Catch & Cook : Butter Clams in Washington

[@cerberus6654]

When I lived for a while in the Dominican Republic I remember spending a Saturday on some long empty beach near the border with Haiti and these local guys I came across who were so welcoming - we dug up clams, caught crabs and finally some kind of perch caught in a small river in these woven cane cages they had - and then later in the day everything was boiled up in a big cauldron they had brought with rice boiled in another pot. They added the juice of wild limes, some local herbs and salt they brought. I produced a big bottle of Brugal rum which I had in the car and the mood was perfect. One guy invited me to spend the night with his family in their very simple banana leaf and coconut leaf thatched hut in their little hamlet. I had brought my tent but they wouldn't hear of it. The next day I drove back to Santo Domingo and my high pressured job thinking 'that day, and that food and those simple good people who were so kind to an utter stranger, this, this I will never forget".

Should keep in touch!

When we get fresh clam in the Philippines, my mom let the clam soak in salt water. So that the clams will spit out the sand inside of them. So that when you eat ,your not eating the sand too.

[@kmoecub]

In the PNW (wher this video was filmed) we do the same, but with some oatmeal in the water to encourage the clams to feed.

[@SelenQuintero]

Dude this guy is living the best life....I’m inspired to be like this!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

nice shovel ;) no worries she'll sharpen back up easy with a file . I dont bother with sharpening the bottom very often any way just the side I use for cutting

[@jimmygimbal]

Dude!! Wtf! How did you even end up here hahaha that’s so awesome. My brother loves your channel. He’s gonna flip!!!! I’m texting him right now.

[@AviaryBirdsAndCo]

I still come back and watch this video after a year, love the catch and cook videos!

[@TappingintoYourSoul]

Wow that was AMAZING! Moving out to Vancouver Island in August and I love love love shellfish. Will be so much fun and BETTER catching and cooking on the shore. ❤ This video rocked thank you!

[@adinrigland]

I love the way how you appreciate the simple meal you’ve got there 👌

[@dn52n56]

I taught my dog how too dig em up for me. did a great job. My dog and i ate a bunch for lunch butter and garlic was great. I use to just head out to the parks and tie up on the bouy's then row too shore and let my dog sniff em out. then i would help by digging them up..

[@candioverhuls1003]

Pretty flower, gorgeous scenery, looks tasty, nice blue shirt. Looked like the perfect day. Thanks for sharing.

[@thecook8964]

Just did this out on Whidbey, but took along water, instant dashi, miso, tofu in a baggie, pre-sliced green onions & seaweed to throw in with fresh clams. Also yummy. Beer is good as a drink, or you can cook clams in beer which is tasty for a chg.

[@michaelbur8776]

Great video. I know how hard you work at the filming. You deserve a lot more viewers. You definitely put your work in. Well done.

[@TheTurtleGirl]

mmmm the best way to do it! catch and cook right there on the water...nothing beats getting your hands dirty and rummaging around the mud for clams lol

[@jimmygimbal]

So yummy :)

[@TurboFish]

That sound saved my butt a few times. Love that sound buddy!

[@jamesdriscoll9405]

If you set the live clams in clear salt water, right out of the bay, they will relax and pump a lot of the sand out of their interiors.

[@Kenny-8327]

Yep should purge in ocean water

[@jensennusbaum69]

Never fails, any kind of clam, oyster or mussel.

[@Shayna11NM]

I've never purged or cooked any sort of bivalve. I've heard to use saltwater, but with cornmeal added as an irritant. Any thoughts? I'm in the desert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA so it's not something I run into much.

[@kristeelrod3367]

You might not have had your fill, but think how happy you made those two gentlemen. You are the winner here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@TheCaphits]

Wow. I'm hungry for clam! That's amazing where they live. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimmygimbal]

Grab a Jetboil (the pot I cooked in) used in the video, they're amazing! : amzn.to/2WnmS1B

[@ryanetheus]

Sad that you are leaving Washington and wont be doing any more catch and cooks, I love watching them and your nature hikes. What kind of content do you think you will doing in Ohio?

