  • Blue Crabs, we'll be crabbing in the Tomoka Basin area. Using our ring type traps we'll be crabbing along the road and off a dock. The crabbing was fair, we caught several nice rust color Blue Crabs which usually means they're full of meat. We had a lot of fun that day trying to locate Blue Crabs.

    Try cooking with a steamer basket, add water, beer, white vinegar to the bottom of the basket so that when you add crabs they aren’t sitting in liquid, add crabs, top with Jo Spice #2 seasoning, steam covered 20-25 minutes and pick and enjoy!

    You can take crabs like that boil them then put them in a pot of vegetable soup and whatever seasoning you like and put over the heat and simmer slowly tasting until you get the flavor you like. Nothing like a bowl of crab soup boiled crabs to pick with good fresh buttered bread.

    Do you ever catch blue crabs by scooping them off of dock/bridge pilings? We use to catch them off of pilings on Long Island. Thing I loved about catching them that way was it's a very clean technique, keeps the boat nice and clean.

    I`m guessing the Cork is for holding the 3 lines up so they want tangle. Are you tossing the smaller one`s back because it`s the law or just because they don`t have much meat. Enjoyed it Thinking of buying me some of them traps to try.

    • @TheOldCoupleOutdoors
      @TheOldCoupleOutdoors  Před 2 lety +1

      Right about the cork, a viewer suggested it and it works. There is no size limit in Florida we just throw the small ones because there's not that much meat. Get the metal mesh traps not the cotton net. Thanks again for Watching Chuck

    I hope the picking went better with the boiled crabs. You actually get more weight from crab meat than if you steamed them and drove the moisture out of the meat.
    That sandwich sounds like what we do with softcrabs, except no shell. I dont remember the chef showing how to prepare one on any of your videos.
