Blue Crab Bycatch | Blowfish Hot Wings

[@denontour]

Typical Will, he only has the filet of the Bluefish left to use as bait, all the scraps have been eaten 🤣 Great video as usual 👏

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha I’m glad someone caught that!

[@lexlax999]

My grandma used to tell me she grew up eating these, great vid will

[@CookingWithClams]

Yes!! They were definitely more popular back in the day

[@Ape-El]

Actually had my first experience catching puffers a few days ago. The croaking sounds they make are so weird.

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha like grunts In key weat

[@josephderer9393]

Most people think of what they do on YT as *content*... when you do it like you do - it is your art...

[@CookingWithClams]

You know…. I appreciate that. I’m not here to make an impact but more so documenting my own adventures like a photo album

[@meatmaster1560]

We live this video! My kids call those “sea drummies”!.’ Catching puffers in traps or on light tackle is a great time, especially for the younger children with a short attention span. We also brown them in a pan and sauce them in a variety of ways. It’s always a hit, even with those that aren’t big fans of fish. We love your channel. Thanks for sharing and be safe.

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re incredible I just wish bigger haha and I am basically a kid with no attention span

[@meatmaster1560]

😂

[@RagingNana57]

You already know that I love you conten well as Aaron's. I didn't get my notification yester, but got it this evening just as I was getting off work. Glad I got it. I'm not a blue cheese person so I would make homemade ranch dip.

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ve heard this a few times and wonder why people don’t get the notifications. Thank you for watching though!! And I actually thought about ranch but was craving blue cheese

[@ricardosambrano601]

Good job...thanks for your commentary and your cooking expertise

[@robertrickabaugh3304]

Thanks for making it look difficult :) Keeps people from wiping them out again

[@CookingWithClams]

You can’t tell in the video but there were 6 of us crabbing and all traps were loaded. Everyone else was pissed and threw them back

[@chapixx]

They kinna look like some large frog legs 🤷🏽‍♂️😂🔥

[@CookingWithClams]

Exactly!

[@pawshog]

Looks Absolutely Delicious !!! Your yard looks Amazing !!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

That’s a thanks to my dad in the 70s

[@tedbrown2583]

Ha! Well that was different Farso! The blowfish here in Mississippi are few and far between and have spines all over them!… I would luv to try those someday… 🕷️

[@CookingWithClams]

The problem is how good they taste. Cause after you eat one you just want more but only have a limited time to catch

[@jimcharles9867]

The fish looks fantastic! Come down to South Jersey shore and open a restaurant...please!

[@CookingWithClams]

Come to bk!

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Make sure you bring that minnow trap back to Florida for bait. Also, don’t know if you follow the news, but Italy is inundated with blue crabs and they can’t keep up. Decimating local fisheries.

[@CookingWithClams]

So what I’m hearing is…. Let’s book a flight to Italy and teach em what a crab boil is?

[@adamyoung480]

@@CookingWithClams Oh, I’m quite sure they’ll figure it out. Spent my last year in the navy in Gaeta, you should have seen their fish market.

[@TheLegobug]

We are from ...just outside Buffalo...Nice!

[@CookingWithClams]

Ah so you know hot wings!

[@Beardlovesdog]

excellent work and meal Will.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!!

[@GoatRoper911]

They look good Chef.

[@CookingWithClams]

This was one I wish people could taste

[@francismartin67]

You’re an amazing chef, great idea for the “bycatch” known as trash fish.👍

[@CookingWithClams]

I want to make a sweet and sour version! With sesame and scallions

[@Pharm_NYC]

That's the Babylon marina via the Great South Bay. I see the Robert Moses bridge in the backdrop. That's my home port. We really need make to a video. Worked at Captree for many years. Give me a shout. I live in Florida now and we vacation every year in Ocean Beach the last 2 weeks in July. We can take a day or two and make an amazing video weather permitting (Clams - Fluke - Seabass -Trigger and plenty of Nothern Puffers). Augie's Bait and Tackle for some gear and tackle. Tell Aaron he is welcome to join :)-

[@CookingWithClams]

Where is ocean beach?

