I fucking knew you couldn't let those store bought oysters be the video!!!!! Good man!
🤣🙌🏽
The draped Oyster shells over the light fixture looks awesome, actually really nice touch over the dining room table!
Great family man! Thanks for all your hard work. Nice way to combine two of the most important things in life. North Florida cost to cost
Hey Tug, I’ve been busy lately so I missed your last couple videos., I really enjoy your content so I’ll go back and watch them all when I get a little free time. Tell Crystal that her chandelier is awesome. Keep great videos coming.
Awesome man we appreciate ya watching!
keep up the good work, a lot of us old timers live through you.....
I appreciate that
Y'all are great ! My favorite part of the videos is when you're interacting with each other! I'm glad to see your channel taking off !
Thank you so much!!
the way you speak ,,really nice, humble ,polite .i wish i could send my boss so he can learn from you...
What’s his number I’ll call him! Lol
Love all the things you all do, fishing, cooking, crabbing, trapping, etc. The light is awesome
Thanks 👍
The Oyster shell Chandelier is Awesome! And you are so rite, House Autry is the best Breader!
Yep!
One of the last trips out to the channel and the surrounding marsh we got tide trapped in our little tri-hull. Water where we were was just enough to kiss the bottom of the center V. The outboard though we had to tilt so the water intake wouldn't jam with marsh mud.
Sat out there picking over all the oyster beds in the immediate area. Slogged through knee deep mud to get to a few others. Finished off with handlineing a basket of crabs. It was just about 9 at night when we got out and were able to double net throw for shrimp.
Spent the night cleaning the oysters, heading and veining the shrimp for the party the next day. All the oysters divided into batches and put in the chiller. Crash out for a few hours, go pull crab pots while someone stayed back for more party prep. Move cars, string up the lights. Set the tables, pick up a new 100lb propane for the fryer. Split wood for the fire and descaled the cook plate for the oysters. Burlap sacks in a bucket to soak, build a good fire and arrange cinder blocks around it the plate over the fire. First batch oysters on the plate with a dozen welks, two sacks over and hose to keep it damp. Shrimp in fryer, more head on shrimp in a boil pot with stone claws, sausage, potatoes, corn, onions and lemon halves.
Catfish, snapper filets, flounder, breaded, battered fried. Onion rings, fries from red potatoes. Also had hotdogs for some of the kids that thought seafood was gross. Food came in cycles, shrimp, crabs, claws, hit the table first, oysters next. Peel, shuck, crack and eat fresh off the cook. Eat till you couldn't anymore. Sit back swap stories for an hour or two, second round of cooking and eating. Repeat till midnight or later, leave everything till next day for cleaning up.
Shut down a whole section of a street for that, anyone that happened along was invited. Po-po, neighbors, random strangers trying to find the near by beach. Of course all the friends.
Now that is a party!!!!
That's a great idea about freezing them , I usually end up making oyster fritters .
Great idea!
Been doing the freezer thing for along time and it works very well. 4 lb's in there right now. Throwing the shells back in the water is good for young spat to grow new colonies on the old shells. Spat are baby oysters for your info and Tug you made me hungry. Thanks for another great vid. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.
Yea sir!
Best UA-camr in FL. Mullet rocks too.
🙌🏽
At 3:05 I saw the duck too, all good
Loving your channel! Learning a ton! Keep building up ur library. The revenue reward will come. Glad Blue Gabe had u on his channel.
Thank you
As an old cracker from central gulf coast...I LOVE ya'lls videos. This is how I grew up...scavenging for food. We did not bother with sport fishing. We went after the best eatin possible. Fabulous!
I couldn’t agree more! I live the dock with dinner on my mind
Never tried the freezer method. Fried oysters and fried softshelled crabs are my favorite! Thanks for the video.
I need some soft shells!
Again for fried oysters. I love progresso Italian bread crumbs, fry them and olive oil same as collabs. Just yum
Y’all have great videos! Thank you for emphasizing taking care of the great outdoors God has blessed us with! My wife spent 34 years inspecting corporations making sure they did not destroy this great environment through her career in the EPA! All outdoors people need to do the same thing! God bless you!
