    Awww, this video is awesome! It has grandma in it. So many great times you’ve shared with us where grandma was present. I miss her with her crab traps. Continue to Rest In Peace grandma and know that us viewers miss you too.❤️🤗

    My wife is currently in Niantic visiting friends. I worked as a contractor at the Millstone Nuclear Plant for 13 yrs. Great area. Charter a trip with Capt Kerry on the JB Tackle boat for an epic trip. Don’t miss going to The Oar on Block Island for lunch.

    Raking is hard work. More fun in the summer to stomp the mud and pick them up when you feel one with your feet. Used to do that in Southern NJ.

  • @skorpian34

    I hope you and family try cooking up some of those large snails sometime as it's good bi-catch to make use of. You might get hooked. And with your ability to find, alter and create great recipes you'd hone in on a few ways to enjoy. Escargot with garlic cheese and more. My step dad was Scottish and loved to buy 'Winkles' from the market, cook a large batch then soak em in the brine in the fridge overnight. We would all have a bowl ful the next day and use sewing pins to remove the foot then remove the snail from the shell. It was alot of fun. I brought a container full to school for show and tell and handed everyone pins to try the snails. Everyone was properly grossed out, then ALL tried them and most enjoyed them. I miss those days.

    I can say literally that I've watched all of Viks and your videos. Found you first but took of with Viks channel until I reached where you started to do vids and just started to go back and forth between you guys and boy I can say I've learned so much by watch both of you guys cook. I try to like most videos and if I forget I try to go back but hey if I miss some just know I wish I could like ALL of them . Kinda wish I would have found you guys sooner but hey glad I'm subscribed to you, Vik and fisher. All of you guys are just great and are just helping me get through alot. This is what I long for , just being out, educated and just create great experiences with family and friends and you guys are just that motivation. Thank you so much for these amazing videos. Keep it up . 🧡🖤🧡🖤

    Hi Brook. It is so nice to watch you and your family enjoying clam for a dinner. I have been watching your and Victor's videos for quiet sometime now and i must say I enjoyed it very much. I am from the Philippines and i was watching you and your family eating the clams, etc on the table, i was reminded of the way we eat that way back here in the Philippines especially when we are with our friends or families. We call it a Booodle fight way of eating. We would cook variety of food and after which we will set it on top of the table and we all eat standing with our bare hands, and i guarantee we enjoyed it. 😊 You can watch thru the net and learn how it is prepsred. Enjoy❤

  • @HughJazz69696
    @HughJazz69696 4 роки тому +1

    The only easy way I have found to "bring my clams" with me after a vacation stay has been to steam them, then take the open mostly cooked clams and freeze them and use the broth you just steamed them in as the liquid. Make basically a clam ice block and you can bring your catch with you. But the down side is it limit what you can do with them later. We mostly eat them raw they day we catch them or make chowder if we cook them. Good video, really shows the workout that clamming is. Keep it up you two.

    Hi!
    It’s look delicious ! Perhaps 2 little things:
    First: put yours mushrooms into water with vinegar to clean them.
    Second : you should use the cook jus to make a good sauce very easily : take 2 spoons of corn flour (or classic flour if you don.t have) and ad it in a glass of cold water ( important to not make some grumeaux) . Take some cooking jus, ad the water with flour, some piment d.espelette, and put it on strong fire but never stop turning it. If you’re not it’s can burn... when it’s became more thick, it’s good !
    Kiss from France !

    It's Sunday 2/25/24, I woke up really early and fell back to sleep to dream about clamming. So, I Google to look for the video to see the location I dreamt about. The 1st video was not it. Then this video with this river in Connecticut a place I have never heard of. I will be watching to see what becomes of this place in the future on the news. I will document this in my journal to note this entry. Enjoyed the video.

  • @teamdilligafffishing4058
    @teamdilligafffishing4058 4 роки тому

    Brooke love the videos you and Victor do. I have a suggestion for you try adding some eggs to your boil. I have been doing it for years and they are a suprising delicious addition to any boil up. I usually add them 10 to 15 minutes before the boil is done. They pick up some of the flavor of the spices in the water. Try it you might love it....we do! Thanks for the vid!

    • @brookcristoutdoors
      @brookcristoutdoors  4 роки тому +1

      Ooo interesting addition!! I’d be afraid they’d break up, maybe I’d need a little more gentle of a boil

    • @teamdilligafffishing4058
      @teamdilligafffishing4058 4 роки тому

      @@brookcristoutdoors you would be surprised. I usually add when I drop the sausage in and the boil slows for a few minutes. The shells do crack but the white of the egg has already begun to set at the point the boil returns. The cracking of the shell is what allows the egg to pick up seasoning from the boil water. I promise it is worth the effort in doing. I too was skeptical once... Good health to you Vic and your families. I think your dad is awesome!
