Merry Christmas! Thanks so much for the continued love and support 🙏🏻
The clam looks like the same type of clam we enjoy and I commercially rake in NJ. Hard clam, AKA mercenaria-mercenaria....
But it's probably not, due to the slight verticle striations and the fact that they are not at all the type of clams that exist down there.
I couldn't see the specimen closely enough in the short part of your video. If you would like, post more video or pictures and I'll use my dichotomous key from my marine bio classes 20 years ago and figure it out.
Fun video. Way to enjoy your days, even when the weatherman keeps most on the couch. Living the dream that few have the guts to follow. I'm grateful i took that leap almost two decades ago now. Good work.
Merry Christmas! The trick for the skin to stay on is to score the skin by making angled slits and it won't curl up
Merry Christmas man! Keep the great content commin!
Aw man, the pinned comment is gone. Guess the guy was a 🐔💩
A lot of folks wont really understand when you say "its theraputic". Ive said for years that being on the water is far better therapy than any PHD can give. There are times ill just sit in the boat, drift, and soak up the scenery without fishing. The fish are just a bonus to being out there. Another great vid man.
I feel the same. Living in landlocked CA, I feel my time at the ocean(Cozumel) is very therapeutic. I’m a scuba diver and go there at least twice a year. I know if I didn’t, I would not be very good at work (I’m a flight nurse). I need a reset away and the ocean does wonders. I’m looking forward to the day when I can spend more time ocean side after I retire!
@@MarketingStrategies28Aloha. He didn’t give up fishing, just guiding.
@@MarketingStrategies28huh? Wtf are you saying?
there is nothing like it!
did not give up fishing, I'm no longer chartering full time.
Crispy skin tip - Fillets should be well scaled and room temperature. Once the fillets are well dried both sides with paper towel scrape the skin with a knife against the grain of the scales wiping the knife down each time until very little slime comes off. Make 3 (for the size of that fish) shallow cuts in the fillets perpendicular to the fillets laid out lengthways. Lay the fillets in a very hot pan one at a time immediately squashing them with a fish slice until they stop trying to curl. Turn the heat down a bit and cook until the upper side looks a little over half done. Flip and cook the other side. Generally try to avoid moving the fillets to avoid the skin peeling. Thanks for the videos!
thanks for the tip!
@@KeyWestWaterman No problem. You can also salt the skin for a few minutes before drying/scraping to bring out additional moisture. To clarify, the cuts through the skin shouldn't go through the skin around the edges of the fillets, just through the middle of the fillets.
The evolution of a viewer of this channel: I started watching just for the diving ,kill shots, and seeing fish. Then, I focused on listening to your narrations. Then I "met" Maddaline and Will and all your rotating friends. You taught us to cook so many things. We hear historical tales of how you started in the business. We watched for weeks as your new boat was being built. Then we got to look forward to your wedding as watch your beautiful fiancé became your beautiful bride. And now another year is passing and I realize, I'm hear for the story, and living vicariously through this channel to see how good people enjoy hard work, friendship, adventure and life long learning and growth. I feel like I know you and have even come to care for your well-being. Thanks for more than just a UA-cam vlog. Thanks for opening up and being personable. I watch for much different reasons now. To anyone stumbling around who happened upon this channel, stick around. You'll grow to love it. I guarantee it.
Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share this! The channel has turned into more than I could have ever imagined. And changed my life for the better in so many ways in the process. 🙏🏻 love to hear you enjoy it so much, makes it all worth while for me.
Mojarra is amazing. In Cuba we use them for “minuta”, fried fish sandwich. Fillet both sides and leave tail on then it’s put on a wet breading mixture and fried added to a bun and it’s awesome. Thank you for bringing us along, merry Christmas and happy new year
thats awesome! thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas!
Great video Aaron. Happy new year to you, and Madeline. The dude that posted the negative comment earlier, if he doesn't want to watch, don't watch. It's your life, if you want to do UA-cam full time, that's your business, and totally cool. I'm glad I dont have a negative heart. Must be an awful existence.
glad you enjoyed it! I don't let them get to me, always gives me a laugh. appreciate the support!
