It's kinda funny that I'm eating fried catfish when Clams decide to upload a video. All of a sudden, I want to eat what his cooking and not what I'm eating! Thanks a lot Will! I suffer from anxiety attacks and refuse to take meds. But when Will uploads a new video, it's like taking Xanax without taking Xanax. Love this dude!
I grew up fishing down there and when I seen the title I thought I might have missed a spot growing up!!😂😂😂 I didn't know you meant canal fishing! Glad I clicked reminds me of when I was a kid riding my bike!!
Great video Will! You sure caught a pile of fish. Small, but a pile. The water was so clear. The RC racers are like lawnmowers in NY. Lol What a cool looking plate. The crisp on the snapper sounded amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!
That looks really good, Will. I would love to see a video or two on cooking grouper in different ways. I know you guys like snapper but my favorite was grouper and gousters on the grill with lots of butter, garlic, S&P, etc. One of our favorite Sunday meals after spending the day catching them.
Yo Will just wanna say thanks , I’ve been on a culinary journey and your videos have helped me out with cooking the past couple years. I’m up in here in Brooklyn and have yet to stop by your restaurant in greenpoint but I will this year for sure. Keep on killing it 💯
We surf fish stripers in the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world. We do park our lawn chairs and fish the last 3 hours of the incoming tide and 3 hours of the out going. And yes, we do catch lots of big fish. We use cut mackerel on 7/0 circle hooks and 4 ounce lead. We also change bait every 15 minutes.
Keep live shrimp alive in small cheap cooler. Layers: ice, wet briny newspaper, shrimp, newspaper, ice, briny newspaper, shrimp, etc. . . They go into suspended animation. Put them on the hook they wake up when they hit the water. Didn't learn this until my late 20's. I'm 70 now. It's odd that no bait stores in North Carolina sell live shrimp.
I have had a lot of luck lately with cut and peeled shrimp with small #1-1/0 circle hooks. If you use the whole shrimp they can pull it off, but they have no choice but to bite the hook if you use smaller peeled chucks. (The fresher the shrimp, the better)
Nice Video sir. Can I get you to think about conservation in the future? Next time maybe don't let that Black Grouper hit the pavement, it's hot and terrible for his skin.
Have A.ARon take u past the cruiseship alley 6 isle down inside not outside (clue)😊 its swallow but hardy. ❤ not a local, but found plenty in 1/12th a yr going since 1990s
Can you uncover the mystery about how all FL restaurants blackened seasoning/prep taste amazing and then I go back north and can’t even come close to duplicating…….there must be some restaurant hack/secret because I have tried no Less than a dozen blackened seasonings and still can’t duplicate.. Starting right at Hogfish grill….lol. Their blackened seasoning preparation is world class.
I can’t be the only one who cringes every time I see the nutribullet come out. I swear I’m going to send Clams and the Waterman a proper blender one day. The fish looked delicious keep it up.
@@CookingWithClams I really don’t think it’s a picky think. The bigger ones were probably caught at a smaller size and released and they have wised up to bait and hook.
Speaking of 'no-se-ums' what kind of repellent do you use. They tear my sweet Canadian ass up while I am down there! I hear Avon Skin so soft works but can't find that.

Fried catfish sounds kinda great though!

It’s not the most exciting but it’s high up there on fun
Good job Clams, keep puttin in that work!
I will!
Butterflied technique works really well. Thanks,

Epic plating, made a fish look like a stingray. Outstanding work.
Hahaha
That plate was beautiful! Was awesome to see you put that together ! True chef at work here!
Trying to make grunts upscale
Aloha. John Carter from Mars? That looked like a flavor bomb on so many levels.
Haha maybe it is!
I grew up fishing down there and when I seen the title I thought I might have missed a spot growing up!!😂😂😂 I didn't know you meant canal fishing! Glad I clicked reminds me of when I was a kid riding my bike!!
Hey Sammy creek has it in its name! Haha
@@CookingWithClams yeah I know lol
@@CookingWithClams truly enjoyed brought back memories!! We used to catch snapper and grouper when we were kids in the late 70s and 80s

I’ve done it on channel and yea it’s pretty fantastic
Will…I love your channel man. You and waterman are so great to watch every week. Keep putting out the content brother!
That makes me so happy! I make these videos really for myself and to learn that people actually dig watching them is still crazy to me. So thank you
You put in a ton a work in these dishes but they look incredible. It's worth the work!
Thank you for acknowledging that
Nice fishing adventure and another amzing recipe!
Thank you!
Enjoyed the car ride!!
Me too haha
Enjoy your recipes, plating, and use of the less familiar fish in your videos.
Appreciate that thank you
Great video Will! You sure caught a pile of fish. Small, but a pile. The water was so clear. The RC racers are like lawnmowers in NY. Lol
What a cool looking plate. The crisp on the snapper sounded amazing!
Thanks for sharing!!!
I think the clear water even worked against me!
The herb blend topper as well as the salsa looked great. I'll be making them for sure! Thx.
They really compliment each other
Looks amazing!!
It was!
Why can’t I stop watching this?
Cause it’s cold and rainy in ny
Awesome job Will 😊
Thank you!
Lol it looks like a flying fish in the plate. But delicious I'm sure. Seems you had a fun day, enjoy. Keep filming we'll keep watching 😊
It was a good day of running around locally
Nice gremolata, soon on a plate here 👏🏽🙋♀️ (and I’m still having cravings for that lovely Romesco sauce you made❤
Gosh I love that romesco sauce
Another great looking recipe!
Thank you!

