Thank you! This is the third video I watched and the MOST easy to follow along.

I know he is just explaining this stuff but it should take about 10 seconds to part out and clean a crab. It should take about 5 minutes to clean an entire crab and there should be 30% weight retention in a full hard shell dungeness crab. People here in northern CA do not use the term "mustards", we call that material "butters". If you were selling cracked crab in San Francisco and tossed the butters in with the shells...an Asian guy would pop up out of no where and slap you, that stuff is a delicacy to them. The membranes in the legs follow right into the body meat and should peel away into sections very easy to get the body meat out. There is a technique you pick up on about the hundredth crab you pick and clean in a day.

Good butter is the best. Well, the best is when it's full of roe and butter. I got 3 last year that were completely smack full with roe and butter. I could take out the entire piece that filled the body and just ate it like a sandwich. Good times. Crab meat on a baguette with a little bit majonaise, a beer and I am a happy dude

+JanaWehbe it taste like a strong crab flavor. You can actually make dips with that liquid (eat the crab meat with the dip...maybe cook it with coconut oil, whatever). But be careful! it has lots of cholesterol with it (after tasting it, for me it's worth the kcals XD). I remember there was a time where a TV show here in Philippines featured someone who became rich after selling crab paste (cooked Aligi) at his hometown and later on exported his products. Pretty interesting if u ask me.

I used to eat crab as a child every weekend and I never realized how expensive it was until I was a adult. Living close to the ocean has its perks. You get to eat good fresh sea food.

Being from Maryland, where we are absolute experts on breaking down crabs, i will say he has some good information, like steaming them instead of boiling, but also some unnecessary information too, like breaking off the legs first. You can actually leave them on, and break it down so when you have to pick it out of the crevices, you don't need to use the fork or skewer. Go to maryland, and as a local how to pick, i guarantee that it will be a great learning experience and you might make a friend.

How to break down a crab: Step 1: *Dismember it*

Wonderful video! One tip I got was to use kitchen scissors down the length of the crab legs.

that "mustard" is the best part. all foodies should know that.

Awesome

add rice to the mustard shell and mixed it up. IT's YUMMY!!!

I have a wood mallet half that size that a seafood distributor gave me that when used properly (practice) is the easiest,fastest way to remove leg meat in whole pieces(muscle). Hands and fingers are the best tools for the body parts and running water to clean em.I have 3 fresh Dungenous in the fridge right now so time to get crackin, I also find the whole process therapeutic while indulging in an adult beverage.

Yesterday my brother brought home a lot of crabs. I dont think I even ate crab before, and i have so many to eat now

I think the consensus is either that you don't live in a place with a lot of crab or seafood and think this is totally gross or, like me, you're already a pro and think that this guy is throwing out a lot of good stuff!

Crabs are essentially the spiders of the sea and fill me with the same sense of dread every time I look at one..... but they taste oh so divine.

thomas joseph. what are the different types of flour and what is the use of its type. like cake flour, low and high protein flour. thanks in advance.

love this kind host

Thanks

My favourite tool for getting out ALL the crabmeat is disposable dressing forceps. They let you get into the smallest leg parts.

"So you can tell it's a blue crab because it's a blue crab"

I've never heard it called 'mustard'. Here on the north coast it's called 'crab butter'. Look up how to shake out a crab. Yes. that's what it's called. Shaking out crab meat. the fisheries here in Humboldt have production lines of shakers. they can shake out a crab in less than a minute. And the butter is full of flavor but it's also known as the gut. After cooking, it just looks like butter in a stage of clarification. With the exception of where it meets the shell. That looks like the outer film of the claw meat but the texture is that of an over-soaked lasagna noodle. But oh so yummy is the butter.

Wish we had crabs that big in Maryland 😍

Crab oysters and lobster are some of the most underrated foods

Good video and the mustard is delicious! But all it really is its a filter for the blood

Hey Thomas, can you make a sushi, the Martha Stewart-way or the Thomas-way??

2lb crab yields around 0.8lb to 1.0lbs of meat. It's about a 63/37 yield of shell to edible meat and non edible parts. I have an accurate food scale and tested it with 1.8 to 2.1lb crabs I've gotten my hands on.

this is relatable to throwing away a diamond ring and keeping the box.

First time I ever heard it called Mustard?? Here on the west coast, it's called Butter. No matter what you call it, I don't care for it and clean it out. I also Boil them while alive in salt water for 15 minutes then drop them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. They are then vacuum sealed and frozen. When it's time to eat them I thaw, clean then season and steam them to reheat them. I tend to simply crack and eat but if I want patties or a salad I will pick the meat. I catch them, not buy so I tend to have a lot of them on hand.

What about if the meat have shell fragments in it how do we get them out

I'm hungryyyyyy!

isn't the "mustard" the same thing as the crab fat?

what some people in china do is after taking out the crabs gills from the ‘head’ we mix some crab meat, the so called mustard thingy, rice/glass noodles, green onions, soy sauce, and garlic in the crabs shell and eat it that way. Its super tasty.

I know John Magnetron personally. He made me watch the 1937 disappearance of Air Woman Amelia Earheart on Christmas Day 2019, on the discovery channel. Where it became evident that her and her Navigator Fella’ were eaten by Crabs on Gardner Island in the Mid Pacific. It’s put me off Crab. I don’t know how he can sleep at night.

I envy people who can eat seafoods like crabs or lobsters, they seem to really enjoy it, I like watching them crack things and sucking the juices

bruh all the asians would be so mad at how you're doing this LOL

What would be the best way to steam the crab. Plop them in the freezer to numb them or just toss them in straight from the sea or market? Or plunge a knife through their head as one would with a lobster?
