You got a wonderful family and a great thing going man and I hope to see y’all keep on climbing … much love and thanks for what you do bc it keeps me sane on work days when I’m not on the water or in the woods !! 🎣 🦌 ❤
Tater Tots All days All Ways !!! Fried shrimp. Fried flounder. Steamed oysters. Cod soup with crispy fried bacon with the trinity. Hush puppies. Cole slaw. Steamed mussels with garlic butter. Y'all get it when it comes to cooking seafood. Keep it Comin' !!! 😁
Saying hi from Rhode Island . I’m a commercial shellfisherman , great recipe for the stuffies . Tatar tots any time . I did get a pearl years ago ; my wife thought it a piece of shell . Still have it
I definitely don’t blame you on keeping your spot secret, we used to do this kind of stuff off Heckscher dr and Nassau Sound but a lot of people ruined it!
Man o man, clam and Oster village, how sweet it is. Your dam right Tug tater tots over fries any day of the week and the way you cook clams is right on. For 1 day I hope that I will be able to tell you all of days on the Chesapeake.
Hey Tug, family You guys had lot's of fun getting clams today. Hey tug was that not the grass bed over to the right.😂😂 Right Dan !!😂😂 All the way from Texas you know the spot. Ok! all the joking is done now. I really enjoy seeing the family together on your adventures ! Big family man myself. You know what's really good as well. You and Crystal works good in the kitchen together. Everything look good at the table !! Oh, Oh I like tots, but if sweet potatoes fires is there. I'll take sweet potatoes fires. Be Bless , and have a great afternoon watching some football.
Ian I must admit I'm a bit envious your backyard is a wonderland of seafood treats but grateful you share with us. P.S. I'm all about the "Smiley Fries" if you haven't had em they are amazing.
You can send them to my mom, ever time we visit our family in Gainesville she walks the beach and collects the shells. She has really big glass jars she puts them in for viewing. They're all on top of the cabinets in the kitchen👍
Great video! I've said it before but I really like regular people videos. People who have jobs but show us your recreation life. It gives hope that I can do this too. Lots of times I get wrapped up in my job and say I don't have time for my, or my family's interests because of work. Then I watch your videos and get inspired. Thanks.
Wow....looks like a ten out of ten!!!!!!! Nothing like a real family gathering....that's solid gold memories.....when y'all get old....your daughter will....probably share that with them.....passing great memories is the circle of life!!!!!! Thanks for keeping it real!!!!!
Great video Tug, Crystal & Bianca. Not sure if I’ve said before but congrats on the 30K. I did have a chuckle when Crystal hit the dock, but only on her reaction. Love digging for bar clams when I go back to PEI. That meal looked fantastic, great c&c. One thing, to help with your hands when doing the stuffies, try having a bowl of warm water to wet your hands before your start, the stuffies should stick less to your hands. Thanks for sharing!!!
Cheese tater tots all the way 😋 good job Ian, Crystal and B ! What a great haul of clams 🐚 Food looks delish also Chrystal, how much thyme does it take to make stuffin ? 🤣
First those look amazing. And I just have to share this. I'm watching the video and my cat keeps reaching for the screan like she wants to get your attention it. Was so cute
When Krystal bumps into the dock, I feel her pain 😆 And your pain. Something that would happen to Chad and I. She’s too funny though. Those clams looked delicious!
I've watched a few of your videos and now I'm hooked. I liked and subscribed. Your family concept is friendly and inviting. Please keep up the good work.
Those look amazing! Hubby has found his favorite seafood restaurant in the panhandle known for clam chowder and I have already been tasked with somehow getting and recreating the recipe! Oh…. And deep fried tots for the win any day over boring, standard fries. But you have to FRY them, none of that oven stuff! Thanks to you all for another great video❤
Great job on the video Tug. I'll take tots over fries any day because i like them crispy and crunchy. No biggie on the gel coat it can be replaced easier than the wife's feelings. Keep up the good work. Another tug boat video would be cool.
I love me some clams and that looked amazing, I just kept waiting for you to put some shredded parmesan cheese on top and put back in the oven for a couple seconds. Awesome video, keep up the good work.
Aloha Ian. Love the fact that Bianca seems to genuinely like these excursions. Wish my dad had time to do this with me. No hard feelings, had a roof over my head and food on the table. Just had to learn how to fish and dive on my own or from other people. Never got the opportunity to hunt. Was that a take on clams casino minus the Parmesan? Looked awesome!
Those clams look amazing bro , also it hurt my soul when she ran into that dock 😂 I build new construction fiberglass boats for a living the gelcoat gets sprayed pretty thick when they’re built in the mold. If it’s not gouged down to the glass u can sand it out with some 400 grit sand paper then some 800 grit and buff it out!
Another great video, I love seeing the different ways we harvest the same things. Up here in CT wade with a rake at low tide and dig for clams, neat to see the marshline harvest.
Had tater tots with dinner tonight. Much preferred over fries. Caught a few vermillion snapper when we were in Destin last week . Fried them up with some hush puppies and cole slaw. Yummy.
That looks and sounds delicious. I can even imagine a little Sesame oil added on top along with some red pepper ( Cajun Decent ) but you did use the trinity in the mix ! Another great video, thanks ! ! !
Damn Tug you always kill it bro! Looks like Florida really is outdoorsman's paradise (I'm jealous bro) damn I need to get out of California!! Good video as always brotha!!
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I say KUDOS to you guys for making more than fishing videos, Clammin, shrimpin, lobsterin, oysterin and crawdadin, some people want to find your spots, but I am happy to just see the techniques and the type of terrain to look for too do these activities, its also great things to do with family and friends, do you ever use fiddler crabs for bait, if so I would like to see how you collect them in an upcoming video.....thanks again.
I almost thought the very last thing would be freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and then you went with the melted butter, I'm curious what would that taste like
Im definitely a fan of the Tot. I dont know if it would "traditional", but i would have thrown some cheese on top of them bad boys so it would melt in the oven. Maybe some smoked Gouda, Monterey jack, or pepper jack. Those look so good though.
@TugTrashOutdoors No problem, love your channel. Keep up the great work. Crystal is a keeper, and I swear she sounds like and reminds me of my cousin's wife.
I was born in Jacksonville 67 years ago. It's my dream to move back there and eat dinner with you all and to hitch a ride on your tugboat to Cuba

