Craig is my dad. He been doing this his whole life, these are the things my childhood was full of. I have children of my own now who love the beach and now after seeing this video want dadcu (granddad) to take them.
When i was young I discover a secret spot that had lots of crabs, fish, shrimp and clams. A few months after going there someone purchase the lot and make it into a loading lot for cargo boats and my spot was gone but those memories still live in my mind. I still remember filling 2, 5-gallon buckets of fish, crab, shrimp and clams in less than 1 hour and having a seafood feast for my family later that evening.
I def would not be using that "broth." Maybe just maybe if the seafood was clean thourougly with clean water. Most of those things are bottom dwellers. Roaches of the sea.
With all that free food and the world still believe that there is no God😔? Thank you Father for the sea and land that provides food for your people. Awesome video, Love from New Zealand 💖
Manny ...you are my soul mate ...I used to go to a place in Northern Ontario with my late father...I was a kid an d I called it our exploring place. I used to find 🦀 crabs, frogs 🐸, tadpoles, snakes 🐍 and turtles 🐢! I threw nth Dads ashes into those rapids six yrs ago....rest in peace, Dad....you’re my rock...
I would give Anything just to spend a day with you guys! I literally Love Every video you make and a day we'll spent that could never get old with me...... Thank you for all the Amazing Videos and the education they bring to us....... God Love ya God Bless ya
Dana Commesso ya that pissed me off. Why did he have to tear it apart. They also just toss things back instead of putting them back where they found them when they weren't eating it.
Brings back memories of clamming on the mud flats of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia when I was a kid. We soaked them overnight so they would expel the grit.
So lucky to live near such a wonderful place. I've seen your video on the house you built. Always been my dream to do that...buying my own land. I envy you.
I remember being on holiday in either cornwall or wales and we saw these jets of water squirting out of the sand, we investigated and found cockles! took no more than we needed back to the caravan and cooked them up with some white wine, garlic and onion. good times 😊.
that was great! the net time I'm at the beach I'm gonna try and find some of those animals and plants. i didn't know you could find all that. thanks for sharing.
Where in Wales are you? I have always had a fascination with foraging. There is so much we can supplement our daily meals with. I love the trick with the razor shells.
I enjoyed watching your videos with Mr Evans! And I am so happy to hear that he would be conducting courses soon, he would be fantastic teacher! I just have to find out how to get to him. (I live halfway across the globe in South East Asia) :)
just some tips. when you cook cockles, put them in a boiling water with a little salt and vinegar for only 30 seconds. trust me you will have a super juicy and crunchy cockles.
Like I'm sitting here complaining to my fiancé about how much I wish this guy was my grandfather 👴 and how I wish I was invited on this feast. I'm soooo peanut butter and jelly sandwich right now...... 😂😂👍🏼👏🏼
Mmmm. Wild veggies. And if you are willing to get a bit wet, there are plenty of sources of proteins on seashore. Such a productive, beautiful area :) Please - never let industry and big scale tourism destroy it. It would be irreapairable loss.
We boil those shell fish in 7up or Sptite it gives a nice sweet taste to those clams and crabs as well you should try it thsnks for sharing your video 👍
Great video. I just came across your videos. This is the second video I have watched so far. Great job guys, keep the videos coming. Thank you for sharing 🙃🙂🙃
I love this video! Even if the shells i can find here in the freesing could Baltic sea is smaller then a fingernail and probably not edible, even the starfishes will freese away during the winter season here, but i hawe not tried those small clams yet... But i made a soup of ants and some leaves, it was at least as good as anytinhg from the supermaket.
Great videos mate, I have just subscribed. I really enjoy your approach to this subject, no nonsense, light hearted and you my friend are a natural teacher who can easily capture your audience from start to finish. Greetings from Australia.👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Have to ask since the shell fish you picked are bottom feeders what of the stuff they've eaten? What about having a sewage outlet around the coast ? Do any of the shellfish eat in those areas? As a kid I was always told..."DON'T eat the beards of the mussels " ?? Where did that come from ?
The 'beards' or Byssal threads are what the mussel uses to anchor itself to the substrate. They are not poisonous or harmful in anyway, but not particularly pleasant to eat. With shop bought mussels the byssal threads will have been mostly removed by the fishmonger or the farmer (most shop bought mussels are farmed these days) so they may not be present. As for what they eat, depends, most things you can get rid of simply by soaking the mussels or other shellfish in water for an hour or so before cooking. That will flush out most things. In fact it is advisable to do exactly that with many filter feeders such as clams, as they actually ingest some of the substrate, biting into a moutful of sand is a good way to ruin your clam chowder! If in doubt, soak them.
