Costal Mud Flat Seafood Forage with Crabs EP.467

I head out on a costal mud flat in tropical north Queensland where i find crabs, mud skipper, shells, critters and some fish. I show you a mud sled that I made in about 2 hours and do a catch and cook by the ocean, steamed crabs.
This is my video food journal or video food diary of delicious freshly caught foods in the wild, by the sometimes semi naked chef! #fishing #wildcook #catchandcook

Your text overs are perfect. I never lose focus, interest or get confused. You know how to keep the context going and I appreciate that

[@Andysfishing]

Great to hear

[@Undulateable]

You’re a legend Andy, and you’ve been a huge source of inspiration for me. I’m not an experienced angler, but i’ve done a bit over the years here and there, but not enough to feel like I really know what I’m doing. I just came back from a few weeks camping down the south coast of NSW where I fished almost every day...it was awesome. Tailor and salmon off the beach and the rocks. Bream in the lakes, flatties in the estuaries, whiting in the shallows...watching you over the last year has really motivated me to get out there, and has also taught me a lot. Thanks for all that you do mate. Cheers from the Blue Mountains. 👍

[@Andysfishing]

No worries, I'm glad I can inspire you. You live in a beautiful part of the world.

[@MurrayCrabbFishing]

Very interesting episode mate. Don’t know how you northern are so comfortable around the flats and water with crocs about.. lol

[@dog2thfishing505]

[@binyanlumagnettradingltd5938]

Hi Andy, try throwing chuck of mud at crab’s eyes and blind them, and grabbing them from back. Might help you to catch them. Let me know if it Works on Australian 🦀 haha.

[@Andysfishing]

Good idea

[@glendaroberts5965]

Hey Andy. Enjoyed the vid. When I was young we used to go out on low tide and forage for whatever we could find. Shells, starfish, crab, scallops, sand dollars, and whatever else we could find in the Gulf. That was years ago and I miss it a lot. Thank you for the memories.

[@Andysfishing]

I’m glad I could re ignite that memory for you.

[@sandrabagayas3377]

That very thin clam is for making this..shelly window. A vintage design I think of Spanish and expensive window today 😀

Andy your videos are very enjoyable. While visiting my parents today my father watched this video with me and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for everything you do.

[@Andysfishing]

Great to hear, thank you.

[@chok2345]

Andy I'm not sure of the reasoning but I've always been told you should never eat a mollusk that doesn't open when you cook it

[@teeveeepeepee]

I agree was told never eat them if they dont open after cooking them

[@thebuzz2010]

yep, if it doesnt open its been dead a while and its dangerous to eat.

[@galljnr8866]

Might have been rule number 2 , or maybe rule 1 !?

[@jamman6]

I've eaten heaps of unopened mussels before and never been sick.

[@Andysfishing]

Some don’t open when cooked.

[@rouletterunner419]

mate you gave me the shivers at 14:04, you mentioned crocodiles and you reeling in the net looked like one lol

[@Andysfishing]

Ha ha, oops.

[@mickthefisherman1562]

Heading up your way in March Andy, I will definitely keep an eye out for these creatures while fishing and collecting oysters. Just hope we can score some good weather. Thanks for all the effort you put in to bring us these informative videos, love them.

[@Andysfishing]

Looks like our wet season as arrived, flight delays are common.

[@wickedmikes5281]

Really like what you do, Andy. Anyone can post “catch, clean, cook” videos, but there are just some guys who bring a level of intelligence, curiosity, and desire to not only entertain, but also educate such that their finished product feels like something a high school biology teacher would show their students if they wanted to grab and hold their attention. Don’t know if you follow Bob Hansler, but he’s another one generating some epic content (and, based on personal conversations with him, I can say he’s also a hell of a nice guy and a conscientious steward of the wild spaces). On that last note, points to you for tossing the berried females back. Very conservation-minded. May your future be blessed with an overabundance of crabs. Should you ever find yourself in Florida again, I’ve been here for over forty years and would be more than happy to be your guide to the Everglades, Islamorada, and a few places to the north.

