South Hood-South Sound TWO STEP (steamer clams, oysters, dig and cook) 

Right on, great Video! Cut myself shucking oysters for New Years and it got nasty! 3 mos later it finally healed and left a scar.

Those Steamers clams looked great, I think I'd sink in that mud though! 😆. Great video Blake.

Makes me kind a want to try clams, haha, I haven't ever really been a fan but they might be O.K.

Right on!! I thought my group were the only ones doing the "two step" - love being able to take home multiple species. Thanks for the tour of the scenery as well - I had no clue Johns Creek was so interesting... thanks for the great video as always 👍🏼

Dig and cook! That was a fun video

That was a sexy dance at the beginning in those cowboy boots! Haha 🤟🏻😆

Wunderbar! Actually, I was just at Eagle Creek, so you know what that means. Another great video!

I liked this episode so much that I’m now craving Clam Linguini!

Another fun and entertaining episode of WFQ. Again, as always, thanks for taking us along. Beautiful PNW day.

After steaming steamer clams I like to remove clams from shell and then put deshelled clams in the refrigerator for couple hours to chill them. I then mix Pride Of The Northwest batter mix with milk and coat the deshelled steamer clams in batter and fry about five at a time in half inch to an inch deep of olive oil in a small saucepan on medium heat until gold brown.

As I like to day, It isn't a real project until you bleed for it." In Oregon, there is no legal take of "wild" oysters. Our native oyster is endangered and anything that isn't the native is commercially grown. The only oyster I've had was a deep fried one and it was like eating hot snot. I still want to try a fresh one, though. Thanks for keeping in that camera fall. I got a good chuckle out of it. We've all been there, where we set something up to keep it out of the mud but the wind has different plans. Sorry I'm getting a bit wordy, but this episode was just so engaging. That South Sound Prairie looks a lot like Willamette Valley Oaken Savanna. We're in a similar situation where we have just tiny fractions of it as well.

I always thought it would be great to get a Canal open from Hood to South Sound. It would be an Epic camping trip.

Good thing you saved the camera. That looked like a $500 nose dive.

Such a good episode! We do this with razors since we live in Central washington. Razors then catch the hood canal tide for clams and oysters..makes for a long trip but its worth it!

Thanks Blake. I like the history you put into your video adventures. I have shirts like yours, too.

Thanks for the video.

Wonderful time! Thanks for this. As for the dancing, don't give up your day job. Or any job.

Sure made me hungry looking at those steamer's.

Looks good!

That does it, time to get my Washington fish license, I didn't even know there were places where you could harvest oysters still, I love raking up the clams in the mud flat, but the oyster sure look good especially fresh!

The mouth of John’s Creek is an excellent spot to fly fish for chum. Future episode?? 👀

Entertaining as always Blake, my wife has oyster bed battle scars, and my oldest daughter fell down into them our last trip and earned herself some scars. I've managed to avoid getting torn up, bit I'm sure it will happen soon enough.

4 prong wood rake from ace hardware is best rake to use for gathering steamer clams.

Idea for an episode: Box Crabs---- heard of 'em?
