Catch, Dispatch, Cook, and Prepare SPIDER CRAB

Spider Crab are abundant in our waters and it’s a great pity that the majority caught are exported to Europe because if you like eating crab, and you know how to deal with them, they are good to eat.

In the video below, I catch a Spider Crab from the kayak using a collapsible pot, show how to dispatch the crab, and how to cook and prepare it. Some say all the meat of a Spider Crab is in the claws but in this video, I show that there is plenty of meat to be extracted from the body of the crab. The crab is served with a mustard dipping sauce from a simple recipe. Bon Appétit!

Kayak Fishing - This Trip Didn't Quite Go to Plan!

Sometimes when you go out to sea to do some kayak fishing with a plan of what to fish for the methods you want to use and the marks you want to fish it does not always go to plan particularly when it comes to safety and staying within your comfort zone.

The video below was one of those trips where the unexpected conditions meant I had to change the plan and make the most of what was available and where I could fish.
