    Pour le côté caoutchouteux la solution aussi est de ne pas manger la peau du siphon : on coupe comme toi le siphon aux deux extrémités et on ouvre en 2 pour le nettoyer. Ensuite on plonge les siphons ouverts 15 à 30 secondes dans l'eau bouillante (selon la taille) et autant de temps dans l'eau glacée, égoutter et ainsi on peut enlever facilement la peau épaisse des siphons, c'est ensuite très tendre, très fin. On cuisine aussi les 2 petits pétoncles et le pied de cette lutraire souvent en gratin avec d'autres types de palourdes. Super vidéo.

    The gaper clams are larger than the steamers that I dug for as a child. They were only steamed, not fried. Served with butter sauce. The blue lobster was a beautiful shade. Great video.

    Nice to see the female swimming crabs ...
    That gapper is about the size of our razors ... A bit thicker but as wide and long ... Geoducks are bugger all HUGE ...
    Do you have to use hands to clam ???
    A spot of lemon zest in the flour is nice too ...

  • @m.b.6402
    @m.b.6402 Před 2 lety

    (Sadness) The valves are OK. But try purging your gapers overnight, shuck them, strip the skin off the valves, then bread the the whole clam. (Your pick: cornflour followed by egg or milk or buttermilk, followed by crumbs, wheat flour, medium-grind cornmeal, or a mix of flour and cornmeal. Or fine-crushed Ritz crackers...) Then deep fry them or pan-fry them in modestly deep oil. Or I suppose you could pan fry them in just a slick of oil or butter. But...
    These are delicious. Wikipedia thinks that yours are at least close in species to the New England (North Eastern US) steamer clam, or soft-shell clam. At least as similar as your lobsters are to ours as near as I can tell. They should be LOVELY fried up whole instead of throwing away half the clam...

    The stickleback and Dab stole the show. Love the use of sweet chilli sauce on everything you eat (How much are Blue Dragon paying you? ha ha). Great foraging video, I was asked if I could live of the land, tried it for two weeks but only survived by digging up farmers potato's and scrumping apples. Ate all kinds of fungi, blackberries and hazel nuts but said you could not survive unless you lived by the sea. You open our world to sea food.

    A fantastic recipe for these would be to add them into a bowl with fresh pineapple juice, lemon juice, cumin, turmeric, honey, salt nd white pepper.. leave that over night and the pineapple juice will break down the meat and tenderise it 👌🏻👍🏻 take the meat and quickly cook it on a bbq grill.. the juice left over you reduce down in a pan until it’s thick, whisk in a knob of butter and then add some fresh tarragon leaves or Thai basil 👌🏻 even better with a homemade naan on the bbq and some salad.. omfg 😋🤤👌🏻👍🏻

    Do you learn these things yourself by going out and doing it or have you learnt from other CZcams channels. For example, digging up Gaper Clams by hand and how to deal with them and cook the valve fried coated with seasoned flour. Just wondered where you may get some of your knowledge from.