Wow, thank you!
Since you ground your boat on some rough bottom you might consider one of those stick on keel guard products. Loved the fried oyster tip, never heard that and it makes sense. Crystal’s oyster chandelier was very cool. Thanks for taking me along on another fun outing.
Great idea
As usual, great video! I live in St. Augustine, hopefully I’ll run into you guys out there on the water some day! Keep up the great content. Just as good as deer meat for dinner! Thanks again!
Say hello if ya do!
I was raised in Virginia and the oysters were very good. Loved living there on the coast. Great video keep them coming.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! Love the chandelier your wife made.
Thank you!
The oyster shell light fixture is phenomenal! Easily 5 bills for artistic value alone. Great video.
She knocked it out of the park!
Grew up in Hastings, lived on Crescent Beach and used to fish out of Devil’s Elbow Fish Camp when it was only mobile homes. So cool to y’all filming in the area that holds a lot of memories for me. Cool vlogs!!
I would have loved to see it back then!
Nothing better than House of Autry's!
No sir!
Saint Augustine oysters are the best hands down
Yes sir!
Hey Tug, those look awesome. Just a little something I’ve learned. Put a wire rack down on top of the paper towel. Drains well .. Great watch!!
Thx
Those oysters looked great and I'm going to give that fry away product a try.
Thank you!
blair witch.......love it
🤣
I really do not care for Oysters Ian but your catching process and other seafood is great, interesting content, keep up the great work! You will have a million subs in mo time at all! I remember when Gabe started out and look at him now! I love your honest and sincere discription's in your posts. Keep up the good work! Shared on FB!
Thank you for sharing!
Another awesome video. Ready to try the fry away on our next catfish/crappie weekend coming up. Keep up the good work.
It’s a great project. Easy clean up
i have shucked 1000's and 1000's of oysters and you did it like a pro brother ,, great job ... i see videos of people showing others how to open oysters and they dont have a clue what there talking about but you did it bang on ..
Thanks man
Hey buddy that was a great video. I love how it just flows. You have got me wanting some fry oysters. God Bless you and the family. Sam
Thanks 👍
LOVE the light!
Great trick with the freezer. Love that one!
Y'all some real folks. Thanks for vid. Keep some regular frozen fry's krinkle cut my favorite an when you are cooking fried fish with flour or cornmeal after you cook a couple batches an then do your fry's. It cleans up your shortening. Number one thing that breaks down shortening is water,meal an salt. I had 9 pots as a manager at captain D's an we always rotated shorting . Last pot was country style bread with cornmeal. . Then it went to the to shortening barrel. Fry pot was always the cleanest. Rotate an save . Adds flavor. Work on ya 3 times a day but one can't beat the flavor. God Bless y'all!!
Great tip on the frys
Great idea on making the oil solid
Yes, thank you
Subscribed. Glad to find a good UA-camr relatively close to where I live 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏼
That looked delicious. I haven't had any fried oysters in many, many moons. I live in Wisconsin now, so no chance for fresh ones. Love all of your videos. I really appreciate how you explain the importance of returning the shells to the beds. I would have never thought of that.
You need some fresh oysters in ya life! Thx
G'day mate another fantastic video and I love the cook up that you do. Love everything about you and your family. So thank you so very much for making these videos for me and I will see you next time mate 🙏🐟🎣🇦🇺

Good luck!
Love your videos bro. You live the life I've always wanted to live
You can do it!
Dude! I’m so gonna get some of that Fry Away! I hate poor in out old fish grease and definitely NEVER poor in down the drain! PS oysters looked amazing 🤜🏼
Thanks !
The Toadfish oyster knife is what have. Works Great!
Yes sir
Awesome video bro! I live in NC and I have family on the coast here, go there 4 or 5 times a year to duck hunt and fish, and harvest some of those NC oysters! I carry a little hammer to nub them with, and I use a toadfish knife as well
Awesome! Pretty up there
Cool video thanks for the tip on the Oster
No problem 👍
Definitely gonna have to try Fry-Away
Yeah! Check it out! Link in the bio…

Always enjoy your videos!! Hello from Wilmington NC aka Carolina Beach. Keep up the great videos!

