Im a Florida native grew up getting our own oysters out around Nassau sound area and down Hecksher drive. Those were the good old days!

Hell yeah, love the video! And thanks for the shoutout on closed areas/seasons/just keeping enough for dinner, too many people in this gd state these days for people to just be loading up buckets willy nilly

[@mileswilliams2587]

Here from blue Gabe’s, great stuff! Especially that damn trout lil jake caught. As a trout fisherman landing hundreds to find one like that and that little f*er landed that beast! Lol love those kids. Anyways great stuff! You got a viewer for life

[@Bb-yo6tr]

7:13 yup, 100%, thats why oyster farms ship them like that for the restaurant to clean them.

[@0riginall337]

Love your videos. Reminds me of eastern shore of VA living, where i spent alot of time

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thank you!

Well iam 5 months late for supper!!! Dang yall making me hungry. I like mine salty with dash hot sauce and a squeeze of lime. But yours look real good..and tasty..ty for inviting us.

I absolutely can’t do raw oysters , but I would actually try this . Looks really good

These are my oysters, and I’ll eat them anyway, I want :-) hysterical good for you, and by the way, I love your channel and the oysters looks so delicious.

Good vid boss. You got a fan down here in Stuart. I never went Oystering before but id go with you! lol

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@Lester-yp3ej]

Excellent video. Please do more on oysters and educate us on good and bad oysters. What to watch out for. The last two times I ate at an oyster bar, I got sick! Why? Keep up the GREAT WORK!! Les

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

So eating raw oyster in a restaurant is risky because you just don’t know what that oyster has been though before eating it. Picking them myself like this and eating super fresh they are pretty always all good.

[@kenroberts9366]

Good call telling people to wash/ powerwash them. When people say they get "sick" from oysters is due to outside the shell stuff, not inside.

[@kanakacooking1015]

Looks really good, I'm hungry now. 👍

[@ericjdanis1872]

Hey over here from blugabes channel (Gabriel Arrington) watched ya there great stuff looking at other videos good luck 👍🏼🤞🏼

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@goodman4773]

If your raw oysters aren't salty enough, get a bucket of water from the inlet and let them sit in there for a half hour. Great stuff. Your videos are great.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Great idea

[@bubbletrail6404]

Great job man, that brings back memories of getting oysters with my dad and his buddies when I was young. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@warddbud]

Mr. TugBoat, what would be your recommendations on a pair of boots to walk the shoreline, the harvest oysters and would you wanna be closer to the ocean or further up River? I’m in the Charleston South Carolina area and I do not have a boat but I love oysters

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Any old rubber boot will do. I like one that’s pretty tall in case ya get in deeper water

[@markehooker]

Ian, watched you video with Blue Gabe roasting oysters on the oyster bed. Thought I would give you a follow. Thumbs up # 713 from NC

[@billramsey7455]

What an amazing dish. I'm sure mine won't be that good but I'm gonna hit on some that's pretty close to that. If a man eats at least 8 of these at 1 setting, his his wife will love him that night. Keep up the amazing work. I know that making these videos Is not an easy thing to do. Stay safe and God-bless you always

[@shawnharriman3433]

Great video love the harvest!!

[@warrenosceola6794]

Can’t wait to nothin like harvesting your supper can’t wait to get back home to the sunshine state

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Yes sir

[@talonskraps504]

Looking good!

[@rulistening7777]

Put the raws on an upside down stainless wire cookie cooling rack. That way, you can set the whole rack of oysters in the cooker at one time. = less spillage and quicker.

[@calltheball977]

Looks like I am late to the party. Those oysters looked amazing!!!! Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@shawnmaginness9872]

Hey there, Tug! I just discovered your channel and I'm loving your videos! 👍👍 I fish on the west coast in the big bend/nature coast area of FL, so I'm playing in the same kind of water as you. I just picked a few oysters the other day and I'm definitely going to try this recipe of yours tomorrow. I usually fry them, or just eat em raw, but I've got to try this! Thanks for the tip!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

I love them raw and fried!

[@kenneth-ml5gb]

Love it!

Freaking awesome. Sorry I missed your last video.

Good stuff brother🤙🏻 I just watched you and BG and subscribed as you said 🤣

Great video. I do prefer mine raw but also love them like this. I think you should invest in racks to put on bbq with each plate at once to put on and off. Keep them coming.

Looks good in my area SW FL we add a lil spinach & Lemon Rockefeller 🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸

Only way to do it. Harvest ur own and throw them on the grill. Something about doing it yourself makes it taste that much better.

[@marthalanier5677]

I love to fish. I have my own fishing cart and I drag it to the Jetty and catch whatever is biting. I would love to try oysters. Not fond of them raw but those charbroiled ones look tasty! ❤😎

they look good

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks

[@jdock32778]

Wow 👍🏻

[@Florida_Man_Robb]

Okay, you’ve convinced me to try this. Is there any preferable place to harvest these in St. Augustine, ie closer to the inlets, deeper up the creeks where there’s more runoff, etc.? Or are they all basically the same quality?

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

I definitely stay close to the inlets check the link in description for more info

[@1boortzfan]

I found you because of Bluegabe. He said yu were a tug boat captain. Is there any chance you could do a video about life on a tug boat? A lot of people would find that interesting, I know I would.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Working on it now

[@bobgraves2465]

Right on man! Love oysters. I would be curious to known how they are in Florida compared to west coast. Noticed your wife mentioned tillamook cheese 👍

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

I would too!

[@shaeallday1956]

You’re the man! Great video, we live in pinellas I’m going to check to see where our beds are for harvesting. How would you compare these to blue points?

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Saltier

[@007shawnmh]

I've never been Oyster harvesting but it looks like a lot of fun. Have you ever thought of building a stand with wire mesh as the table top? do you think it would help in the rinsing off part?

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

That’s a great idea!
