The BEST Sashimi Fish On Long Island

[@therune2you]

Gorgeous plating as always brother. I've said it before, that fish would be proud with what you did with it. Cheers

[@CookingWithClams]

The wind was trying to punk me!

[@ronald3752]

Looks wonderful, and I'll take 2 plates, plus a gallon of the miso, shipped too.......

[@CookingWithClams]

Packing it right up

another good one Will... congrats on the 1st bonito

[@CookingWithClams]

Only wish we got more!

@@CookingWithClams they look like a blast to catch... Next time, you will.👍👍

[@NewDawnTackleCo]

Will, there are so many layers to why I love this video. I grew up catching black seabass and scup with my dad and late grandfather. I've got a sleeve of (mostly) New England saltwater fish that started with a black seabass tattoo. My grandfather moved to MA from the Azores, so catching and cooking seafood was second nature. Fish remains the most treasured food in my household. I can't wait to share the sport with the next generation, but my son is a bit young just yet. Lastly, I'm dipping my toes in the water with KZbin and podcasting while trying to start a small fishing business. Your channel and Aaron's are huge inspirations. I've been watching your content for years as a casual viewer; now I'm starting to get on the other side of the lens and the sport itself. Much love from central MA. Tight lines and happy fishing!🎣🤙

[@CookingWithClams]

That tattoo sounds epic! Good luck on the KZbin and business endeavors!

[@franiannarone8196]

Yum I need some miso soup. Cool video

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s the absolute best

[@carlsoncox285]

Thanks for not editing out the wind blowing your mint leaves. Keep KZbin real. Nice job and nice videos. Thanks

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha I thought it was funny

[@jenmcpena5857]

So yummy ❤

Not much better than fresh sashimi

Picture perfect Will! Looks absolutely delicious! Hello to the Clams Family! Have a wonderful week Will!

[@CookingWithClams]

I will pass on the hellos!

[@tommytsadventures]

Nice catches Will. Sashimi and miso soup, some of my favorites!

[@CookingWithClams]

Can’t go wrong really, the perfect combo

[@jginn83]

We catch bones in march, april, and May here off Eastern NC.. We use jigs as well, but the best way to catch them is with live 3 to 4 inch small pogies (bunker) live lining.. Throw out a few for chum and it will bring them to your boat.. Leave the motor off and spot lock.

[@CookingWithClams]

Ahhh, I’m going this next year!!

[@RonaldMiastkowski]

Sashimi, only as good as the fish . BUT, the dashi you constructed with the roasted remnants for the miso left me in wonderment. Thanks again

[@CookingWithClams]

Well put! Roasting the bones was a clutch move

[@David35445]

I've got some fresh frozen stripe bass filets from this fall's bass run. Would that be a good option instead of sea bass? Sadly we don't get sea bass here.

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ve never done striped bass sashimi but I bet it would work!

[@docshqrk]

Great video as usual Will. When are you headed back to Key West? Voted off the Island?

[@CookingWithClams]

Spring

[@JohnBaruch10]

Interesting fish I’ve never heard of Bonito, so are you able to eat Bonita as well? They do look like tuna

[@CookingWithClams]

You can eat Bonita, I have on the channel but it is a much stronger flavor

[@Daveincc]

Really yummy looking ! Miso soup is wonderful on a cool fall day.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s hearty without being heavy.

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Will! What an amazing day you had catching & cleaning. As always, love how you are using the whole fish. When I went out to BC recently to go fishing, I asked them to send me the whole halibut, so that I could try some of your recipes, particularly, I want to try smoking the ribs. The meal looked so delicious. Great seeing your sister again. So do we call her Sister Clam. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha sister clams works! Did they send you the whole fish?

[@PSSKDerby]

@ still waiting on the processor to send. I’ll let you know

[@goodun2974]

Everything looks delicious including the miso soup, but between the bonito flakes, seaweed, tofu and miso paste, how much salt is in there? I have cardiac issues and I'm on a salt restricted diet..... I can't even find a soy sauce that has truly low sodium.

[@CookingWithClams]

This is definitely not low sodium. The seaweed alone has high amounts of salt

[@adamkice7045]

Does Tofu taste better with a little grilling or smoke? Nice dinghy and sunset.

