    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @charleshatcliff5588
    @charleshatcliff5588 Před rokem

    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!!