Thank you dude!
"On average, the value of a clam pearl ranges from $300 to $1,500.depending o its quality." Interesting, and great clam bake. Thanks for sharing.
2 favorite lines from this video are "Slamming the clam" and "Nobody likes a sandy clam" LOL 😂😂😂
Haha! Glad I made you laugh
Thx
What you really forgot is to pray 🙏🏼 and we thank you is your knowledge and for the video thank you

Awesome! Clam fritters next please.
Tug, honestly, I love the larger ones for eating raw, I will take them hands down over the little necks or middle necks.
G'day mate, that is an awesome clam spot definitely don't blame you for keeping it a secret. That looks absolutely delicious. God bless you guys.🦘👍
Thanks 👍 Share with your friends
Ian I must admit I'm a bit envious your backyard is a wonderland of seafood treats but grateful you share with us. P.S. I'm all about the "Smiley Fries" if you haven't had em they are amazing.
Smiley Face Fries :)
I am glad that your clam stuffies are calm. Lol.
Me too!
You can send them to my mom, ever time we visit our family in Gainesville she walks the beach and collects the shells. She has really big glass jars she puts them in for viewing. They're all on top of the cabinets in the kitchen👍
Great video. Delicious looking recipe. Family fun with delicious reward, what could be better.
Excellent show as usual, you guys are very entertaining.
Thank you very much!
Your foraging videos are great Ian. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
I always enjoy your videos 👍🏾 I’m glad you make mid-week videos. I always learn an amazing recipe from your CCC.
Thanks so much
Haha first time like first time being first to watch video lol
I love your videos man just keep making them
Will do! Thank you
Awesome again
Thank you so much 😀
Love how excited Bea gets. This was a fun one!
She loves it!

That’s us!😁
Tater tots to me are just not natural , like instant mashed potatoes . I like crinkle cut fries or dinner fries , which are also called steak fries .
Looks amazing! Hi Tug, Krystal, & Bianca. Cool that you found pearls, not cool that you were eating them though.
Thank you
That sandy clam comment was hilarious😂
What do you mean? 😆
“Slammin the clam” should be on a T-shirt 🫡😂
Definitely
Wow....looks like a ten out of ten!!!!!!! Nothing like a real family gathering....that's solid gold memories.....when y'all get old....your daughter will....probably share that with them.....passing great memories is the circle of life!!!!!! Thanks for keeping it real!!!!!
You got that right!
Looks like a fun time on the water! 👏🏼 Yummy dinner too!
It was!
We're in awe at the large amount of oysters there... we'd be in heaven. Such a cool family ❤ I seen U from blue Gabe vids...but now I watch U more 😊
Thanks!
Great video Tug, Crystal & Bianca. Not sure if I’ve said before but congrats on the 30K. I did have a chuckle when Crystal hit the dock, but only on her reaction. Love digging for bar clams when I go back to PEI.

