    I'm looking forward to the day you open that tin of razor clams. Way back in the dark ages, when I was a kid, we ate whatever my Dad could dig or catch from the Long Island sound, and that included a lot of clams. If we were with him, and found razor clams, my parents always told us they were inedible. I can't wait to finally try them myself!

    I’m in a dark place right now… wondering where Matt is and how he’s doing… I miss not only his show but hate not knowing how he’s doing either… the very cool, nice man that created such a channel… he certainly is/was a very unique person that I could relate a lot with too… we also need Slow Jabroni so badly too, but he may be in a dark place too… he once assured me Matt was well, but perhaps he took a turn for the worse… God forbid he got down and even did something crazy to himself… but I have problems crippled up, and know it can be so depressing after a life of being active… I thought Matt seemed stressed a few times… I wonder if he knew how many people love him… I’d watch him eating spam, anything as long as he talked about it… and I know so many would support him through injury or anything… he’s the only one that put pressure on himself…you are so missed Matt… I’m praying he’s still ok… the one thing I read on here was a cycling accident… May God bless him and his family… for anyone who knows if he’s alive or not please tell how or document how you know… I can’t find anything online… Your fans love you too Slow Jabroni, I hope you will continue making videos… ❤🙏

    • @CannedFishFiles
      @CannedFishFiles  Год назад +18

      Nana, they really don't have a lot of curb appeal until you get to a certain tier of quality. I would take these over the fresh(?) mussels served at 95% of seafood restaurants.

  • @scottbelcher9026
    @scottbelcher9026 Год назад +2

    Thank you Matthew! You hit the nail on the head with the razor clams fitting that chew I was looking for!!! And even like chopped clams are pretty good for cheaper! The baby clams, no, just soft… I’m really enjoying them now!!! I have one more razor clams too!!! I’ll have to order again, and I’m wanting to try cockles too!!! Between those and the eels, I’m loving what I eat!!! Lol…
    I pray all is well and you return to RUclips soon!!! Oh where oh where have you gone?

    I'm waiting with "baited" breath for a new installment of Canned Fish Files... My RUclips life feels meaningless right now. I need some Matthew Carlson bringing his canned fish A-game.
    I just ate 2 cans of King Oscar Mackerel on a paper plate, hunched over my stovetop, with a side of store bought Reser's macaroni salad, a sliced up fresh jalapeno, and a Three Stooges episode playing on my phone (#bachelorlife). It was enjoyable, but didn't reach the level it could have if I would have been watching a new episode of CFF.

    I love the smoked canned mussels from Ekone. They are fantastic. As per escabeche, yeah its a rather vague term and varies country to country. My Filipino friends would take red wine vinegar and add dried red chile flakes, a little garlic, and sometimes hot sauce and call it escabeche to dip deep fried squid rings into and eat. It was pert dang good too for cheapness. On a final note...I have searched high and low and moled up and burrowed down deep into the ether of the interwebs to find those fine point chopsticks but with no success. Where can I find them? Another fantastic video flick Matthew. Mahalo!
