In Vietnam we called them "nail clam" because their shells look like a fingernail. It's true these clam are delicacy in here but the price is not really expensive like you've said, only about 5 to 6 pounds per kilogram and can be cheaper depends on the season. The best way (in our country) to cook these clam is to grilled them up and served each clam with a teaspoon of lightly pan-fried scallions leaves (half raw) with cooking oil for scent and peanuts. Trust me, the sweet taste of clam meats with the scent of scallions and the taste of peanuts will go great with each other, especially with an iced cold beer pitch (Vietnam ways :D)!
Nice video and thanks for the recipe. I'm going to cook it your way Scott Rea to see how it taste!
Wow mrslow,sounds amazing,that will definitely be one of my future videos,many thanks.Scott.
Scott, that was a microscopic piece of the foot you cut off to eat. In Vietnam, do they eat the whole thing, or just the foot? Why can't you cut off more of it? And for that matter, why not eat the whole thing?
I DID really enjoy your vid, btw...
Well in Vietnam we eat the whole thing actually! Or course for sanitary reason, we usually open the clam and clean it thoroughly with salt water and removed the intestine sack just to be sure (their intestine sacks contain loads of germs and parasites!) but keep everything else intact or boiled the whole batch till their mouth open and grilled them. It is quite a cultural thing as we won't waste any part of the food and throw them away.

im Vietnamese, and i proud about that
As Chinese, we prefer steaming seafood with just a little of seasoning. In this case for razor clam, I use a knife to carefully separate the muscle which is stick at its shell from both side. Then I cut the 'tube' part to clear out all the sand and this is pretty much all I need to do before rinse it off. Finally, just put them on a plate and steam for around 6 minute when the water is boiling. If you prefer though, adding some sea salt, chopped herb and garlic before steaming is an option. Don't forget about the 'juice' on the plate! Mix them with cooked pasta is always a good choice! :D
Asians go mad for 'em.
You're darn right we do!
+Clyde Ng Whats does it taste like?
+Luke “BondHoss” i don't know what to say other than it taste like clam, maybe similar to scallops?
Clyde Ng I may try than
+Mangere4life Some people like to toss away the digestive tract (similar to the veins in prawns) but you should be able to eat everything in there no problem. Just make sure to cook it.
In stores I see them, they removed everything inside and shells except the flesh. My mom made a homemade soup of it, so freaking good 😋
These critters a wide spread a shore lines up and down the East Coast of the US. NO one eats them probably because no one know how to cook them. Another "lost delicacy" recovered for me by Scott Rea
Cheers Tim,your a gent mate,all the best.Scott.
Tim/Scott - for sure! I thought razor clams were only for catching rockfish (striper), but I'm going to give this one a shot next fall!
plenty of people eat them especially in ma, that's what they make "clam strips" out of commercially. whole bellied clams are the favorite (and the tastier option), but then youre getting fried clams or chowdah.
also an invasive species in europe from the eastern us shores.
I mean, you just steam them or griddle fry them. No oven required makes them 1 of the easiest dishes of all with Very high taste & Cool points rewards. 🍤
Nice one Scott. Just eating ..... A plate of razors (or spoots..) I like mine with strips of parma ham, a few cut olives and lemon juice but i always keep the cooking liqueur. If you use just the top of it (not the gritty residue at the bottom) and reduce it down then whisk in a little extra virgin oo its amazing. Definitely gonna try 'em with chorizo now too.Like your vids bud. Andy
They are a filter feeder so there is a chance of getting sick from eating them. If you purge them for a day at least in clean salt water that reduces the risk.
+SmoothRide Scooter no he means to clean their gills and system.
That is right. so they poo out any toxins.
+SmoothRide Scooter no he means the whole razor fish community has 24 hours to commit any crime they please without any consequences
+Bernie Clark theres a chance to get sick from anything
SmoothRide lmao you're funny
They're quite common seafood in Italy. Pasta made with it is awesome.
They're also quite easy and very fun to catch also in deep water (you need a long metal stick). I used to do it all the time until they passed a ban on private fishing where I did it.
+Врач ред wow no private fishing but commercial fishing is ok? thats kinda backwards....
My first cookware after moving out of my parents house looked an awful lot like your pot. They gave me their cookware that they saved, but never used, after they were stationed in Mildenhall in the late 70s. lol
You are only eating the end? I have never had these but I have watched several vids in which chefs and families eat pretty much all of it
actually the whole clam is edible as long as it's cooked thoroughly,nice vid tho!
Definitely. you have to eat the whole clam or it's a criminal waste
I had diarrhoea for 2 yrs after eating the black sack

