I live in NJ, my husband and I would go crabbing every Sunday for many years, but we had boat and would go out into the creeks where we knew where the crabs were in abundance. We would usually come back with a bushel, all males because we wanted the females to reproduce. It was my job to clean the crabs as my husband cleaned the boat and engine so no salt water would sit in it. Anyway, I always cleaned the crabs before cooking them because I don't like any type of guts when I cooked them, and I feel that the seasoning got into the meat more effectively. One of the ways I liked to make as a dish was to take some light olive oil, butter, roasted chopped garlic cayenne pepper, smoked paparika, parsley, salt and pepper, I would sautee the crabs until cooked, then at the end I would add some oregano and a little more butter and stir it around until blended. Also, I would crack the claws before cooking so the flavor would get into the meat. Of course I would do the traditional way of steaming with Old Bay seasoning and some melted butter to dip the meat into, and make some crab tomato sauce to go with pasta. One time we caught the grand daddy of all crabs, it measured 10 inches from point to point and the claws 18 inches wide when spread out, I have pictures, I wish I could post them on here. I almost wanted to throw it back because it managed to survive as long as it did as I felt bad keeping it. My husband is passed now so this video has brought back alot of memories of those fun crabbing days, thanks for this video. 🙂🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

love that you try to help your community by showing local businesses

Takes me back to the 50’s & 60’s growing up on the coast of NC. My mom, brother, and I used to walk down to the ICW and catch crabs. I miss those days but I enjoy watching you enjoy the natural resources around you. Jerad, you do a awesome job with your videos.

Awesome ideal sharing the public areas and promoting the parish I am going to enjoy this series 👍

Jared , WOW...... another home run It"s so nice for you to share all that information for people that don't know where to crab and the fine eateries like Charlie's. And now you have my mouth watering. Again, so nice of you , THANKS

Man that was a good day crabbing. St Bernard is slowly becoming my favorite fishery.

I love watching you catch and cook seafood i have learned a lot about Louisiana seasoning crawfish and crab and how long to cook it great channel love seeing your family

I was at the hook and line this summer, great prices, friendly knowledgeable service, had everything I needed for a good crabbing day. I walked outside heard a loud rumble, sky got dark, then lit up, thought it was a storm darn it day ruined but to my surprise it wasnt that at all when I looked to the south toward the bay it was the Chalmette Refinery Flaring, WTF is that all about. I hope all that crap didnt pollute the waterways and all the crabs I caught.

What a great fishing spot. Shady, right on the water, lots of room. Crab dish looks amazing! Thanks for all the great tips

I'm coming to get that dish!!! It's a 2 hour drive but I'm coming!!

Great video. I pass by that store everytime I come down to visit my in-laws. I was always curious but never stopped. l'll definitely stop next time. Look to have a great selection.

I luv crabbing with the old ring nets. Great video guys!!

I left New Orleans 30 years ago. Chalmette brought some great fishing and good eats at Rocky & Carlos. Thanks for the memories!

Just like I do in Chesapeake Bay. Man that soft crab dish looked delicious. When Im down that way I'll definitely visit Charlie's restaurant.

I think I'm gonna book a trip Outta Hawaii just for that plate. that looked amazing

Ya boy got crabs. 👍💯

I just "Google Mapped" it. It's over 400miles from me! Looks like it's worth the trip, but I'm gonna have to plan it out. Til then, keep posting those vids

Just finding your channel...yeah man..I like it and subbed.. Looking forward to it my brother 👍

Was there today and caught 2 massive black drums on crab plus 30or so nice crabs . God Bless Louisiana

Love this! With a good book, cooler, and music would make for a great day!

O.M.G. !!!!! Great video bro👍. The information that you provide is PRICELESS! I have a birthday coming up... was going to Ohio " Lake Erie" to do some Walleye Fishing, but I'm really considering changing my plans and coming down there in your neck of the woods, will let you kno if I decide to come 🤔, YOU ROCK BRO! Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS. YO BOI JOE FROM CHICAGO 💯💯

We used to camp at Cape Hatteress Campground every summer and we’d take a net and a bushel basket and we’d fill that basket up with blue crabs in 30 mins. Blue crabs and old bay. Nothing like Carolina in the summer.

