Fried SoftShell Crab (Full Version) | Let’s Go! 

That Bob Ross shirt though ....

There’s something so damn wholesome about how he does things. I want to drink a beer and cook some bomb ass food with this dude.

Time to scour every seafood market in the greater Seattle area to find some softshell crabs.

Now that’s “right on time.” Love soft shell crab.

Oh the pride of his Cajun cooking I love it if I can handle humidity and heat I'd be living down there in Louisiana great people incredible food and I can't believe nobody's heard of a soft shell crab!!!

Greetings I love your channel and your short and direct way of explaining

Im from Texas and I LOVE soft shell crabs. I get them whenever they are offered at local restaurants. Loved watching this.

We eat soft shell crabs here in Texas (Houston). Us Cajuns had to teach ‘em over here in far west Louisiana though.

My favorite sandwich I’ve ever had was a soft shell crab sandwich in Wilmington NC. GREAT VIDEO Ralph!

Hi Ralph. I love your videos, I’ve been watching for a long time now here on RU-vid. I just wanted to say that I prefer these longer style videos. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you :)

Just had some soft shells on Thursday! So delicious 🤤 Can't wait to eat some more! Louisiana proud 💜💛

Damn...I was wantin you to crunch into one at the end!

Your the man Ralph ... no gimmicks just good ole cooking 😎

Awesome ! We used to catch the softshell crabs in the Barnegat bay , Barnegat N.J.. For some reason larger blue claw crabs cary the softshell crab underneath them . We would use weighted drop lines with bunker on them . When you see the line go taunt the crab was trying to walk away with the bait. Just pull them up slow and get them with the scoop net ! Sometimes there would be 2 crabs. One crab , carrying the softshell underneath ! Very good eatin ! Great video !

I love soft shell crab, esp. when they’re fresh. Soft shell crab Poboys are also amazing. I gotta try this recipe!

Love me some soft shell crab, as long as they're cleaned right. Ralph knows what's up!

Your voice is so captivating bro I’m from Canada 🇨🇦 found one of your short videos and instantly subscribed

They are delicious and when I get sushi I get the soft shell crab roll. Thanks for another awesome video

I am born and raised in tx and I was raised up on crawfish, blue crab hard and soft shells, shrimp boils the whole 9.

I'm from Houston, ain't never heard of soft shell crab, but if Ralph say its good, it MUST be good 🦀🍽️

Love soft shell crab had my first in cape cod and fell in love. Any time they’re on the menu at a restaurant my wife and I order it!

😆 first things first -- I'm loving the Bob Ross T-shirt. Second, now I'm hungry for a Po-Boy.

I’ve been eating crabs since I can remember and I’ve never had soft shell crab before. I gotta try them!! I just called and my crab lady said they’re $7.00 each 😭 nevertheless we’ll be picking up a few when we have our next boil. Tfs ❤️

Love ya Ralph.. always creative meals and desserts...keep up the great videos

I just recently heard of softshell crabs this year, but I am in a moo-moo state.

We have them here on long island NY, fried or sauteed in buttah. Those look delicious!!

Southern Maryland boy been crabing most of my life. We like it with old Bay and fish fry batter but we fry them in peanut oil. Or you can Fry them up black iron skillet. Well done sir👍✌

When I was at LSU in the early 80’s I had a weekend place in a rooming house in NO. At that time a soft shell crab po’ boy cost about $6. That was pretty much the food budget for the day, but goddamn I’ll never forget how damned _goooood_ they were!

Finger licking good yo!! Sup from Baytown Texas, playa. Yes I've had softshell crabs and they rrr delicious!!!

i wanted to see you eat one like that. next time film that. ive never had soft shell crab 🙁

I've heard of them, but never tried one. I don't think we have them here in Washington. But sure seems easier than picking it. Will add it the bucket list. 😉

I Loooove soft shell Crabs!!! Nice work!

Never had em but now I want to! Great stuff Ralph.

