Well done Smash returning that purse. That will have made the owner very happy and also set a fine example for other people to follow. You are an all round good egg.

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Well done smash for returning the purse, your honesty does you credit.

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks mate

[@ericahenderson7262]

When you been watching Smash Fishing so long that you say to yourself “oh that’s going into cook pot.”

[@bohemoth1]

We, meaning the young boys of my church and myself recently went foraging for CRAYFISH (CRAWFISH), Crabs and Lobsters off of one of the islands of Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 Crawfish is considered an invasive species. We bought some GUERNSEY BUTTER from a store named MARSHALLS along with some seafood spices. One of the kids bought along his fishing rod and we took turns fishing and we all caught Bass, Red Snapper and Porgies. We cooked everything right on the beach and everyone shouted HELL YEAH!

[@smiffysmiff2165]

I find myself saying "woooo" at the end of most sentences now 💪🤣

[@mialily206]

Lol

[@doctaGeorge]

you'll be saying "hell yeeeeah" next... *facepalm

[@carriehalsey2443]

Me too 😂

[@samsambelfast]

It’s great you returned the purse

[@TheMerlin672]

Hi, it's the local philistine here. I don't bother with a plate at the end of cooking, I just get stuck in as soon as the baking tray hits the table! Razors are great, even baked on the beach in a disposable barbie.

[@debrabolton9372]

When I was a kid my aunt would take my mom, me, and her five children to Jones Beach on Long Island, NY to dig for steamers. I think that they are equivalent to your gaper clams. They were delicious to eat so they told me. They were not on my menu. lol! I have fond memories of those days. Nice razor clam catch! Be well!

[@SMASHFISHING]

Haha it’s great you have memories like that !

[@RecklessHS]

Was about to go to sleep but got the notification. I had to watch straight away I've got my priorities straight. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@TheVoyagers.]

Fantastic! Do you ever see anyone else on the beach at night when you are out foraging?

[@SMASHFISHING]

Yeah sometimes , I have my own little spots so it’s rare for people to come round

[@redwingrob1036]

DAVY Jones...WOOO ! 😨☠️🌊

[@timothyjohnston6314]

Those razor clams look delicious. It’s fascinating to watch how they rise up out of the sand like that. I like the clam forages. Catch you on the next one 👍🇨🇦

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks Timothy, it is great fun catching razors , makes me feel like a kid again lol

Happy Easter Smash Fam!

Best foraging channel in my opinion !! Thanks Smash.

[@SMASHFISHING]

Legend ! Thanks mate

[@Mraazer69]

Yes mate just chilling out on the boat. Fitted a diesel heater in it this weekend so loving this with some nice warmth.

[@jackofalltrades8353]

I just cooked some razor clams a week ago. Bought at market so all the sand was already purged out of them. Cleaned and cut into bite-size pieces rolled them in some cornstarch fried them until about 70% done and then stir fried them into an Asian theme sweet and sour over rice.yummy

[@billbyrnes4703]

In the states Gaper clams are called Steamer clams. Most often served with drawn butter . They are smaller on the north east coast but really great tasting . On the west coast I had Geoduck which are gigantic ( up to a pound) they are served in sushi restaurants. It’s interesting how similar clams are world wide.

[@THEWATCHER4670]

or as surf bait we call it shore clams🎣!!!

[@redwingrob1036]

DRAWN butter? Please explain.

[@billbyrnes4703]

@@redwingrob1036 melted butter served in small bowls for dipping the meat of the clam

[@billbyrnes4703]

Popular. In New England area of the US

[@philipphilip2336]

Have gone razor fishing with salt but when salt was scarce used thick wire hook to push down the keyhole wiggle around and go through the body and pull up slowly. Trouble was they they had to be washed properly to get any grit out.

[@SMASHFISHING]

That’s interesting! Thanks

[@lovedaybebe5881]

Remember having them barbaqued in Spain. So sweet and yummy. Happy Easter 🐤

[@SMASHFISHING]

Nice !