I love blue crab fishing..my favorite pass time..I can spend all day out there..I find they love turkey meat...lol..the funny thing is I can't eat seafood..I do it for the fun...I always release them..kinda defeats the purpose but it brings me joy..one day I caught a puffer fish..that was fun..they also love deer meat..great video

Love the history

I would go meet my Uncles and Cousins at Cypermore Point off the Vermillion Bay -they were shrimpers and all the family boats would make the trip from Terrebonne Parish to i think its Vermillion parish-I would help them retail their shrimp-they knew when i was coming and would save all the soft shell crabs they caught inn the ice hole-man those were like gold to me-I would make soft shell crab po-boys and eat till i keeled over😂

Some of the best fishing in LA Jared... catch anything... Delacroix is paradise!!!

I grow up riding my 🚲 to hook and line to get perch hook and cork. I have alot of good memories growing up at kid there.

Nice!

Can you show us any good bank fishing spot in Delacroix in St. Bernard Parish or in Louisiana all together please?

Former Owl here i fished night rigs out of bayou Bienvenu, on the Irene Marie. 32' Lafitte Skiff. The Newtons boat. We built a fiberglass replica of the Irene Marie. Christened Irene Marie II. Which launched the Newtons global boat building buis. I wonder if Alicia Marie II is Newtons. Sure miss night rigging. But at the time, we were constantly dodging container ships in the intercoastal canal. When that transom light lines straight up with the bow light, it was pucker time. Les et bon temps roulez' ~rad~

Man thank you so much for this video I live in chalmette and didn't know that pier was there my wife and I will give a try also that dish at Charlie's FYI B&G Market in chalmette on West Judge Perez always has turkey necks they have a full meat market when my wife and go to Charlie's we'll mention your name thanks for a wonderful video very entertaining.

💯🙌🏾

That Chalemtte store is a treasure.

have you tried cheap hot dogs or cheap sausages? that's how we almost got our limit in Oregon. crab or bottom feeders but I figure even they'd like a change of meal once in awhile. The food looks delicious. 🤤

Nothing works better than trout heads

Id pop the top on one of those crabs quarter it up and cast out a line. Big drum bonus is always good

Manger de Charlies .Coo Yah c'est ca bon !

sarap niyan boss

If you wanna go crabbin,' you've got to know how to pick 'em up. Handle them right, and you won't get pinched.

Wish I owned a tv for this one

I'm from st Bernard born and raised there and we use crab traps to catch blue crab

soft shell crabs are awesome

I'll pass on the Nutria tacos!

Cow lips from the butcher shop! And they will last all day!

New subscriber I live in Philadelphia

Maryland best sweet crabs wold ...

Killer blue claw bait is menhaden, also known as moss bunker and pogy 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀👌

Man you make me realize how awesome my home state is!

Awesome video bros. We live almost 2 hrs from the pier what's the best way to keep our crabs fresh and alive until we get home?

What's going on , Jared? 😪As you can see, i'm sad, and you know why. On the bright side is it's always next year.

if your wife or mother gardens you can also toss the fish scraps in as fertilizer

So hard to find stores that carry well-made crab nets like that. Everywhere I go it’s always the cotton netting garbage that get cut by oysters within 10 minutes.

🤤🍽️🍻😊

What do you mean you don’t grab crabs? Grab them from by there back legs or side of there shell and they can’t pinch ya lol. But yeah getting pinched sucks bad lol especially by a big blue claw. I’m also from Jersey been catching crabs since I was a young buck. Now I’m doing it with my kids. Came over from DMFD.

Yeah, no one has ever seen a boat lift...lol!

Do you think the crabs running at this spot right now? Might take the ride out there from St.Charles parish thus Saturday . Didn’t have much luck at Point aux chene last weekend.

I like using trout head or hole sardines

The apron on the male blue crabs, that’s the chalmette monument, the apron on the female crabs, that’s the superdome.

Is good fishing on the pier to? Im from new orleans, and never caught a fish, or any good crabs in my life. I think I will take a trip down to the pier.

many crabs

Mon frère the river is a distributary or TRIBUTARY of another river?

I heard recently that there is a new law that there is a requirement for a $5.00 license for crabbing by all non-commercial crabbers that fish from the shore or places like shown in this video.

Leave the chicken out in the sun for a bit it needs to be stinky 😁

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🦀🎣🇧🇷

Are the crabs running yet at del a Croix this year?

How much did the nets cost

So that's fresh water, not the ocean? Thanks.

What time of year is the best time to go there?

Where can I buy the crab net that you use in the video? I live in Sulphur Louisiana. What brand make is it?

Only time its good to say you have crabs.

How much for the nets

What is the best time to crabbing

Where did you get the crab net? Thanks!

Hey Jared, did you or are you trying to get in touch with me about winning a give away.... I someone reached out to me from your channel, please let me kno bro. Yo Boi Joe from Chicago 8
