    I know people keep bringing up Kelly and how much they miss her but y'all know she has her own UA-cam channel where you can watch her videos yes the relationship between her and Gabe didn't work out and not all relationships are forever. They do have a life outside of social media and we only see what's on that but all good/ fun things don't last forever we are all human we all make mistakes we all have that soul mate it just takes longer to find the right one when your constantly making videos and then your viewers demand an explanation when that's their business.

    Sorry to hear about Cole's dad. He very likely did not die from eating the raw oyster, but developed a skin infection from a cut from the oyster or other contact with the oyster. The bacteria likely responsible, vibro vulnificus, can cause severe GI illness when infected through the GI tract (eating the oyster) and severe skin infection such as necrotizing fasciitis when infected through the skin. That being said, people can die from vibrio infection from eating oysters, but most people who do have risk factors such as old age (>70), diabetes, liver disease, alcoholism, or other diseases. Big fan of the channel!

    • @davidbarclay4968
      @davidbarclay4968 Рік тому

      100% accurate. Also this bacteria can infect from any raw seafood. There is a ton of eating of raw fish on this channel and no one has ever mentioned this fact.

    Love the channel I have an oyster farm our Oysters come out the water and go in a chiller on the boat at 45 f They are washed in processed in a walk in cooler at 45f. We do Oyster meat samples every harvest to make sure the public gets the best safest Oyster to eat. I have been an Oyster farmer and harvester of wild Oysters for 40 years. I am retiring in two years when I will be 62. Oysters have minerals in them that we need in our bodies.

    Oysters harvested by professional oystermen have to be tagged which tells the registered boat, the date, time, and area from which they were havested. That tag is attached to the bushel bags the oystermen use. So, when they are shipped, those oysters are known.

    Gabe. FYI: I've been eating raw oysters all my life (86 yrs old) here in WA State with no ill effect. However, we only take and eat oysters in moths that have an "R" in them (fall thru spring) when water is coldest. Also you never gather and eat oysters when there is a "red tide" as you can get very sick. Thanks for quality vid!

      First , congratulations on making it to 86 yrs old ! here in Florida, you can't go by months with "R's" in them. IE: Sept and Oct, Because the water is still hot ! Mid 80's . We always eat oysters , and seafood for Thanksgiving, instead of turkey . Raw on a cracker with a splash of hot sauce , yummy .

    I remember back in the 60s we go pick oysters some were South Miami with my parents. There was not sure if still is a little private beach we paid 50 cent. It was fenced off. On low tide you could walk out on the beach all oysters beds My home made speacial tool for each of us from a wooden handle putty knife he ground it down to a half inch blade that worked great faster cleaner and safer for us kids. We all sat there with our own plastic little beach buckets to put in when I had enough I wash them out good with beach water add lemon Tabasco and suck them down just hours of picking. I was 6 years old I never heard of anybody that died from eating oysters. I still love and eat them but not as much its been many years I haven't pick any fresh ones and way too expensive,

    This was as real as it gets. I used to oyster as a kid, I would eat them right off the oyster bars. 3 inch oysters were small. I only harvested the 5 inch or better singles. How did I do that? I would "knock" the singles out of the clusters on year and move them to where I could harvest them the following year. Thanks for the video.

  • @TweeknTurtle
    @TweeknTurtle 5 місяців тому

    It’s worth it to me, I love picking them and eating them raw right there. Been doing it since I was 7 years old and I’m 53 now. I don’t eat raw oysters from restaurants because I don’t know the storage and handling conditions of them. Also if I purchase a bushel of oysters I steam them on the grill until they just pop open. A good hand picked select oyster has a deliciously sweet and salty of the sea right off the oyster bar. 🤤😋👍🏻 first raw oyster I ever had at 7 my uncle dared me to eat one raw when I went with him to help pick a couple bushels, he offered me a shot of home made shine if I did it and I’ve been hooked ever since hooked on the shine as well 🤣🤣🤣

    Gabe idea for fishing with oyster. Letting chicken livers soak in strawberry jello (just the powder mixed into the livers no extra water) for a (5-6)days will toughen the meat so it doesn’t just fall off a hook. Maybe it would work the same if you use oysters not sure.