[@jimmygimbal]

ryanetheus I will still do some nature things. More river dives hopefully. Explore native darters which are some of my fav fish. Always something to do :)

[@ryanetheus]

@@jimmygimbal Cool, I will look forward to it!

[@sarge32]

Swhiskey hey mate great vid as always. I upgraded my JetBoil Flash to their MiniMo, it has a regulator so you can get very low and fine adjustment. Well worth the money and you shouldn’t have issues selling your old one. Cheers!

[@lyzsnyder7942]

Swhiskey I LOVE crystal sauce. I only know of one other person that uses that. Saying hello from Syracuse, NY

[@tastyfishsauce4410]

Darn it! I didn't get to experience clamming while living in Seattle. Thanks for sharing vids like these Jimmy. Outdoor activity in Washington is awesome indeed. Used to live by Seward Park and those Blue Angels used literally to pass over our head every 10 minutes on summer.

[@marca4701]

Looked so relaxing. Awesome videos man.

[@Trystiansky]

I just moved back to Birch Bay/Blaine in Washington a week ago. Been away for two years, and can't wait to harvest some fresh clams. (New England) Clam chowder is my favorite. I'll make a huge pot of it, and share it with all my neighbors. Can't wait. Happy to be back next to the water. I missed the salt water smell in the air. Sadly, the cottonwood blooms are killing me right now. Keep up the great vids. -Trystian

[@jimmygimbal]

If I only knew how to make that chowder part. :(

[@Trystiansky]

@@jimmygimbal It's easy and delicious. Bacon, onions, potatoes, butter, heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, garlic, and of course the clams. I also add a dash of nutmeg. It's too bad that I can't harvest clams right now due to red tide in our area.

[@jersoncapsa6948]

How is it possible that those clams are just sitting in one spot?! I'm just amazed!!

[@wasankari]

Fun sweet little video, thank you from the Olympic Peninsula!

[@JoeStackSJC]

Some lightly toasted rustic bread dipped in the broth would be amazing, you should try it sometime.

[@didier55744]

You should try eating it just like that . Rinse them with fresh water then open them up and squeeze some lemon that's it delicious

[@herlynmaemagan4576]

Nice. There’s a lot here in Ph. Hope you could visit next time.

[@raymondnagel5431]

Ok, you made me bite my monitor, but it tasted great. I was stationed at Whidbey Is from 1970 to 1975 and loved fishing near Deception Pass. This video brought me back. Thanks.

Excellent video!Thank you for sharing.

[@TheAngellaly]

The 3 In -1 coffee is such a good tip! It’s delish- don’t underestimate it because it’s instant.

Wow, may I know the location where are you at to pick those clams, so fun. Thanks

[@jimmygimbal]

Ben Ure Spit, WA

[@kurtsloop2462]

I wonder if that little cafe on the Whidbey side of the Deception Pass bridge is still there. I love that place.

[@jimmygimbal]

Is it the seafood/shrimp one?

[@kurtsloop2462]

@@jimmygimbal not sure. Its been a while since Ive been there...it used to sit just off the road between north beach and the bridge. Two of my kids just moved to Olympia and Im thinking about heading up to The Oak Harbor area when I visit.

So lucky that you have a place thats abundant of clams❤

If the Ranger finds you are over-limit... that's what the fighter jets are for. I miss walking Washington's beaches. Butter, wine and garlic - the three basic food groups.

[@cynthiadameron1399]

You could figure out a way to raise the wok from the flame to help with the over heating - maybe a coat hanger?

[@jimmygimbal]

Right? I mean it’s no big deal. I’m using it in a way it’s not supposed to be used but I could come up with a few things in the future. :)

I wonder if after you're done eating if you can crush those shells up and toss em in a shrimp tank to raise the calcium levels.

[@sgirl82997]

If you put a little bit of oil in with the butter it stops it from burning as fast with could help if you can’t control the temperature very well :)

The location is Ben Ure Spit. But it’s closed for clamming currently. Go to Double Bluff Beach instead. Make sure to check Shellfish Safety Map. Google it.

Your best bet is to google “Washington Shellfish Safety Map”it changes every so often but keep checking the green spots. That is where it is safe and most likely the place to go. But double check if it’s not someone’s backyard first Hahaa
