Low Tide Foraging: Catch and EAT RAW Horseneck and Washington Clams

Had one of the most rewarding trips out with Taku and his girlfriend. We went clamming, and caught some nice Horseneck and Washington clams, as well as some cockles and softshell clams. We then foraged for some seaweed and Taku prepared TWO different amazing clam sashimi dishes for us. We then finished off with cooked clams over bread. This has got to be one of the best tasting catch and eat/cooks I've done.

What a day we had man! Watching your video and reliving it, just makes me want to get back out there and do it all over again!

[@hebahmustafa1163]

You got a new sub!

[@tonytan0]

Now you need to do a video with Fisherman’s Life. And I’ll be a happy camper

[@constantcomment1954]

Taku, I have gone clamming my whole life and have an interest in food and taken cooking classes. Everything looked beautiful except why would you not scrub those clams in water before introducing all that sand inside of them with the knife when cutting them open? The inside meat got sandy so you have to rinse it, losing all of the beautiful briny natural clam juice. The ones that had smashed shells it is understandable to rinse the meat but for the intact ones it was not necessary! Still love you though.

[@anthonyvincent5154]

Outdoor Chef Life when can we expect this from your perspective 😉like on your channel ?

[@dohpe-]

"Knife is Life" BOOM!

[@Skapearts]

you and fishermans life have similarities in tones and how soothing both your voices are. If fishermans life's is what i watch before falling asleep calmly then yours is what i wake up to in the morning to start a new day. LOL, nice vid

[@littleman8674469]

I think that they're kin to each other

[@joevergara1433]

YUM!!!!! It appears like those clams prepared by Taku would cost AT LEAST $25 per plate here in our part of the Mid West!!!! The last dish says it all....you don't have to go to the fanciest restaurant to enjoy.....just catch them yourself and eat and enjoy with the beauty of nature!!!!!! Awesome video!!!!

[@icytrash]

Very nice...! Glad to wake up in the morning to see this video!

[@HyBrad]

Lol, "looks like a little...... elephant trunk."

[@Ms_Tania]

'Elephant trunk' was definitely not what came to my mind .

[@constantcomment1954]

Brad, what were you thinking it looked like? You poor thing, I am a senior citizen and nowadays there are creams for that.

[@jacobcapistran5863]

readthisbadly somebody had to say it lol

[@kgarcia5185]

Hahaha i was saying . Little tiny..

[@mryang3644]

Thats what she said

[@WadeBaune]

One tip for clamming- never wear rubber boots. Save a pair of old shoes and tie them as tight as you can stand. The water is only cold for a short time. Love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@philosophyd]

Thanks for the comment and the tip, Wade!

[@Jpw333]

Wade Baune why? I’m very curious Idk why you’d make that suggestion without and explanation

[@WadeBaune]

Jack Walsh Hi Jack, when your clamming and it’s muddy, the mud tends to pull off your boots.

[@Jpw333]

Wade Baune ahhhh okay that makes perfect sense. Thanks for replying Wade I appreciate it God bless

[@iBcPirate]

Thanks Wade that makes a lot of sense. I thought Taku was crazy because he appears to be wearing white sneakers at 1:20!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Very cool... this is what it is all about! Now, I want to get some clams. Its on the bucket list. Taku nice work!

[@kaiv340]

[@jordanneelaine4511]

[@Arion894]

Amazing! loving clam and shellfish foraging, cook and eat! Hope you can make more of those videos for us :)

[@Broxty]

[@Idklolblahboahblalayyyuyhhh]

You have the best personality 😩💕

[@benlastname7154]

I've seen people with PVC pipes they push into the ground real deep and take the clam out with it really well, not sure if it's for a specific type of clam but I resorted to digging after hitting a few with the shovel

[@blissfuldw]

Razor clams are harvested this way

[@sickofeverything6413]

Looks like an awesome day out there on the coast D. Great video bro.

[@fishsalmon8747]

Lol, on rarely see duplicates among YT vids, but this and Outdoor Chef Lifes ditto really are the same. Good vid though. I’d love to have a ocean to go foraging by! :)

[@joeyalexandrejoeycr8813]

Thank you for your videos brother!!!

[@davidmarble9090]

Now thats a catch and cook. To catch game, cook it, and it be resturaunt quality is the ultimate fishing trip. Fire vid and i got a new channel to watch!!!👍👍👍

[@mrbrownkayumangi]

Good job catching clams guys! Very good size clams. What is the name of the beach where you harvest those clams?

[@philosophyd]

In Northern CA, some popular places to go are Half Moon Bay, Bodega Bay, and Lawson's landing. Good luck if you try it - it's fun!

[@racetek82]

Daaaamn Daniel, now I’m hungry! Grrrr hahahaha, great video as always bro!

[@Iroxinping]

Jocelyn is the best Clammer and CamGirl i've ever seen....and i am OLD and watched a LOT of Monty Python....so that obvious innuendo is VERY much meant as a compliment to her skills ;) and as a funny bit of humor :D those places where you got stuck....that is from NOT FILLING YOUR HOLES.....fill your holes.....otherwise they are devoid of the life needed to keep the silt stable. 10m not productive......so jocelyn hit her limit lol ROTFLMAO

[@ishwithfish]

grubbin! fun vid man, who knew all that good stuff was in all that muck lol. well i guess taku did.

[@philosophyd]

Was definitely fun man. Can't wait to see what you got in store.

[@gman3810]

Love your videos bro! This video is exactly why I subed!

[@oly1239]

Best video yet! Great catch and cook! Looks delicious! But in Washington we call those gooey ducks! Not Washington clams or horseneck clams lol! But Awesome vid bro bro!