Another reason to hit the bayou. Great vid.

I had my first soft shell crab 30 years ago at whitecaps in Gulfport, MS It is absolutely the best crab ever!! They are worth every penny!! ♥️Kristen

We get them up here in NY for about a month or so … freakin delicious…🤘✌️

We have a big seafood culture up here in VA too. Those Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs. Not quite Louisiana but it works for us lol

We have them up east in Connecticut but they are getting harder to find and I've been crabbing for 40 years. Now I've never done the the soft shell before but I've had them in some shoreline resturaunts. They must not clean the right because there is often sand in the crab. I would love to try them the way you do yours. I've always felt blue crabs were the sweetest shellfish ever even better than Maine lobster. Love your videos they always make me hungry. I'm definitely going to order your seasoning too. Pretty sure my wife and adult sons will love the seasoning as well.

Just discovered this channel and it’s soo cool! Thanks for sharing all your awesome recipes and being so kind

All I know is that t-shirt is FIRE! 🔥🔥

Taste them things man. Making me crazy waiting for to eat them. Stretching to remember last time I had east coast soft shell crabs.

Hahhaaaa you know I liked this video good buddy!

Yes I'm from Louisiana what we don't eat

Man you put the hurting on my stomach nice job!

MAN!!!!! U KILLIN ME!!!

Too much dope on Cam @ 5:10 👀🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man those look fire! Nice and golden brown! I gotta make a trip down to the Westwego Lot to see what they got👍🏾

Probably my favorite seafood.....softshells. When I was stationed in New Orleans years ago at the 8th Marine Corps District we lived down in Plaqueman's Parrish....this was back in the l970's. Couple of us bought a Lafitte Skiff and pulled a trawl net on the weekends along with setting crab pots. There is no bad way to eat those beauties. Thanks for the memories, Ralph......

I get em here i Fla. One of my FAV MEALS ! Go ahead on !

I Love em and eat them ever time i visit New Orleans.

Ppl think NY ers have such interesting accents. They're so over hyped, it's annoying to me. I think ppl from Philly have annoying :/ accents too but I guess ppl don't want to talk about them as much... or forget to. Or never knew they existed. I genuinely think ppl from New Orleans, (other nearer states but specifically n.o.) have interesting accents. 😊 I dont think I've ever heard someone say yall & yo so much tho. Coming from him, it almost sounds similiar. I'd say it's something about their culture. But idk much about their culture either. It just makes me think of Mardi Gras, a world on their own, old timers vibe, voodoo witch stuff, eerie haunting stuff, & the skeleton key. Lol I mean no harm. But I'm jello they must have better access to this type seafood. I dont even think there's a local seafood market around. I'd hafta drive into a bigger city at an overpriced Japanese restaurant to get soft shell crab. & they're def not this big

I'm from Texas and 46 years old. Been eating Softshell Crab my whole life. One of my favorite things to eat. Absolutely Delicious!

OMG 🦀 these are sooooooooooo good deep fried in a spider roll 🍣!!!!!! But that's the one thing I have to not make myself. If I took the cran home I wouldn't have the heart to kill him. Some dumb bitch on hells kitchen had me traumatized w gordon ramsay telling her the right way to dispatch one as opposed to the brutal painful torture she was putting the poor creature through

I always heard about em but they so dang expensive never have bought any appreciate your video. All your videos are easy and wonderful.

Now thats some good eatin!

I’m from Virginia and I eat These little critters twice a week... Yes Sir!!!! That’s how it’s done.

Whats that? Oh yeah, Letssss goooo

I never had them Ralph not sure if we got them in the U.K. they look beautiful tho 👍🏻

1:29 NOW PLAYING Check out "How To Clean A Soft Shell Crab" by Justin Stroemple / you will see he removes the trap door - apron.

My mom has been craving them but can't find them anywhere....we're literally in the port city..

