Amen brother. Glad my videos can keep you connected.

You moved from a wonderful place like Loisianna to California?

@@pwrplnt1975 Moved to Ca. in '93 for job opportunity and got stuck here since. Still loving La., though.

I lived in Franklin the next town over! Best seafood ever

tdeaux Thank you for your service! Regardless of is our hire much respect and appreciation that the public or American people in general have shown you and your brothers please know that I asking with many, many other Americans appreciate your sacrifices of serving, especially given the situations there and back here during those times. I also feel that this Country can never do enough to repay you for your sacrifices during your "time in"! America needs to take care of their Vets, as well as the families of those who have the ultimate sacrifice. Again, fun one grateful American, thank you for your service!

Amen to that.

Thanks brother God Bless

I was in that area for a few months working. They steamed the crabs with apple cider vinegar

@@thechunkycajun That's new one on me. Normally water, little vinegar and Old Bay or J.O. ACV might be better.

@@jeffreypinder9398 it was definitely a different flavor

@@thechunkycajun Will def remember that. Thanks

I appreciate you my bro. Catch and Cook at the food truck one day!

Cool

Amen to that. I need to check some Caribbean videos out.

@@OutsidetheLevees 👍😊

These are Spanish creoles of Louisiana known locally as isleños.

Love you bro. Thank you as always

That's awesome man. Thanks for sharing

Uncle Wimp is the man. Thanks so much for watching

Interesting. We are French too but I didn't dive into that since Spanish was the primary language.

This is intriguing, do you know if your family was German? My French family is from the other side of the lake and growing up we always heard there was a German settlement at Ruddock?

He's an amazing person. Thank you so much for watching

Glad you enjoyed

Yes there were 4 Canary Island settlements in Louisiana and that was one of them. thank you brother.

@@OutsidetheLeveesThere are also the malagueños who settled the New Iberia area. I’m not sure if you know who the malagueños are, but they are the descendants of 18th century Spaniards from southern Spain in the Málaga area of Andalucía similar to how isleños are descendants of 18th century Spaniards in Louisiana from the Canary Islands. Also, the OP is talking about a group of people in north Louisiana around the Zwolle and Natchitoches areas called the adaeseños who descend from 18th century Spaniards in Louisiana. So the isleños, malagueños and adaeseños together make up the Spanish Creoles of Louisiana. A distinction to make however is that both isleños and malagueños are white people while adaeseños are a white and Native American mixed race people called mestizos.

Amen/ will do

That's awesome

Thank you my friend

Thank you

Thank you so much for watching

My Great Grandmother was a Perez.

@@OutsidetheLevees what a coincidence maybe we’re cousins 👀😂

That's beautiful man.

Coming soon lol!

Lol. Glad you picked up on that

Amen. Thank you

Thank you! I work hard on it

Thanks Sis. God bless.

That’s awesome. Look up Los Isleños

The surname Martin in Louisiana has two avenues of ancestry: one is Acadian and one is isleño. The Acadian one is more common, however the isleño one is still a common presence. The Acadian Martin is originally Martin and as you pointed out, the isleño Martin was originally Martinez. I’ve even heard some people in Gretna, La. on the Westbank of Jefferson Parish that retained the surname Martinez (there was an isleño settlement in Barataria at one time) but they pronounce Martinez as MARTIN-ez with the syllable stress on Martin rather than the TIN (teen) part of Martinez. Strange but true.

Thank you!

Love having you here my girl.

Appreciate you

Appreciate you brother. God bless.

Hell yeah. I love Texas

Lot of similarities

Let me know what you find out

Segura is a malagueño surname. The malagueños were a group of 18th century Spaniards that arrived in Louisiana from the Málaga area of Andalucía in southern Spain. So you’re part malagueño. Malagueños are Spanish creoles like isleños are. Malagueño is pronounced like Mah-lah-gwain-yo. So many “Cajun” identified people these days are finding out they are not exactly Acadians (Cajuns). But we could see evidence of this with all the French, Spanish, German, British, Irish and Italian surnames mixed along with those Acadian surnames.

Thank you! God bless

Did you see the documentary on here Mosquitoes and High Water?

@@OutsidetheLevees I will have to look for it.

Maybe. We are talking about ideas for sure

@@OutsidetheLevees yessir

Thanks brah

I definitely will

I bet steamed is good too. Hard to mess up a crab

Appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to watch

It is more French than Spanish Louisiana, but the Spanish still do exist just in smaller numbers. Besides, there are so many French or Cajun identified people that have Spanish admixture so it’s really hard for outsiders to know this.

I hear ya man. God bless. Thanks for watching

Thank you so much

Appreciate you Robert. Take care.

Yep. One of the only lasting impressions the Spanish made here

I was trying to figure that out too

@@michaelmoore8183 I normally just bring my water to a rolling boil and then add crabs for 7 mins, let soak for 40 mins

Since I was curious… I did it their way yesterday for Easter, added crabs while water was still cool, then brought up to boil, started timer at rolling boil. Worked out okay. Didn’t notice much of a difference other than spice. I may try adding it when I’m pre soaking crabs in salt water too

UPDATE: 100% soak your crabs in the room temperature crab boil water before hand. I’ve since started doing this and it’s awesome because they breath in the spice and it seasons the meat better. 👍👍 had to update it.

@@OneOut1You’re in the wrong video for that