My girlfriend and I always watch your videos together, she’s always excited to see cats. I thought that clip of the Tarpon was awesome. Seeing how nimble they are from an underwater perspective is crazy.
haha love to hear it!
Love seeing the spotted cow sitting in the background lol
haha
It was a pleasure meeting you in Publix. Really enjoyed the shore dive! Also saw some Spotted Cow in the kitchen. I know you didn’t get that locally. 😂
The water is my church and my peace being out there when the sun comes up is the best
You're so blessed to have the ocean so close! Merry Christmas
I wont argue that! Merry Christmas!
Aaron, thanks for your dedication to the sport and great videos. Your fans appreciate your work, I know I do.
Merry Christmas! Couldn’t help but notice the Spotted Cow on your counter. What a treat!
If I can’t get my therapy on the water I have you! Happy holidays from south west Louisiana! Much love from my family too y’all’s!
Love your creativity amigo. I know it's kool to see you going 80' and getting a 30lb Cubera, but you showed us that perseverance viarance and imagination will bring home the bacon. Thanks for your videos👊🏼
Hard To get Out
Watching You is
Next best thing.
Tanks !
🙏
Fishing in the big water is awesome but when we grow up in the shallow waters catching bait with our hands an fishing with it just for a bite an watching the fish eat an where they live and swim is therapeutic. Educational from my grandfather. God Bless an Merry Christmas to the Young's! Thanks for sharing y'all.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you, Madeline and Clams.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you both. Miss seeing Will, but I saw his post about his life and how he met you and the rest is history. Great friends are hard to come by. 😊
Merry Christmas! he will be back!
Oh...I wasn't expecting a gift from "the Youngs" today! Thank you, guys.😊❤
we try not to miss a beat!
Merry Christmas. Some of my best days were found after other people thought the day was spoiled.
Cross cutting through the skin will minimize that curling and allow you to get a crunch on it when frying. And I’ve started roasting my potatoes and onions instead of boiling them for a super rich mashed potatoes. Normally I’m making bangers and mash, but I can’t wait to try this Key West seafood version!
I really felt the “it’s therapeutic” part. You guys are blessed to live in an area where you can shore dive even in conditions like that, on any given day. Whereas I have to drive nearly 5 hours to reach the nearest ocean.
Merry Christmas!
I won't argue that! Merry Christmas!
I first off just want to say thank you for posting on Christmas i really appreciate it no one else has and also merry Christmas to you and your family god bless keep doing great videos i love them all u are one hell of a fisherman and i learn a lot from you ! thank u so much!
absolutely! thanks so much for tuning in!
Totally agree about the salt water therapy! Turns a frown upside down 🙁 😊
indeed!
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your wife!
Merry Christmas!
My moms favorite fish! Here in Belize we love our Mojarras !!!
so good!
Merry Christmas
I love your videos they are very therapeutic. Ever since the first ine i watched. You're very calming. Keep filming we'll keep watching!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Will be awaiting the adventures of the new year.
Thx for the video and sneaking out in the weather and getting a fish ! Merry Christmas my friends !!! 🎁🎄🍺♥️😎
Merry Christmas!
Hope you guys had a wonderful days of Christmas. This type of video was a very nice change up and shows that you can enough what you love at any time if you are willing to find a way.
Great video again, showing how true life is in the keys, great tropical paradise days and not so great!! When I was a kid living in West Palm, we used to call those Sand Perch, maybe just a local thing, but yes great eating. We also used them for Snook, clip off the dorsal fin and drop them down up current and the big daddy’s hang low and wait to ambush those perch. Many 30-40" fish hooked up that way, Those were the days.
hey Aaron, thanks for this awesome video! I requested this on your insta and these videos are a lot more relatable for me in central fla. thanks for taking us with you in paradise!
glad you enjoyed it!
Merry Christmas and happy new year 2024.
always appreciate your honesty when it comes to fishing , diving and cooking. i would recommend a salt crust grill for that mojarra . i use that method a lot for smaller fish and i also reuse the salt that i bake with, i just re add egg whites to get the kosher salt moist again to wrap around the fish to cook.
