yu , wow congrats on reaching 24k

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!!

[@michaeledwards8215]

That looks amazing! Still say you need a food truck in stock island!

[@CookingWithClams]

Maybe one day

[@kimmorgano8778]

Y'all are so fortunate to have each other. I watch all your channels. Will, you are the best chef. I have made many of your recipes....perfection! As a Native, I wish I could live there but I can't....too expensive...

[@CookingWithClams]

If it wasn’t for Aaron and Madeleine I couldn’t live here either. I’m incredibly lucky and thankful

[@appa561]

South Florida native, many fond memories of clamming and whiting from Melbourne… While I’ve not found a fish I don’t like, whiting is still a favorite…

[@CookingWithClams]

I only had it for the first time within this last year and will say, it’s amazing

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Will! What an amazing dish you made out of 1 small fish. I love how you show us how to cook using the whole fish. That purée looked so silky. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

I didn’t even need to run the purée through a sieve!

[@judahblackmon1217]

Will! What a delicious looking dish...had me salivating and appreciate how you use the entire fish. Cheers for a fantastic video.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!!

[@Daveincc]

More of what I love about your cooking. You took one small fish and made it all it could be. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@CookingWithClams]

Had to make the most of it!

[@ericcope8216]

I love Whiting, great looking dish! Nice work!

[@CookingWithClams]

So good!

Hey, whiting are good eating. Always appreciate a nice cook at the end. New sub here

Excellent ... I love whiting. It's a very underrated table fare. I almost hate to let the secret out the bag.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s in my top ten for sure

[@jbird73]

Looks delicious! Love the Indialantic!

[@CookingWithClams]

Beautiful place

[@bradjones9634]

Looked like a lot of fun fishing. Nice cook - looked delicious .

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you Brad!

[@priscyprisc5414]

From one chef to another, it's so good seeing how you utilize that small whiting. Nothing bothers me more than seeing how wasteful people living close to the ocean in USA are with respect to fish. Living in Canada, where saltwater fish is extremely expensive, you have to use every part of the fish to get your money's worth. I would love to see you cook so called trash fish such as jack creval, shark, barracuda, pin fish, grunt, heck even lady fish. As Victor always says, there are only trash cooks. As a chef let's see your true talent for cooking those types of fish. Maybe, people will stop throwing them back. I wish I could have all the jacks people throw back. Love your content. Looking forward to your next video.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hey! You get it! Thank you for saying all this, I have cooked barracuda grunts needlefish Bonita and searobin on the channel and want to get back to it. These fish if prepared correctly are incredible

[@justuschmiii3173]

Love beach fishing TNX 4 VID LOL

[@CookingWithClams]

Me too

[@tomlpdx]

That looked so good! What's with the pup? You got a dog now? Introduce us. We all love pups.

[@CookingWithClams]

No no this was a friends house I was staying at on my way to key west

[@junokada6144]

this looks mighty fun!! yum yum, eat'm up.

[@CookingWithClams]

When I get back to nyc you gotta come film

[@TheodoreBrown-jd6yc]

Lort!!!… Never seen such made with Whiting bro! We catch 80 to a 100lbs of them in the surf out on our barrier Islands south of Mississippi coast this time of year! What we don’t sell, we knock the sides off with an electric knife and deep fry in peanut oil… Absolutely one of my most favorite fish in the sea farso!!! I gotta remember that recipe and do it on a large scale during football season! Btw… Whiting freezes very well! I got my freezer full of fillets for winter! Ha 🕷️ 🕷️

[@jenmcpena5857]

Good to see you back in Key West! 🍽️❤️

[@CookingWithClams]

Not there yet, but soon!

[@MickyC0601]

Action packed and informative!!! Great video Will Micky C

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you Micky!

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

I used to catch Whiting with my Dad off the beaches of Clearwater, FL my entire childhood...can't even count how many we used to catch with sand fleas. This really takes me back! Of course, we never made anything "fine dining"...it was either pan-seared, smoked, or fried...but this was awesome to watch! My Dad LOVED frying up the roe with eggs the next morning when we got some...I never liked it as a kid, but I think I'd love it now.

[@CookingWithClams]

Isn’t it funny how our tastes change as we get older

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

@@CookingWithClams absolutely. My kids absolutely hated lobster, crab, and oysters when they were young (though, embarrassingly, we did make fish sticks when they were young). Now they're 19-22 (three kids) and they LOVE oysters and king crab and stone crab.

[@DENNISCAVE]

Love your cooking, thanks for the videos

[@gdebrango]

I liked your mini season video from last year I’m excited first time I ever brought my boat down this year

[@CookingWithClams]

Thanks! Good luck out there

[@ByronWatsonCoachLifePro]

Wow, fancy fancy. Bro, it looks amazing and yet so simple. Thanks for sharing your skills with us, Chef Will.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!!

[@jasonmclaren6651]

Love the tip about the skillet! Had one a never knew that

[@CookingWithClams]

My grandmother taught me that

[@Mike-hb4pc]

That is a jam-up dinner right there! Congrats. And healthy to boot. PS: nice cutting board you used there..LOL 😜

[@victorcortez1155]

Will, that was awesome and thank you! Def stealing this recipe and making it for my wife. Well done👍🏼 (just subscribed)

[@CookingWithClams]

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the upcoming content

[@ReelNautiAdventures]

Regarding the sand fleas, have you ever eaten one? I watched a lady in Oregon do a catch and cook with them and she said they tasted like spotted prawns. Seems crazy to me but then again, I'll eat just about anything at least once.