[@dd3623]

I use to cook Razor Clams in this way: stream with glass noodles, garlic soya sauce soak the glass noodles in warm water (not hot water) for 15--- 30 minutes until they gets soft. split Razor clams in the middle, keep both sides with shell. clear uneatable part away. sauce part: fried garlic, then turn off. mix it with 2 soup spoons light soya sauce ( go to Asia suppermarket get the one names"Pearl River" better),put a little bit white pepper and sugar. then, a little bit glass noodles on top of the razor clams, put the sauce on top of the glass noodles. then, steam for a few minutes. enjoy.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Great video again fella. Best catch and cook on KZbin. WOO!

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks mark much appreciated mate

[@lawrencemacd63]

Hi Sam I used the old wire coat hanger by straightening it & turn up the end into 1/2 inch hook so to easily push it down a I little turn so to pull the razor clams up or use the tub of salt into the keyhole have you tried the coat hanger method 🤔🎣🐟

[@SMASHFISHING]

I haven’t tried the coat hanger method but I will try sometime

[@lawrencemacd63]

@@SMASHFISHING it’s a quick way to fill your bucket then have a cook up some garlic butter & pepper no need for salt 😁😁

[@feelagain001]

so happy to see this vid! it's so enjoyable to watch the razors coming out of the sand. heading down to Cornwall in the summer and love to take the kids for some clam foraging. any tips on nice beaches for razors?

[@Tom-np3en]

There are 2 beaches on the Queensland coast where the pipis a bivalve that lives on the water line. When you drive on the beach it is like driving on cobblestones, absolute thousands of them

[@PandorasDelight]

Hey Smash, when you use foil try shiny side facing in not out as it holds the head a lot better

Love the clam cooks so relaxing! Have you ever tried making clam chowder with them?🤔😄😄👍

[@SMASHFISHING]

I haven’t tried that yet but do plan to 👍

[@stuart207]

I was told if you put some porridge oatmeal in the water its irritating to the shellfish and they clean themselves out quicker. Great video Jay 👍

[@SMASHFISHING]

Yes that is another way of purging 👍

[@TorsteinFla]

Cracking forage mate. Have a great day, cheers brother

[@gregward2186]

Great on a BBQ very hot quick and fast then off then a warm lemon butter put over them can't beat it good to see bud great vid

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Love your vids, I need more time to watch everything I love though. Looking at that butter reminded me of my childhood and growing up on Guernsey cow milk, cream and home-made butter. Nice and rich. The seafood, beautiful... having lived in a very small port town, down here in Aus, was second to none I'd had before or since moving away.

[@ivancho5854]

Wow! Brilliant video. 🇬🇧👍👍

[@mrsnow61]

You missed best part: crusty bread dipped in the sauce.

[@SMASHFISHING]

To true ! I’ll get some next time

[@redwingrob1036]

CRUSTY brown bread.

[@mine929]

you gotta cook the gaper clams in a chowder or soup, thats what they're best for.

[@Herknungr]

I love this kinda mix you do of neolthic/paleolithic gathering and cook with modern methods.

another good video cant beat razor clams keep up the good videos

[@davidb.7093]

The salt method looks great fun, reminds of U-boat's up periscope. As per usual we don't get razor clams around London so we make do with watching you eat them

[@colingontier7697]

Great footage and great cook up. Is there a size limit on the Razors.

[@SMASHFISHING]

4 inches I believe, they are really not worth taking any smaller then that

[@joshward1148]

Make a salty brine for razor clams, it goes down there burrows easier than dry salt

[@SMASHFISHING]

I have done that in the past , I may do they in another video

[@bigtmillhill7319]

Mix a salty solution with salt and sea water in a fairy liquid bottle and squirt in the hole, they pop out much quicker

[@Fishingletsgo]

This was surprisingly interesting! great video!

Grabs a razor clam “yoink” That is the exact sound effect for pulling out razor clams.

[@tonymyers733]

That razor clam looks so good I wonder if I could buy some here in the Midwest America

[@tonyoliver4920]

I’ve asked for this a few times, so happy you finally made this video. I’m surprised they didn’t react to the sauce... did you put them in the freezer the night before? When I was little we would salt them on a low tide. They sometimes drop part of the foot as self defence. We would eat that on the beach, raw, sashimi style and release the clam. I was about 8

[@vajazzlerthis]

Great video looks delicious
