I Cook Clams, Taiwanese Style!

[@davidh9844]

That was an absolutely BRILLIANT take on the Italian version! And I just so happen to have a load of littlenecks in my fridge right now, that had no plans other than possible clam chowder. And I've got all of the ingredients, too! Thank you

[@CookingandFishing]

Thank you!! Though there's nothing Italian about this one they've been serving this style of clams in Taiwan beer houses for decades!

[@davidh9844]

@@CookingandFishing They were an incredible success. There wasn't any sauce left in the pot by the time our little party of 8 were done. Thanks again, this is a keeper of a recipe. DNH

[@CookingandFishing]

@@davidh9844 haha that's awesome!!! So glad to hear it - never know if a recipe can be replicated by viewers!

[@jenluvzya]

Wow I finally found a video that thoroughly explains cooking this dish. I hope your channel blows up

[@CookingandFishing]

Haha well Dwight, I can't figure out youtube at all...I'm happy with my channel but it doesn't seem likely to blow up anytime soon. Just a note: this is not how any traditionally-trained Taiwanese chef will tackle this dish...I think I got the flavor profile dialed in, even improved it with that shot of clam juice...however it's not a traditional recipe in any sense. Thanks for watching!

[@sammiconley]

I enjoyed this so much, it was weirdly super relaxing. I love your voice! I haven’t fished a day in my life but i still like your videos. Lol

[@CookingandFishing]

haha thank you!

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Looks lovely

[@CookingandFishing]

thanks!

[@lorax1968]

On Long Island waters, if you're clamming state waters, you don't need a permit, but if you venture into town waters, you need a town clamming permit, which gets expensive! NYSDEC has lots of resources for shellfishing, closed areas, maps, etc...happy clamming! This recipe looks great!

[@CookingandFishing]

Thanks for the info!!

[@tanjayanons3511]

Looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Stay connected

[@CookingandFishing]

thanks!

[@avernola]

I finally got to make this tonight and it was amazing !

[@CookingandFishing]

haha awesome!

[@grandpacavendish4422]

Looks delicious, Roger. I will definitely be making this, come the Summer, when I'll do a little clamming. I guess that you could do this with mussels, too, right? All the best. Ed

[@CookingandFishing]

Thanks! Yes, definitely will work with mussels...the only difference with mussels is their juice isn't nearly as salty or flavorful as clam juice, therefore I would reduce the mussel juice by 1/2 or so, then add that concentrated shot of brine as the base for your sauce. Good luck!

Hey do you think bluefish would work for a ceviche? I harvest a lot of blues every year for family. But I’ve gotten tired and sick of eating them. Looking for more tasty and exciting ways to prepare blues.

[@CookingandFishing]

I've heard bluefish are good raw...but I have my doubts. I'd go with a small 2-3 lber, bled out and iced down to test it out. The larger blues are excellent smoked...but either way, if you're sick and tired of eating blues, keep and eat fewer of them lol! I only keep a couple in the Spring, before they start gorging on bunker.

[@bomiwonabi]

Cooking and Fishing lol I think you’re right about eating them before they gorge up on bunker.. I use to like them, but I think the funky smell from the meat finally got to me lol fluke and sea bass I can still eat all day long. Maybe I should start grilling the blues more often rather than frying them.

[@rmbooker1]

I’m definitely going to try your recipe. I am retired and do go clamming from time to time from my kayak. My gear consists of the following: a clam rake with basket, a 1/2 bushel wire basket w/float tube and a scuba fish bag like you use from time to time. I rake the clams, place them in the bag around my waist and when this gets heavy, I take the dug clams and place in the floating basket so that they will wash themselves out. Sometimes I just tow the basket behind me and use it without using the scuba bag. If it is really hot out, I will place a wet towel over the clams that are in the basket. All items are available at clamming.com. Hope this helps.

[@CookingandFishing]

clamming.com: that's so great! Thanks for the info! Never occurred to me that you can rake clams while kayaking...I might do that at the end of a fishing trip. Can't see myself driving to the shore just to clam!

[@Allirys]

Beautiful.

[@justinhugh1875]

Yum, wanna try that with snails. You can clam with just water booties. The clams are not that deep. At most a couple of inches. Go around low tide in a foot of water or less. Step around, when you feel something hard, pick it up and hope it's a clam. I use to go near Shinnecock area, which has razor clams too. But those require special technique where the mud flats have drained out. Permits are expensive!!!

[@CookingandFishing]

That may very well be my mode of clamming, before/after kayak trips! Thank you for the info, much appreciated. Btw, I've done some snail prepping in my restaurant days...they are good, but that initial blanch in boiling water sent everyone running out the kitchen, the smell was horrific lol. Hopefully your snails are less foul!

[@ThePurelove18]

Instead of sugar you can use mirin sauce its delicious 😋

[@CookingandFishing]

That might work, but sugar is considered a "neutral" sweetener

[@coolvid]

Do you need a roommate? I wouldn’t need a room. I won’t be home much. Ill only be around during lunch and dinner.

[@CookingandFishing]

hahaha...

[@robertgerber2533]

One thing the KZbin fishing community doesn't lack is a sense of humor.

[@LChang-fc2cr]

Damn son, that looks really good! I'm drooling watching this video..

[@CookingandFishing]

haha thanks Lee! We need to go fishing soon!

[@notbert81]

That looks fantastic! Are you using Genovese or Thai basil?

[@CookingandFishing]

Italian basil, only bc I couldn't find thai basil in time...but Thai basil is the right basil for this dish!

[@432Hertz69]

Wow Got Dizzy BroH!😂😂😂😂😂Broke The MOuth 😂

[@innaday1697]

Yummy 😋

[@robertgerber2533]

Those are little necks but are close to cherrystones

[@CookingandFishing]

wayyy too big! Not bad, but a bit of a flintstone clam dish!

[@mchan6]

Oooo yeaa

[@CookingandFishing]

Thanks for filming once again! Nice touch holding up that plump clam at the end!

[@Cookie08222010]

Nice, but you need to invest in a Wok so you don't use a metal bowl, lol. Good job

[@CookingandFishing]

Thanks but the bowl works just fine!

[@bomiwonabi]

Your cousin looked like he smoked a ton of weed before he ate this clams lol

[@CookingandFishing]

no weed but he was tipping back wine!

[@bomiwonabi]

Ah that explains the Asian glow lol 😂

[@CookingandFishing]

yeah it's a wonder he could keep the camera steady :)

[@bomiwonabi]

Cooking and Fishing 😂😂😂

[@aniruddhabamane5118]

Very nice but translation see the English

[@innaday1697]

And put rice

[@Feelixx_31]

Noooooo you need to open the clams in the sauce!!

[@CookingandFishing]

lol

[@小小镜头看天下]

You should not put all ingredients into the pan at the same time to stir fry. Chinese way of cooking doesnt do like that.

[@CookingandFishing]

Lol

[@小小镜头看天下]

Very bad demonstration. You keep shaking your pan like that you are scratching & spoiling your induction cooker.

[@小小镜头看天下]

You should mix your clams with the souce in the pan while cooking, not in the bowl after cooked. Obviously you dont know how to do chinese cooking.

[@Cybercnc123]

dude why do u always cover your face ??

[@CookingandFishing]

it's not covered! lol

[@Totcali]

Too much sugar! Diabetes!!

[@CookingandFishing]

lol
