Caught cooked & picked by the fisherman

Brilliant. Just picked two spider crabs. Made the whole process easy. I liked the systematic approach.
This is one of the better videos I have seen showing how to pick crab. Well Done!
Don't know if anyone has already mentioned it, but the shells should not necessarily be thrown away; it can be boiled and used for fish stock. Here in the States we use it for gumbos, chowders and the like. Obviously, the boil will need to be strained, but it's quite wonderful for other dishes.
I only started cooking professionaly 45 years ago but I'm still learning and that was a 1st class lesson. Thanks , great video.
Thanks for that. Good info and expertly done.
Off shopping now and I think I will buy a Mackerel.
Fantastic video. I caught a large spider crab the other night and this helped me get absolutely loads of meat out of it. Thanks
Very informative troy a brilliant watch spider so nice sweeter then brown 🦀
Hi trojs I have just splashed out on a new telly 58 inch ,I can now watch your vids in comfort without squinting keep them coming just watched vid on picking spiders , haven't yet tryed one because I live in London and I have never seen any the shops sad never mind ttfn 😂
Should get a great view with that especially with the new 4k videos
Great video. Jim Tasmania
Great video, only thing missing was the boil water needs “old bay seasoning” available here in US.
There's an idea I do have some I picked up
Have a guess what.....................................................................I'M STARVING NOW LOL, great video
Brilliant fella, expert tuition on removing crab meat 👍🏻🇬🇧
very useful video, many thanks
very informative, i was led to believe it is only the legs & claws that are edible..... i am enlightened!
Have you ever saw them being cleaned out by air pressure? Do it in an old fishtank on its side and use a compressor and air jet and blow the meat out and scrape the meat out with a kitchen spatula, the set up looks like a sand blasting chamber, your looking at your hands from the top of the tank, it was used as a quick way to dress crab for commercial sale up here in north east scotland, the legs and body was put back in the shell along with the brown meat and claws were sold separately
Yes I have seen this very quick probably very good at being shell free as well
Excellent and instructive video.... just wish I could catch a monster like that, they seem much smaller round Plymouth....
It varies from year to year where they walk. Also if there are miles & miles of tangle nets blocking their way in wont help.
Great video, you should do a catch and cook episode, maybe mackeral or pollack anything really!
Have been thinking about it. Catching a few Bass & Pollock at the moment only seen 1 mackerel in the last few days
I look forward to a catch and cook soon! I went out for mackeral today myself in south ireland, no luck as of yet, hopefully they will be in soon!
1st class video! Love your view on the brown meat 👍
Nice video Troj shame it's had so many views but very little comments
I put a capful of white vinegar in too. It enhances the flavor of the crab and makes it easier to crack the shell.
Brown stuff is called crab butter.
@@jmengelhard Thats not what dad use to call it :):)
We have monster crab here in Redondo beach California
Wonderful I love crab. Here in Maine the crab is small, but good. Mostly lobster. Great video sir.
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed that one
Excellent video sir, I learned a lot from that. I dive and have never taken large spider crabs (male), as I was not too sure how to process them. I do now... Thanks.
They are very tasty well worth a try especially diving you should be able to find the biggest ones that don't fit into the crab pots.
@@muchaoutdoors5731 Bless.
I heard a Jersey story once about how someone cooked a spider crab and then having done so chucked the whole crab away and strained off the remaining water for soup.
That does not sound very nice but each to there own :) Bit of a waste of good crab meat.
Never seen one done before Troj, I've done LOADS of brown crabs , the shell from crab and lobster make REALLY good fish stock for fish soup or for sauces
I would say brown crab are easier to pick than spider but taste I would have to give it to the spider. Fish stock I can imagine never really eaten fish soup before though.
Mmm love that crab ❤
Here in United States or at least where I am we call that the guts in internals you make it into a nice little dipping sauce crab butter
@jeremy orourke we call it brown meat however I’m always dubious as to which bits are good and the bad however would be nice to have an explanation on dipping sauce or butter making methods?
.. yeah same here I don't eat that stuff I just know some of my Samoan friends eat it when we go crabbing they tell me don't clean and cook the crab bring them back hole we want to do it so we can have the crab butter
Never had that crab but really enjoyed watching the video
If you ever get the chance to try it you should its very tasty especially the spider crab
We do vinegar and old bay for the crabs I grew up eating. I’m so jealous I want to eat one of these big boys one day.
They are generally regarded as the tastiest of the crabs here but are a little more work picking
Great video. I have seen spider crabs while diving and catching lobster in Florida, but never tried spider crab. Looks great to eat.
The ones here taste superb they are in there prime when they arrive.
wow thank you
In Maryland we use a spice called Old Bay and we steam our crabs we steam them and we use a lot of Old Bay while we're steaming them in the pot very very delicious. Old Bay. It's a seasoning. Very nice video you have there. I'm going to try to use the tip you gave about picking the meat without cracking the shell. Thank you. Have a great day and remember Jesus loves you. 🙂
I have tried old bay, I bought some and got it sent over but only used it on fish not on crab. I have been steaming crab recently so its something I will try. Thanks
@@Trojwaterman I hope you like it, Mr. Troj, when you steam your crab or crabs, however many you choose , sir. God bless you and thank you.
@@Trojwaterman By the way, that was alot of meat. You did a very good job. No shell cracking. That's different. I need to try that. Good day, now. 🙂
Sometimes you could use the shell to make a bisque. I have not tried it yet but it’s on my cooking list at some stage as it can be time consuming. Perfect during covid lockdown though.
I love crab
Great Video love the way you put the crabs excetra in the freezer first i think this is the way i would do that also.
