GIANT CRAB Catch & Cook (Island Survival)

Wow, look at the size of this thing. I'm shaking my head. It's bigger than my hands. Are you kidding? This is absolutely crazy. These sharks are beating themselves up, but there's this chaos. Well, I'm back and happy Sunday everyone, yes, guys, today's mission is us. They're after a

giant

mud

crab

, aren't we friends? Yes, I'm looking forward to one so much. The last one we caught we had to release because it was a mating pair, but today we went out in search of a single male. male, a large single male, a male mud

crab

, so right now there is a full moon and that means there are very low tides during the middle of the day, which will allow us to cross over here and explore this whole new area.

I've never been to this place, it looks like prime mud crab country so that's what we're going to do because there are no mud crabs here either and Dan's true, that's pretty unique. He hadn't seen them around here before. There are some mullet in the shallows. here but there are no mud crabs oh the size of this we could have found Pippi's grounds here that one is empty but there are shells everywhere around here these are huge this would be perfect if we could find some of these shells there are so many dead shells they have washed up in this sewer, but we're having trouble finding any live ones, which is a shame because it would be a pretty good meal if we can get you half a dozen of them, we'll keep looking.

I'm sorry friend. I didn't see you hiding there, you have a very good hiding place. He has like windshield wipers for his eyes. I just found one looking. We open it and see what is there full of sand. It is not like this? We just saw one two. three four five six seven eight nine ten Fucking turtles and I bet they're all males why are you brandishing that knife? Look how many turtles there really are, many more than ten. I'm going to run around and see if they're males or The Bridge woman runs around doing a quick anatomy check to see the percentage of males versus females that have become Beach.

She has a theory that the males are less intelligent, miss the tide and get stranded, but yeah, these marine biologists come up with crazy theories about what it was. your proportion account is often feminine wow, did I do my muffs right? Yeah, that's 23. Yeah, and what's her theory. You've heard these theories before, but I think women are much smarter than their men to get stuck on any type. The big boys just have a sleeping is him, how much longer do you think they have left until the tide comes in? he's fine, yeah, yeah, leaving Bee, another one here, it's one in 24 with that one I didn't see.

Swan is going to warm up at the time when we have a full moon and what that means is that the tide comes out of these banks very quickly and has actually caught some of these turtles here that are left high and dry, but although it looks quite hot For the poor bastards, they will. be okay, these kinds of things are built to last, so we'll leave it, he just found a different species of hermit crab, look how cute, that's amazing, he goes all the way to the top to say hello to the viewers, thanks for watching. this could very well be a minecraft transport, no one home, the next one seems likely to be next, we have a deep channel here, we are trying to cross to the other side and that bay seems likely for crowds of mud, it actually wasn't that deep.

Was it just Mercury we thought we were going to have to swim around using the spear to hit around the hole and if you hit a mud crab you will feel and hear the noise so that's what we'll try to see if we can locate one. Everything comes back here under you. Oh, it's pretty deep, actually, yeah, oh. Something just grabbed hold of this. Is not very big. This hole would probably indicate that it is a small to medium sized mud crab. I would say I don't want to just spear this mud crab because in case it's a female we don't

catch

the females and also in case it's a little small we'll just tap around to see if I can

catch

it.

For starters, I'm a little sorry for its size. I'm not sure if it's a rock or a very solid mud crab. I no longer feel anything with the spear. I'm just going to feel a little slow. All the silt has already covered it and I think it actually buried itself in the sand, I can't feel it anymore. I think we're going to miss it, man, okay, let's move on, I'll move on, uh, look at this. little guy, what's coming back up, you're curious, you just found a nice hole here, this is the worst stick ever. I'll be empty, this time, I found what was once a stranded male turtle, probably stuck in it, oh, little crumb, oh, that was good. little hiding place for me oh sorry, sorry, it's my turtle, I found it here first, we'll leave you, honey, you can have it holy, this is what I think it is, guys, come and check this out, this is gigantic, maybe gigantic, oh my god.

I can see it from here. You see it's right there. No way, let's try to get some images. I'm sure it's just a steak that looks like a cross. Look, what is he doing there? My God! Look at the size of this thing. that's a

giant

land minecraft, they're the craziest, most unlikely place, dude, this might be the biggest one we've got, yeah, that beautiful blue color stood out on this little bank of weed, it's had a little battle, oh, it's easy, strong, is he? Strong doesn't mean there is a bigger one, there must be a bigger one moving around there are no way there are bigger guys.