Yeah man trading paint with the dock. It happens. Thanks!!
Cheese tater tots all the way 😋 good job Ian, Crystal and B ! What a great haul of clams 🐚
Food looks delish also
Chrystal, how much thyme does it take to make stuffin ? 🤣
thanks! lol
First those look amazing. And I just have to share this. I'm watching the video and my cat keeps reaching for the screan like she wants to get your attention it. Was so cute

Cooking with clams now that dude is a good cook
Mayo works as a great binder, you do not need much, also adds a great flavor, and it is not a video until Crystal snorts..LOL!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Awesome video! A piece of advice I recently learned. “Don’t text and broil” lol😂
Love that! 🤣😂🤣
I'm cooking frozen battered fish in the air fryer right now LOL...I have a love hate relationship with you LOLOL!!!!
Hahaha I’m not above a fish stick!
LMAO!@@TugTrashOutdoors
Great job on the video Tug. I'll take tots over fries any day because i like them crispy and crunchy. No biggie on the gel coat it can be replaced easier than the wife's feelings. Keep up the good work. Another tug boat video would be cool.
She can actually drive the boat well. Every one rubs a dock eventually so I let it go. Tots 100%
Great video Tug. Family, never seen a clam video like this!
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh great, now we have another species to figure out. Thanks for the informative video.
Hahaha good luck!
Great thumbnail! Thats how you do it.
I try! Thank you
I love me some clams and that looked amazing, I just kept waiting for you to put some shredded parmesan cheese on top and put back in the oven for a couple seconds. Awesome video, keep up the good work.
You know I actually forgot that
This would be my seafood heaven
Great video out in God’s grocery store. Stuffies looked like they tasted awesome.
Aloha Ian. Love the fact that Bianca seems to genuinely like these excursions. Wish my dad had time to do this with me. No hard feelings, had a roof over my head and food on the table. Just had to learn how to fish and dive on my own or from other people. Never got the opportunity to hunt. Was that a take on clams casino minus the Parmesan? Looked awesome!
Very similar !
well done! been a long time since I've picked clams. Looks like I need to take the kids on an adventure!
Great time to have
Those clams look amazing bro , also it hurt my soul when she ran into that dock 😂 I build new construction fiberglass boats for a living the gelcoat gets sprayed pretty thick when they’re built in the mold. If it’s not gouged down to the glass u can sand it out with some 400 grit sand paper then some 800 grit and buff it out!
Yeah man it’s all good. I use my equipment pretty hard. It didn’t go down to glass
Another great video, I love seeing the different ways we harvest the same things. Up here in CT wade with a rake at low tide and dig for clams, neat to see the marshline harvest.
We also love Beaches! my wife and I will be down there in Vilano in just a couple weeks, that's one of our must-go spots when we visit.
Had tater tots with dinner tonight. Much preferred over fries. Caught a few vermillion snapper when we were in Destin last week . Fried them up with some hush puppies and cole slaw. Yummy.
Sounds great!
That looks and sounds delicious. I can even imagine a little Sesame oil added on top along with some red pepper ( Cajun Decent ) but you did use the trinity in the mix ! Another great video, thanks ! ! !
I’m wondering if I could do the same recipe with oysters!
Those stuffies look great! Pass the hot sauce!!
Yum!
Nice hat, nice bucket & during editing always check background!
If you know you know 🤷🏼♂️
We go to Beaches every night when we are in town!!
That wsa a cool video, I have never seen Stuffy's before or anything like it but it looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
It's so good!
Damn Tug you always kill it bro! Looks like Florida really is outdoorsman's paradise (I'm jealous bro) damn I need to get out of California!! Good video as always brotha!!
Please don’t tell anyone in California about Florida! We are full! Lol
Those look delicious!!!! I definitely have to make some stuffies! Thanks for sharing this!!
You should!
Fries for sure.
Up here in New England we use stuffing
Next time try a little sprinkle of parm on top before you put them in the oven. Make a nice crust. Great recipe
Great idea!
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I say KUDOS to you guys for making more than fishing videos, Clammin, shrimpin, lobsterin, oysterin and crawdadin, some people want to find your spots, but I am happy to just see the techniques and the type of terrain to look for too do these activities, its also great things to do with family and friends, do you ever use fiddler crabs for bait, if so I would like to see how you collect them in an upcoming video.....thanks again.
Thanks 👍
Before putting them in the oven drizzle a little olive oil on them and sprinkle with paprika
I almost thought the very last thing would be freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and then you went with the melted butter, I'm curious what would that taste like
Ian, that was a dork clam...lol!
The weather down there must be getting kind of CLAMMY ??? 😅 I like 'em, and I only got to see them !
🤣
Love clams
Another great video T.Trash and yeah I love tator tots! Take care see ya on the next one!
🙌🏽
Really enjoyed the video. Love your family. Watching you from Macclenny Fla. ❤❤
Thank you!! 😊
Great video! Those stuffies look awesome. And…tater tots rule!
Thank you
I would have had to bring some hotsauce & clam knife to shuck a few for sampling, lol.
Yes sir!
Looks yummy. Thanks for another great video
Thank you Troy
Don't have to worry about me getting into your spot. I live in North Texas.
I’m still watching you! Lol
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks as always Stan
I can't believe you didn't add some minced onion. Am I wrong...
Great recipe! Yum!
Thank you
Enjoyed as always
Thank you
Another great video! Great job!
