FORAGE and COOK SEAFOOD MINI FEAST - Finding FREE FOOD At The Beach

Whelks, Sea Snails, Limpets & Mussels. I'm coastal foraging on the Oregon Coast for some wild sea food. I have eaten mussels before but i have never tried Whelks or Limpets. I caught the end of a low tide and was able to find plenty of Whelks, but the Limpets were a bit harder to find, especially some that were big enough to harvest.
When it comes to how to cook limpets, it's actually simple. A quick drop in some boiling water and they will pop right off their shells. I will show you how you clean and prepare limpets in the video. i wasn't sure how to cook whelks snails so i had to do a little looking around online. These snails have to be one of the tastiest things i've foraged for so far, along with gooseneck barnacles. I picked up a couple mussels along the way and have to say, i definitely enjoyed these catch and cook mussels. I gave them a quick steam, cleaned and rinsed them. The texture was on point and the taste was probably the best i've had so far when it comest to foraging and eating mussels. I've seen oregon coast sea snails quite a bit considering how often i am out and fishing along the coast, but sea snail cooking and sea snail eating is not something i really considered. But these catch and cook snails were a treat! and i will definitely be eating sea snails again.

Great vid Nick! My kids and I have decided on 1st trip to Barview this year were going to harvest the barnacle's and now we will add the sea snails and limpits!

[@xyzct]

Aaron, if it's your first trip, please be careful, especially with kids. The rocks are EXTREMELY slippery, and falling can truly be catastrophic. Also, whatever size the swell that day, some random waves can be MUCH bigger, and getting swept off the rocks would also be a nightmare. But that said, the jetty ... um ... rocks!

[@bbbcccc9822]

@@xyzct appreciate the warning Nick thank you. No not 1st time we've done Barview jetty many times to fish but I will take heed of your warning as it is precarious as we all know.

[@johnraetz6748]

Escargot, just needed some butter and garlic!!!, great job!!!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Butter and garlic is my go-to! It would have been delicious with these but i wanted to try them plain so i knew what they actually taste like without additional flavor. I look forward to trying these different ways. I'm glad i finally got to try these

[@jconsolini6286]

I just had to watch this again. I have got to take a drive down the coast and try this stuff out. Maybe we'll run into you this coming year.

[@riverrightoutdoors]

I love the fact that you are willing to eat and try most all crustaceans. Great video ...

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank you. It has been interesting that’s for sure. I think everything is worth a try.

[@VuTang858]

The limpets take literally 30 seconds to cook. Over cooked limpets are rubbery and not too good to eat. Cooked right, it taste and texture is like squid. The snails are real good. I eat everything but the back half. Dipped it in a little flavored fish sauce with ginger and they’re gold.

Love these videos and the fact that they’re available in 4K !

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank You! 4K definitely makes it more enjoyable.

[@markjarvis1600]

The limpets, try tenderizing the with a steak hammer (not to much) , welkes with white pepper and vinegar, mussels steamed in white wine and garlic, with a butter garnish, your mussels are a lot bigger than the UK ones, but the limpets are a lot smaller

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

I will definitely give those a try. For the first time trying the limpets and whelks i wanted to try them plain so i knew exactly what they tasted like without additional flavor. I look forward to trying some recipes next time... Thanks for the info!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank you. I'm glad i finally got to try them. I look forward to cooking them up some different ways now that i've had a chance to try them plain

[@bobberwulf_fishing]

If fishing was bad we would go get get limpet and muscles and snails and hermit crabs and cook them all together into some melted butter with some garlic .Oh yea so good! When I couldn’t find any good forgeable stuff we’d just poke pull for eels and almost always get those. It’s crazy how much food you can find with a little effort along the rocks like that.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

It’s nice having options that’s for sure! Melted butter and garlic is so simple but so delicious. I will have to try this poke pulling for eels, never done it before, sounds fun.

[@bobberwulf_fishing]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW yea bro it’s super fun, if you go down and start by the corner by the jetty store on the rocks and you could use an old broom handle or something and hammer a nail through a swivel on the end of the pole and then just use like a #2 hook with some squid on it. Don’t need more than a few inches of leader off the end. Poke in all the holes along the waterline all the way out until the tidal pool area. I haven’t had as much luck for them out on the jetty. 👍🤘

[@dynamicphotography_]

Awesome video! Inspiring me to try some new stuff! Love the variety of your videos! Looks great in 4K BTW.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank you, this was a lot of fun. I’m so glad I decided to try all these things I’ve been interested in. Sea urchin is the next on my list of new things to try. I agree on the 4K, makes a big difference!

