 years... I hope I get to have your life when I'm finally free. You're living my dream.. Good job!

Crab butter isn't eggs. I don't know why everyone thinks it's crab roe/eggs. It's the equivalent of a pancreas and liver. That's why it's so full of cholesterol. Plus, you're eating a male crab, how could it be eggs? I still would eat it unless the domoic acid levels are too high. I cook the crab butter in crushed garlic and butter until cooked through and runny. The stir in scrambled eggs. Then it doesn't taste so bad to the uninitiated. You could do the same with Uni.

10:45 - 10:50 HAHAHAHAHAHAHahhaha my favorite part of the video!!

I’ve been eating that yellow stuff in the body of the dungeness crab since I was a kid. My grandma showed me to mix it with white rice and get the juice from in there too.

Try stuffing the Dungeness shell with steamed rice to absorb all that goodness. I love that stuff

10:50 the reaction when they eat the crab meat. Simply amazing.

2:57 "everyone asks me what's my ethnicity" "Actually I don't know" 😂

I've never had whole crab until I moved to Colorado. My boyfriend told me to eat the stuff inside the head and I've loved it ever since. So good!

You should have a contest where one of your subscribers can join you! My son and I would love to enjoy a day with you! We are locals in NorCal. Awesome video!

“What’s your ethnicity?” Top 10 anime mysteries

Some advice, if you want it; they are attracted the the smell, the blood, etc. Chicken feet are basically worthless. The crab will need to wander into the pot accidentally to even notice them. You need meat that loses lots of blood. Red meat is obviously the best option but it is also expensive enough to make it cheaper just to eat the meat and not use it as bait lol. Chicken is the most used option because of the blood content and the price. If you really want good crab bait, go buy one of those giant bags of Costco or Sam's Club chicken. They add extra blood to the bag for weight so the meat is in prime condition right out of the bag lol. I'm east coast. Chesapeake Bay. Blue crab. Trust me, man. The more bloody and disgusting the meat, the better. Dude. Go to a grocery store and ask to buy their pork shoulders and butts that are expiring. Old chicken and thigh quarters or necks and gizzards. You'll need a bigger boat to haul in all the crabs.

Which taste better ? Dungeness crabs or rock crabs? The answer is always butter

My mom used to say "thank God everyone is different, can you imagine a world with everything and everyone the same . It's the same with food . Some eat the crab tamale ,some don't . Some eat the skin on apricots peaches , some don't . My best friend used to spread his butter on bread , while I used to put big chunks on my bread . I'm gluten free now , but I used to eat the San Francisco Bodin sourdough bread with Dungeness crabs and the crab tamale and butter . You call it crab butter but it's the same . Thanks for doing this great video guys, ya mon ❤💛💚👍

Litteraly waited all day for it to be 7:30 pm 😂

As a Vietnamese person, my favorite part of the crab has to be the head butter. I would always have to fight or share the crab shell guts with siblings or cousins!

Love the crab butter but I dip bread in my crab butter... and so happy you two did a video together hope more to come...

crab tomalley (the yellow gut stuff) is an acquired taste. I used to hate it because it was so bitter, but now i LOVE it. I can't eat too much though because it's too rich. But it's often used to make a paste/sauce for stir-fry.

Thank you for uploading u are giving me strength for my 3 finals tommorow

From a crab "addict" here since I was 10 years old (I'm now into my forties) so you do the math. Neways, here's my take. Rock Crab - more juicy and tasty meat, but thicker and harder shell, therefore harder to get into. They also tend not to grow any bigger than the dungeness crab. Dungeness crab - thinner and softer shell, tends to get a lot bigger than a rock crab, thus meat is easier to get into. But it is less tasty and juicy than rock crab meat.

Everything about your videos are sublime. The atmosphere, the vibe, the quality, the catch, the gear. Your videos make me want to get out there and catch something.

Depending on the season and what the crabs has been eatting that "crab butter", I believe is the liver, like in lobster, there is the green stuff in the head. "Head butter" which can be sweet and almost taste like uni. The red stuff would be the unlaid crab roes. So you won't find them in the males.

