Will you need to start doing a podcast. Every time I cook something that takes time I find myself throwing one of your old videos on to listen while I cook. You just have a really nice voice in the most no homo kind of way

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha thanks! I appreciate that

This was ...."hands down" ...one of the best foraging , cook and catch we have enjoyed this year. Your content is most enjoyable my friend. Thanks!

I’ve been searching for the perfect lobster mac recipe for the past few days. Definitely doing it your way! Thanks for the great videos!

[@CookingWithClams]

Awesome! I appreciate that

[@fredgriffith9340]

Absolutely related to this video. Been going down to the keys lobstering for over 35 years and all the grunts, snorkel words, reactions, all came racing back to me. Wasn’t going to go this year but you have made me change my mind. I don’t like Mac and cheese but will definitely start harvesting the knuckles.

[@CookingWithClams]

They’re a pain to get all the cartilage out but definitely worth it

[@scottlemay8728]

Long time viewer, first time poster. Hands down this is my fav CWC video to date. My man slayed it in the water, then slayed it in the kitchen. Other YT creators should be jealous because this was a BANGER.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha thank you!! I had a pretty great day to say the least

[@Jamey32114]

The sound of lobster underwater takes me back!

[@CookingWithClams]

Such a unique sound

[@meatmaster1560]

I loved hearing your inner kid coming out with all of the delighted laughter you had as you hand caught those lobster! Seems like it was a pretty wild mini-season. I never knew about the lump meat in the antenna so thank you for that education. Steeping the carcasses in the cream was simply genius as well as using four really flavorful cheeses. That had to have been one of the most delectable lobster mac’s ever made!

[@CookingWithClams]

It was nap inducing haha!

[@Bigrigjeff]

Yeah, that’s a lobster roll right there! Waiting for Madeline’s response was overwhelming. Aaron’s response was like out of this world and your response. The bomb! Keep the videos coming!

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha

Good one, Will! That looks soooo freakin good! Love the apologies for the allergy crowd and the laughs while collecting. Yum!

Awesome! Welcome!

[@johnnyroberts6291]

Will, I am LMAO watching you snag those lobsters. Keep up the great content, I’m living vicariously through you. I am terrified of the ocean, but I really love it.

[@CookingWithClams]

I was the same way until about 5 years ago

[@dratstilldo6965]

for the knuckles, I find it easiest just to cut them in half with a chefs knife and just peel out each side with a fork. one of my favorite knuckle /tail recipes is to chop up some lemongrass, put it in a mason jar with butter and boil to infuse then use that for dipping /basting and take a piece of lemon grass and slice thinly to turn it into a paint brush and brush the tails or halved knuckles as they cook on a grill

[@CookingWithClams]

Sounds amazing and good trick on the knuckles

[@flysubcompact]

The hordes swamp the seas and Will slays toads on the bank.😂

A fabulous harvest adventure and an even better culinary episode. Can't wait to try it (with San Diego Spiny Lobby). Thx for yet another terrific video!

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!! I want to try west coast spiny to compare it to ours in Florida

[@johnbush2798]

@CookingWithClams I'm from Jacksonville, Florida but settled in San Diego after retirement from the Navy. I have 2 boats... a 19' bassboat that I use only in fresh water and a 23' center console for salt adventures. Diving for lobbies is really hard (with so many restrictions by the Navy, and SD Port Authorities as well as sealife preserves in LA Jolla, So much of our harvest (which is sometimes significant) comes from use of rigid hoop nets. Your (and Aaron's) mini season videos brought back many memories of diving in KW while in college and during weekend training flights during Navy flight training. I'd jump at every opportunity to take weekend cross country training flights from Pensacola to NAS Key West. There was always a 1 or 2 day layover and you could always find me in the water. Your lobster harvest success just off the bank in the mangroves transported me back to the mid 1970's like it was yesterday! Thank you!!! I NEVER miss one of your video postings and have enjoyed trying to replicate all of your recipes. I will close by saying I have adopted your careful (and thoughtful) use of every part of the sea critters we take locally and have benefited by increased chopping and chewing! CWC is a great channel. (Need to put CWC inside a clam shell logo on hats and T-shirts...like Aaron did with his KWW logo). Keep posting and your subscribers will grow!

