[@PuRpLePoNcHo]

Can't go wrong with garlic butter, I must try this

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Haha, garlic butter is great with most kai, except boil up! Had a feed from the shell too, but didn't video that :)

[@PuRpLePoNcHo]

Weka Digital Media NZ nah our boil up has it's own unique taste, can't kill it. But everything else is kapai

[@Ricknbull]

I find your vidz really relaxin to watch😊

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks bro, hope you don't fall asleep lol

[@HWW147]

You always make a guy hungry Where did you learn to cook so well

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Just learned it, never use a cookbook

[@mollies13]

Clam are good with butter garlic cause clam has it own broth that increase flavor.

[@debbiesimpson8861]

Nice sized??? Lol I was thinking to myself damn they are small, and was gonna say put them back to grow more lol. Is that Port Ohope? We used to swim over to the other side at Port Ohope to get them.. and mussels. But that was a few years back now lol. It looks lovely there. Man we have had some damn hot days lately. Being in the water would be perfect.

[@debbiesimpson8861]

OMG they looked soooo good. I've never had them like that. Always boiled in pot. Or fried on BBQ lol. But damn, that's made me hungry for some lol. Might have to go on a Mish to the pipi bed soon lol

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Not bad for here, was surprised to actually find some. Not the biggest but still tasty as Deb! Have had some hot days at work outside. Hope you're well

[@debbiesimpson8861]

I bet they tasted good. They sure looked good lol. Been bloody hot for sure. I hate the hot nights. I bet u miss being able to just jump in the pool lol. Jump in the river or lake much better 😀 Mike & I doing good. He's working in kiwifruit orchards so that's good. I'm still doing same thing lol. I also make steamed pudding's to sell on Sundays lol. And everything else I do lol. Take care of yourself, have to have a catch up soon 😁

[@1nudz1]

[@hudsonquay]

I cook my shellfish like this but with a glass of white wine and some lemon

[@polynesian_tingz906]

I recently had a mean feed of pipi's that I hadn't had in years. Watching this makes me want some more shellfish asap 😂😭🤙

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Now I know where to get these, will be making some more trips to this place. Not really a pipi lover but one of the local beds are closed due to cow teko from all the farms leaching into the water.

[@polynesian_tingz906]

Shame about the farm runoff 😦 but yeah those cockles are the business 👌

[@Ricknbull]

Grew up cooking off a tin....pipis n cockles on...play all day...havin mean feeds

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Might have to go back there for some more soon, they are sweet!

[@joshgarvin2013]

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Haha, thanks for tuning in bro, have just finished editing my latest boil up vid.

[@MrHonification]

Throw those small ones back bey

[@kuraqueen6593]

Where's the fried bread to dip in the juice. That's it, I'm off to the beach to try and find some kai moana. Probably have to make do with karahus because Auckland doesn't have any kai moana left. Our pipi beds have been stripped. Too many people here and no matter what country they come from, they all love kai moana.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

No fry bread, don't make it, but love eating it. Too many fullas in AKL, they get to know the spots aye? We still lucky here so far, got to know where to go.

[@sospeciallyme9096]

i got told u have to cut out the black 'guts' of pippies. any truth to this? i know in this video you haven't but have u heard of people doing this

[@hudsonquay]

These are cockles not pipis

[@beastmode602]

my favourite kai moana

[@pigeons2203]

Yum

[@thirtyonehunnitca]

YOU. ARE. THA. FUCCKIN. MAN.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Haha, kia ora bro!

[@hikurukutai]

[@charlottesmith7279]

[@hikurukutai]

Kia ora bro go hard u make me hungry off to kuta to find some

[@cococharliematenga4829]

Tumeke bro, mean.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks bro, I think was supposed to put some lemon juice in at the end too. All goods

[@cococharliematenga4829]

Nice one, how you've done it looks awesome. People pay big $$$ in restaurants to get a feed like that :) the wine and lemon only add's that razzle dazzle (+ $20 in restaurants) to the dish. Ka pai.

[@peterboyd7304]

awww cobber.pirau.cant understand this.why try to make seafood taste like old socks?add garlic, no seafood taste.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Can't say I have eaten old socks, but will give anything a try

[@trinajean7883]

Weka Digital Media NZ don't forget the garlic when you do. 😂😂.

[@jnixa1010]

Slurping is the worst sound

[@sintytyson]

From the age of 9 to 10 or so, I thought I was a Gay; and it was all to do with cockles. I was told, while at a camp for fat kids, that eating cockles in our dormitories made me of the Gay. You see, camp ppl never gave as much food so at play-time I didn't play I'd go on a mission in search of more food; and the ocean I knew to be the second refrigerator under the sea. So cockles kept the hunger pains away but not the Gay, that I thought I caught by eating cockles. It was just my luck that an old kuia (with mokopuna) told me two things that changed my life. First thing was, to not be so stupid and the second was that if I wanted to kiss a boy forever amen over kissing a girl on the cheek forever then I was for sure of the Gay. I was so glad I wasn't Gay cos talking with a Gay accent all those long, long months was reallyreally hard to do! Another awesome upload, bro!!

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Bugger aye? Adults should just leave kids to be kids

[@Halluci44]

So cool you spent hours gathering 100 river clams to produce about 100 grams of edible meat. That literally a quarter of a steak. Waste of time

[@zackilby1284]

Ur math is wack and so r u. Free sea food is awesome. Dont hate. Appreciate . 🤙

[@zebrasnot6819]

It took him 30 mins, not hours. Also it tastes better than steak and it's fun to look for em.

[@rhyleesmumX]

River???

[@balandranmurugaiyahmanicka6409]

Sorry but this are not cockles they are clams

[@BlackWhite-om8hr]

BALANDRAN MURUGAIYAH MANICKAM They’re cockles

[@SRVACE]

I don't know where you're from but they are called cockles here mate

[@madeofmetal94]

Same thing mate, Austrovenus stutchburyi, New Zealand cockle or New Zealand little neck clam. The names are all interchangable.

[@jasonyoung1230]

They are cockles. You are clam.

[@nobodyspecial8102]

clam and crabs you get from your gf 😅