[@CookingWithClams]

I actually like it raw. But grilling would add another flavor

cool little boat ! water flat so nice and peaceful ...thats what i call a nice relaxing fishing Day I caught a Bintino once On a charter boat I gave it to the Captain he wanted it more than me .. I didnt want it I had a 42 inch King fish that day . Was trolling a squid bait and caught it

[@CookingWithClams]

Nice!! They’re a great fight

[@robertmalis4493]

Amazing episode will Bonita and Bonito, a.k.a. skipjack are the most commonly used for tuna fish in a can

[@CookingWithClams]

So from my understanding “bonito” covers like 4 different fish. This was an Atlantic bonito and not skipjack. I did a deep dive googling after I filmed this. Pretty wild

[@adamyoung480]

@@CookingWithClamsAloha, and yeah. Different fish, same name depending where you live I guess. I stopped correcting people long ago.

[@Tog_Tastic]

Summer of bones up here in RI. I had to put my fillet and sushi roll skills to the test, but hands down the best raw fish we have!

[@CookingWithClams]

Agreed!! Close to Spanish mackerel

[@MelissaONeill-hi8gh]

How come you don’t use filet knives?? Curious if a chefs knife is better in certain situations? You did a great job but curious….

[@CookingWithClams]

. It’s a Japanese filet knife. I like a more rigid filet knife because I don’t have much dexterity in my hands from an accident. So the flex of an American style filet knife works against me

[@ShaunYoungfishing]

You prefer the fishing in Florida or NY? Seems like you fish more up there. 💥🎣🍻

[@CookingWithClams]

I miss the spearfishing actually and fishing for mackerel

[@ShaunYoungfishing]

@ Have you ever done much fishing for redfish or speckled trout?

[@konstantinivanov1986]

Are you telling me I can get 3 star experience at home if I'm willing to do the work? Im in.

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha absolutely!!

[@davidjames1692]

Not applicable in your situation but in commercial sushi doesn't the fish have to be frozen first... never "fresh".. (by FDA)?

[@CookingWithClams]

Yes

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

nice! cool that the Bonita has some belly fat. I realize that Otoro is bluefin, but any fatty tuna is good in my book. my last meal would be a huge tray of otoro.

[@CookingWithClams]

Not a bad way to go out!

[@goodun2974]

Just don't eat the last of the Bluefin, please; as a species, they're in trouble. Within my lifetime they have gone from a fish locally called "horse mackerel" and used as dog food to a delicacy worth hundreds of dollars a pound in Japan. The days of catching giant bluefin regularly are long gone.

[@ReelMahal]

Your cooking is Silky Smooth man! Another banger! I catch a lot of sheepshead and was wondering your favorite way of cooking it would be assuming you have cooked it before. I caught 15 recently and new vid is up check it out if you get the chance.

[@CookingWithClams]

Man clams, I will keep the Bonita for bait but there are alot better fish in those waters for sashimi. For one flounder.

@@CookingWithClamsAloha. What does that make you. Most people do the opposite. I used to live on Longboat Key, we dreaded snowbirds.

[@robertrickabaugh3304]

Looks amazing except for the Tofu. Bonito are not skipjack. Skipjack are Tuna, stripes on the belly. Bonito are mackerel, stripes on the top and they have teeth. You put so much work into these meals but I bet it's well worth it

[@chris6054]

Bonito are also a tuna, that just seems like we're playing semantics. All Mackerel and Tuna are in the same family...

[@CookingWithClams]

Unfortunately I learned that after filming. Bonito covers 4/5 different fish and yes this was an Atlantic bonito rather than a skipjack. Always learning!

[@goodun2974]

​@@CookingWithClams, if you think getting past colloquial names for fish and learning what's what is daunting, try foraging for wild mushrooms! I am always trying to increase my knowledge base about the various types I encounter when I'm hiking; mistaking a tuna for a mackerel or vice versa might make for a disappointing meal, but it's unlikely to make you sick and it certainly won't kill you! I strongly doubt anyone will mistake a puffer for a popular edible fish ( although if I was to visit Japan, I would certainly try fugu); but I've only eaten a half dozen mushroom types, which I am 100% certain I've ID''d correctly. Anyway, there have been virtually no mushrooms of any kind this fall due to the drought.

[@Mazzey0006]

You obviously have skills with a knife for cutting/cooking, but how come you never use a fillet knife? That flex would make things a lot easier

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s a Japanese filet knife. I’ve explained why in a few other vids and in many other comments. I was in an accident where I broke my neck and I don’t have much feeling in my hands or fine motor skills. The flex of a light fillet knife works against me so I like a more rigid knife. This is a Japanese fillet knife, although not a traditional fillet knife it is still a fillet knife.

[@Mazzey0006]

@CookingWithClams gotcha, I must have missed the discussion before about the knife, I remember you explaining the accident and dexterity and such, was wondering about the knife! Thanks for the explanation!
