ITS FORAGING SEASON ! Abalone Catch & Cook

[@Cthomas5678]

lol I’m 63 years old and have never seen anyone toast a bun like that!! Genius buddy! Thanks I’ve never ate it before but it looks so good! You are so lucky to be able to get the freshest seafood I’m jealous here in cold and snowy Indiana ❤

[@SMASHFISHING]

Haha thanks very much for watching

[@johnarnell4241]

That looks cold on the hands.

[@gregormcnee2370]

Do you get Orma's in The Orkney Islands? I'd never heard of them till I started following your awesome Awesomeness channel. Love from Kirkwall, The Orkney Islands Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@lincoln5310]

That's how reheat day old pizza

[@SploogeonGoogle-sl6wh]

​@@SMASHFISHINGyou're doing a great job finding the catch, no disrespect you are not cooking wrong. It just seems like a waste to not do the best with such great ingredients. This is how I would cook if shellfish flowed out of a faucet.

[@SuperShavana]

hi from new zealand over here we call them paua my favourite way to cook them is to mince them with some bacon and onions and add a egg then make them into patties so yummy

[@papatrad3458]

I need this. Had to put my 14 year old dog down last Thursday and have been waiting on a new SMASHIN video!!! Thanks for the upload.

[@SMASHFISHING]

Sorry to hear mate

[@CT.2712]

Sorry for your loss It’s a horrible thing to go through I lost my first dog in 2019 and watching all these channels helped me a lot through that time 5 months ago I lost my other dog its hard you get use to them alway being there and being part of your daily routine, I scattered both my dogs ashes in the sea so I try get out fishing but I also find KZbin is a good distraction

[@papatrad3458]

@@CT.2712 I'm sorry also, for your hard time. Thank you.

[@papatrad3458]

I get my boy's ashes back today.

[@lincoln5310]

Sorry for your loss 🙏

[@katrineroberts4084]

Co,d hands and feet,wind and rain and quick editing to give happiness to many. We love you Jay. Happy new year

[@xlr8436]

Tip for the abalone gauges: You can do them from the bottom if you’ve already popped them off the rocks. Where I live, the rules are to measure them before removing (but always good to double check!)

[@JimDog794]

I've never had abalone before. They look very tasty the way you cooked them. Here in Chesapeake Bay we have oysters, clams and mussels. Nice video.😁👍

[@DukeRaoul-69]

Whoop! Ormer season starts! How time flies!

[@browndog9402]

I was just thinking the same thing, it feells like i was just watching an ormer video, happy new year.

[@cavemanbadbones1568]

11:11 you did NOT just tickle an Ormer! That cracked me up NGL 😂

[@SMASHFISHING]

😂😂🙈

[@HAVENNATER]

Once I saw him tickle it. I went straight to the comments 😂😂

[@cavemanbadbones1568]

Hey mate! Hello from across the pond from Denver Colorado!! Can you sell some the ormer shells on your merch shop. Lot of us crafty people would love to make things out of your ormer shells. Plus you could sign some of them and charge more! Let your FANS know k! Great content for years son, great job!! This old fart looks forward to your vids. Peace to you and yours.

[@eileensorensen2414]

YES!!!! GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK & ORMERING!!!!

[@carolinelloyd1858]

Yayyyy 🎉 I love when it's your 'orma' season! - means we get more foraging vids!! 😁😁👌 Would love to see you do an old school beach cookup like you used to do in the early days Jay! 🙏🤙🤙

[@SMASHFISHING]

When the next tides come il be trying a lot more outdoors

[@carolinelloyd1858]

@SMASHFISHING awesome 😎👍👍 looking forward to it

[@stewartdaggett-yz9jt]

Great to see you back for a new season of orma foraging again..fill your boots...or should I say nets..nice one Jay

[@karlstokes874]

I tried cuttlefish for the 1st time last year. I was surprised how much it reminded me of abalone. Nice forage Jay. Happy new year 👍🏻

[@kgoak5765]

Been waiting for this first ormer forage!

[@jimflynn466]

Hi Smash you had my mouth watering there, I love seafood, especially prawns, crab and squid but never had the opportunity to try Ormers, probably the weather kept me from going to Guernsey where I could maybe try them. Loved your forage Jay and your fry up, look forward to seeing your adventures with glorious in the rest of the year. Keep safe and good fishing. Jimf🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@barrie1]

That time of year already 😂

What a great start to the year 🤙🤙🤙🤙. Would love to try armors

Happy new year to you and the smash family hope you all have a smashing 2025 ❤

[@SMASHFISHING]

Happy new year!!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Happy New Year, Jay. Starting off with a "bang" with the abalone hunt. I've asked in the past but can't remember if you answered: What do you with the shells once you process the meat? I see that "sweet chili sauce" hiding behind the spices @ 17:06. Looked great, try some mayo and a slice of your favorite cheese for different taste.

