Hi, I live in the south of England not far from the sea, we go almost every Sunday to collect oysters at low tide. Ours are not so large, but there are an incredibly large number of them; in 10 minutes we collect 100-120 pieces. Bake in the oven with truffle oil and cheese!!!
This should go viral. Louisiana does have the best oysters. I had a dozen last Sunday from St. Bernard. You talked me into having another dozen tomorrow with this video.
My family owned a oyster business in Florissant / Hopedale for many many years. I spent many weekends and summers on the boat and in the shop shucking.
You are one blessed person to know someone to get those oysters,you get just what you need and are satisfied. Just great. When I was younger we would use oyster rakes.
I picked thousands of oysters when I lived in the parish,, I had a little 12 foot flatboat and we would stand on the reefs and pick them up... I was young and dumb and made around 40 bucks a day , working sun up till sundown harvesting them... we used big tongs with handles depending on how deep they were... when the tide came back up, we would go round and round with a dredge on top of the reefs...we were working leased ground for 4 dollars a sack,, the captain got 2 dollars, and each deckhand got 1 dollar a sack,, a good day was 30 or 40 sacks,, talk about earning your money,,, alot of times we made an oyster sauce picante and stayed on the boat, then worked the next day,, we did this up to 3 days straight,, some nights the mosquitos would eat us Alive...
Fascinating, makes me want to go oystering sooooo much. However, closest is down the Cape and this isn't the time to be going to Cape Cod. Touristsare everywhere....maybe in fall. I want to walk and pick clusters like you,,,then cook like you did, First I know I need a fire pit like yours....it's gorgeous. Your kids are cute ad you're a good dad because you includeand you teach..like a dad should.
Sitting here waiting for friends on the Salt River AZ to do a 10 mile sunset kayak river run..watching your videos..Getting in the zone! Good content right here.
In Terrebonne parish my Dad and i and my younger brother would work the clam shell banks of pipelines for oysters. Dad would do the shucking. We would not stop until we had five gallons of oysters. Some of my friends and cousins would use tongs and sell the sacks, This was in the sixties and they made good money but worked very hard.
Fond memories of my time in Lake Charles back in the late 80's. I lived on Grand Lake and the oysters grew in massive columns. We would go out with a pair of ice block tongs and drag them to shore. Good eating!
Congrats on 90K subscribers. Man I remember going to visit my Grandparents up in Mandeville bank in the 60s when almost all the sidestreets were made out of Oyster shells.
Love them oysters, I found a spot up here to get them just need to check it out and see what I need to get them. Do you know where I can get some tongs, the long handle ones? Great video, keep up the hard work it looks to be paying off with over 90K subs., Grats man you deserve it.

Unfortunately I got a bad oyster in a cluster on the grill ,I was so sick🥵,up and out for days I never ate ! another! Now I know why ,thanks for the info👍. Enjoy all you want,I'll pass🥴. JO JO IN VT 💞
Hard work, but I'm in love with those big Gulf Oysters! Looking forward to NOLA in March .(Nothing wrong with our east coast small ones, but these are wonderful) Just a question to those in the know. Do the ones that you hack off survive and grow? I presume and hope so.
Can't you use your dip net to dredge the bottom and pull more up at a time and then sort? I didn't know if there is a law that says no to that. It would just be easier, if allowed! lol
I love some fresh oysters, we have a swamp supper we have every year in Luverne Alabama, its for men and boys only ,good gospel music and a good speaker, and plenty of good food, alligator, oysters, deer,duck,doves,etc your welcome to come, its February the 29th starts around 9am come join us ,all it takes is one time, and you will return every year
Do folks around there have a preferred hot sauce for oysters? I lean towards Cholula in, chili garlic. That Go Devil boat is such a ridiculously versatile platform. Crabbing, shrimping, casting a net for baitfish, fishing, oyster hunting, hunting ducks, hunting hogs, hunting marsh rabbits, nutria, frogging, catching crawdads and observing wildlife. Those are just the activities I’ve seen on your channel. I can’t think of one activity, in that zip code, that a person wouldn’t benefit from that capable machine. It’s a good color, too. You don’t have to fret about getting it dirty. Just hose it off. Sweet setup.
@@nicolalagonigro1155 I wasn’t familiar with the Crystal brand. I looked them up. Those are busy folks. They make a huge selection of sauces that look pretty legitimate. I’m going to order one or two and give them a spin. Thanks for the reply. 😊
I live in Florida. At low tide you can walk around on the oyster beds. You can catch crabs for bait. I’ve never harvested the oysters. But the beds are everywhere.
We have a established oyster beds for the commercial market but they are in deeper water. I didn’t see any in the shallows that’s why I grabbed the ones I saw across the flat
Here there are piles that stick out the water. You can hit them with your boat if you aren’t careful and scratch up the bottom or ruin your lower unit if you have an outboard and not a mud motor. It’s like that everywhere. I can’t believe y’all don’t have that there.
