So happy I got to be there to eat the treasures of your hunt!!! Watching this I can smell and taste it all over again😊 Very interesting watching you farm for them too! You guys are the absolute cutest❤️
Heading to Oregon this weekend from Colorado springs. Hope to catch a bunch of clams and crabs! You guys are great!!! Very informative! Hope to meet you at 11 mile sometime!
We’ll be at 11 mile a lot this winter ice fishing for sure. We had a great time in Oregon. We haven’t posted the crabbing video yet, but we were able to grab them by hand while free diving. Never had to set a trap. Have fun and enjoy your bounty! Can’t beat fresh caught seafood. And, the coast of Oregon is so beautiful. Sure you’ll have a blast!
Thanks! We would rather not disclose the location as to not over pressure the resources. Hope you understand. It is a small area and cockles could easily be over harvested.
We would rather not disclose publicly the exact location since it is a small area that could really suffer if a lot of people start going there. Hope you understand.
@Terry McDonald Waldport, Oregon. It's not that big a deal. I live 20 minutes from there. The central coast is constantly packed with tourists that come out to do this. No point in trying to keep it a "secret" 🙄 he literally had a local fishing guide in his back pocket that gives all these locations away...
@@anthonylatour9983 If a 1000 people go there because of the video and they each get a limit of 20, that’s 20000 cockles for a pretty small area. Not great! That booklet in my pocket were the regulations, not the local guide. We found the spot by luck. 🍀
Please stop digging in eel grass. It is extremely destructive to critical juvenile salmon habitat. It's not a coincidence you are finding a lot of cockles there. Ethical shellfish anglers know to not dig there!
I’m from New England so our clams are different than yours. I’m wondering if you could shuck those cockles live instead of steaming them open. That way you could reserve the natural fresh clam juice. Another idea you might want to try is clam pizza. Basically it’s just exactly how you made the linguine and clam but on pizza dough. Just maybe add a little bacon. Im a new subscriber😊
You’re making us hungry with your clam pizza idea. Sounds yummy! Don’t be surprised if we use that idea on a future clamming episode. Thanks for subscribing!
As you figured out, the outside getting darker is no big deal. Probably there was some organic residue that got darker with cooking. If you clean them better with a brush before cooking that would solve the problem. I doubt that the actual shell changed color. Hope you enjoyed your cockles, because we sure did. 🤤
@@CatchNDinner Thanks! We live in Eugene and want to try our hands at cockle clamming. Was there a specific beach that you clammed? Looks like a lot of eel grass there. I know the cockles like that type of environment.
wow i mighta seen you there! i went to netarts bay the same weekend, not sure where you were. ive been looking for healthier recipes for cockles, ive only made clam chowder over and over!
Thanks so much!!! Aloha and Mahalo to you too! We had a wonderful time spearfishing and hunting in Kauai just before we started our channel. Wish we had started sooner!! We are assuming you are from Hawaii? If so, which island?
Mrine Corp injuries have gotten to me and walking very far or working hard have went away I fear. Where was that lovely flat? Hated to see folks injur a too small razor clam and throw it way; the fines are huge for small ones is why I guess.
Not sure why they left it behind. You are supposed to keep all gaper clams that you dig up regardless of their condition, up to the daily limit of course. Once their shell is broken, they will not survive.
I am going to bring my wetsuit and snorkel gear next time so I can go deeper and see better. You are right. We saw nicer ones the further out we went, and like you said they were easier to see them. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing. In the video the person dug deep with the rake which would definitely damage the eel grass. We used the rake to gently move the eel grass around to expose the cockles. We were careful not to go deep with the rake. Next time we will stay off the eel grass. As the person in the video explained, there are plenty of cockles in areas that don’t have eel grass. Thanks for the friendly reminder.
I just came across you twos Chanel about 1 hour ago ... im very impressed..
Awesome! Thank you. 😊
Yum!! WONDERFUL forage & eats!! Just a suggestion, use the back of your knife to scrape your shallots & garlic-prevents dulling your knife ❤
Thank you for the nice comment and suggestion. We appreciate it! 😊
That looked better than anything I've ever seen at a seafood restaurant.
Thanks! It definitely was quite a special meal. 🙂
So happy I got to be there to eat the treasures of your hunt!!! Watching this I can smell and taste it all over again😊 Very interesting watching you farm for them too! You guys are the absolute cutest❤️
Yes, us too! Made it extra special getting to share it with you! 😘
We were just at this exact spot and i swear we just saw you guys!
Too funny. Definitely not us. We are scouting for elk in WY. Enjoy your harvest. 😋

Did you have fun in Oregon and did you catch your clams and crabs?
I didn't see the dig once maybe move it aside but he even says that watching for spitters is easier than ranking 🤦
Great content, what beach were you on for the cockle video?
Thanks! We would rather not disclose the location as to not over pressure the resources. Hope you understand. It is a small area and cockles could easily be over harvested.
Thank you! Very interesting
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!!!
Wow, is this Garibaldi bay?
No, it isn’t. We were a bit further South.
Sure wish my 77 yr old back would let me out there; had a ball when I got to travel 150+ miles to go clamming years ago.
Yeah, clamming is definitely a hoot. Glad that you were able to join us on our clamming adventure. Thanks for watching!
Looked like fun ~ and definitely delicious
Sure was 😋
I usually clam at a different spot on the Oregon coast, where was this at?
We purposely leave out the exact location when we post publicly as to not put too much pressure on one small area. Hope you understand.
Where did you dig? I’m currently in Newport and can’t find the bridge in the video lol.
Sorry for the late reply. Without giving you exact GPS location, it was just a short drive from Newport.
Hope you managed to find some cockles. They are all over the Newport area.
This was a excellent video, well done, but the question I have is where did you get the claim juice, from the cooking or from the store
We actually bought the clam juice at the store. Sorry if it wasn't clear in the video.
What was your location? Excellent video with a dinner preparation to follow.
We would rather not disclose publicly the exact location since it is a small area that could really suffer if a lot of people start going there. Hope you understand.
@@CatchNDinner I fully understand. Glad you got some nice clams. Keep up the good work on the videos. I have my secret locations too.

