GIANT CLAMS Catch and COOK! Coastal Foraging, Niantic River Connecticut!

We find hundreds of big clams in waist deep water in the Niantic River in Connecticut! We use a special clam rake to rake them out of the mud! I then meet you back in my kitchen in Florida to have a seafood boil! Where we cook up clams, lobsters, shrimp, and a bunch of other stuff! Easy and fun meal to have with family and friends!

Awww, this video is awesome! It has grandma in it. So many great times you’ve shared with us where grandma was present. I miss her with her crab traps. Continue to Rest In Peace grandma and know that us viewers miss you too.❤️🤗

[@kingstonstreet3726]

I’m in new haven and I didn’t know we have that but I’m here to support you

[@Hunter-fs1nj]

I like Brook's energy, she seems really kind but down to earth.

[@lararosevelt545]

Love the family dinners. Your grandmother is so sweet.

[@jeffcummings5688]

This was my favorite episode not only raking clams but having cookouts with your whole family.Just Awesome and very special!

[@johntsakos2983]

I think Brook did so well. I love how you cook and catch and clean all your meals and your always having family time. That’s amazing

[@aqualife88]

I love how soft spoken your mom is! I feel like I can never see her angry haha

[@shantemcfarlane428]

Looks delish

[@littleblitz8239]

Plain and simple down to earth Brook that loves what she does Can't ask for much more. Victor you're a very lucky man.

[@scottedwards33]

Raking is hard work. More fun in the summer to stomp the mud and pick them up when you feel one with your feet. Used to do that in Southern NJ.

[@sharoncollier4679]

Just saw that your grandmother passed away....so sorry. I always enjoyed seeing her on your videos. I loved that she still enjoyed crabbing. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

[@livingstonem.4829]

Nice video brook, it was entertaining to watch!!!!!

[@lauravel8039]

I can say literally that I've watched all of Viks and your videos. Found you first but took of with Viks channel until I reached where you started to do vids and just started to go back and forth between you guys and boy I can say I've learned so much by watch both of you guys cook. I try to like most videos and if I forget I try to go back but hey if I miss some just know I wish I could like ALL of them . Kinda wish I would have found you guys sooner but hey glad I'm subscribed to you, Vik and fisher. All of you guys are just great and are just helping me get through alot. This is what I long for , just being out, educated and just create great experiences with family and friends and you guys are just that motivation. Thank you so much for these amazing videos. Keep it up . 🧡🖤🧡🖤

[@liztaylor7787]

It's Sunday 2/25/24, I woke up really early and fell back to sleep to dream about clamming. So, I Google to look for the video to see the location I dreamt about. The 1st video was not it. Then this video with this river in Connecticut a place I have never heard of. I will be watching to see what becomes of this place in the future on the news. I will document this in my journal to note this entry. Enjoyed the video.

[@tomm2812]

Brook et al, takes me back several decades to a clam bake on the beach. As young teen that clam bake impressed me for life. Still mouthwatering. Best

[@JR-dt6xz]

Sorry dad not gonna be the same as brook cooking she goes the extra in making my mouth water! 200k subscribers go brook go!

[@stevegiblin270]

Wow! What a meal ! I will be right down. Hope you had a good time in NEW England! STEVE From Boston.

[@imnov9346]

hlo folower from hongkong indonesia dear nice video ilike very much this sefood yummy Thanks for sharing god bless you and your family

[@skorpian34]

I hope you and family try cooking up some of those large snails sometime as it's good bi-catch to make use of. You might get hooked. And with your ability to find, alter and create great recipes you'd hone in on a few ways to enjoy. Escargot with garlic cheese and more. My step dad was Scottish and loved to buy 'Winkles' from the market, cook a large batch then soak em in the brine in the fridge overnight. We would all have a bowl ful the next day and use sewing pins to remove the foot then remove the snail from the shell. It was alot of fun. I brought a container full to school for show and tell and handed everyone pins to try the snails. Everyone was properly grossed out, then ALL tried them and most enjoyed them. I miss those days.

