    • The gulf coast???? Buddy thats the absolute worst place to get blue crabs. In MD we frown upon crabs caught in that area. Sorry pal. Although he did do a pretty good job picking the crabs.

    • @@timothyschmitz2341 I really enjoy telling you that way more than half of the blue crab eaten in MerryLand is flown in every day from the Louisiana Gulf Coast . I, along with many other local fishermen were major suppliers to you ungrateful a$$es for many years! Another point is if you think this guy did a good job then you have been taught wrong. Enjoy your crab and your ignorance!!!

  • Great video. I live in MD, born and raised, and eating crabs is almost a mandatory thing for a Marylander. We are taught from a young age how to clean a crab. There are plenty of ways to do it but one thing you never, ever do if you are cooking crabs yourself is to boil them. NEVER BOIL a blue crab. Steamed only. The only exception is a soft shell crab, it's okay to batter them and fry them, but that's the only exception. There is hell to pay if you boil a blue crab lol. My prefered seasoning is Old Bay. I put it on crabs, corn on the cob, popcorn, scrambled eggs, etc.. Almost anything that salt can go on Old Bay can go on, and it tastes far better than salt. Also, in MD, if someone says they want crabs, it's always blue crabs. If you want just crab legs, you say snow crab legs. I like AYCE snow crab legs but I never call them crabs. That general term is reserved for blue crabs only.

  • Good vid. I've been picking the MD crab in sections the same way since I was 5yo in 1974. Grew up on the water 30 miles south of Annapolis, that was nothing but crab and oyster boats back in the day. Only difference, I handle the knife like a fine sushi chef to save raw fingers after 2 dozen. Use it in the same order, same as yours-to cut the apron, pop the top, cut the devilfingers, cut off the mouth, scrape the center, chop in half, chop in quarters, then start picking. Putting the knife down wastes time. after 45 years, I have the same knife movements that never cut fingers. I've tried Hurricane Hazels way, but she's a legend and it just screws up my crabs. lol So I stick with what I learned. I usually take a break, drink some beer and wait for the table to catchup. About to get a half bushel delivered from Crisfield's MD. looking forward to doing some pickin'! Cheers!

  • Well, who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’ve learned a few things about picking crabs. Born and raised on the gulf coast, eating fresh seafood is a way of life and enjoying blue crabs is a family tradition. We like to catch our own but will buy them for time to time. On one family vacation, we managed to eat 16 dozen crabs and at the end of September, we are headed back to the island for another family vacation. I’m very impressed with your technique, well done on the picking instructions. Thanks.

  • From Singapore and now Maryland.. Grew up eating crabs. You pull down the apron, dig in between the shell and pull the shell off first (use knife if you have to as leverage). Then the rest of the legs will come off easy from the main torso. The meat from the main chambers also break up easier. You first tackle the legs, you can potentially cut yourself because they less likely to “give”.

  • Nowadays I use Nitrile gloves to stop cutting my fingers, a wooden tool or anything else hard to crack the claws open, and I like to use the smallest part of pincher or any pointy thing to fish out the smaller bits. I would never waste as much meat as this guys does, I love getting every little bit. I live in Pacific northwest now and get lots of Dungeness, which is like a 'giant' blue crab, but still think blue crabs have outstanding flavor and "sweetest" meat. I try to get them when I travel home to eastern US. I love Maryland style seasoning with butter and some malt vinegar for dipping. I also don't care if it takes all day - or all night to eat crabs, it's the best thing ever.

    • Question: Is Crab Corner serving authentic MARYLAND blue crabs or just serving Blue Crabs Maryland style? The reason being.... blue crabs are found down the east cost all the way around into the Gulf. He mentioned "seaweed" and I have never seen/heard of seaweed in a Maryland blue crab. Maryland blue crabs have a finite harvest season because it gets cold here and the crabs are said to bury themselves i the bay's muddy bottom during the late fall, winter and spring seasons. Also, Maryland crabs (because of the colder weather) take an average of 18 months to reach maturity for harvesting while the Gulf crabs mature in just 12 months. At any rate, a Marylander can tell a Chesapeak Bay Maryland crab from an [imported] gulf, florida or carolina crab.

    • @@TravelingIsMyHobby depends on where in Maryland the crabs come from as far as what type of underwater grasses they may have on them. What is commonly known as seaweed is usually on crabs that I get from Crisfield early in the season before they start running up closer to me in the Tred Avon, Honga, Wye, Chester, Elk and Bohemia. He can only get actual Maryland crabs during the Maryland season but North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana etc have longer seasons.
