Catch & Cook : Butter Clams in Washington 

When we get fresh clam in the Philippines, my mom let the clam soak in salt water. So that the clams will spit out the sand inside of them. So that when you eat ,your not eating the sand too.

When I lived for a while in the Dominican Republic I remember spending a Saturday on some long empty beach near the border with Haiti and these local guys I came across who were so welcoming - we dug up clams, caught crabs and finally some kind of perch caught in a small river in these woven cane cages they had - and then later in the day everything was boiled up in a big cauldron they had brought with rice boiled in another pot. They added the juice of wild limes, some local herbs and salt they brought. I produced a big bottle of Brugal rum which I had in the car and the mood was perfect. One guy invited me to spend the night with his family in their very simple banana leaf and coconut leaf thatched hut in their little hamlet. I had brought my tent but they wouldn't hear of it. The next day I drove back to Santo Domingo and my high pressured job thinking 'that day, and that food and those simple good people who were so kind to an utter stranger, this, this I will never forget".

Dude this guy is living the best life....I’m inspired to be like this!

nice shovel ;) no worries she'll sharpen back up easy with a file . I dont bother with sharpening the bottom very often any way just the side I use for cutting

Pretty flower, gorgeous scenery, looks tasty, nice blue shirt. Looked like the perfect day. Thanks for sharing.

I still come back and watch this video after a year, love the catch and cook videos!

I love the way how you appreciate the simple meal you’ve got there 👌

That sound saved my butt a few times. Love that sound buddy!

Grab a Jetboil (the pot I cooked in) used in the video, they're amazing! : amzn.to/2WnmS1B

I taught my dog how too dig em up for me. did a great job. My dog and i ate a bunch for lunch butter and garlic was great. I use to just head out to the parks and tie up on the bouy's then row too shore and let my dog sniff em out. then i would help by digging them up..

mmm that looked good !

Nom nom...perfection. What a great day...nature! Thanks for sharing a slice of awesomeness with us, Jimmy. 👍💕👍

If i was not eating dinner while i watched this, i would have surely died from hunger because that looked so good.

Wow. I'm hungry for clam! That's amazing where they live. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I know how hard you work at the filming. You deserve a lot more viewers. You definitely put your work in. Well done.

You might not have had your fill, but think how happy you made those two gentlemen. You are the winner here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stunning scenery, very picturesque. Looks like a great place to live and chill out 🤓

I love your videos man!! I don’t even do “outdoorsy” activity’s such as this. But watching your videos makes me want too.

Looks like a beautiful day to cook on the beach! Looks like fun

mmmm the best way to do it! catch and cook right there on the water...nothing beats getting your hands dirty and rummaging around the mud for clams lol

Darn it! I didn't get to experience clamming while living in Seattle. Thanks for sharing vids like these Jimmy. Outdoor activity in Washington is awesome indeed. Used to live by Seward Park and those Blue Angels used literally to pass over our head every 10 minutes on summer.

Fun sweet little video, thank you from the Olympic Peninsula!

Bro i just found this channel of yours and i'm loving it! much love from the Philippines :)

Wow that was AMAZING! Moving out to Vancouver Island in August and I love love love shellfish. Will be so much fun and BETTER catching and cooking on the shore. ❤ This video rocked thank you!

Just did this out on Whidbey, but took along water, instant dashi, miso, tofu in a baggie, pre-sliced green onions & seaweed to throw in with fresh clams. Also yummy. Beer is good as a drink, or you can cook clams in beer which is tasty for a chg.

So relaxing...Totally enjoyed this video.

These are some of my favorite videos of yours. ♥️

Looked so relaxing. Awesome videos man.

Some lightly toasted rustic bread dipped in the broth would be amazing, you should try it sometime.

Looks good, lots of good eats out in the wild & the best thing is you know where it came from. Unlike the stuff in the grocery store

Grab ya some French bread next time to sop up that juice!

If you set the live clams in clear salt water, right out of the bay, they will relax and pump a lot of the sand out of their interiors.

Great video! Would love to see more - need more catch & cook washingtonians!

