  • We find hundreds of big clams in waist deep water in the Niantic River in Connecticut! We use a special clam rake to rake them out of the mud! I then meet you back in my kitchen in Florida to have a seafood boil! Where we cook up clams, lobsters, shrimp, and a bunch of other stuff! Easy and fun meal to have with family and friends!

    Raking is hard work. More fun in the summer to stomp the mud and pick them up when you feel one with your feet. Used to do that in Southern NJ.

I try to like most videos and if I forget I try to go back but hey if I miss some just know I wish I could like ALL of them . Kinda wish I would have found you guys sooner but hey glad I'm subscribed to you, Vik and fisher. All of you guys are just great and are just helping me get through alot. This is what I long for , just being out, educated and just create great experiences with family and friends and you guys are just that motivation. Thank you so much for these amazing videos.

  • @HughJazz69696
    @HughJazz69696 3 года назад +1

    The only easy way I have found to "bring my clams" with me after a vacation stay has been to steam them, then take the open mostly cooked clams and freeze them and use the broth you just steamed them in as the liquid. Make basically a clam ice block and you can bring your catch with you. But the down side is it limit what you can do with them later. We mostly eat them raw they day we catch them or make chowder if we cook them. Good video, really shows the workout that clamming is. Keep it up you two.

    I hope you and family try cooking up some of those large snails sometime as it's good bi-catch to make use of. You might get hooked. And with your ability to find, alter and create great recipes you'd hone in on a few ways to enjoy. Escargot with garlic cheese and more. My step dad was Scottish and loved to buy 'Winkles' from the market, cook a large batch then soak em in the brine in the fridge overnight. We would all have a bowl ful the next day and use sewing pins to remove the foot then remove the snail from the shell. It was alot of fun. I brought a container full to school for show and tell and handed everyone pins to try the snails. Everyone was properly grossed out, then ALL tried them and most enjoyed them. I miss those days.

    Hi Brook. It is so nice to watch you and your family enjoying clam for a dinner. I have been watching your and Victor's videos for quiet sometime now and i must say I enjoyed it very much. I am from the Philippines and i was watching you and your family eating the clams, etc on the table, i was reminded of the way we eat that way back here in the Philippines especially when we are with our friends or families. We call it a Booodle fight way of eating. We would cook variety of food and after which we will set it on top of the table and we all eat standing with our bare hands, and i guarantee we enjoyed it. 😊 You can watch thru the net and learn how it is prepsred. Enjoy❤

    This reminds me of being a kid having cook outs we would go a family friends and play while the adults would go catch dinner crabs shrimp clams fish crawfish and what not then at night have huge bond fires and cook up what ever they brought back it was a lot fun until they started trying to rope me into cooking all the side dishes with them in the house. I wanted to play like all my boy cousins.

Then this video with this river in Connecticut a place I have never heard of. I will be watching to see what becomes of this place in the future on the news. I will document this in my journal to note this entry. Enjoyed the video.

    @teamdilligafffishing4058 4 года назад

    Brooke love the videos you and Victor do. I have a suggestion for you try adding some eggs to your boil. I have been doing it for years and they are a suprising delicious addition to any boil up. I usually add them 10 to 15 minutes before the boil is done. They pick up some of the flavor of the spices in the water. Try it you might love it....we do! Thanks for the vid!

    • @brookcristoutdoors
      @brookcristoutdoors  4 года назад +1

      Ooo interesting addition!! I’d be afraid they’d break up, maybe I’d need a little more gentle of a boil

    • @teamdilligafffishing4058
      @teamdilligafffishing4058 4 года назад

      @@brookcristoutdoors you would be surprised. I usually add when I drop the sausage in and the boil slows for a few minutes. The shells do crack but the white of the egg has already begun to set at the point the boil returns. The cracking of the shell is what allows the egg to pick up seasoning from the boil water. I promise it is worth the effort in doing. I too was skeptical once... Good health to you Vic and your families. I think your dad is awesome!