Thanks for sharing. We used a rake to move some of the eel grass. We did not dig. All the people around us were digging for gapers.
Broke my heart when he separated the two crabs clutching each other. 😢
Are these clame the kind of clams that have peals?
@@phyllisgast8357 clams don’t have pearls I think oysters do
Bivalves I love them and the wine broth they come in.
You are right about that. Can’t go wrong mixing mollusks and a good white wine broth. 😋

hey some of them turn dark is that ok to eat?
Are you talking about the meat or the shell?
@@CatchNDinner oh excuse me, I mean shell
@@CatchNDinner and I already ate them I’m still alive just would like to know why haha

Where did you dig the clams? Looks like Newport area?
Yes, it was around the Newport area.

@@CatchNDinner I totally understand! I think I know where you went. Thanks again.
@@barry1170 You’re welcome. Good luck and have fun!
But they are in love! Still going to taste good! 😂 That looks delicious! Great video
Thank you! We appreciate it.
Yummmm 😊thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Hope you get to try it someday. 😋
wow i mighta seen you there! i went to netarts bay the same weekend, not sure where you were. ive been looking for healthier recipes for cockles, ive only made clam chowder over and over!
We were quite a bit South of where you were. Don’t know how much healthier our recipe was but it sure was delicious. 😋
How many minutes in the boil?
After 3-4 minutes they should start opening. Some will take a bit longer but if some haven’t opened after 10 minutes you should discard them.
Do not boil, about an inch or 2 in a pot and stream them open then into cold water to stop the cooking. Been doing it for 20 plus years always good.
So good. Great job.
Thanks Steve!
That is amazing stuff!! Super jealous!!!
Thanks Jason! 🙂
Liked and subscribed 👍Aloha and Mahalo 🌺🤙🌺
Thanks so much!!! Aloha and Mahalo to you too! We had a wonderful time spearfishing and hunting in Kauai just before we started our channel. Wish we had started sooner!! We are assuming you are from Hawaii? If so, which island?
Im on kauai poipu area🤙@@CatchNDinner
@@hawnjoe925 So jealous!!!! We love it there and hope to get to visit again in the near future!!!

Where in the Oregon coast was this?
Near Newport.
What a fresh and delicious seafood....enjoy bro with your family dinner😃
Can’t beat fresh seafood. 😊
Man brother that looks big.never tried them.
Thanks Joe!
May I ask where is the bay you went?!
Newport area. Hope that helps.
is this waldport??
We would rather not disclose the exact location as to not put too much pressure on the area. Hope you understand. Happy New Year!
@@CatchNDinner it’s not that I would go there every time I crab, just looking for more places. It’s just crab.
I'm drooling 🤤
Wish you could have tasted it. It was heavenly!
@@CatchNDinner I wish I could have also!🤤
Just go further out and walk in the water, that way you can see I. Between the eel grass to expose the cockles
I am going to bring my wetsuit and snorkel gear next time so I can go deeper and see better. You are right. We saw nicer ones the further out we went, and like you said they were easier to see them. Thanks for the tip!
En qué parte de Oregon
Newport area.
Where is this at? 2
Newport area.
nice!!!
Thanks!
Hmmm... Yummy.... 😋
Thanks! Fresh is best. 😋
The only thing missing is the Parmigiano
We usually put Parmesan cheese on everything, but this dish was fantastic even without it.
@@CatchNDinner no doubt fresh seafood that you Harvest your self is to die for
Waaaaa! I feel sooooo deprived of that heavenly food.
Sorry to hear that. Can’t beat fresh seafood. That’s for sure! 😋
A filter feeder is not going to eat an eel. Little guy got trapped.
Definitely. That eel peaked its head in the wrong hole.
ODFW says do not rake in eel grass beds. Learn the proper technique :ruclips.net/video/Yan8F3Wzeic/видео.html

This makes me home sick for Oregon i grew up on the coast and miss all it has to offer
We can definitely see why. The Oregon Coast is quite a magical place.
We were just talking about planning another trip to the Oregon coast since we also miss it. What part of Oregon are you from?
@@CatchNDinner I'm from florence right on the coast about an hrs west of euegene
@@dwaynewallace306 We drove through Florence on our way to Coos Bay. It sure was a beautiful area. It must have been a great place to grow up.
Ade ed eso digame porfa
What language? Having trouble translating this to English!
Es en Waldport
It’s a scallop
They sure do resemble bay scallops because of the ridges, but they are classified to be in the hard shell clam family.
You are not allowed to disturb eel grass
Thanks for the info!
I’d never take that crab😢
Boo leave mating crabs alone!
Thanks for the suggestion.
For god's sake just Stop these nonsense. Let them live.
Humans have been living off these and other shellfish for a long time. I doubt it’s about to change.
@@CatchNDinner Not like that. It will extinct after certain period whether we catch it continuously.
33 minutes of my life wasted
Why didn't you click out after 3 minutes? You could have saved at least a half hour of your life!!
