I originally watched your blog because of your surfperch fishing, but now I really enjoy how you expanded your blogs to different types of fishing, including clamming. Keep it up PK! Good stuff
Thanks for another well made video. I went to Seaside one time and the sand was like glass. We couldn't detect a thing. This young 10 year old boy would run around and spot a clam every couple minutes for his dad. He was seeing something we definitely didn't. He was like a magician.
I did the same thing. Then I learned a neat trick, and I have done better then many a clammer many times. I love helping find clams for other people now to when I limit. Can't dig em for them of course, but you can find holes. Part of the fun is the hunt
Thank you. I feel very fortunate about what I do, clamming is quite peaceful and relaxing. The best part is being able to share my hobby with the world. Take care
Nice video! Razors are soooo yummy! I'm from Southern Oregon but have only caught razors in Alaska. We mostly go for gapers and cockles here on the south coast. A couple suggestions: 1) Clams toughen as you cook them, eventually getting the texture of a rubber band. Typically you only want to cook around 90 seconds per side to get a nice tender clam. 2) Use unsalted butter to reduce the saltiness.
@@HeartMemory93 Sure, it's so people don't trade-up or throw back small or broken clams in the sand to die. www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/regulations.asp
This is the second one of your videos I have watched. Many of us pass up a chance to catch fish or seafood because we don't know what is or isn't safe to eat or how to prepare it and what parts to avoid. Hats off to you for cleaning and cooking it right on the beach or in the parking lot so we can learn. Having not grown up in the area we would not know otherwise. Thanks..
I love razor clams. I think they are the most tender tastiest clams. Got to dig for them when I was a student at Humboldt State. Got to taste clam chowder made with razor clams That was out of this world.
for a camping trip, I just pre-mix some panko with four in the bag I will shake the fish, clams, rabbit, quail, deer liver or whatever in and then you can season or salt it to preference...without the unpronounceable ingredients you get in some of those mixes. Great vid, its always fun to see your take on all the activities that I also do.
2018 and it just came up on my puter? Clamming was a big family thing when I was a kid growing up in Washington. My grandparents, my folks and even my older sister. That was in the 50s and what we called a clam gun was a long thin tapered shovel and you found the hold and dug like hell! As you were digging so was the clam! Dang I miss those times!
Another great video my friend. You have a lot of knowledge and it is very nice of you to share it with us on these videos. Thanks for what you do. Take care and enjoy the outdoors.
This was calm and satisfying. I wish I was out there with you, buddy! A little elbow grease to earn that great lunch! I’ll bring the beer and Pepsi. Man, I can’t begin imagine! Digging up your own clams, cooking eating and enjoying a great meal by the sea. Great stuff!
Man, you know how to have a good time. Only thing that would make it better would be beer, and camping nearby. Thanks for the knowledge, keep it up. Tight lines!
I don’t eat sea food because it grosses me out but the way you did this is really making me want to go get some and cook it how you did, those look absolutely amazing🤤🤤
Man, that looks good! Nothing like fresh seafood. Wish we had the variety in AZ that you have. Lol. Love your catch and cook videos. Thanks for sharing. Tight lines!
Up here in oregon for work but live in AZ, i cant eat enough seafood haha probably spent wayy to much money on it honestly but its so awesome going to fresh seafood markets and picking what ya want
PK, I am looking forward to meeting you when things are better. I have one more operation to go thru and then off to Oregon for a month of crabbing, clamming and fishing around Florence. Will let you know when so maybe you can come over and we can meet. Really enjoy your videos on how to.
Once August arrives, crabbing will get a lot better. If the time allows, we can definitely go crabbing. Good luck to your procedure and quick recovery. Tight lines.
Informative video. Thanks ! In some beaches in England, the tide can come in quite fast and high. It can be deadly if FOG descends at the same time. You don't know where to turn to run for the shore.
PK; this is extra entertaining with the Micky Mouse voice, funny. Oh, just a little bit of butter, then he throws in the whole quarter. I'd try some panko bread crumbs with some tarter sauce. Sure looks good.
Hey PK Yi, well I went fishing today April 28th at my favorite lake. I used the same rod you use for surf fishing. And I caught a trout a big one, female, and tagged, but since it was a clean hook up, using a circle hook, I let her go so she can make little fish. Any ways, Tight lines.
@@marked4death076 not with razor clams. You blanch them to open them, then use scissors to cut the guts out, then you basically butterfly the neck and digger.
Hey PK, nice to see another upload. We love your videos. We’ve been talking about going after razors as well. Definitely need to look into the vented tubes though, looks like the way to go for saving your back.
In Yachats there is a restaurant called The Driftwood Inn, and they make absolutely great razor clams. And their Rubbery Shrubbery salad is delicious as well.