Where in bk are you?
Great job Will, I always learn something from your videos.
Best Wishes,
Micky C
Glad to hear it. That makes me happy
My Dad and I used to go to marker 888 in Sarasota and clean up on massive grunts, and they were incredible eating!
So clean! White flakey meat
Yes Sir you are right, Grunts and Grits is delicious!
Yes they are
We surf fish stripers in the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world. We do park our lawn chairs and fish the last 3 hours of the incoming tide and 3 hours of the out going. And yes, we do catch lots of big fish. We use cut mackerel on 7/0 circle hooks and 4 ounce lead. We also change bait every 15 minutes.
That’s the dedication it takes to catch fish from shore!
I've snorkeled against that current ❤
It’s brutal!!
U should have so many more subs!!! Love your videos. 👊🏽
I appreciate that! Growing slowly
Coming to key west in April! I think we might stay on a house boat! Love your channel ♥️
Amazing! And thank you
Dude... Amaze-balls!

Didn't learn this until my late 20's. I'm 70 now. It's odd that no bait stores in North Carolina sell live shrimp.
I’m gonna try this! Thank you. I’ve never heard of doing this
TNX 4 VID LOL
We ate the grunts and sold snapper growing up in Key West.
If you catch ‘em big enough, they’re fantastic
Looks great, if you use a white plate it will look so much better.
But taste the same!
@@CookingWithClams lol, for sure..
I have had a lot of luck lately with cut and peeled shrimp with small #1-1/0 circle hooks.
If you use the whole shrimp they can pull it off, but they have no choice but to bite the hook if you use smaller peeled chucks. (The fresher the shrimp, the better)
I’ll try it out
In Florida it's at least 12 hours for a tide change!!!
Hope you slap the bass for a future video. Think it would bring in a few fish and add some fun to the video. Still a rock star & nice sauce.
Hahaha slappa the striped bass
Love those striped bass. Caught a few in Texas. @@CookingWithClams
I have caught so many snappers 18 and over Inches on that bridge and a few Rare legal muttons
Nice!!
Oh come on with this 🔥🐠
Nice Video sir. Can I get you to think about conservation in the future? Next time maybe don't let that Black Grouper hit the pavement, it's hot and terrible for his skin.
Absolutely
Have A.ARon take u past the cruiseship alley 6 isle down inside not outside (clue)😊 its swallow but hardy. ❤ not a local, but found plenty in 1/12th a yr going since 1990s
Parece ter ficado muito bom! 🤙🇧🇷
It did!
I’m here! I just got here, What’s for dinner?
Gruuuunts
Great episode will! Grunt is one of my favorite fish to eat fried! What company makes the shears you are using? They look heavy duty!
They’re misen but toadfish just came out with some amazing ones. I have a discount code in the description or on my website
Will, you need a kayak to fish from!
I don’t think my back could handle loading unloading and launching it
Can you uncover the mystery about how all FL restaurants blackened seasoning/prep taste amazing and then I go back north and can’t even come close to duplicating…….there must be some restaurant hack/secret because I have tried no Less than a dozen blackened seasonings and still can’t duplicate..
Starting right at Hogfish grill….lol. Their blackened seasoning preparation is world class.
What have you used? What oil, what pan and what heat?
Aloha. Buy the seasoning, dip the fish in melted butter, coat thoroughly with seasoning, hot pan with neutral oil, prepare for smoke, and your done.
Birria written all over it, but with a twist.
Gnats are horrible brother I live on the Gulf Coast so I feel your pain
Viciously aggressive
@@CookingWithClams I hate them brother. Love your videos by the way I'm always waiting for you to drop one so I can watch
I can’t be the only one who cringes every time I see the nutribullet come out. I swear I’m going to send Clams and the Waterman a proper blender one day. The fish looked delicious keep it up.
I have one, and I was anti nutribullet but man it’s convenient
My grandmother is kissing the hand with this dish.
Hahaha
👍👍
Im still waiting on the KING Mac salad sandwiches lol
Gotta catch a king!
@@CookingWithClams haha you won't eat tuna salad again. But I would love to see you put a twist on it. Oh dibs had one a couple episodes ago.
7:01 what area is this? I see a lot of kayaks. Looking for some kayak spots down there.
Sammy creek in sugarloaf
Hey, did you leave the ribs in or were you able to cut around them?
I did! If the fish were bigger I would have removed them
What kind of chef knife do you use?
I have a few but in key west I use a misen a lot
Yummy!
So good!
Small ones eat because the larger ones are wiser.
And picky
@@CookingWithClams I really don’t think it’s a picky think. The bigger ones were probably caught at a smaller size and released and they have wised up to bait and hook.
😎✌️👍
Speaking of 'no-se-ums' what kind of repellent do you use. They tear my sweet Canadian ass up while I am down there! I hear Avon Skin so soft works but can't find that.
I don’t use any actually
you lost me a cilatro lol
It’s normally parsley
I am one of those people who taste soap when eating cilantro
23:57 damn he turned that mf into a stingray💀
Hahaha
Scratch the bridge 10 inches that measuring tape awkward
What?
I just need a hard ruler not a tape
Grunts were not down there people ate them because they were the cheapest fish people could buy in the old days fresh food was hard to get down there
That’s right
kinda creepy to me. looks good tho just don't like my food to be looking at me
Can always remove it