Red rocks all day man. Up here in washington we got red rocks bigger than dunggies. The meat taste alot sweeter and oh man those claws! With a little bit of butter man oh man those red rocks are killer

Matt's, Vietnamese use the guts to make a sauce to stir fry the crabs with or my mom makes a killer fried rice with it. Saute with a little salt, dash of flour or starch to thicken....delicious! Eating it straight up like you did, some can be bitter. But all in all, done right, it should not be fishy and have a very rich taste.....like your favorite.....seafood BUTTER! 👍

last night i told myself i was gonna go to bed early but i stumbled accross one of your videos again and i ended up spending 8hrs watching your videos, i forget how fun this is to watch, this is the best fishing channel by far. catch and cooks are awesome and nothing is fake or overplayed for the camera. all legit fun fishing and good eatin! thanks and keep up the great vids!

Rock crabs don't have a lot of meat in the legs, it's hard to get out of the body too. Claws are good and meaty. I used to pick out every piece of meat from the rock crab and serve it in the shell like its own bowl and eat it all at once. Very rich and nutritious

10:46 😂 the transition is perfect

Loving the crab cam

How about having a finer mesh at the bottom of the trap so the crabs don't slip out when you pull it up. That camera in the trap was dope. Butter😋

I grew up eating everything organs included so I find it quite good and delicious...great video by the way...

The Red Rock is my favorite, but they have to be BIG to be worth the effort to get them out of their shells. Way tougher than Dungeness.

That brown crab has BIG. MEATY. CLAWS!

The cute guy is just focusing on the crab 😂😂😂. I kinda love his accent it's so adorable/cute

I love matts face at 12:34 asking if the yellow butter isnt bad. He kind of wanted the other guy eating to say it was bad too lmao

I love your videos dude. And the people you bring with you are always entertaining in some way lol. You have inspired me to go fishing again after years.

"The whole stick?"... umm are you new here? 😂😂

And bro. Butter is seriously your trademark/slapstick humor portion of your incredibly informative videos. We all get that your serious about what you do. But Please continue using way too much butter. Haters Hate becauce it's too dank!!!! Much love from so cal here, keep it up man

The sides of the inside of the shell is it's new shell when it molts. Basically softshell crab bite! The best !

Yay crabs & butter 🤤 .

3:43 Crab: What the!?! Oh HELL NO! I'm outta here!!!

grew up next to the ocean been eating crab and lobster my whole life. can honestly say i have never 1 time used butter or garlic butter,i really just apricate the crab flavor itself.

I'm finally getting back to some fishing A pilot here (I fly a vintage torpedo bomber (N337VT), well...that was before a big mishap this year). Getting back out to ice fishing during the holiday break here next week. WISH I WAS THERE INSTAED! Anyway, at the holiday here, I just wanted to let you know that these are all fantastic. I watch each and every new release as soon as your notification comes out. Learning ALOT. Never disappoints. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Happy holidays, everyone! Let's go catch some fish in 2019!

Love your videos matt I have been watching since your channels name I think was matt withins

I am watching this in Scotland,Boxing day,your video reminded me that my wife bought,Orkney Crab Claws with Devilled Mayo,packet says :Crabs caught using traditional pots. Capped Orkney crab-claws with a pot of devilled mayonnaise. I will eat them for lunch & thank you for the reminder,they could have been forgot-ting about.

The fact that you’ve put cameras in the crab cage, is a *_GREAT_* way to gather data!

I personally prefer the red/rock crab. I like the sharper, sweeter flavor. The times I've tried them side by side, the Dungeness was kind of bland, comparatively

I think rock crabs taste better but way less meat.

Coming from the blue crab capitol of the world, boiling crab definitely degrades the flavor. Steaming is the way to go! The butter is the bomb. Great video as always.

You should add vinegar to the water when you steam crab or lobster. It pulls the meat away from the shell and makes it easier to get out.

2:57 "Everybody asks What's my ethnicity?" Yeah, what is it? Answers: Actually, I don't know.

Everybody asks me "what is my ethicnity" *yeah what is it?* "actually I don't know, it's been about 10 minutes"

3:50 my man escaped just in time

Yess!!!! More videos with Fishing Chef please! You, Fishing Chef and Outdoor Chef Life. Best Bay Area channels!!!

