You all probably dont care but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tips you can give me.

@Roman Major Instablaster =)

[@romanmajor5850]

@Nikolai Johan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@romanmajor5850]

@Nikolai Johan it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@rmil4531]

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I’ve definitely put Guernsey on my list for visiting when it’s safe. Well done, great channel.❤️😷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thank you 👍

[@timothyjohnston6314]

Brilliant video smash. Thank you for showing how much grit is purged. It’s always nice when you can do something for your family. Can’t wait for the next one👍🇨🇦

[@lukaszlucas1718]

4 grains of allspice, 3 bay leaf leaves 3 glasses of water 1 glass of vinegar. Sugar to taste 3 small teaspoons or more to break the vinegar.You must boil this and put hot then the jar will seal. you can add raw onion sliced ​​into the jar. Try it, maybe you will like it. Regards Łukasz.

[@barryonyett8638]

That brings back happy memories that was our Sunday trip out all the family down to dymchurch cockling then cooking them on a stove on the beach happy days

[@SimonTebbenhamMusic]

Top tip, if you wait for the tide to start coming back in, the cockles start squirting and rising to the surface for easy pickings :)

[@SimonTebbenhamMusic]

I also don't purge - get em cooked, then wash them. but that's only because I can't wait and end up covering them in flour and having fried cockles :)

[@albertguardiano1874]

Hello from Illinois, US thanks for sharing another great video. I really like the foraging and cooking, have a great day and stay safe

[@Shnookie3.14]

I've pickled just about everything I can get here in AZ (pickled lizard is horrible), so I was excited to see you doing cockles. To be honest, I was bit put off you only used vinegar. Why not use some garlic cloves, toasted pepper corns, onions, all spice and even a few cloves(go easy on the cloves) even mustard seed is great in a pickle. I know how you like a little heat, so any spicy peppers or chili. Paste works great. Currently in my fridge, pickled eggs(sweet and spicy batches) and shrimp and smoked sausage. If I pulled a straight vinegar pickle, my family would probably throw me to the curb. If you would like me to share any my recipes, just ask. I will gladly share. Anywho,, another great and informative video and glad Sam got his pay for being cameraman.

[@rachfear2911]

Yum yum love pickled cockles, reminds me of being a kid when I used to do this with my grandad. Simple food but tastes amazing

[@SMASHFISHING]

Same Racheal this was an every week thing as a kid haha great memories 👌 thanks for watching

[@rachfear2911]

One of my best childhood memories plus it kept me amused for hours 🤣

[@SMASHFISHING]

[@EarlsFishingAdventures]

Nice one , at least people now know how easy it can be to forage there own food if they need to.

[@SMASHFISHING]

That’s it mate thanks for watching

Beautiful beach with church bells ringing, how peaceful.

Great video guys and a lovely gift for your Dad. Well done Smash!

My wife has asked me for a divorce.

[@olibonds6735]

Don’t think cockles can save that

[@skeetorretard]

like watching popcorn popping

[@LillysGymnastics]

Thanks Jay. When I was younger my dad always went mad buying cockles at the U.K. seasides. I never even knew they were here in Guernsey. I might have to give this ago 👍

[@SMASHFISHING]

That’s mad mate you have them on your door step haha

[@susanp.collins7834]

Lovely stone houses!

[@tylernathan7985]

Your driving on the wrong side Homie!!! LOL!! Love your videos!!! Keep em coming!!

[@davidb.7093]

Nice video, did not realise how easy it was to find cockles. Then in the kitchen did not realise how easy it was to pickle them. Can't wait for my next beach holiday, I've got the perfect small rake so will be giving this a go.

[@SMASHFISHING]

Yes it is very easy mate and they are delicious haha best of luck to you 👍

[@andydiaz7296]

I usually add a little chili oil, Cayenne pepper, and one habanero pepper we love it spicy in Miami Florida

[@ericahenderson7262]

I told my family if I didn’t get smash Murch for Christmas that they are excommunicated from the family. LOL. Great video smash, as always. I loved hearing the bells in the background. Can you believe that you’re getting close to 100K viewers? That’s so cool. I’m so happy and excited for you.