I'm shaking my head okay, sometimes you just get lucky, like finding a giant mud crab in a small pool like that. You will find that the unicorn fish is already there as the food. We're on a roll, aren't we? This is one of the most impressive mud crabs I have ever seen. Here you are looking at the animal with the second highest level of testosterone in the animal kingdom if you get close to it it is ready to fight. I think he's the boss of this area and these Nippers are obviously, oh my gosh, so obviously you have to play a little cautious with the mud crabs and get your hands in there. to the bottom of the hole, okay, back to the heart, do you think Fran, back to the heart to feed, okay, let's get out of the sun for a while, huh, it'll be a great meal for us, oh, there's a turtle right here , oh yeah, hey, buddy, see you?

What are your ankles big mud crabs for? Man, there are so many mullets here, man. I'm glad we're eating mud crab and not mullet today. Oh, what was that mother that just hit me between the legs? Now the good news is that the tide is returning. and it's starting to float these turtles off the shore and give them a bit of a cool down after a long couple of hours, it must feel good mate, as the tide is coming in, all these sharks are coming for food too, look how many there are all these bow waves here are all black reef sharks there are so many of them these sharks have something what you got buddy, home sweet home okay we'll light up hey yeah oh let's let that get real hot, burn nice and heat it up and get a good charcoal base going and that microwave will turn on just in time to put it in there you think it's hot look at its size the color is bigger than my hands yeah wow that's right over the coals , nice, yes.

My crabs are one of the few species that no matter how big the male is, it still tastes just as delicious as many other species, the bigger ones you won't want to eat, but mud crabs are a good one to start with.

cook

now it's turning that orange color I was about to set the camera on its mark I look cool I found what you're doing up there what's going on yeah there's like a hundred sharks right on the beach crazy I don't know if it's chasing something in the waves and they are feeding on it, that's amazing, it looks like the bottom is

cook

ed.

A friend I'm thinking of turning it over, I'm not sure how, because it's too heavy, let's get another stick, one, two, three, perfect, it turned out pretty good though. I think it's almost done yeah we're getting a little bit of that smell out there it smells really, really good and all this smoke is actually the reason we love cooking crabs over the fire because all that smoke really gets to the meat and it's like a smoked mud crab it's uh it's the best the best way to do it what are you doing here buddy? I'm going to cool it quickly so the meat that touches the shelf is okay Jack disagrees but that's it and I love the noise of this is it's great, he thought I needed another one.

Friends training theory. 100 true. When you cook a mud crab, you put it directly on ice afterwards and that will cause the meat to fall away from the shell a lot. easier to eat I'm not sure if a bucket of salt water will have the same effect but I never trusted myself it has two buckets yes, easy it's big off the stove well made it doesn't even fit on the bed that's amazing well, dinner is served , yes, life and the fork, I just want to show something, it's crazy how they stick in here, yes, they look like a human being's molars, they're like human teeth, right?

Yes, they just crush their fingers, there are some sharks. As if they were stranded surfing the wave and they are actually high and dry in the sand, they are coming this way, right? It's pretty strange, there's a school of sharks, there's dried trevally here, which is causing the water to boil, they're coming this way, we're going to come ashore here, so, look at the sharks, what's going on, there's hundreds of them. them, it's time for dinner, this is absolutely crazy, I think there are three flavors in the middle, there are sharks and I think GT had something. on the beach they were almost biting our ankles, that was crazy, oh my god, I can't see what they are eating, absolutely crazy, these sharks are hitting themselves, but there is this chaos, this guy has gotten into the bench, absolutely amazing hey buddy dinner with a show right outside the front door back to dinner I hope no one stole our crabs those sharks almost climbed high enough to steal our mud crowd but hopefully it's still there okay, let's get into this, let's listen, look at that, can I have that? one, yeah, pretty good, huh, look, that's the best, isn't that good?

Do not offer here. Do we eat better than in a restaurant or somewhere at home? But this is an absolute exception. This is the best there is. he will be the crack, prepare yourself a second, how much suspense didn't cool it down enough, look, it's not a perfect break, but no complaints, this is one of the best nights ever, oh, right behind here there are sharks and a giant horse mackerel. like it washed up right behind us here damn it's amazing oh holy molded oh what this is what I suspected it's a silvery bit and it's so full these guys are spawning here right now oh yeah it's full of eggs these guys are spawny and that's what uh now I want to let it get somewhere go somewhere safe down here sorry buddy good luck oh no way oh oh no oh no that was too close to our little buddy the sharks were chasing him and they ran aground and yeah I could catch it what a sunset it's hard to beat bro this is as good as it gets behind us we also have a full moon rising through the palm trees over our cabin, it's honestly surreal, so I hope a little bit of what's happening. that surrounds us here can reach your living room.

It's very special. Thanks for joining us. See you next sunday.
