Key West Creek Fishing

[@rbuenafe100]

It's kinda funny that I'm eating fried catfish when Clams decide to upload a video. All of a sudden, I want to eat what his cooking and not what I'm eating! Thanks a lot Will! I suffer from anxiety attacks and refuse to take meds. But when Will uploads a new video, it's like taking Xanax without taking Xanax. Love this dude!

[@CookingWithClams]

Fried catfish sounds kinda great though!

Another great episode 😎✌️👍

Thank you for the shears!!

I grew up fishing down there and when I seen the title I thought I might have missed a spot growing up!!😂😂😂 I didn't know you meant canal fishing! Glad I clicked reminds me of when I was a kid riding my bike!!

[@TheDrummergirl33]

That looked delicious. I like bridge fishing too. Such a fun video

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s not the most exciting but it’s high up there on fun

[@poserexposer718]

Epic plating, made a fish look like a stingray. Outstanding work.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha

[@David35445]

We surf fish stripers in the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world. We do park our lawn chairs and fish the last 3 hours of the incoming tide and 3 hours of the out going. And yes, we do catch lots of big fish. We use cut mackerel on 7/0 circle hooks and 4 ounce lead. We also change bait every 15 minutes.

[@CookingWithClams]

That’s the dedication it takes to catch fish from shore!

[@bradjones9634]

Everything looks delicious. Grunts are good. My uncle swears that Grunts and grits are a delicacy.

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ve done it on channel and yea it’s pretty fantastic

Nice gremolata, soon on a plate here 👏🏽🙋‍♀️ (and I’m still having cravings for that lovely Romesco sauce you made❤

Great video Will! You sure caught a pile of fish. Small, but a pile. The water was so clear. The RC racers are like lawnmowers in NY. Lol What a cool looking plate. The crisp on the snapper sounded amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!

I think the clear water even worked against me!

[@tomlpdx]

That looks really good, Will. I would love to see a video or two on cooking grouper in different ways. I know you guys like snapper but my favorite was grouper and gousters on the grill with lots of butter, garlic, S&P, etc. One of our favorite Sunday meals after spending the day catching them.

Keep live shrimp alive in small cheap cooler. Layers: ice, wet briny newspaper, shrimp, newspaper, ice, briny newspaper, shrimp, etc. . . They go into suspended animation. Put them on the hook they wake up when they hit the water. Didn't learn this until my late 20's. I'm 70 now. It's odd that no bait stores in North Carolina sell live shrimp.

[@CookingWithClams]

I’m gonna try this! Thank you. I’ve never heard of doing this

Coming to key west in April! I think we might stay on a house boat! Love your channel ♥️

[@CookingWithClams]

Amazing! And thank you

[@s8ang]

I have had a lot of luck lately with cut and peeled shrimp with small #1-1/0 circle hooks. If you use the whole shrimp they can pull it off, but they have no choice but to bite the hook if you use smaller peeled chucks. (The fresher the shrimp, the better)

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ll try it out

[@kristenadams13]

Oh come on with this 🔥🐠

[@adamkice7045]

Hope you slap the bass for a future video. Think it would bring in a few fish and add some fun to the video. Still a rock star & nice sauce.

Can you uncover the mystery about how all FL restaurants blackened seasoning/prep taste amazing and then I go back north and can’t even come close to duplicating…….there must be some restaurant hack/secret because I have tried no Less than a dozen blackened seasonings and still can’t duplicate.. Starting right at Hogfish grill….lol. Their blackened seasoning preparation is world class.

[@CookingWithClams]

What have you used? What oil, what pan and what heat?

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Buy the seasoning, dip the fish in melted butter, coat thoroughly with seasoning, hot pan with neutral oil, prepare for smoke, and your done.

Nice Video sir. Can I get you to think about conservation in the future? Next time maybe don't let that Black Grouper hit the pavement, it's hot and terrible for his skin.
