How to catch RAZOR CLAMS - Coastal Sea Foraging - Catch & Cook - Dorset Fishing - Low Tide Foraging
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2019
- I go coastal sea foraging in search of RAZOR CLAMS on a sandy beach using salt as the 'lure'. Razor clams live below the surface of the sand and believe it or not, you can encourage them out with a bottle of salt. I've done this many times in Cornwall, mainly to use as bait for sea fishing but this time we cooked them up on the coals!
Once we collected a load of razor clams, we got a driftwood fire going and smoked them between a bundle of heather, which was collected from the sand dunes.
The rest was a blur!
This video was filmed on the beautiful Dorset coast.

The best 'razor clams' video I have ever seen on UA-cam! You are well-known for your Bushcraft camp cooking...but we now learn that you are equally at home on the shore. Thanks.
Thanks James, I appreciate that!
PINNED!
where about ?
What I do with clams is keep them alive in a bucket cover them in corn meal and cover them with seaweed. They will eat the corn meal which replaces the sand in their guts. That way you can eat them whole without all that grit.
Great advice.
Always wondered if that something like that would work. I don't eat them as I strongly dislike seafood but went to catch them with my friends and they all complained they were bitches to cook and eat because of the sand and doing something like this always came up in convo but don't think we ever actually tried
@@MERLINnecrofan just put em in a bucket of water from the ocean and let the clams spit out sand
@@chess-analytical how long do I wait for them to spit it out is it over night? Or longer?
@@mimiyolk overnight is recommended cuz then majority of the sand will spit but minimum maybe 6hrs? Not too sure my family does it overnight though
I don’t know why but it’s so satisfying when he pull it out
It's never satisfying when I pull it out... 😁
That's what she said 😁
They're like cinnamon sticks. Lol.
😂😂😂😂
Keep it inside 😂😂
Lovely vid. I was feeling low tonight. Watched your vid and your sincere personality and easy smile along with the ocean and clamming really helped out.
I love your collabs with TA Outdoors too. Keep up the great work.
How are you dear
It's like they're saying, "Dude, at least wait until I'm out before seasoning me!"
Well.. That was educational. Two thumbs Up!!
Great video as usual, Dustin!
Sae several suggestions about purging the razor clams. It would be interesting to learn what works best. If you get a chance to try a couple of methods, make a video so the rest of us will learn.
Keep up the awesome job!
This looks like a sport all in itself! Just like catching nightcrawlers! When I went to Maine as a kid, I remember my dad going clamming and seeing all these long, thick worm like things sticking out of the sand when the tide was out! I never touched them or cared to touch them, BUT THIS brought all those great memories flooding back to my brain! I guess with regular clams, they keep their heads out of the sand... without salt?
Thanks for sharing this. I visited my Dads hometown of Fraserburgh Scotland last year from Canada and I found one of these razor clam shells on the beach... in april. I smuggled it home and everyone asks me what it is. I didn't know so I started researching and found your video. Kinda gross... the foot on those things, but very cool to learn what the heck it is that I have in my house.
Thanks again. Very cool video!!
Hey Bud! Greetings from North Devon. Best vlig on Razors! The cinch method of cooking, the persistence in the initial forage, all good man. I love your box over the fire BBQ method. Brilliance!
Spring tides at Westward Ho! today, I'm off with the hound to forage clams and cockles.
Thanks again. Big love from Devon.
Swainiac!
Legend!
Bro love you you made this video! Opened with what I came to see then showed me how and how to enjoy them! Great job 👏
Awesome video Dustin. Cool technique, I've never seen anyone do it before.
I have never seen a razor clam before. Always like your videos. Take care.
This looks such fun and the results would be so delicious. Shared to my personal FB page and Twitter. Awesome stuff.
I don't understand why you don't have 1 000 000 subscribers.
You're channel is the best.
I always love your cooking. Looked delicious
just imagine going to the beach and just seeing some random guy pouring salt into small holes lol
Love these! Keep rocking brother!
Dustin james, good sir. A very enjoyable video my friend!
Nice video! I can't wait to go out and try this with friends!
Great to see you & Amber back Dustin on (Cookin Good In The Woods) well at the sea 😂 must have lost my invite 😢 enjoyed the video my friend & I look forward to see how you cook them next time, look after yourself, ATB 🙂🥃👍 Andy
What a delicious looking feast. Never tried razor clams, but they looked yummy once cooked!