Merry Christmas to the whole family! Happy holidays thanks for the Christmas upload!!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Xmas you two and your floofs from South Africa! Your therapy is my therapy. Your calmness is infectious. I'm in my mid 60's now but in the summer I get into about 6 feet of water or less with flippers, mask&snorkel, dive-bag and a trident and spear soles. Delicate flesh, wonderful tasting so I can identify. You channel is excellent!
Merry Christmas! so glad you enjoy the videos!
Merry Christmas my DuDe!!!!! Just sat down to a great Christmas ending and tadowwww you just topped it right off YEWWW!!!
Merry Christmas!
Yes clams are eatable keep cold cook in fry pan to steam with garlic and white wine.French bread.you need12 for a nice meal.
Air Fryer is the way to go if you want to cook it whole and have the skin come out crispy as a potato chip. I've done a handful of smaller 12" Spotted Rose Snapper in the air fryer and they came out looking like they were deep fried in a restaurant. Score the skin in both directions and oil it down a bit and then 400 degrees in the air fryer and it's a close second to the real thing. Really good.
Happy holidays to you , your new wife, your amazing pets and your freinds. Much love from Québec Canada ❤
happy holidays! thanks for watching!
My holiday stress level just fell 3 notches. Maybe I should watch it again.
love it!
I hope you guys had a Merry Christmas. Great video.
Aaron and Madeleine, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Ken & Maria from Mobile, AL. I understand how you feel having a salt deficiency in your blood. That you for all the peaceful underwater videos.
What I could see of the clam that you were holding is that it belongs in the group classified as hard-shelled clams. This hard clam is commonly called a quahog and is excellent to eat.
Merry Christmas! and I figured it was something like that should have brought it home!
Thanks for the video happy new year
Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka to you, Will, Madeleine, and the critters!
Merry Christmas!
I like these chill vids. exactly my style. Windy and cold in Tampa too. thanks for the vid
🙏
Merry Christmas Aaron & Madaline!
Merry Christmas!
Of course love your videos. What most of us don’t realize is all the life that shallow. Thanks
Merry Christmas 🌲🌲 and happy New year 💐💐
Hey brother look forward to your Monday night releases watched it for years comes to mind watching your cloudy water video have you ever considered going to some of the local fish markets showing what's available so that those that can't get out to do it themselves can at least cook it mail order
we are working on something like that!
Merry 🎄Christmas!
Enjoyable episode
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas. Keep it coming
Merry Christmas!
Time stamp 13:18 "I've been getting schooled by these snappers." I see what you did there, Dibs.
🤣
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas guys love the channel
Merry Christmas!
Hair cut looks good.
Good stuff young 🙌🏼
🙏
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you guys! 🎅
Merry Christmas!
I’m sure if you and Madeline have kids they will be Great Watermen too! Just thought that would be Cool!
maybe one day!
Happy Holidays! You might try putting cuts in the skin, diagonal or x's. Before frying/cooking, prevents curling. I think that's what sushi chefs do. Tight lines
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Score the skin. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and God Bless
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Mr and Mrs Young. Enjoy your first Christmas as newly weds. Will I believe that clam was a middle neck clam. They are good eating if you can find ya a dozen or so. I would just check regs. States are pretty hard core on clam regs since populations are down everwhere.
Merry Christmas! we used to catch little necks a bunch where I grew up, looked just a little different but possible the same. who knows.
Mojarra is a tasty fish, white and flaky. I've used them in fish and potato pancakes, never had any leftovers since everyone loved them. Watching this on Christmas day, Jimmy Buffett's birthday (RIP), merry Christmas and happy New Year to all.
it was delish!
Merry Christmas y’all
Hope you New Year’s is amazing 🎉
Merry Christmas!
parchment paper, place it on preheated pan. Let paper soak up oil, add a little oil on paper for the fillet, and place fish, skin side down on the paper and press enough to prevent the fillet from curling like in your video. I bought some small clay floor tiles, I use them to grill chicken, beef, etc. I place the tiles on the fillet or meat cut, enough tiles so that their weight makes sure what I'm cooking stays flat and cooks evenly but not so much that I press any of the meat's juices out of the cut.
thanks for the tip!