Boyyyyy. This right here. My fav. Love them. Only cooked them few times. So hard to get around BTR! Live them as is. Or on poboy. Crabs any way is my #1. But soft shells are such a treat. Delish. Ty fir sharing.

We are visiting in Connecticut and went to Jimmies of Savin Rock in West Haven for lunch today. Yep, had 2 soft shell crabs, fries and onion rings, wife had fried clams. Love the crabs, can’t do the clams; anyway, had to use my stimulus check to pay for the crabs...

My son loves the shirt 😁

I Love the Bob Ross tshirt! And this recipe has me drooling for fried softshells!!!

livin down in grande isle... those softies were breakfast lunch and dinner! thank the good Lord!

My dad is 83 he was born in more orlean and he moved out west to LA in the great migration. What was that the 60s? I’ll leave the New Orleans for one year in 1996. That was a crazy year in the hood never has softshell crab. Oh, you know about them, but plan on doing some this Christmas along some gumbo. We out here on the Pacific, so we get those Dungeness us, which is my crappy choice but I want to do something different this year. I’m gonna try them out.

Ralph, I've heard of soft shell,always wanted some. We can't get fresh, is frozen just as good? Please let me know. Video was great .thank you so much. I'm from Cental Texas

I have soft shell ceab only few tikes now from a local sushi place. Its tempura fried. Every time there had been bite or so thats in the middle (body) of the crab that has funny taste...kind of gross tbh. Its like kind of sharp tastings. Hard to describe but very off putting. I noticed when i had that bite it wss yellowy. Is that the fat or unedble part? Is this normal..is that the part u were cleaning out. I guess what im asking is that yellow stuff u cleaned out ..if that not cleaned out does it taste icky/funny? I guess i could describe the taste as pudgent lol. Sharp kind like soury bitter. Either way it wss just icky. And kind of tuened me off from ordering it again. Im not sure if its just their crab or maybe they dont clean it all the way before frying. Or is this nirmal for soft shell crab?

In Eastern NC we had them Soft Shell Crabs I hadnt been to the restaurant in many years but used to eat them fried on a sandwich similar to hamburger Roll is was like the Restaurant own Rolls was very good, there is a certain kind of flour they use there fries almost white it looks lighter then even Tempura with club soda in it.

I'm gonna buy his very griddle. I like the size and cheap enough with Ralph's 10% off...get that up in there!

Outstanding I am having a family reunion in Wilmington, North Carolina. I’m going to check these places out thank you.

I’m from the Chesapeake Bay Area and lots of people here eat those corners. I love fried soft shell crab. Nom nom

Hey! If you ever visit my home state VA, especially the Hampton Roads region, make sure to try a fried hard shell crab. They’re a very popular delicacy where I’m from. They just take the top shell off of the crabs and use a wet batter to coat the crabs.

Ive had them before in houston but I just placed a order of 15 they coming from south Carolina I'm over here in Brownsville Tx

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I’m buying some ss crabs today for some po boys!

I don’t think restaurants clean them this well, Sir, I’m inviting myself over to your place for some soft shell crabs. I’ll bring the beer. 🎉

Im from Pa near got Baltimore blood running through me, used to go have crab boils at our reunions had soft shell when i was in Wild Wood Nj delicous. Went to Mertyle beach had shrimp and grits and she crab soup Omg!!

Sir, When eating boiled Crabs we eat all of that yellow fat you're throwing away. And on the females I don't let a drop of the orange eggs get away. Why won't you fry that fat and eggs? Of course I'm born and raised in Algiers Louisiana.

Son I FW Ralph my dogg Know wtf He talking bout Yerrdme Real Good w the recipes

If You ever need some extra help making these videos, I can come down to the 9 th ward and perhaps play a taste tester! Lol Great looking crabs. Nice size.

Didn't know the blue crab process was so involved. Probably why we don't know about em in TX

Easy and simple video 👌🏻 good looking out my guy… I’m gonna try makin them SS crab .