[@CookingWithClams]

If I had a recipe in mind I’d try it but the desire isn’t there just yet

[@meatmaster1560]

I love, love, love roasted root veg and pan seared fish. I’ve never thought of using the carcass to make a broth and adding it to my purée. Great idea. You continue to inspire with your recipes. Cheers!

[@CookingWithClams]

Think of it like adding chicken stock

[@markroper9269]

That was a great dish!!! I am probably going to steal that.....and grill the veg. and asparagus. Compound butter was a solid move! Thanks!

[@CookingWithClams]

The dill in the butter made that dish

[@carollevatino9164]

Another great one! Wish I could taste it!!

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ll make something similar when I come home

[@nauti_fisherman4995]

Love the videos man! The crab is a speckled swimming crab, a calico crab is also called a rooster crab which claws are delicious, better than stone crab in my opinion!

[@SpaceCoastFishing]

Hey Will, it was great to meet you and good to see y’all got on some fish. The conditions were good but the fish did NOT want to cooperate. Another great vid love how you cooked the whiting. Hit me up next time you’re in town and let’s collaborate on a vid 🤙

[@CookingWithClams]

Nice to meet you too. I’ll get in touch next time I pass through

[@dann6587]

Sorry you didn't get any keeper Pomps. I recognize your guides, Matt and Rio. They're great. My wife and I had a charter with them ( East Side Surf Fishing) and caught some very tasty pomps! Look forward to trying your recipe.

[@CookingWithClams]

Yes!! Great dudes was so much fun

[@ellenmorgan6923]

Enjoy your videos , seen Aaron s first.Learning new skills later in my life

[@CookingWithClams]

Heck yeah! I love learning new things

[@mikesfilter]

Awesome, I see that you were finally able to find a place that sells the Kerry Gold herb butter. I told you that it was delicious, I actually use it to fry my eggs or cook a steak on the flattop.

[@CookingWithClams]

Kerry gold for the win

[@paulpence8895]

Whiting is excellent, Perfect!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

Underrated fish!

Haha fun work!

I'm impressed with your whiting recipe! It's such an underrated fish, I absolutely love it. Keep up the great videos!

[@CookingWithClams]

I wish I could catch them in key west

[@nickboyer4027]

Will, my son and I had the exact same outcome in Ormond Beach three weeks ago. Tried for pompano - only kept a whiting. Now I wish I had done it more justice after watching this! Love the channel and stay well!

[@CookingWithClams]

They have become one of my favorite fish

[@Simpleman88]

alright, traveling south

[@David35445]

Definitely made the most of that fish Will! I love how you can take such a small volume of protein and turn it into an elegant meal.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s the restaurant formula of making a little into a lot

[@David35445]

@@CookingWithClams I was thinking the exact same thing. Your inner Restauranture coming out.

[@therune2you]

looking forward to the keywest videos, love what you did with that whiting.

Thank you!

Aloha. You did that justice. Used to catch all the time on the gulf coast of Florida.

Looks amazing , good to see your almost home . We are coming down and staying in big pine tree from May 5 thru the 9th, hoping to meet up with Heiko on key largo and visit bud and Mary’s marina stuff like that . Maybe we can get down to key west , I hope so this time

Dude! I saw the description “Back to Key West”. I was excited, finally, he’s back, but nooooooooo. You’re on your way back. We don’t have any whiting here! C’mon on home and teach us how to cook our sea creatures, please! You don’t even have a tan!

Great video. Loved the "moonlight" fish catch. That looks delicious!!! I really want to try the fish broth roasted veggies spread!!!! Can't wait to see what you have for us coming up. Keep filming, we'll keep watching.

Love me some whiting crazy yall didn't find a keeper pomp. Good job putting in the work though

Not one person on the beach got one

If you like whiting, go to the Tampa causeway, there are a lot of whiting there

[@CookingWithClams]

Good to know

[@michaelanderson-nt1eg]

Fun to watch ya cook. If youre ever in Northern MN for some ungodly reason, could show us how to cook Walleye without deep frying it in crumbs😂. Its a staple in my terrible diet, needs a new recipe.

[@CookingWithClams]

I’d love to actually

[@Julianne955]

Oh whew! I was thinking you got a new place in the Keys! Glad to know you're just on the way home. Yes, Whiting is something delicate and delicious, but you blew my mind with the Kerry Gold Garlic and Herb???!!! I know I'll be trying that. Thank you Will, safe travels as you head towards the Keys!

[@CookingWithClams]

That butter is SO good

[@danawalker55]

Yeah man!

[@bennyF52]

Great episode. The cooking techniques explained are very helpful.Not encouraging an infomercial but tell us about that knife. I can see suisan but not sure if that’s the brand or the style. Also, I have seen that water trick for pan temp but every time I try it, the oil ends up smoking when added(even with a decent high smoke point oil). Do you use just olive oil here?

[@CookingWithClams]

Just olive oil! Suisan is the brand, misono is also good

[@RagingNana57]

Always making the most & best out of everything you catch or forage. Did you get a new spot along the way?.

[@CookingWithClams]

No this was a friends house

[@tonyrushing555]

Will, Everytime I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. You're getting better all the time. I've lived in Florida my whole life, and pompano is one fish that I've never caught. The meal you cooked looked like it was delicious. I do have a question....you might have said it but I didn't hear you.....what was the name of the fish that you said was venomous? To me, it looked kinda like a small pompano. Thanks again. This is Tony from Clewiston Fl. (I've spoken with you before.)

[@CookingWithClams]

They call them horn bellies. We call them leather jacks