[@tblazy3463]

Smash going to the beach to play with his cockles and then go home and get pickled!🤣🤣 I have never seen pickled cockles or clams looks pretty good! Nice one!😄👍 👍 👍

[@shirleysmith4585]

hey im such a big fan i love every one of your videos you are amazing im so happy i get to watch your videos .

Thank you very much for watching

[@elkilanimaliuna8026]

Thanks for sharing. Nice 👍

[@kinblanking]

Nice haul. My grandad used to add fine oats to his purging water for cockles and mussels. They defo got fatter! 🖒

[@susanp.collins7834]

The oats encourage them to purge any sand in the shells.

[@RoyaleJester]

brilliant mate ill be doing some of that down the estuary when the warm weather comes back lol. 👊

[@Maddie-pe2xd]

Best way to start off the morning! 😃👍

[@SMASHFISHING]

Amen to that 👌

[@joeltaylor67]

I would love to visit gurnsey one day looks so natural and beautiful there and love the vids mate!

[@JennyMack]

I love anything pickled! YUM!

[@keithstatham6]

Top job buddy ......your an inspiration keep up the good work !!

[@rasmuspoulsen3434]

I'll give you a little tip when pickling, you should heat up the vinegar, before pouring it over. In this way it will create a vacuum in the jar when it cools, and the product will last for a lot longer.

[@adamlowe1072]

friends dad always used to give them a second purge but in the sea water mix he put in ground up oats, they would filter this out and pass more poop and be so fat for eating

[@vampgrrl]

It's Jay and Sam, woo!😄😛

[@andradavis7201]

ive never had cockles boohoo thanks for sharing with us they look yummy from a fan in red oak tx ...cheers

[@miriamtaylor7542]

I am going to gather Cockles in the morning in Jersey, I used to use a rake years ago, now I look for little patches of the sand slightly darker, easy to find this way, follow the tide out, I don’t know how you shelled the Cockles without tasting any!!!

[@chrisgray3898]

Deffo gonna have a watch of this after dinner , nice one Jay 👌👌

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thank you ! I hope you enjoy

[@chrisgray3898]

It was a decent vid Jay , get at them larrys now if they are still about bro 👌👌

[@adampye9283]

looks so easy to do. Think ill take my boy to the beach soon and have a rake.

[@hermybaharuddin1285]

I'm a subscriber from Malaysia.. Try adding a stalk or two of fresh lemongrass when boiling your cockles mate.. The taste and aroma will be amazing..

[@colingontier7697]

Another excellent and very interesting video.

[@crashbang756]

Great video again jay....👌

Thanks dude

[@Maginnifix]

I kinda learned meself the everwhere the kids ran little squirts of water came up dug one out and massive cockles so just stam along and look for the squirts

Hope you enjoy mate

[@bobbysoza3798]

Hell yeah! New video

[@great-grandmakirk8828]

I thought when you pickle things you need some spices with the vinegar like bay leaves and ginger and a few others. I’ve never heard of just using vinegar to pickle something.🤷‍♀️ live and learn I guess thanks for the info ❤️👍🏻

[@carolynallisee2463]

Even with wind and other background noises, you can still hear when the tines of the rake hit a shell or stone.

[@johnbiff3100]

hell yeah sorted gonna watch nice looking jar of cockles dude but i think you was much more pickled in the shed on the rum ..hahahaha stay safe dude take care have fun be happy ...

you should extend the rake so you won't have to bend down so much!

I use sea water but you can purge In tap water , it’s down to personal opinion

[@andysimmosimpsonakaeccentr2837]

Can you do this with other shellfish or just cockles mate

[@bill6698]

Why not preserve them using the water/cockle juice that you cooked them in? Perhaps adding a bit of salt...making it a brine.

[@galljnr8866]

Hey mate. Would you not be better with a longer handle on the rake. Save your back 👍. Great watch again 🎣

[@JTBeelen]

Quick question. When youre boiling water, why do you put it in the kettle first and then boil it in the pot?

[@petemoss8245]

You realize that it's just a quicker way to bring up the water temperature than directly from the stove ? I noticed that he is also using a pot that is left over from an pressure cooker that is missing a handle and made out of aluminum. Very nice refrigerator and coffee clock.