[@Pharm_NYC]

Absolutely Amazing! This vid from start to finish was simply......Spectacular

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you Paul!

[@williamhughes5197]

Great job catching up the lobster 🦞. Making me drool watching you guys eat it. I would sometimes cut the lobster up into medallions and bread them with penko bread crumbs then fry them in oil. Just something different from the every day boiled lobster everyone else was making.

[@CookingWithClams]

Ah I like that idea. Earlier on I did a fried sweet and sour lobster

[@margekaralis4212]

Wow I mean wow. Will great video. Happy to see you get your limit so quick. Please list oz of each cheese you used. I want to bake it exactly like your recipe. Thanks for sharing

[@CookingWithClams]

I used the whole block of each but only half the Parm. Probably a bit of overkill

[@tedbrown2583]

Absolutely gotta be so flavorful!!! Since we dun have lobster here in Mississippi, I’m going to do that recipe with blue crab and shrimp!!! And yes! I will use the crab and shrimp shells for my cream sauce!!! Ha Thanks Will, 🕷️

[@CookingWithClams]

That’ll work!

[@jeffs7255]

The sound it makes when stirring :)

Hahaha shhhhhh

[@robertmalis4493]

People are the same way around here when it comes to scallop season half the people don’t even know how to run a pose. We had two guys get their legs chopped up and a bunch of other boating accidents. What a great recipe have a great day will.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s so dangerous out there I try to avoid being near any boats at all

[@tracycastleberry9040]

Good morning Will. Every time I see you and Arron with lobster especially your channel you all boil the heads for stock but thats it. Being from south Louisiana we make crawfish bisque. I have watched you make a bisque and it looked great. Well the point of all this we take the heads of the bigger crawfish separate the top shell from the legs and innards, There are tons of recipes out there for Louisiana crawfish bisque and how to make the stuffing, but we stuff the heads and put them back in the bisque. I would like to see your take on this done with lobster Wish we had ready access to lobster because I would love to try it. Unfortunately they are about ten dollars a pound whole here and ain't no cajun worth his salt would cook with less than 5 pounds of tails. Sorry for getting long winded.

[@CookingWithClams]

Haha no worries! I’ll do one soon I promise

[@cortoolei-pearson7702]

That was great Clams, thinking outside of the box !, Who needs a boat ?, well done mate 👍 At first I thought, jeez, Mac n cheese ?, You Americans 😂 !, Sacrilegious 🤣 Then, as you started cooking I'm thinking, Oh yeh 😋 ! Lobsters down here in the south of France ?, Top dollar, or Euro!, But wait, I can do this with Gambas, waddya think chef ?, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks for an inspirational and eye opening video, I know what's on the menu at my house this weekend 👍, unless you get back to me and say, Nooooo 😆

[@CookingWithClams]

I am in the same boat as you! Lobster Mac is never my go to. Growing up eating Maine lobster to cover up. The flavor at all is sacrilegious, but spiny lobster has a bit of a stronger taste. It’s closer to a shrimp in texture so my answer is yes definitely do this with shrimp, also I grew up in a Sicilian household where you never mixed seafood with dairy so to this day it still feels wrong. But this is a big but that lobster mac & cheese was so good it made me a believer

[@robgorta6131]

No Aaron needed 😂! I'm jealous, I was in Marathon and the water clarity and lightning hampered our efforts!

Great video Will! Love the laugh during your dive. Lol. Really appreciate that you use the whole lobster at least in one way or another. It really irks me that Floridians are so frigging wasteful with not only lobster but fish in general. I really love your channel for showing how to use seafood as a whole. Really like the idea of putting the roasted lobster body in the cream sauce. I always make lobster broth with my bodies and shells that I use. I’m not much for cream as I use low fat milk and broth in my cheese sauce. I just use more cheese. Lol. I do bake in oven. Sometimes with bread crumbs. Thanks for sharing!!!
