where about ?

What I do with clams is keep them alive in a bucket cover them in corn meal and cover them with seaweed. They will eat the corn meal which replaces the sand in their guts. That way you can eat them whole without all that grit.

Always wondered if that something like that would work. I don't eat them as I strongly dislike seafood but went to catch them with my friends and they all complained they were bitches to cook and eat because of the sand and doing something like this always came up in convo but don't think we ever actually tried

How are you dear

just imagine going to the beach and just seeing some random guy pouring salt into small holes lol

This looks like a sport all in itself! Just like catching nightcrawlers! When I went to Maine as a kid, I remember my dad going clamming and seeing all these long, thick worm like things sticking out of the sand when the tide was out! I never touched them or cared to touch them, BUT THIS brought all those great memories flooding back to my brain! I guess with regular clams, they keep their heads out of the sand... without salt?

Imagine being a razor clam.sitting and chilling in your home and suddenly someone put salt in your home and you come out to be Their food😥

Thanks for sharing this. I visited my Dads hometown of Fraserburgh Scotland last year from Canada and I found one of these razor clam shells on the beach... in april. I smuggled it home and everyone asks me what it is. I didn't know so I started researching and found your video. Kinda gross... the foot on those things, but very cool to learn what the heck it is that I have in my house. Thanks again. Very cool video!!

Great video as usual, Dustin! Sae several suggestions about purging the razor clams. It would be interesting to learn what works best. If you get a chance to try a couple of methods, make a video so the rest of us will learn. Keep up the awesome job!

I always love your cooking. Looked delicious

My father used to soak regular clams in fresh water for a spell, he said it made them spit the sand out! Not sure whether it is true or not but have eaten a few clams in my day and can't remember them being gritty. Thanks for sharing!

I live in New England. I dug up some razor clams but they were stumpy versions of the traditional mollusk. It took some research to find its name was stout razor clamp. Then the research petered out with very little further information...... other than it is the most common shellfish from Maine to South American. The most numerous shellfish on the eastern side of the Americas and bugger all information on it. As a bait, as a food you treat it like the lankier razor clam..... I guess.

Loved this video! Keep up the good work!

Dustin james, good sir. A very enjoyable video my friend!

Okay so I'm not an expert in any way shape or form. And if you don't appreciate my comment i'll delete it or you can, but some of the things you said are just kinda not true. Well i mean they could be, but you pouring salt on the holes like that, it's just not going into the holes fully or its seeping very slowly in them. Try mixing A LOT of salt in water and then pouring that into the holes. The clams will pop out a lot faster as the dense salty mixer sinks to the bottom quickly.

I've never caught razor clams, but I know for years the prevailing opinion was that you had to remove the 'foot' because it was effectively 'barbed' or 'studded' to give it more traction in the sand - doesn't look like it gave you much trouble, though!

Brilliant video,well presented very Informative, nice one pal👍🏻😉

You should get some mini orange construction flags so you can just salt and flag the holes. Be super easy to backtrace your pours.

Hi Jim king, can you tell me what beach this is please

Really enjoyed this one. Are you going to film more camping at the shore? Best to you and yours.

...and NOW we know how the ocean got all its salt water!

I enjoyed your video but as a commercial clam digger in Massachusetts who is mainly focused on razors I do know that the salt works but what people do not realize is that by adding that much salt your actually damaging the meat of the clam if the pom is too highly salt concentrated your essentially destroying the clams meat which will kill it faster and razors have a very short shelf life as it is but for just getting some to eat that's the easiest way

I love your vids

It is good to know. Thank you!

Which coastline were you on? Great video by the way.

That second hole was a lugworm burrow dude the cast was 6 inches to the side 👍

Do they get bigger there? And what is the limit? Here in the NW we have big laws!

Great video. I am down trying to do the same on Turnberry beach. I k ow they are here as you see the boats out to dive/catch them. Not got any yet as I think tide on way back in. Will wait to ride right out. Thanks again

What will happen if you see the hole then dig a spade /shovel, won't there be a razor clam?

Much more successful if you use a small shovel and scrap sand down some then apply salt

Are they salt water?

Aren't those razors small though
