I have crabbed for 28 years recreationally in Oregon. Virtually none of the facts presented in this video are accurate. For example, the comparison of crab claws between male and female - males are slightly bigger but that's a regular male claw compared to a gimpy claw from another crab. Also, due to domoic acid concentrations, the state of Oregon strongly suggests NOT eating the liver - all that yellow stuff, inside the boiled crab. And, arguing that people would just throw away red rock crabs in Oregon isn't accurate. They would put them back in the water if they didn't want them. Also, red rock crabs are not nearly as exotic as they are made out to be in this video. Red rocks are a loser crab when you can't catch any dungeness crabs. Early on in my crabbing career, we caught a lot of them. I love crab but red rock crabs don't hold a candle to Dungeness crab, regardless of how much ridiculous sauce you put on them.

I am lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest so in my younger days was able to catch these on a regular basis. I much prefer them to Dungeness. Actually in flavor it is better than snow, king or even blue. Now that I am an invalid I can't go out after them so wish they were available commercially because I really do miss them!

I live in small province here in the Philippines and locals here claim that foreigners from the US and canada love the quality of our seafood and they dont have anything close to it. But when i visited LA the seafood there was 3x better than what we have in our town. Perhaps foreigners are just too polite.

5: 22 Kind of hard to find anything that beats that. Red Rock beats Dungeoness easily. better than both IMO is the Pacific Box Crab (aka Puget Sound king crab. in 50 years of crabbing of the coast of Vancouver Island BC, I have caught 6 Box crab, all have been between 8 and 10 inches across the back.

What's really good is when people express themselves with the lowest vocal fry register of their voice as fast as possible, preferably so fast that the words kind of slur into one and there are no distinct consonants, it's so modern. I love the little packets of quickspeak with inordinate pauses.

Excellent process and well executed. Enjoyed watching every minute and would love to try all of these amazing selections of crab dishes in Oregon one day. I really liked how there was no waste and how the rare Red Rock crab was respected amongst the crew. Thank you for sharing!

Being a year round crab fisherman, that Dungeness crab was about the lowest grade crab you can get, white Dungeness crab mean it's soft and soft crab mean no meat. Great video though I'll give you that

So basically this guy is saying this species isnt covered by regulations so they can just eat 50 year old crabs and the females, which for sustainability you wouldnt do. doesnt seem great