Just made a bunch of butter clams with this recipe...sooooo delicious! Great vid

How is it possible that those clams are just sitting in one spot?! I'm just amazed!!

I've been gone from the west coast 4 many years but heading back soon I can't wait to get my fill

bro, you've like missed a bunch of them, tossing them away like they are rocks. It's sooooo funny

I've never eat a clam or an oyster but I may try it now. You sure made it look good and simple to prepare!

Awesome can't wait to try someday

A nice end to clam season. You're gonna miss this when you move buddy!

Excellent video!Thank you for sharing.

So lucky that you have a place thats abundant of clams❤

thank you for sharing how to cook them Jimmy. Cheers.

These videos always make me hungry.

Great videos!! That looks sooo delicious! I'm half vietnamese and seafood is divine!! Lucky you.

First time watching your channel as you caught my eye as it looked like Whidbey Island. Thanks for filling in your clam hole. You look like you are a good cook and it makes me want to get one of those cookers. I am a new subscriber now. Thanks for your hard work.

Love this video away from the coop doing your own thing also they look amazing good for you Jimmy

Does look good.Had my mouth watering.

I love your nature videos! Keep them coming brotha

WOW 😳😳😳...the way you eat is ohhhh so sounds delicious...I'm living in Hillsboro, I'm far from the sea...by just watching your video made me feel to go to the shore and find some clams and cook it...your new subscriber here from Tagaytay City Cavite, Philippines.

Thats a lot in one spot.. 😊

Fantastic video. Make more!!

Oh my G! I find you.. your like my fave channel now

Ok, you made me bite my monitor, but it tasted great. I was stationed at Whidbey Is from 1970 to 1975 and loved fishing near Deception Pass. This video brought me back. Thanks.

Yumm😋😋I'm coming to dig those clams😁..

Such a beautiful place and great video! Looks yummy tho 👍🏻

I will miss these videos...hope it's not your last.

Terrific video. Very relaxed, yet informative. I envy you!

Well... I’m hungry now.😂 That scenery is amazing.

I just moved back to Birch Bay/Blaine in Washington a week ago. Been away for two years, and can't wait to harvest some fresh clams. (New England) Clam chowder is my favorite. I'll make a huge pot of it, and share it with all my neighbors. Can't wait. Happy to be back next to the water. I missed the salt water smell in the air. Sadly, the cottonwood blooms are killing me right now. Keep up the great vids. -Trystian

Round 2 = success!! 😂 looked amazing man

Really enjoyed this! Thank you!!

You should try eating it just like that . Rinse them with fresh water then open them up and squeeze some lemon that's it delicious

Awesome...looked pretty good..just need the bread to dip in the sauce..🤤

Really enjoy your video. Hello or Howdy from Texas! 😉👍

Amazing!! This was an awesome video!!

You should do a local food video everywhere you go! Never had clams but now I gotta get something to eat, you’ve made me hungry! 🦞🦀🐟👍🏻

I just ate dinner, and now I want clams. Thanks!!!

I grew up there and yes....yes...they taste THAT good!!!

If you want to purge, you have to soak them for 20 minutes in fresh water. Those clams look delicious!

I wish I'm there wd you...love clams...or any seafood...

I wonder if after you're done eating if you can crush those shells up and toss em in a shrimp tank to raise the calcium levels.

Looked like a great time 👍

I have never tried clams.......this made me want to dig a hole find some and make them 😂😂😂

Once again a great video

My mouth is watering!

Amazing video, Jimmy. Now I want clams!

Nice video mate, really made my day.

Awesome content. I love doing this and i love bushcraft. You make that look so tasty. And you are really funny. I like your humor. Great video. I had to sub. I live in moss landing ca so this is pretty much my life. And you were so cute when you said "i feel so protected" and you said "this is all i found" hilarious

The 3 In -1 coffee is such a good tip! It’s delish- don’t underestimate it because it’s instant.

Dude you need to make more catch and cook ! Thanks Swhiskey!! Stay Safe Stay Vigilant On3

Butter clams are awesome, so is the clam nectar......

Great video! Missing the french bread to sop up all of that good sauce!