Add seasoning to seafood to give it better flavor ! Don't forget to add butter !

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

I will definitely be adding some flavor next time. Being that this was the first time I tried them, I wanted to know exactly how they taste on their own. I look forward to the next time! Thanks for the tip

[@rachelmarylani]

Fun fun

[@toandfro2377]

Nice job nick!!! Another fun video to watch. I have also been wanting to try those as well but didn’t know if all snails were edible. It’s so hard to find limpits big enough to eat on the oregon coast. But I think based off your reaction I probably won’t try those now. I love mussels but I only harvest ones no larger than my thumb and that’s because I don’t mind eating guts and all when they are that size. Thanks for your hard work pumping out awesome videos.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate the support. It was fun to get out and try something new again. I always just come across a random big limpet or two, maybe it’s the area. Apparently they are good raw as well, so I MAY have to try it that way. I was surprised that the snails were so tasty. I definitely enjoy small mussels for that same reason, plus less work in prep, but I will eat any of them lol. Hopefully I can keep pumping out the videos, it definitely keeps me busy, but I’m also running a business so it’s a constant juggling act 😆 thanks again for the support

[@toandfro2377]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW It really is fun getting out there and harvesting your own food from the earth, and it’s free food. I have watched other youtubers eat those and even clams raw but I have always been too scared to do it because I don’t want to get sick. I like eating sushi but I guess I just don’t have the confidence to take something out of the ocean and eat it raw. I need to be with somebody showing/encouraging me to do it. I also own a small business that I do part-time plus work at another job full-time plus I have my kids with me 2-3 days every week so I completely understand being busy. I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into your videos especially with the catch-n-cooks you have been putting out lately, which are my favorite.

[@Luckyme78]

I like them grill and when it almost done put some garlic chilli oil on it . Let it cook for another minute. It delicious.

[@roboticsforfun5000]

You're missing out on the flavors of the guts of the snails. I like the challenge of getting the whole thing out and dunking in a bowl of chili vinegar mix sauce.

I’ve been so busy making and selling spinners that I’ve only had a few hours on the water so far this season. The river I pass to get to the coast wasn’t looking good unfortunately. Most Oregonians are fishing in Washington this season lol. I’m gonna try to hit it pretty hard before we start to see springers around

[@kibopangandaran]

[@rainsouthavilay5886]

Limpets are great raw or blanched instead of full on cooking

[@mauricebrown9094]

They all make great free bait for surf perch..

I still think sand fleas are the best surfperch bait

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

Which location is that? I like to day drive to Oceanside. Lost boy beach/Maxwell point tunnel. There's so many good places. Old vintage photos of people standing with a horse and buggy on that Hug Point sand stone area you can walk on. I can't believe people used it as a road.

[@WabuhWabuh]

Where are all the whelks in california? kind of strange I've never seen any in the wild when you guys are on the pacific coast & asia as tons.

How was the jetty fishing? I decided to fish for redtails in front of my place instead.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Weather went to crap so I headed home.. I did take 3 casts though lol, no fish. How was the red tail fishing?

[@xyzct]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW, whew, I made the right decision. (I was sweating that day, wondering if I passed up two 38" ling ;-) Redtail fishing was so ... relaxing. You're just standing in the small surf. No lost gear. No seaweed. No massive current changes. No slippery rocks to die on. Almost no one on the beach. It's just so peaceful. I caught a few, and took home two to eat. So it was really fun. I love perch fishing! Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE fishing at the jetty. But this was a nice change. I haven't fished for redtail for eons because the surf hasn't been below 10'-20' for a long time. I usually use an Okuma Celilo medium-light action steelhead rod for perch, which works great. I'm wondering if I should get a light action version too.

[@michellewatson5720]

He's throwing away all the good stuff.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

If I eat it all, someone complains, if I throw away guts, someone complains. To each their own

[@kimmyjohnny31]

Can someone help me find regulations on Limpets and Whelks? I cannot find them anywhere within the website of my states (Washington) fishing department shellfish regulations. I can’t even find them in unclassified species. Does this mean its unlawful to collect any? I just want to know since there are so many gigantic whelks nearby along with massive limpets, and my Korean grandparents want to try the. but they can’t find regulations anywhere.

[@jm3digital]

where is this?

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

I prefer mussels to steamer clams. I remove the beard before cooking. 15 or 20 are enough for a meal for me.

Any tricks for getting the sand out? Even after leaving them in a bucket of salt water for awhile, I still find some to be a bit sandy.

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

@@xyzct I've never really had that issue. I guess because I harvest them from rocky areas.