Razor clams are currently in quarantine in California. Not in Oregon? Lucky for you guys! The California Department of Public Health has warned recreational harvesters for the past couple of years that Domoic Acid levels were too high here in Northern CA for them to be a safe harvest. Otherwise I would be all over them :) Nice Video!
No problem, I was just stating that they are present in CA but the Department of Health suggest you do not take them most years as they are toxic from filter feeding on naturally toxic plankton. looks like OR does not have so many issues?
Google it. No one has ever died from red tide poisoning in Cali. I believe this is an attempt to discourage recreational fishing and not the first. Red tides dont effect large stretches of beach. When they happen there very limited so closing the season because of a claimed generalised high reading doesnt make sense.
I have cooked a lot of razor clams, and if you cook them for 4 minutes on a side you're going to end up with some very chewy clams.one and a half min's per side max. Try eggwash dip the clams into some crushed club crackers, tender pieces of heaven.
Never been a fan of razor clams, always found them a tad too fishy to stomach. But this looked extremely fun! Always went looking for clams with my father, but that was on a Pacific island with warm sea and sun.
Eastern razor clams are shaped almost like a foldout razor, hence the name. Pacific razors are much hulkier, resemble less of a razor. Reason they are still called a razor clam here is because the shells are extremely thin and when you break em, they can cut you like a blade. I've had my share. Feels great, actually. Like bloody music. Seriously though, get some sand in a cut. Hoo boy...you feel it fo sho
Very nice and mouth watering it looks delicious with butter ybe. Fisherman's life use to tell us the limits and dose that need a fishing license or not. So how men by is your limit on razor clams

As a peskatarian and an Oregonian, your videos are so helpful!
Try slightly angling your clam gun towards the surf. You tend to crush the shells of the clams more if it strictly up with no angle.
3:30. You have to keep each clam regardless of size, broken shell or not.
May I ask why?

a little butter 😆😂🤣

Hi PK, hard to tell from your vid . when using a clam gun you need to angle the bottom of the hole towards the water.
Yes, I wasn't giving it much angle and had some broken shells - will do next time..
Great job! Learned a lot. The fast forward parts of the video cracks me up every time. Keep it up.
I was told if you put the live clams in freah water, they will pump out all of their sand. Is this correct?
Just get some clean salt water after catching let them sit about 12 hours.
On the drive home we have added corn meal to the fresh water bucket and found d no sand in the clams. Works great.
Or just rinse while you clean em... Purging them isn't nessecary.
@@joshe5931 clean em? Dont ya just boil em till they open and eat them?

Went to the Washington coast for the first time today. I'm going back for some clam digging.
Aren't you suppose to fill the hole afterward?
Not on a beach. The tide does it. Go back the next day and every hole will be gone.
Very nice and mouth watering it looks delicious with butter ybe.
Fisherman's life use to tell us the limits and dose that need a fishing license or not.
So how men by is your limit on razor clams
Here in Oregon, you can keep up to 15 razor clams. You need a SHELLFISH license to catch razor clams.
If they're too salty, instead of reducing the breading, try using unsalted butter!
In Maine we feed them corn meal, that cleans grit out of them.
How do you feed them?
Razor clams aren't the same as other clams. They are moving clams where's most clams are sedentary clams.

Wow! I never knew they had clam guns. Need to look into those for pismo clams
What kind of clam gun is that? Is it easier to pull out of the sand than the regular clam guns?
Yea that fish fry breading has a lot of salt so be careful with it I usually add a little bit of extra corn meal.
Where would you recommend going clamming if its my first time trying it this weekend. I’m from Monmouth just north of Corvallis.
You should call the fishing hotline to be safe
Sunset beach
Razor clams looks awesome
Lemon would offset the salt...Great video Cheers Jeff
