Dude i really want to eat dungeness crab for ANY costs
Every time I’m having trouble sleeping, I pull up this video. Something about his voice is so soothing and knocks me out. I also watch the “mixing every cocktail” vid when even this vid can’t get me to sleep.
@epicurious you turned the blue crab into a red crab what do you need to say to yourself.
Large knife:LASER SWORD!!!
You the last hotel room I stayed in had crab shells EVERYWHERE!
Whats the reason for not eating the lungs ?
Did bro just circumcise that geoduck
Who is else is watching because they’re hungry?
I've had scissors like those for years not knowing they were shellfish scissors
aren't the "juices" in an oyster basically just seawater? because if so i'd drain it off, last time i had oysters i had to drain them off because the "juice" was effectively inedible
I love how I’m watching this video when I’m never gonna be able to eat any of those things
He is so passionate. This honestly looks like the type of guy that would have a SpongeBob tattoo😂😂
ปูแน่นำไปดูคนไทยแกะจะดีกว่า😅😅😅

What if you don't have a black light?
I’m watching this acting like I can eat shellfish (I’m allergic to it)
"I recommend almost all shellfish be eaten raw"
No thanks, I choose life.