[@Pharm_NYC]

@@CookingWithClamsIt's on Fire Island and the most populated and visited township via ferry from the mainland (Bayshore ferries). Sending a PM.

[@Julianne955]

Yum! Puffer fish...chicken of the sea! It's one of the most tastiest fish out there! Haven't thought about a buffalo style, that looked delicious! Thank you for another great video Will. Have a beautiful week!

[@CookingWithClams]

I love that so many people have not only tried but love these fish. They’re so good!!

[@pamdimitrio4972]

I would suggest that you use a cast iron skillet. It holds the heat beautifully

[@CookingWithClams]

Yeah need to get one for the moms house. Got about 6 in key west

[@justuschmiii3173]

You make it look so easy,,, and it is...! New Is challenge... TNX 4 VID LOL

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s easy to catch the wrong thing hahaha

[@kevingraybill2170]

Another awesome dish Will

[@CookingWithClams]

I want to make it again

[@shawnaustin8957]

👍👍

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you shawn!

[@VernBigDaddy]

Another super fun learning experience. Thanks buddy.

[@CookingWithClams]

For me too!

[@raysmith8412]

Never had blowfish, never thought you could eat them, but you sure do make them look like something that I would definitely try.

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re amazing

[@miketorre16]

looks real, i bet it taste better then regular buffalo wings.

[@CookingWithClams]

So much better!

[@gkny4045]

I think the chicken wing take is such an awesome idea. Sound delicious, buffalo calamari was a big thing on Long Island in the past. I don’t see it as much lately.

[@CookingWithClams]

Ah squid season is coming!!

[@gradybrowning3976]

We catch them here in Florida too, they are Delicious!

[@CookingWithClams]

So good!

[@franiannarone8196]

Wow what a great idea, yum

[@CookingWithClams]

When I’m doubt… just put Buffalo hot sauce on it

[@tommytsadventures]

I've had deep fried puffer fish once before and they tasted great! Too bad the ones caught here in Florida have tetrodotoxin.

[@CookingWithClams]

They do?

[@tommytsadventures]

@@CookingWithClams Yes, they are even banned from being harvasted in some counties in Florida. At least it was at one point.

[@highcommander2007]

my god that looks good lol. I'd eat these any day over chicken wings!

[@CookingWithClams]

Me too!

[@CB-qb8hj]

Really enjoyed this one! Crazy how much they look like frogs but prob taste even better. Super creative Thx!

[@CookingWithClams]

The taste is VERY similar

[@ericcope8216]

Looked so good! Nice video! Thx. I need to find the little guys here in VA!

[@CookingWithClams]

I think the same ones are there

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!!

[@Allirys]

Man, awesome CCC video. Its very rare to see people eating those unique delicious "sea wings". Gonna try with blue cheese. Thanks!

[@CookingWithClams]

If you’re catching them rod and reel it’s a pain to get enough to make a meal

[@pamdimitrio4972]

Thanks for what you do

[@CookingWithClams]

My pleasure!

[@TheDrummergirl33]

Yum I’d try those for sure.

[@CookingWithClams]

Just like hot wings!

Wow! You mad chef magician!! Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing 🔥

Sweet

[@CookingWithClams]

Not bad for going blue crabbing haha

[@bradjones9634]

They actually looked delicious! Great job, Chef.

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re really just like skinless chicken wings

[@battlebornpyro8567]

Those look delicious! I’m not going to be tossing those back anymore 😂 thanks for another awesome video!

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re pretty tasty!

[@luismanes3762]

Had no idea blowfish could be eaten. Thank you for the video Will. Only way you could have made this video better is if you got mama clams to try it.