Give them a try....They are lovely.
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS I've only been to the ocean a few times in my life, but if I ever get the chance I will definitely try it!
My father used to soak regular clams in fresh water for a spell, he said it made them spit the sand out! Not sure whether it is true or not but have eaten a few clams in my day and can't remember them being gritty. Thanks for sharing!
@Xp Reflex For a Spell meaning that they sat for a certain amount of time, not sure how long he left them it it but it seemed to work. :)
Thank you, this was very down to earth and relaxing
Awesome video man. I've never had razor clams but they look good. I'm sure if you fix them they will be delicious. Be safe my friend.
Another great video keep them coming
Good to see you're still alive. Good eats. Peace
Yep...still here mate!
Loved this video! Keep up the good work!
Brilliant video,well presented very Informative, nice one pal👍🏻😉
I live in New England. I dug up some razor clams but they were stumpy versions of the traditional mollusk. It took some research to find its name was stout razor clamp. Then the research petered out with very little further information...... other than it is the most common shellfish from Maine to South American. The most numerous shellfish on the eastern side of the Americas and bugger all information on it. As a bait, as a food you treat it like the lankier razor clam..... I guess.
Nice one Dustin well done !
Thank you for your time. From Phoenix Arizona USA ;
I've never caught razor clams, but I know for years the prevailing opinion was that you had to remove the 'foot' because it was effectively 'barbed' or 'studded' to give it more traction in the sand - doesn't look like it gave you much trouble, though!
This makes me feel super calm and I dig it! Awesome video!
It scares me a little lol but it’s really cool
Imagine being a razor clam.sitting and chilling in your home and suddenly someone put salt in your home and you come out to be Their food😥
😲 😢 😭
I have never heard of razor clams before looks interesting. Lovely beach for a camp out. I enjoyed this video as I do all your videos.
That's pretty much our favourite beach - many happy days and barbecues there. Never thought to look for food there though :-)
Hi Jim king, can you tell me what beach this is please
wow, this is awesome!
Wooow I love razor clams.......truly mouthwatering with some rice and vege......
Really enjoyed this one. Are you going to film more camping at the shore? Best to you and yours.
Great video 👍👍👍
This is my favourite video! I love the beach foraging & beach finds! Are you near any beaches with fossils ?
Thanks mate. I'm actually not that far from Lyme Regis......fossil heaven!
BUSHCRAFT TOOLS pleaseeee go there 😉 love it, you go to all the cool places!
Nice video bro!
Love your videos. Nice to see that on some of your videos you are wearing a sweater with a Norwegian flagg on your arm.What dog bred is Amerika? Looking forward to the next video.😃
Wow love your life and the way of catching clams! Its my dream to hav kind of day out or camping on sandy place i love razor clam i often can find it 3 for£ 10 freezer section at morrison
You should get some mini orange construction flags so you can just salt and flag the holes. Be super easy to backtrace your pours.
I dont like seafood, I'm not even rly too committed to the ocean and fishing and all that, but this was fun and nice goodjob man
The beautiful south west coast 👍
You're so good at pulling it out.
Lol,that's what most guys probably want to be told!
Enjoyed the video
I love your vids
Do they get bigger there? And what is the limit? Here in the NW we have big laws!
I really don’t understand why you get so less viewers. But hey, I follow you😎
Pritty cool stuff
It is good to know. Thank you!
We also have this Clam in Borneo...but a small size one...
Okay so I'm not an expert in any way shape or form. And if you don't appreciate my comment i'll delete it or you can, but some of the things you said are just kinda not true. Well i mean they could be, but you pouring salt on the holes like that, it's just not going into the holes fully or its seeping very slowly in them. Try mixing A LOT of salt in water and then pouring that into the holes. The clams will pop out a lot faster as the dense salty mixer sinks to the bottom quickly.
That's a good tip. Thanks
Great video. I am down trying to do the same on Turnberry beach. I k ow they are here as you see the boats out to dive/catch them. Not got any yet as I think tide on way back in. Will wait to ride right out.
Thanks again
I enjoyed your video but as a commercial clam digger in Massachusetts who is mainly focused on razors I do know that the salt works but what people do not realize is that by adding that much salt your actually damaging the meat of the clam if the pom is too highly salt concentrated your essentially destroying the clams meat which will kill it faster and razors have a very short shelf life as it is but for just getting some to eat that's the easiest way
Whats the best way to get them if you don't want to waste, or don't have, a bunch of salt?