Thanks for making these video's.
No worries! Thank you
Another great video!!! Good job guys. Y'all are so cute and funny keep up the fantastic work ☺️

We call those quahogs or cherry stones here in Maine. Interesting way to cook them. I'll have to try it
Great video Tug!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks buddy for sharing your videos 👍
Glad you like them!
Fried oysters are the best.👍🏻
Yes they are!
That product is awesome!!! I’ll have to look at getting some of that for my used oil! Thank you for the tip
Doesn’t get much better than a tug video! You’re the man. Love the videos!
I appreciate that!
love the videos man!! keep it up !!
Thanks! Will do!
I don’t know if you’ve already done a video on how to choose the oysters you’re harvesting, but if you have it, I would find that interesting. I’m in the Charleston South Carolina area and there’s places where I can walk and harvest oysters without a boat.
Thank you and keep putting out such great videos
I do have another oyster video if ya chew k that out and can’t find what you are looking for please let me know! Thanks for watching
Fried oysters are one of my biggest favorites! Gosh, that looks so good! Hey, thanks for the tip, freeze first! Gonna remember that!
🤙🏽
You’re making me hungry, looks delicious !
Thanks!
Those little crabs are good
That stuff for the grease was cool nice job
Thanks!
Excellent content. Couple of suggestions. Look up cleaning cooking oil on YT. I use a metal coffee filter to strain the oil and fry some thick slices of potato to clean it. I have been using the same oil for over a year, just adding to it as needed. Also, a wire rack instead of paper towels will leave your food crunchier. I like that product you showed for when you do have to throw some out. I wonder if it would work on old motor oil? You guys are a joy to watch.
Very interesting thanks
Thanks for your awesome video Tug!
Glad you liked it!
Great job! Love it!
Thanks so much!
I stopped using oil for fish and started using Lard. I think it doesn’t weigh the fish down and just tastes better. Might not be healthier but hey can’t live forever.
Also love the videos.
I may try that! Sounds good. Thanks
Freezing? Great idea!!!
Right?!
That beard is getting serious. 😂 great video yet again. Always stoked to see what you’re doing next. Happy to see that flounder board too.
Yes sir! Need to swing by the shop and film a bit.
@@TugTrashOutdoors that would be great.
Ian, Bass Pro has a keel guard product called Megaware that looks pretty good.
Thanks a lot great video now I know how to fry oysters
Man I always look forward to your videos. 👍
Thank you!
Great video! Moved back to Florida last year. At Publix yesterday oysters are a $1.09 each. Looked up harvesting, and found your videos. Anything special about what oysters to harvest? Always heard you couldn’t eat the ones that were out of the water on low tide. That obviously doesn’t look like the case. I looked up our local map, regulation, and season. Think I found our spot.
We’re also going to do some blue crabbing because of your video.
We’re going to be eating GOOD!!!
Thanks for your time!
Love you hear it! Enjoy!
Good video guys!
Thanks!
Good vedio, I shall add freezing step to my fried oysters. I pour my used oil over burn pit logs.
That's a great idea!
OMG deep fried oysters Poo boy sandwiches 🥪
Yes sir!
💩 boy!
Awesome tip on the oyster
Glad to help
Another great video
Thanks again!
I have never given a comment in fact it took me awhile to figure out how to comment...that there oyster light chandelier...hey that ret there kool...
I appreciate it !!
Yummy oysters!!! Nice tip on the freezer use, and the oil trashing product
Thank you!
Awesome video, where do you get the fry away? Hubby fills coffee cans lol . Tell your wife I love the oyster shell light!
There is a link to there website in the description
We fried fish weekly as well. When we were done frying, my grandma would put 1/2 a potatoes in the oil, and fry till dk brown. She said the potato would absorb the fishy flavor from the oil, so that you could use the oil multiple times. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks
I’ll try it!