[@CookingWithClams]

She shared a few with me after. I’ll get her back on soon

[@jaimeedean-murphy4665]

Too good to be true!

[@CookingWithClams]

It was a gold mine

[@jaimeedean-murphy4665]

@@CookingWithClams beer choice I think maybe a skunky beer would not be my go to. Maybe a brown ale. Hmmmm

[@stevenfischer5392]

Wow! What a cool video Will! Man those looked good! I've always wondered how to clean those. We get some bigger ones here in Sanibel. Now I can do it without worrying! Thank you! The blue cheese too was another learned thing from this video too! Thanks again! 😂. Have fun will, and that smoked salmon is good!

[@CookingWithClams]

Ah you got some??

[@stevenfischer5392]

@CookingWithClams ya I ordered it off their website after watching your video! Seeing how clean he was made me want to write a review. I cant believe they only had 1 review! Now trying it I think I will. Alittle pricey but worth it I think! I like watching your videos, you make alot of cool dishs like this one, and do alot cool things. Keep it up thanks!

[@carollevatino9164]

Another great delicious and informative video!!

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you mom!

Great video keep it up

Thank you!!

[@hkonyt797]

Looks delicious. Haven't had blowfish in over forty years. Thank you for your interesting and instructional videos. Keep em coming!

[@CookingWithClams]

I always pass em up but really wanted them this day

[@tylerread1068]

Right on Clams! I assume this can be done with the puffers in southwest FL?

[@CookingWithClams]

I think they’re the same, I can’t say for sure

[@robertrickabaugh3304]

Little Blowfish. Rod and reel helps just get the bigger ones

[@CookingWithClams]

I would have been there a long time

[@robertmalis4493]

Amazing video on what a great concept are those the same little puffers that we get here in Florida they look the same

[@CookingWithClams]

I’m not sure, I think so

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Will! Man, I love that Colville Bay oyster T-shirt. They are awesome. That’s usually what we eat when we go home to PEI. Have you beer there? This is why I love your channel, you do different stuff that the everyday person should be able to do. Thank you! Those ‘wings’ looked so unbelievably delicious. I’m sure those sauces made them even better. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ve never been but we carry those oysters sometimes at my restaurant

[@ReelNautiAdventures]

Hooter's ain't got a thing on you with this recipe. The chicken wing of the sea. And like you said, a by-catch.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha

can you post a link to the trap? thanks...love blue crabs...

[@CookingWithClams]

A few different places in nyc

[@FloridaWanderer85]

I have always wanted to try these, but my part of Florida its not allowed :( awesome video.

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re addictive! We get a small window to catch them on Long Island

[@danawalker55]

Yummy!

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re so dang good. Almost feel bad cause of how cute they are

[@andrewbenedict7027]

Are these the same puffers found in the keys? If so, I’ll have to try this out next winter

[@CookingWithClams]

I can’t say for sure. Only ever caught em up here

[@pqtpat7734]

How long did total prep, clean, cook take lol? Killer interesting video

[@CookingWithClams]

15 mins cleaning, 5-7 mins each sauce, 5 min sear. 25 mins?

[@jamesaragon1825]

Ok will first where are the blue crabs,? It was in the name of the video? Second I think they would be better if you put some kind of crunchy coating on them and third when are you guys going to do a iron chief cooking contest??????😊

[@CookingWithClams]

It says blue crab bycatch in the title. The crabs didn’t wanna play that day. I’ve had them breaded and it covers up the delicate taste. This to me is the best way to prepare them. I think the iron chef cook offs are retired, they were fun though!

[@jimcathcart5116]

You can tell your in blowfish country the cleaning tables have sets of 2 nails 1/2 inch apart cut back of head put head on nails pull fish inside out 10 seconds to clean blowfish caught plenty in nj

[@CookingWithClams]

Nice!

[@garyulmer259]

WILL I watched your puffer fish video it was a good one but if it was me I would of breaded them but that's me good job