The brown gungy stuff it's the best bit don't throw it out
Why am I watching this at 9:33 pm at night? Its making me what sea food
I'm watching this at 3am LOL
Brilliant! I've just, last night, caught my first 2 Spiders and have one in the pot right now. Have picked Brown before but never Spider........ Not gonna tell my wife and daughter I've watched this vid, I'll just collect the brownie-points of an expert Spider picker! Thanks for the great vid.
Spider crab is very tasty I hope to get out for some after next week
use a pair of scissors to open spider crab leg's and claws Troj, much easier.
As a child on holiday it was always Dads thing to dress a brown crab !! and he taught me of course !1
the crabs of the Yorkshire coast are real solid and meaty !! even the brown meat has a good texture !! we always call it the "cream" yummy !
This was very helpful, I caught a good sized one last night & was able to prepare it with confidence.
Glad it helped. There are some good sized spider crab around this year
Dry and grind the shell. Feed it to your chickens. If you don't have any chickens, get some. Great video. Take your riggers off in the kitchen LOL.
I was a chef for a while and a very nice Italian restaurant and the way we did the legs of crab we used scissors you cut down one side cut down the other open it up and you have all the meat the easiest way you can possibly ever get the meat out of crab legs scissors
Nice job! Yes us yanks love it in butter.. 😝😝😝
Yes I have seen makes me wonder if the crabs taste the same. I might have to try butter one day
1st class. People pay a small fortune for that. Yet another fantastic video.
Seems to me that you’ve just thrown some of the best of the crab away, delicious flavour, pardon me, but I think I’ve seen enough
Brown meat on spider crab is not nice so I have been told by a number of people who eat the brown meat in the brown crab. Apparently its watery and bitter.
You can get a crab pick off ebay for £2.15. Maybe an idea?
Yes you can use them. I used to make crab & lobster picks years ago when I worked with silver. I think most people kept them in the boxes though :)
I like it for the way u recycle the crabs waste.
Looks spot on, don't get them up here near Newcastle, but done the same with many brown eaters.
I thought spider crabs were inedible to humans
They are edible and extremely tasty, in my experience they are preferred by many. Some other crabs around the world may contain High levels of toxins often due to an algae but we do not have this problem here.
@@Trojwaterman I learned something new today i recently developed a shellfish allergy to crustaceans so sadly I won’t ever be able to try it
just like to add its fiddely but worth it !!!!
I was really surprised to see how much of that large crab was shell, it made me wonder how many crabs do they take to fill a 125 gram of crab meat; your bowl looked big so would you know how many gram of meat was in that.
i know i am full of questions but that's just the way i am i could almost taste it here in the UK.
Its a lot more than it looks at a guess probably 500g to 750g from that crab (2.4kg crab) It can vary a lot how much you get because when the crab has not much meat it will have water instead so when you weigh the crab its the same weight.
When I go back to Norfolk to see my parents we have crab with salt & vinegar, & a loaf of bread. Always worth the hard work. I always have brown crab, but have never tried a spider crab.
You should if you get the chance they are superb just make sure you get a big one
FYI I’m from Guernsey 🇬🇬 and have liked and subscribed.
Thanks for subbing and the spiders are moving in around the shores now
Trojs Fishing yes I just made a bike wheel net today just for that purpose any suggestions on prime coastal spot?
Hey Trojs, do you take a phone or a radio out with you just In case you run into some trouble
Yes both
All you need is a salad to go with that, it looks awesome mate.
That's it
The proper way to cook any shellfish is to cook it in whatever water it lives in it is the perfect salt balance whether it be brackish freshwater or saltwater and yes there is a different content of salt in different areas cook them in the water they came from
Wouldn't the water it came from be dirty with bacteria ?
Don't like any kind of crab meat.but if I every catch one I will know how to get the meal lol.
Nice video the crab looks delicious
The crab butter is the best part and you threw it out 😭
Some people love it some people don''t :)
Trojs Fishing very true. It’s also super high in cholesterol. My folks try to throw it out before I can get my hands on it 😅
i can never dress a spider with eating a load, after watching the video i am now very hungry :) brill video sir
Bruh. Those are nerves if a lobster is still moving after cutting it in half. All shellfish do that. Disturbing lol.
How many grams of meat would you estimate that to have been please 😇
I'll take that challenge
Who else wanted to see him pull all that meat off the claw? 👿😋
You lost me when you didn’t give your viewers the option to see the brown meat because you didn’t like it.
Not particularly informative for those that haven’t cooked/picked crab before!
You cant miss it. its all the brown /yellow substance in the crab when you rip the shell off. Its internal organs primarily the liver also called brown meat. Mainly eaten on the brown crab not so much with spider crab as it can be very watery and bitter. Had nothing to do with whether I like it or not.
Ace😢
I just hate it when crabs and lobsters scream!
I have never heard one scream before
I did not know you not supposed to eat the the lungs
They wont hurt you as far as I am aware. Apparently they don't taste very nice. We call them dead mans fingers here that was enough to put us off eating them as a kid.
Wrong black pepper and vinegar not salt lol😁
Salut l'ami bravo à toi belle peche bonne soirée
I’m usually too hungry for all that and I can’t stand cold food! I would break that sucker open n eat it while it’s hot. Seems like such a waste of time, I’ve never had a prob just breaking and eating crab by hand.
Some people don't mind just breaking it open themselves and eating it even with a few bits of shell. This is more for if your preparing it for the table & guests.
Maybe you should do less talking and more action it will be the best
Words do help to explain things though eh? Or maybe you're psychic.
To much talking...