The jose zuniga of fisherman channels

Great Duo... Its like watching the "Catch n Cook" version of Lebron James and Dwyane Wade ... lol. Rock Crabs are under rated

Yes eat the orange part as well, it’s the sweetest part with a little bread and butter

You have the coolest friends, my man. Love your channel and I think I’ve subbed to everyone you collab with. Keep it coming!

So that’s the person who voice dubbed for Po’s dad in Kungfu Panda.

Do you do guided trips? I live very close to SF and would love to go on the water and catch some fish.

I like how you showed video footage of the crab cage when it was in the water.

Just two homies fishing. So therapeutic to watch

I told you , if your not keeping big rock crabs you are missing out.....

Delicious Cooked Crabs

Muscles contains glucose. Those crabs produce glucose over and over as part of the molting process. So their flesh just grows new succulent flesh.

Glad to see you collaborate with Fishing Chef - he’s got some of my favorite commentary out of all the half moon bayers. Nice catch

Dungeness tastes better hands down! Rock crab is good, but it's quite salty.

Dungeness for sure. Without a doubt. 7 months late, but absolutely certain.

I think we'd all love to fish with Fisherman's Life

Never eaten crab with butter. Here in West Australia we get the blue swimmer crabs and its - cook , peel and sprinkle the meat with a little pepper and splash some brown malt vinegar over the meat. Then grab some fresh bread and make a crab sarni (Sandwich). Man I now need to go crabbing. !

Waiting on that collab with Taku from Outdoor Chef Life!

So what is your ethnicity

We just left Newport and the crab license regulation says Do Not cook crabs whole, they may be poisonous So we hope you are all right. This was our worst crabbing in the last 8 years,, 16 days only A hundred keepers.. you guys are doing. Great thanks

Craving crab, craving cab crabs, take dabs, open maps, re-up on crab meat, don't beat my meat, crab heat,oh neat

Says put alit bit of butter but really put the whole butterstick.

Filipino Mexican for sure!!

Half a million subs Matts, you deserve it bro. Really digging the B.B 2.0, its the perfect size for what you do, and its not a headache and doesn't cost a fortune to get out there. Tight lines my man.

I have been watching you for about a week now and I don’t really like to go fishing. However for some reason when I watch your vids I get inspired not to fish but to learn new things thank you.

Im sorry theres no Crab like Dungie Crabs, Second Best is Real Alaskan Snow Crab!!

Confirmed! hes not filipino, he didnt sip sip the crab eggs. haha

I like the new boat! Been waiting for another vid! God job gents!

im diggin the underwater footage. extremely interesting to watch how crabs and other fish interact underwater.

crab butter is unbelivable good but why western people seem dont like it btw i am southeast asian malay,

Wait, so what's your ethnicity?

here in the philippines the crab butter is actually a delicacy, and most of the time we dip that (along with the meat) in soy sauce with calamansi. It tastes bad when I was a child and when I started putting diff shit in my mouth I started to appreciate the rich flavor of the crab butter. Hope to see you like that in the future :)

You and Ace videos should get together and collab some catch and cook videos. He asked for it!! It would be nice

Hey Fishermans life Im unsubscribing from you REASON WHY no hate please read I been a long time follower subscriber and supporter I been commenting on your channel since it started but never got any response I enjoy your content but there are some really awesome questions I asked you I just wanted know But I know your Busy I got Inspired by you I wanted to be just like you still do But please dont worry I will still support by buying merch. PLEASE Keep doing this awesome work maybe one day you will read this I dont have long im sick THANKS SO MUCH for the adventure

That undoor water view was amazing

This video was amazing, love crabbing and love fishing chef! Please do more videos with him!

When it comes to food I would try anything once. Lol 😂

The best way to cook crab butter is to use it to make fried rice. You can add an egg and picked crab meat for extra flavor.

I love your videos I live in Oregon and I prefer the red rocks over the dungies they are sweeter meat and overall bigger front claws with more meat but either way they are both very very good eating !!

For me I love the inside of the red and dungeon... You just got to grow up witht the taste or get use to it and I grow up eatting it

I wish i had a friend like you to go fishing with