That second hole was a lugworm burrow dude the cast was 6 inches to the side 👍
I live in Australia and nothing is here on the beach.. it really sucks. :(
What will happen if you see the hole then dig a spade /shovel, won't there be a razor clam?
...and NOW we know how the ocean got all its salt water!
Rememberer boys, no matter how many holes you salt, you can’t get them all quote of the century
Well done
Thanks for the video.... I seen you on TK outdoors..........JJ...
Can we use the tubes to catch these clams like the bigger razor clams??
1:00 what happens when my missus touches my no no square
PLEASE
FOODS OF THE GENTILES
Hi Dustin, how you doing bro? Just wanted to see if your alright, not heard from you for a while, so I just wanted to ask if everything was alright, take care my friend, stay safe & ATB 🙂🥃👍 Andy
Really cool! And I'm sure others see something delicious. Me? I feel sick at the thought of eating one.
Nice vid
I suppose the shells can be used for a small container if you cap the ends. I've done that with deer and bear windpipes.
You did what now
@@edmaymortem525 Once when we processed a deer I noticed how durable the windpipe was. So I kept it, killed the bacteria with aqua fortis and when it dried I put caps on the open ends and made a small container out of it. It's great for a field sewing kit, etc. Bear is even better because it's of a bigger diameter.
You should try the rectum. When my grandma died I took out her rectum, soak it in Dettol and let it sun dry. I use it as my cup now.
@@Archergod Gosh-dang it, I wish I thought of that!
(You should be working as a writer for SNL.)
Which coastline were you on? Great video by the way.
We have thousands at Southport - what time of year can you catch them
I gotta question, when you see a hole, why cant you just dig in and pull it out?
They are usually very deep in the sand so it would be hard to dig them out.
Have you ever tried using a tube as we do here on the pacific northwest coast?
A boob tube?
@@frostedlambs we call them clam guns
What is the minimum keep size for razor clams in the UK?
The longest part of the shell needs to be 100mm.
Strange they didn't name them cigarr clams. Don't know what inspired the "razor" part
Thumbs up!!!
Clark
Looks great fun! You should try them raw they taste so sweet 🔥
wth
u know u cant eat things raw without getting sick
i just know chinese eats evrything raw
@@loercayt6146 I don't know about these clams, but there are plenty of fish that you can eat raw.
@@nicholas104 oh yea
Who else is missing Dustin's live streams!! How about some Bowl Turning!!
Good idea.....bowl turning!
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS It might help if you announce it 6 hrs in advance of what time you will be on live and record and hold a short video of a give away!! I know I love those! The hr long live streams give us a chance to give you feed back and for your followers to become friends. I've made Two GREAT friends because of your live feeds.
I won't be able to attend unless it's after 1pm Central Standard time.
Wow lovely beach we are going close there we mite have a look
Great stuff ! I'm in Ireland, do not too far away ,, just wondering is there a particular time of year that they are at their best? Cheers 😁👍
Being filter feeders it's best to avoid them during the warmer months...as to avoid the toxic summer algae.
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS I understand , great stuff, cheers for the reply 😁👍
Some of those looked under size, hard to tell on camera but maybe you should state the legal landing size up front and show how to measure them, only responsible foraging is sustainable.
I never even knew these creatures exist b4 now,lol..Do those taste like the other common type clams that they sell @ stores/restaurants or what?
I've tried this and it doesn't work, is there any reason why it wouldn't?
I finally know why the ocean is salty
So this is why the sea is salty😅
I never heard or seen these things in my life this is such a trip to me they look so damn weird I've never heard or seen anything in my life this is crazy
Wow how amazimg, im goin to try this haah silly Q but you wash them put them on hearher and let them in the fire then eat?boom xx
Where in dorset is this bud? I'm really interested in doing a bit of coastal foraging but don't know where to start.
Can you catch them in February/March ?
Why does salt bring them out when the ocean is so salty already?
I feel like yeah the ocean is already salty but I think they’re used to that kind of salt so by applying direct salt onto them irritates them
Why do other razor clams have big clam shells ? Did you gather babies or what ? I'm confused
Awesome
Please tell us which beach this is! We’re guessing Knoll Beach?
Hi,awesome video? Where exactly is it?Location please.
