- Always wanted to see what the difference is between Dungeness Crab and Rock Crab. We caught a few nice male Dungenesss crabs, some Brown, Yellow and Red Rock Crabs also. To prepare the food, we steamed the crab together and first tried the meat without any butter. The only flavor added was some saltwater, and then we finished off the crab with a bit of butter. I was pleasantly surprised by the results!

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.
Suck him up
Stellvia Heonheim yeah but a lot of people who make videos act like they know it all of course.
Especially fishing channels, there are so many ways to fish there’s an arguement to be made that their is no wrong way to fish.
@@erenkandogan5760 Deermeat oops
And he shows the reality of fishing. He doesn't just show the catches and brag about how he's absolutely slamming them. He shows the missed hookups, quick releases/came off the hook and days when he only catches a few little fish. Even stuff that most people would edit out like mistakes, motion sickness, nets getting hung up on everything in the boat (we all know this pain!) and other comedy gold that makes it feel real. Quality videos.

He likes tacos so perhaps a Hispanic background. I'm gonna take a wild guess Cambodian or other mixed with an asian background.
@@boun619 I'm all white and I like tacos.
He sounds like he's from the U.S.
I love that cut where he asks what your ethnicity is
Lmao

I was PISSED lol
I think he's half Philippine half Mexican
Wish he'd share
A little bit of butter.
THE WHOLE STICK?
Yeah, like the usual.

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. :)
Thanks vro
I like all crabs, all the edible ones!
Fishing Chef I was about to say I know of some crabs you won’t like
let me know which ones haha got me curious
same here, there all good
Nice you cought yourself u can eat the ones that latch on to your pubes too they're just super tiny
Thank you for the Crab and Ramen tip
10:45 - 10:50 HAHAHAHAHAHAHahhaha my favorite part of the video!!
Fishing Chef awesome video bro
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!
10:50 the reaction when they eat the crab meat. Simply amazing.
* 10:44
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.
i do the same thing, mix crab butter with chopped garlic and butter together, use it for dipping sauce.
Mix it with rice too
That’s what he said that he prefers the red colour which are the eggs
The one ran they opened was a male a that guy didn’t want to eat the insides
Its high in cholesterol so you mix it with eggs?!??? God bless you lol
Nice info. I still dunno if I could eat this pancreas and liver
What's your ethnicity? HALF Butter and Half Fish haha
Id guess 1/4 butter, 1/4 avocado, 1/4 rice and only 6/32 fish and 2/32 crab.
gotta be a trini or guyanese
I hated when he cut that transition lmao. I guess portuguese or something
@@goldfruitco6841 if hes trini that would be wild. im trini
Yeah, whatever his ethnicity is, it looks damn good on him! And who cares? I want to see him catching and cooking fish and seafood!
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.
Carlo Reyes as a kid I take out the parts that aren’t edible and use the shell as a bowl :)
Try stuffing the Dungeness shell with steamed rice to absorb all that goodness. I love that stuff
Oh man. Add some sesame oil in there with a little salt or soy sauce and I can easily eat 10 of those shells.
Yes finally a man of culture
the best way to finish off a crab meal
Litteraly waited all day for it to be 7:30 pm 😂
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!
10:46 😂 the transition is perfect
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!
Hell yeah I would Ike go crabbing with you and my dad
Gym Z Good idea man!
wayouttatune2 maybe 3.
you should make a patreon and for a top donation is a day out in the butter boat
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.
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.
This video was amazing, love crabbing and love fishing chef! Please do more videos with him!
Loving the crab cam
2:57 "everyone asks me what's my ethnicity"
"Actually I don't know" 😂
I just recently started getting back into fishing and watching your videos makes me just want to get back out on the water sooner and I feel like I've already learned a few new tricks and tips so thank you for your videos they're actually my favorite videos on CZcams as of right now
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
Good luck 🍟
Every video on CZcams has a comment like this. How the fuck does watching a fishing video give you strength for a final? Shouldn't studying for your final give you strength? Or maybe you are just "fishing" for likes eh?
@@jq7323 they joke
Which taste better ? Dungeness crabs or rock crabs? The answer is always butter
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!
@bruceownsu lmao not every piece of meat inside the head is the brain. *wink
You have the coolest friends, my man. Love your channel and I think I’ve subbed to everyone you collab with. Keep it coming!
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!
Yeah Branden, my grandma was always given the crab butter. Like everything that out of the ordinary , it helps if you grew up eating it.
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
I beg to differ, Dungeness all day long for me :D
Yeah Oregon to big dog red crabs
Yoy Tu is correct. Red rock all the way. Love the Dungie but Red Rock is better. I am on the Straits of Juan De Fuca here in NW Washinton and we eat a lot of both.
Where do you go in WA? I go up in Everett or near San Juan’s.
Thanks bro Your videos always make my day Fuller.
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!!
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.
I've been using fresh chicken drumsticks with Dungeness crabs for 3 years and it works GREAT. Rock crab like the more "disgusting" meat. I think he was crabbing shallow at Doran beach which in my opinion can get fished out very quickly in the season. Deeper water and multi-day soaks will lead to multiple limits of Dungeness simply by using chicken drumsticks.
austin4x Maryland folks know their blue crab :)
cheapest canned cat food you can buy, punch holes in top, drop it in trap.
anything works because crabs are bottom scavengers and the can smell their food from hundreds feet away ...best if rotten !
I like to chop up a few chicken livers and hide them in with the other bait- that puts a lot of blood in the water to get blue crabs' attention. I'm used to the FL panhandle and the Georgia coast, so it may be different in other areas.
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.
Loving these collaborations!!! Crabin feast!! Keep up the good work. Cant wait for the next video.
I hope y'all know how blessed you are, having these for catchin. Awesome
miss gulf coast
~rad~
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! 👍
YNOT?
Best part in my opinion.
YNOT? Scoop the rice for life
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.
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
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...
Yay crabs & butter 🤤 .

