Troj and Rebecca: I would really enjoy the occasional session on how you prepare/clean and cook some of the species you catch. Spider crab compared to brown crab. How you cook mackerel, sea bass and pollock. I remember an old episode when you, Troj, cooked mackerel on the boat minutes after catching. Fresh mackerel is the best (and strangely underrated fish) when fresh, and you can't get fresher than that. Maybe for days when the weather refuses to co-operate and you have some fresh fish or crabs?

We have done a few in the past although last year we never got the chance to cook from the boat. I am still working on a few. Species videos which shows some ways to cook them but they wont be out for some time. Most people I know prefer to eat Spider crab it has a sweeter taste but its best now for a couple of months. After that I would not bother with it as the meat will get mushy and wet after breeding and shell changing.

Was wondering how old do you think? ... Also do you freeze spider crabmeat after cooking If there's any left after a meal ? Anyway was a wonderful dingy day !!!

We carry lifejackets but don't use them. We wear flotation jackets far better for us. There is very little boat traffic and very strong tides further out. A lifejacket wont help you in cold water.

Would you eat or sell that whopping shanker? What would a crab like that be worth to you and what would a punter like me expect to have to pay for such a beast?

Both. Buying direct from the fisherman would always be cheaper. After a quick look they sell retail around £12 a kilo but can vary a lot. It depends on the area and crab size

@paulwalker9732 Ай бұрын
I would have let the giant go and kept the just over legal, there reason why there are so few giants, is because they get removed and eaten, so only the smaller males get to breed, losing the giant gene.
@Trojwaterman Ай бұрын
Its because all the small ones are taken that we see fewer big ones not the genes. They can grow a lot bigger than this. That's why we put the smaller legal ones back to give them a chance to grow.

The brown crab is a very powerful crab and could break bones they wont let go but are slow. The spider crab is faster but not as strong and I assume the mud crabs are very fast?

Rebecca is not my wife she comes out because she wants to She prefers to pull the crab pots but does not want to drive the boat because of the minefield of rocks out there. I'm the one with the experience out there that has to keep the boat safe and anyone on it. Rebecca does what she wants to do and we work as a team that's why we get on so well and have a great laugh every day.

I understand. At times I would also put back very old crab lobster & fish (we did last year with a couple of huge spider crabs). The thing is people see so many small crabs in the shops they think this crab is really big and it is for us in the shallow water. But out in the deeps they can grow much bigger but its far to deep for our small boat and strong tides to be able to fish for them.
