Working a small number of lobster pots from our small family boat we catch a MONSTER brown crab. I show you how to cook, clean and prepare brown crab and then join us at Spargo’s kitchen where Jim shows us how to make some amazing fresh crab cakes. 🦀😊

John, I almost hate this channel, your lobster / crab trapping really gets to me ! Yet alone the cooking. I’ve told you in the past how hard it is for me to watch you gather these lovely sea creatures. Just love it , and your channel with your lovely guests. Thank you all.👍🇺🇸✌🏻🙏🏽😎