A trick chefs use before scooping the meat out of the pan. Pour wine over the meat. Start the stock on the pan. All the crisp stuff will loosen up. Then pour it in the stock pot. Also keep a Roux in the fridge to scrape in the pan that will thicken the sauce. Then liquify with stock or milk slowly to thin out the roux. Depending if you want a cream sauce or not. Then strain to get your gravy. Hot roux cold stock cold roux hot stock. Or milk.
thanks for the tip!
Merry Christmas Mr and Mrs Young.
Merry Christmas!
Kww Mondays! Merry Christmas

Happy holidays!
Tell Will that Rokkit Kit was in Florida. You guys should really hook up with @RokkitKit and plan his next trip to Florida. You guys are real just like he is. It would be great to share the Key West experience with him. And congratulations on marrying your best friend!!!! May you be blessed with many happy years together!!! And i hope she uploads more paddlinMadilyn videos. So peaceful! Thanks for sharing the keys experience with us! Peace!!! ❤🐠🌏🐳❣️🌎
yea he reached out but we couldn't get weather and schedules to align unfortunately!
@KeyWestWaterman oh, I really hate that!!!!!!! Maybe in the future because it would be great for @RokkitKit to spend a week with y'all! He said he could spend days in the mangroves. And then deep water fishing, diving that great place you showed us with it being like a fish column.... the fort...... I hope it works out in the future! Peace!❣️🌎🐳🌏🐠🌍🦀🦞🦐
Mojarra is awsome! you can catch really big ones on small live shrimp or crushed hermit crabs (no shell). They do grow big and as @locoboy46 mentioned, they make great minuta!
it was great!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Hey, Yes, you can eat those clams, they are awesome.
good to know!
You have a beautiful home by the sea, I'm jealous 😃
we love it!
Merry Christmas y’all ❤
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Aaron!
To keep the skin flat and crispy, dry it out by leaving it uncovered in the fridge for a few hours then salt it and drop it, skin side down, into a hot pan and press it down flat for 10-20 seconds. It will shrink but set in a flat form 👍
I agree brotha!! I get withdrawals when I don’t get my water time in 😂
To make the fish skin crispy you should try scoring the skin in small squares
thanks for the tip!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Does anyone else catch themselves, ducking under the mangroves when Aaron is swimming through? or is it just me. Great content as always. Thank you for bringing us along. Merry Christmas to you both. Looking forward to 2024.
Good stuff. There are actually two types of mojarras The other one is more angular, the one most used as bait, and delicious also. Very white meat. One of my favorites. Great to see one in your videos. .
Hello Aaron !Merry Christmas to you and yours here from the cold and dark Leipzig Germany!!
Merry Christmas!
You have to make a few slices acros diagonal to not make it curl, and fresh fish curls faster, let it rest over night
I let it rest overnight, and didn't do the slices. will try next time
to get your skin crispy for snapper and other species, start in a cold pan skin side down on top of a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Also, ideally, use s weight such as a brick or lodge cast iron weight (wrapped in non stick aluminium foil) - to prevent it from curling up. 80% cooking with skin side down, 20% skin up while butter basting.
Clam is fine to eat. The reason you don't see them is due to them being in the sand a few inches deep. If you find one there are normally more nearby, just follow the way the tide goes.
Day after CHRISTmas Here Brother.. Thanks
Merry Christmas peeps
Merry Christmas!
So..@krobnik identified the clam type. Yes, 0:07 they are edible.
We used to get them off the Tierra Verde causeway on Tampa Bay when I was a kid.
All you had to do was walk in the water knee deep and when you stepped on a rock reach down and pull out one about the size of a softball. This was in the late 60's. We filled up 4 laundry baskets full in 1 hrs.
Now Tampa Bay is to polluted to support this class habitat. Sad... I could tell many stories about how the Bay and surrounding gulf used to be.
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas!
Inspired
🙏
A little tip. Score the skin to keep it from rolling like that. Same with salmon
I know how you feel.....When the weather is this bad I still feel like a fish out of water living out here on the coast....Don't know if you like fried mullet.....I only enjoy it with the skin on!!😎
haha right!
Bearded Clam, used to see a lot of them in the 1970's
Re the clam,I was raised in nz with the saying "you can eat everything from the ocean " if I was looking at those clams they'd be coming home and meeting the frying pan 😂
haha I should have tried them!