[@apexsearcher3062]

happy new year and ormer season💪💪💪💪 yeah

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks mate and you 🍺

[@Winstonsmithsalias]

The best way I’ve had abalone/paua is minced and creamed. A traditional Maori way, the cream reality brings out the flavor, once tried you’ll never go back.

[@christhekiwi109]

You are correct but not minced. thinkly sliced, cover in flour, shake of the excess, pan fry shallots in butter, add more butter and add the paua, fry 2-3 mins max, add heavy whipping cream, reduce and salt whitee pepper to tase. you are a winner.

[@Winstonsmithsalias]

@@christhekiwi109 Loved the typo, somewhere between thickly and thinly lol :}

[@katrineroberts4084]

I have been enjoying your videos for nearly 5 years. You are awesome.

[@ronaldmansfield.6439]

Slice vertically into quarter inch slabs , slightly tenderise with tenderising mallet, dust in flour and then fry till golden brown in olive oil. Delicious. Drown in fresh water first before cutting up to be even more tender.

[@JRussomjr]

They looked delicious for sure. I grew up along the Jersey (US) Shore, but I've never had abalone.

[@jonathaningram4672]

Abalone season, awesome fun, never ate one, doubtful I ever will as I'm NE England. Still good to see you having fun and gathering free tasty food.

[@GosperTYVS]

Nice first orma foraging adventure Jay 👍👍👍

[@sethp0411]

Love these videos glad your back!

[@Backdaft94]

Been waiting for the first ormer video.

[@DavidWardle]

Happy new year mate. Never tried Abalone, never seen one up here. I heard you say kids, I knew you had one, have you got more now? Great video again

[@jonathangribble7766]

Interesting content, thanks you. I’m not into fishing, apart from fly fishing occasionally, I’ve never heard of these “Ormas” or whatever you call them, lovely to watch you out foraging thou, you must have tough hands in those freezing waters!

[@stephenlees683]

Nice one smash i haven’t been on for a long while but nice to see your videos again keep it up 👍 good 😊

[@SaileAway]

Thank you for inspiring my gf and I to go on our first coastal foraging trip last night in southeast Alaska. We saw lots of life and took home a bunch of chitons and limpets as well as one large shrimp that we managed to catch 😂 The head lamps we bought at the store were really quite awful though, which brand do you recommend? Thanks from a new subscriber

[@timothyjohnston6314]

It’s not a year until the first ormering video comes out. It’s going to be a hell of a year👍🇨🇦

[@kelvinsparks4651]

How did you prep them before cooking 😊

[@kenheslop7288]

Would be great to see you and Sam haveing a foraging trip again 👌💯

[@DreadlocsEnthused]

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 first forage down SOOOO MANY more to go

[@katrineroberts4084]

Great abundance of everything. Areally good sign.

[@deanbutcher557]

I really enjoy you mate. thanks for the update.

[@scottreiri9800]

Should always return your rocks to how you found them to maintain the habitat, just good practice too

[@ck-tb3xl]

mix a bit of mayo, sweet chill sauce and a splash of lemon for a yum sauce for fried squid, cuttlefish, or abalone. it won't disappoint!

[@AmyAndTerryMiller]

That looks delicious 🤤

[@craigcampbell9477]

Hoorah,, Smash is back!😎

[@92Ciapq]

Happy new year!

[@SMASHFISHING]

Happy new year!

[@tonycamplin8607]

Great to see that the abalone's are back in season, what a good haul. Don't know why you added salt and why didn't you put them in the bun whole? Wish we could get them in England. Looking forward to more foraging videos, keep them coming. Good luck.

[@JT1698]

I can't help but imagine every time you toss something back into the water your editor putting in a faint yell lmao

[@jayreiter268]

What length rod do you use? Can get 6mm type 316 rod in 600 and 900mm.

[@timandrews1613]

Here in Western Australia it's a licensed amateur fishery, we're only allowed to take 5, and the minimum allowed size is 140 mm

[@gracewashburn8276]

❤❤❤ I was getting worried about you Jay hadn’t heard from you in a couple weeks. That was quite a haul. Incredible nice big abalones. Oh my goodness how yummy❤❤❤❤

[@raiden_ei_shogun]

I just wanna try that here in our country. 🥰🥰

[@ck-tb3xl]

be careful with frostbite jay. when your hands get numb you notice it less, it happens faster than you think. you missed flipping back a couple rocks btw. nice vid.

[@colingontier7697]

Ordering season comes around so fast.

[@pirththee]

Yes my favorite. Will Sam be joining you on one of your abalone forages this year?

[@DJGlenR1979]

Blowing a hoolie :) My old man wa in the Navy and he always used to say that :) He would have loved your catch and cook videos

Big up Smash Fishing👊

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Smash , do these Abolonies just live and grow under the rocks all year or do they float in from other places?

[@beccafirebird]

What do you do with the shells? They're so pretty.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Is 20 the bag limit?

[@eshaytoastie9790]

In New Zealand, we only allowed 7, and they have to be over 25cm top to bottom

Never eaten one, they look delicious, ever tried them in a Chinese recipe, with hoisin sauce perhaps ?