I like the new boat! Been waiting for another vid! God job gents!
gopro inside the crab trap! Awesome dude! I've already had red rock crab and dungeoness do battle in my belly so I think I know how this is going to roll. Awesome video and its great to see you out in the boat too!
Do you do guided trips? I live very close to SF and would love to go on the water and catch some fish.
Happy holidays, everyone! Let's go catch some fish in 2019!
I dig these collabs with you and Fishing Chef, please do more.
I love your crab videos. Keep them coming!

Yess!!!! More videos with Fishing Chef please! You, Fishing Chef and Outdoor Chef Life. Best Bay Area channels!!!
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.
"The whole stick?"... umm are you new here? 😂😂
Love your videos matt I have been watching since your channels name I think was matt withins
Thomas Lusignan ayyyyye saaaame
Matts :)
Thomas Lusignan I thought your last name was lasagna
same here! love the content
What makes you think why his channel blew up compared to other channels just curious if it’s the same as my theory.
More catch n cooks please i ABSOLUTELY Love these best fisher ever
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.
I think rock crabs taste better but way less meat.
The jose zuniga of fisherman channels
Really like your vids. I'm glad you two got together to do this.
Your videos never fail to increase my appetite! Nice job! ;P
Everybody asks me "what is my ethicnity"
*yeah what is it?*
"actually I don't know, it's been about 10 minutes"
Hahaha right??
2:57 "Everybody asks What's my ethnicity?"
Yeah, what is it?
Answers: Actually, I don't know.
I love the in-trap GoPro footage! More of that! I think it would be interesting to see some in a conical if you can rig that. With the rock crabs just take a pair or handheld garden clippers and lop off the bigger claw and toss em back. That way they still have one to fight with and the claw will grow back in a couple weeks.
I enjoy watching you vid bro! Informative and relaxing to watch. Mahalo from Hawaii 🤙
3:43
Crab: What the!?! Oh HELL NO! I'm outta here!!!
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
@FunkyMonkeySpank yeah, most of my friends are the same way. Although since I've developed a major allergy to shrimp the last couple years and most people with an allergy to one also react to the other, they're both out for me now. 😞
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
Love your channel man. Makes me want to get out and start fishing again
Dungeness tastes better hands down! Rock crab is good, but it's quite salty.
Use unsalted butter, haha.
@Robert Curtin I don't use salt dumbass
I told you , if your not keeping big rock crabs you are missing out.....
Richard Cobb nawwww let em go... so I can catch em ;)
Wow! I really really should have gone crabbing today! Man! Nice to see you Matts!
Great one guys. Would love to see more of this
Great Duo... Its like watching the "Catch n Cook" version of Lebron James and Dwyane Wade ... lol. Rock Crabs are under rated
LOLLL
They look a lot like Stone Crabs from the east coast. As far as I know about the stoneys, you can take a claw as long as they have another over a certain size. They are real good, and their shells are really hard and thick. I've also had these 'Jonah Crab' claws from BJs and they are eerily similar. Are these Rock Crabs the Pacific equivalent?
Says put alit bit of butter but really put the whole butterstick.
Thanks Matts for the fun video!
The cute guy is just focusing on the crab 😂😂😂. I kinda love his accent it's so adorable/cute
Waiting on that collab with Taku from Outdoor Chef Life!
So what is your ethnicity
Chris Arias 50% fisherman and 50% outdoorsman.

Half Butter Half Fish
I would guess, he's a mix of Southeast Asian and Latin.
i know!!! hahaha
The sides of the inside of the shell is it's new shell when it molts. Basically softshell crab bite! The best !
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.
So that’s the person who voice dubbed for Po’s dad in Kungfu Panda.
Im sorry theres no Crab like Dungie Crabs, Second Best is Real Alaskan Snow Crab!!
I’ve been waiting a long time to see these two do a catch and cook together

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 ❤💛💚👍
The fact that you’ve put cameras in the crab cage, is a *_GREAT_* way to gather data!
Dungeness for sure. Without a doubt. 7 months late, but absolutely certain.

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😋
the crabs that fall through the trap like that are too small to keep anyways
Yo Matt, im so happy I didn’t sort of wasted the “butter” today bcuz I enjoy eating that just like your friend. Like him I like the red butter more. Keep up the great vids
I remember when i used to go crabbing for blue land crabs back in PR. I missed them days!
The rails are here for the butter boat 2.0!!! Also, that underwater cam was amazing :o The school of fish swarming it
i love your reaction to the crab butter, haha i never laughed so hard!
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 !!
