Nice one smash! Cockles are such an underrated shell fish! A slosh of double cream , half a clive of garlic, parsley and black pepper to that sauce and add to pasta if you wanna make it a larger meal 👌 woooo
As you told us to discard any that failed to open as they might be a bit funny inside I was reminded of that old chestnut:- Two cannibals were eating a clown and one says to the other, does this taste funny to you?
Nice forage, lovely to see the baby flatfish whatever the species, great cook up (nice and simple). Do you think cockles would go well in a white wine & garlic sauce? Thanks for posting.
I enjoy watching your posts. I would love to do stuff like that, but I live I central Alaska. I'm hundreds of miles away from the ocean. Keep up the good work!
Love the ol cockle for ages! Do you suppose tourists driving by say "that poor man has to rake that whole beach by himself" and think thats your job to flatten the beach?🤣🤣🤣👍
i do love cockles and i am lucky to live 20 minutes away from the famous bury estuary famous for its cockles .. when we go after them i pig out for a couple of days ....
Well cool to see all the little flat fish. We don’t get them here. Have you noticed if your over 6 foot they never make tools for us tall lads.😂. Catch you on the next one 👍🇨🇦
What months are good for cockles? With mussels I know it's a month with an "r" in, so September to April, so is there a rule for cockles? Great video again.
Enjoyable video as always Smash who would have thought there would be all those baby fish were there is a chance of people walking when the tide is low as for the cockles think I will have to try them tight lines till the next one
You need to try Clams , Mussels or any shellfish with an Asian dressing. It'll take them to another level. Definitely worth a try. I'll send you a really simple and fantastic recipe to try..... sweet , sour , spicy , salty and savoury 😍 The 5 tastes of Asia.
Nice to see a video on the simple things available to you. Backbreaking looking for them though. Lovely cook up. I’m surprised that you didn’t take those baby flat fish home for your tank 🤣
You found a fish nursery. They likely spawn in that area on high tides. I would imagine outside of predatory worms, the little buggers are pretty safe there... at least until smash gets nosy and gets the old push net out. Interesting to see ! you may have also located a solid area to fish if you can figure out when they come in to spawn .
I was watching this when I realised that my cat, who was sat next to me, was watching, too, mesmerised by the sight of you raking through the sand for cockles!
Loved this forage! This is one of those videos that unfortunately tests my strong aversion to mouth sounds! I always have to stop the videos before the taste testing. Oh well!
your in whats known as the flatfish pool at amra by the look of things . Had brill turbert place and sole while diving further around from there so more then likely you have netted all of those
My grandad used to send me out "push netting" in "cooden' sussex way. little did i know i was feeding him dinner and i wasnt interested in eating the prawns. Canny ol bugger
HOW'S your back Smash? You need to think about avoiding/minimising the amount of bending/stooping/ & twisting you do. Watch some Manual Handling vids on YT. You only have 1 back, & you're a bit of a bean pole, rather fishing 🎣! Look after it. TASTY vid! INTERESTING cloud formation (3:05) on the mid-right; sort of anvil shaped. I shall check my Little Gem guidebook to weather. 🌫️