[@ya.muvaaa2037]

Came from *Outdoor Chef Life* 🔥 You got a new sub 🙂🔔

[@sparco813]

I expect 4+ dishes in next catch n cook don’t disappoint

[@chhengr]

Go to lawsons landing (tomatoes bay) During the low super low tides you will easily get horesneck clams 2-3 sizes bigger than the ones you caught.

[@chhengr]

Tomales Bay*

[@Deedot1028]

Lawsons is in dillion beach

[@mryang3644]

Tomatoes 🤣🤣😂😂

[@Michelle-ib9no]

Cool Video.!! Original Stuff!!

[@FirstStreetTV]

Thought it was one of them ocean cats

[@MrYoonKim]

Can't wait to do this on my own one day

[@belongsingkeo7401]

Pre soak your clams in cold water and the necks will stretch out 3x longer and you’ll get more meat off of them . Great video!

[@mrprice2275]

Thanks for the upload click on the vid soon as I seen it

Ohayo!!!! (Good morning)!!!!

iDareDevils I’m going to take the easy route and head to H-Mart for clams today! 😂

[@JJMRJORDANJR]

Nice looks good too Now im hungry

[@Martin_Jou]

I'm so hungry now but it's 4:43 in Canada and my roommate will kill me if I wake him up while cooking something up 😅😥😅

[@rustynails113]

You are welcome to come to my home on the Olympic Peninsula in NW Washington state, but be sure to bring your Chef. Great vid!!!

[@rolandfero9742]

The clams shouldn't have been crunchy ...I believe if you put them into a bucket of fresh saltwater for an hour or so, they will expell the sand and grit inside them...for alot cleaner meat.

[@redorange7912]

Get the word out.

[@chau_time]

They mean crunchy in the way cartilage is crunchy. The clam was already cut open and rinsed, so it wasn’t sand that they were talking about.

[@rolandfero9742]

@@chau_time well, clams dont have cartlidge. You can see the sand and grit on them as Taku was cleaning them. Trust me, put clams and mussels in a bucket of clean salt water for at least 2 hrs before eating....less grity taste. Longer if you can, and change the water...they expell the sand and is much better. That's what I do.

[@chau_time]

@@rolandfero9742 I have eaten raw clams prepared correctly and they are crunchy. Similar to tendon. It’s funny to me that you think a professional sushi chef like Taku wouldn’t know how to clean raw clams.

[@rolandfero9742]

@@chau_time I think he just didn't have the time for it.... I never had a crunchy raw clam...chewy, yes...

[@fisherprice499]

Damn the food looks really great... Feelin pretty jealous of you guys right now...

[@katttham]

I would love to do this one day. Love cooking! Looks amazing!

[@mryang3644]

"Saw it Squirt ? " lol

[@madamcrimsononi6623]

I wish I could do this but alas thats long gone ! It looks like you had a blast. I am curious though what is that blue mark on your one friends arm ?

[@user-rz2ck2zi5r]

washington has some nice razor clams, next time you should try going for those.

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

if you want big ones, head over to Lawson landing and bring a inflatable boat.. its very cheap to get one. no need to worry about getting stuck. i walked barefoot on the mud flats.. like walking on the beach. i've seen people walking to the mud flats but you better know exactly where the shallow path are which are only accessible during super low minus tides.

[@kito1san]

Have to be careful trying to cross over there. There were many, who lost their lives thinking they can swing over and looks like a short distance. The problem is the water is cold and the current is strong. People never made it to the other side, cramped up and drowned. Stay safe and use common sense out there. Also, did i mention there are sharks in there too? Not sure if any reported of attacks, but nice size ones are lurking beneath.

[@zeldanrj3]

Now I gotta go buy sourdough bread and garlic, olive oil.. Thanks D 😜

This looks so fun.

[@davidbash487]

Best catch and cook ever Dan!! Sorry Matts.

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

be careful when digging down with your bare hands - the gaper clam are very sharp near the openings.

[@stephencgr5228]

Nice sea food

[@dohpe-]

Taku sent me to tag this up! "Knife is Life"

[@lazydayz8362]

Awesome video! Just be careful eating shellfish in the summer months. Red tide is a killer. No joke!

[@bostonmass7679]

Bro you should use the guts and trash from the clams and shellfish for crab bait!

[@Keyit0]

Wow my dream beaches, great vid, what city is this place near to?

[@ethanmadden8281]

good video bro

[@debnadon8900]

We all know what those clams look like huh 😎

[@Gudrunst123]

Is it safe to eat clams and mussels during this time of the year? Saw an advisory that PSP levels are high right now.

[@philosophyd]

Make sure to check the regulations in your local area. For example, PSP levels are shown to be high in Half Moon Bay, CA, but not in Bodega Bay, CA (for clams). Mussels are still on advisory in most places I believe, although I haven't checked too recently.

[@preiudeh22a]

I'm eating a bag of ruffle chips with some ranch dip. Damnit Im hungry for sushi now, that looks so good! omg

[@reelfishing002]

Ever thought about making some DIY snow shoes to help you distribute your weight so you don’t get stuck , you might have to look it up , since there’s probably no snow in your area .

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- awesome video like always

[@KUSHIEbudz420]

I actually found philosophy d channel from outdoor chefs Channel

[@leooh5697]

You guys don't purge the clams to get rid of the sand?

[@kito1san]

There's no need for this type. Its big enough and the edible part has no sand if they was it properly.

[@coyotealejandro1976]

I love your videos and Taku’s too. Hey I want to ask you do you need a license for clams?

[@ToysRUsKid76]

Yes.

[@michelleleighty9302]

Taku how often do you go out foraging for these different kinds of clams i want to see more videos on how you can tell where one is , i couldn't see what you guys saw before you dug them up

[@almeidacheang7853]

nice seafood yummy