[@parmodsharma4576]

I love that you show how to cook after you fish. But was expecting clam chowder although my mouth watered to eat this. Thanks!

[@bobbyhuggins2108]

Got 2 bones to pick with you Brookie. 1) I DIDN'T GET MY INVITE 2) Grandma needs to be on camera more. We love her and your family. They all are a blessing..thanks for sharing...

I love this video. Seafood boil is one of the memories I made for my family. I don't live near the sea so had to get everything from the store. Oh so good and fun for the family. Yum! Good job Brooke!

Being land locked, we always love a good boil missing some crawfish and mussels but it really does look fantastic and yummy. Love the videos from you and vic !!!

Anything that’s worth it comes with great effort.❤

[@teresabowers2462]

Brook we will get along well I love doing that catching clams back home every time I go home that's the first thing I do but we have to wait till the tides go low, we lives by the beach ,yes it's fun doing that I would be doing that all day long. Thanks for sharing

Good job enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting. Have a great Thanksgiving 💜♥️

[@shielataylor9423]

You do your seafood boil almost like we do. The only differences are we use Cajun crab boil and add several oranges along with the lemons.

[@Ramfadora]

Looks so enjoyable stuff. Those clamps are so mouth watering.

[@Mander1309]

Come to Louisiana we can definitely boil that for you.

[@clifforddeschaine6346]

Whilst watching you rake, I realised, that I was sitting completely still, because I didn’t want you to lose your great spot. 🤣🤣🤣 and I’m salivating.

[@bretthibbs6083]

when i was a teen living on the west coast of florida I used to go to John's pass in madeira beach and there was a restaurant there that made out of this world baked clams casino and i loved them.

[@longhorn44jc]

I admire your spunk and determination. However, this does not look like fun. The boat and warm weather looks a lot better. Keep it up. You have renewed my interest in KZbin fishing shows.

We're on the opposite side of the country, but I learned over the last few weeks that we have the most productive lobster fishery on the entire west coast (Santa Barbara, CA.) I grew up fishing the waters there and had no idea.

[@reneuy8103]

Hi Brook. It is so nice to watch you and your family enjoying clam for a dinner. I have been watching your and Victor's videos for quiet sometime now and i must say I enjoyed it very much. I am from the Philippines and i was watching you and your family eating the clams, etc on the table, i was reminded of the way we eat that way back here in the Philippines especially when we are with our friends or families. We call it a Booodle fight way of eating. We would cook variety of food and after which we will set it on top of the table and we all eat standing with our bare hands, and i guarantee we enjoyed it. 😊 You can watch thru the net and learn how it is prepsred. Enjoy❤

[@marinayuson9500]

Wow that’s nice place I love clam so many see foods

[@PPerformanceTech]

New sub. Amazing . At start , I wasn’t expecting it to be enough food for everyone

[@celineperret4331]

Hi! It’s look delicious ! Perhaps 2 little things: First: put yours mushrooms into water with vinegar to clean them. Second : you should use the cook jus to make a good sauce very easily : take 2 spoons of corn flour (or classic flour if you don.t have) and ad it in a glass of cold water ( important to not make some grumeaux) . Take some cooking jus, ad the water with flour, some piment d.espelette, and put it on strong fire but never stop turning it. If you’re not it’s can burn... when it’s became more thick, it’s good ! Kiss from France !

[@eveschannelm748]

I love watching y'all videos. Even though I don't like clams I still would want to learn so I can make it for family members... thank you for sharing 💖💜💚💛💙💖💜💚💛💙

Great family bonding. I feel relax watching this video and also i love picking sea shell..

[@michaellacey7303]

The only easy way I have found to "bring my clams" with me after a vacation stay has been to steam them, then take the open mostly cooked clams and freeze them and use the broth you just steamed them in as the liquid. Make basically a clam ice block and you can bring your catch with you. But the down side is it limit what you can do with them later. We mostly eat them raw they day we catch them or make chowder if we cook them. Good video, really shows the workout that clamming is. Keep it up you two.