[@Andysfishing]

Thank you for the offer. I’d love to go back and fish Florida and USA some more. So much to explore. Yes, I e been compared to Bob a number of times.

[@jessejenkins6654]

[@2204thientai]

Hi Andy, I suggest a better way to improve your mud sled base on my experiences when I was a kid in Vietnam(my hometown) The key is you only have to care about the width, the length is not really effect to the drag. So the width on your sled is good enough. Now you just need to improve 2 things, load capacity and comfortable when using the sled for cover long distant. You should double the length on your sled(may be just make another section and connect to the original one), but try to focus the weight(your body resting) on 1/3 the length from the back. For comfortably, put a bicycle seat(instead of knee like people do on Google) and a T bar handle(may be copy the design look like letter H) so I suggest find an old(broken) bike, take the seat and the T bar handle. Connect to the sled by "the floor pipe adapter" or "pipe floor flange", the material should be cast iron or copper, find a steel pipe that fit outside the pipe of the bicycle seat, BUT let the seat move free left and right or it will crush your nuts, the high on both of the seat and T bar could be the same and about 40-60cm high from the sled. With the bicycle seat, you can freely use both legs and rest your body on the sled. The "knee mud sled" will kill your waist and your back, unless you want to have a waist look like model. 😁. Also, rubber boots won't work in mud, use an old pair of socks to protect your feet. Just rinse them off or may be dispose them away after use. Those are cheap and effective way proved by people in Vietnam.

[@Andysfishing]

All great advice. I do like to keep things simple though.

Those thin,silvery shells are called capiz shells.Btw, fantastic video! New subbie here😊

[@isserfiq]

Here in Maine USA we use a torpedo sled on the mud flats. Basically about a four foot long cheap plastic winter toboggan.

[@Andysfishing]

Cool

[@taz8504]

Taste test videos are the best!

[@Andysfishing]

Great

[@highschoolshenanigans7775]

Not sure if you’ve done it before, but a fresh ceviche catch n cook would be SWEET. Keep up with the great content! cheers

[@highschoolshenanigans7775]

Specifically fish! Big fan of the shrimp ceviche video though.

[@Andysfishing]

I will do a ceviche fish soon

[@jeffreykim3883]

I would release the sandy taste from shells in clean salt water for about 4 hours before cook. But in outdoor situation, I would not mind just like you. Good vid.

[@Andysfishing]

Yes you’re right clean fresh water makes the shells much tastier and less grainy

[@FTW_Wolf]

those crabs would be great tusk/parrot fish bait

[@Andysfishing]

Sure would

[@eugenelim9765]

Awesome! More foraging vids please!

[@Andysfishing]

Will do

Andy next time u cook prawns or crabs put some honey in the water. It gives everything a sweeter, taste trust me ive been doing it for years now. Every time someone tries it they are shocked at how it makes everything sweeter. If u try it let us know what u think of it. Keep the awesome vids coming im loving the vids.

Hey Andy . If you get a pair of surfing booties you won't have any problems getting stuck in mud.They are quite tough and I use them for access to surf breaks over the rocks.

Hi Andy love your videos and all your info. If you put your pipis and cockles in fresh water for a while before cooking they will expel the sand, much nicer without the crunch!

[@Andysfishing]

Yes, good advice

awsome as always!!! next time let those clambs sit in clear water overnight, you loose the sand than. i do this alot aswell in holland, we call this The Wadden, a part just between the mainland and some islands. love the forraging like you just did here. Awsome andy!!

Andy just a suggestion for your sled. Make up a harness that you can loop over your shoulders. You can then still forage while dragging your sled along.

Cockles will be tough over cooked. you need to have them with a sauce made with green/red chilies, garlic, lime, chopped shallots, fish sauce and lemongrass. Same can be used for grilled fish. guaranteed heavenly

2:35 that it's called window pane oyster, the one that you picked up it's still small they can get as big as 25+ cm in diameter, they are edible and pretty tasty just don't overcook them, next time if you happen to come across one of those be sure to keep them
