Mama Clams!! Always such a pleasure. What a fantastic foraging day! Clamming in Cape Cod is my absolute favorite thing to do. That soup looks phenomenal!!! Great job Clams

I love when you do video with Momma Clams! What a classy lady! Talk about hitting the jackpot- chicken of the woods is one of my favorites. The icing on the cake would have been if you had stumbled upon some chanterelles as well. Regardless, the ramen looked top notch and surely tasted anmazing. As always, thank you for sharing.

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ve only ever found chanterelles once…

Your mama is one lucky lady to have such a wonderful, talented son. Number 1 on my bucket list is to cook with you, fish with Aaron and paddle with Madeline. I love you guys and you bring me much joy.

It’s a incredible park

[@steveperry9304]

Damn… this was a good episode. One of the few things that I miss about growing up in NJ that I don’t have here in South FL is mushroom picking, so you’re tugging at my heart strings. Lol. We used top get TONS of Chanterelles in the fall around the pine trees (we never got Chicken of the Woods. Didn’t really know about them back then). And steamers are another thing I miss. I mean, there’s a few seafood markets and restaurants to buy them here in FL, but they cost an arm and a leg compared to up north. I’m moving to NC next year, and apparently the potential for mushroom harvesting is pretty good around , so I am definitely looking forward to that again. And we always enjoy seeing a cameo my Momma Clams!

[@CookingWithClams]

Yeah nc definitely has mushrooms! I only got into foraging about 3 years ago. I do love it

[@akindofmagick1]

Holy COW!! I miss mushroom foraging! Great find.

[@CookingWithClams]

It was unexpected! I was beside myself

[@timrobinson1393]

It’s cool watching you digging up clams brings up lots of memories of my childhood. I also remember you could throw a decent size rock about 10-20 feet away from you and you could see all the clams squirt up the water after the rock hit or you could just stop on the ground but it’s best to bring a pitchfork specially when searching for a little necks that’s what we used to call them in Connecticut

[@CookingWithClams]

Would have saved my back from some hurt!

Beautiful walk in the woods down to the sea. The mushroom was a great find. I have been clamming in Indian River lagoon near Vero Beach. We just walked in waist deep water and would feel them through our socks and pick them up. Eating the small ones as we walked and kept the big ones for steaming and chowder.

[@CookingWithClams]

I want to go clamming badly!

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Will! I did wonder why the channel name, but now we all know. My older brother had the nickname Clam. Lol! Loved getting the ‘pisser’ clams growing up on PEI for some awesome clam chowder. Love when Mama Clam shows up. Beautiful bowl of udon/ramen. Great job! Thanks for sharing!!!

What a cool day, Will. Great chicken & clams catch, dude! Ive never had the opportunity of foraging mushrooms.

Very cool video and delicious looking end product! I would have never thought to use those little crabs as a food item...here in SC the little fiddlers and mud crabs are just good bait for sheepshead and drum. Not sure if the ones we have are worth adding to a broth... But its a cool concept! Im not sure if youve ever shared before, but you have me really curious. Ive been watching for about a year hear now - do you split your time between living in key west with KWWM and living back home in NY? Or have you made a permanent move one way or the other at this point? Either way, its a joy to watch your videos and follow along with the adventures. Thanks for sharing interesting recipes and responsible harvesting!

Hey! Yes I do 1/2 and 1/2 back in key west soon!! And about the crabs, they don’t add crazy flavor but can tell it’s a lil something extra

Why don’t the deer or other animals eat the mushrooms?

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

Not every animal views fungus as food; foxes like mushrooms, slugs do too, but I dont think ive ever seen a deer eat a mushroom now that I think about it. Could be the chitin; humans technically can't digest chitin and mushrooms are full of it, but we cook it to the point we can break down some of it. For a deer idk if their body can digest it or if they maybe have some different gastrointestinal response to it than we would; my guess is either they do eat them (not this variety) and we just dont know, or the entire species has written mushrooms off on account of risk of poisoning?

Looks like your soft-boiled eggs had some issues with the white part sticking to the shell. Here are a few suggestions, not sure if any of them work. Kind of like tapping on watermelons. Let them age a week or two, place room temperature eggs in boiling water, add salt to the water, use an ice bath to cool. There are probably other tricks I forgot. @@CookingWithClams 🐓🦪