@@manga8635 yea I want some pics

Very good, Scott. Here in Brazil (Bahia) do not waste water from cooking seafood (it's really tasty) and other parts of the animal. Normally, we do a kind of soup with water, with pepper and lemon, which is amazing. The whole animal is edible, but not the shell. I'm saying this, but I have never experienced razor. Thanks for sharing !! = D
We do not eat this here in Brazil 😧
Yes we do
The clam is used to a certain ambient salinity.The second the extra salt hits it's body parts,it tries to get away from the salinity lever that will kill it.Hence,it shoots out of it's tunnel/hole trying to escape to a less salty area.
These clams exist pretty much all over the world,since they were here before the dinosaurs. They only live in TEMPERATE zones though. No razor clams in S.Florida but,a few up in the panhandle.Northeastern beaches,from Virginia on up to Maine,are a better bet.Still.They are not on every beach.
+Fishkiller 41 I am glad I read your post, I am in Orlando and was ready to hit the area beaches with a box of salt...lol
+Marconi Azize (The Thinker) I'm on the Gulf Coast too and was going to do the same thing..lol. I also saw a video showing people catching and eating sand fleas..but I'm not sure if we have those either and can't get an answer from anyone. Suck that we have all these beaches but can't find these things!
I live in N Palm Beach,we have tons of sand Fleas but no razor clams.
Nightbird I know, miles and miles of sandy beaches and little to do but make sand castles...
Fishkiller 41 Have you tried eating them?
Looks tasty, I never though to try chorizo with clams! I have been catching and eating these my whole life. In my opinion, it pays off to gut them before cooking, they taste better and less bitter than boiling them whole. This way, you can also add them straight into clam chowder or other dishes towards the end and they won't get overly chewy!
We eat the whole thing in New England.
Clean them in water and corn meal to purge the sand and steam them and dip in melted butter and the broth.
Never seen these before. They should be called straw clams 🤪 . In the US razor clams just look a little more flat and longer then a regular clam ...very interesting
Spoots! Haven't caught those since I was a child . 40 years ago on Mull. Good times!
Wait, what? I've been eating the whole thing all my life, minus the shell
Wind can be helped. For a camera, get a sock. Cut out a hole for the lens and camera back. If it's a phone, use a nylon with bits of sock or foam over the microphone.
I cringed when you tipped the cooking liquor away!
Amazing! Wasn't sure when my boyfriend said about Razor Clams but I am now! Looks delish!! Thanks Scott!!
Must be a bloody nice caravan if you have cooker that good, looks fantastic btw.
Use a piece of cotton to cover the mic to stop the noise of the wind
I like to eat the foot of the clams with various sauces, the possibilities are endless and I like to pickle the mantle for salads, that way nothing goes to waste.
stop apologizing for anything! the dish is amazing.
That looks really great and made me feel pretty hungry! You could even use all of those same ingredients and simmer them in some olive oil with minced garlic and some white wine combined as a white sauce and serve that clam and chopped chorizo mixture over a bed of pasta (linguine or spaghetti) to make a full meal. Just add some Italian or French Bread and a side salad with some white wine!
Youre trowing the best parts away mate
I cried when I seen him throwing that cooking juice bursting in flavor...
Yeah that part confused me...
"see that? all the liquors come out?" my mouth was frothing. soon followed by a "just gonna drain em" and my heart dropped.
***** I think it's supposed to be liqueurs.
What are you supposed to do with the liquid?
Thanks for sharing Scott. I don't understand why ppl would dislike this video.
Probably because of the gross wastage.
Lovely video, thanks for sharing. How come you only eat part of them ? I've never tried razor clams, but have tried and enjoyed many other shellfish. Seems a waste to throw the biggest part away. Not criticising, just curious.
Andrew Wheeler I too have no idea why he does that. It's a real waste of good food. And to me even showing disrespect to the animal itself. The only part that I would tend to stay away from is the black part (poop sack), but other than that: I'll eat the whole darn thing. LOL
there're other recipes to cook it, where instead of using chorizo which has a very distinct flavour on its own, spices are used to enhance the clam's natural flavour.
Done a lot of fishing in north wales near holyhead and caught a lot of them, theres a huge mussell bed too in the water of the inland sea at Four mile bridge where I would sit there in the boat cleaning them and ate them all that night lol. Water is so shallow that you can step out of the boat where the mussel bed is
Seems like a waste, only a small piece
That's what I said.
Maybe if you found a Black clam, they probably have bigger "legs" *cough*
they are really really yummy though. def too small of a clam, but worth it!
The flavour pays up for it
Well, hes a butcher. He doesn't waste much, I'm sure he did something else with the rest. I've watched a lot of his videos and he doesn't like to waste anything.
Thank you for explaining the whole process! Nice narration! Cheers
you wasted 75% of the meat, it only takes a minute to peel the gut out.
I remember when I was like 12 or something I ate some and they were amazing
this is brilliant! how possible 34 people dislike this video? thanks for the teaching and enjoy your meal
Seriously, only eat just the foot of the razor. Wow, seen a lot of people scamper for them on low tide, and only eat that little bit. Thanks for sharing.
he could've ate the whole thing, what a waste!!!! :(
that's what i thought also, i come from the east coast of nova scotia and the razor clams we got there were 3 times that size and there wasn't that much wasted, we went waist deep in the nice cold water to get ours, you just look down in the water and see them sticking up all over the place
sairoku Same here, he's wasting 4 5th of the meat. What a shame. This food deserves better, believe me.
Thanks for sharing how to catch them. It is so, so expensive in Malaysia. When we see 10 Euro per bundle , around 1 kg, we always buy it and fry with Fermented Bean Paste -- Taucu, chopped with garlic, ginger and chilli. Fry the chopped ingredient until aroma, add in some white part of the green onion , add in the soaked and washed Razor Clams, add in some hot water and once it opens up, add in the green part of the green onion , stir well and dish up. If cooked too long, the meat will like rubber. Scott Rea cut off so much of the clam away, it is really wasting the yummy clams!
Um, yeah. I think I'll just have the salad.
+Rockets Redglare PMSL its the sort of food my mum would have forced me to eat saying it "will make your hair curl" I had to eat everything she served up if not it got saved for the next meal and the next meal until I complied,, brussel sprouts being the one I hated as a kid but actually like now and guess what? My hairs still as straight as it was when I was a kid! Not knocking it, I may well eat one to see if I like it as I love oysters and scallops but it seemed a lot of effort for a small reward if two thirds of it gets thrown away? Its why I like Scott he educates and its up to us if we want to take a bite (or not) I guess?
Don B Oh yes, I have childhood food trauma too. Mine was more" eat it, or go hungry". My great grandma came from "the old country" and cooked some of the smelliest things ever. Brussel sprouts are good. You just have to put lots of pepper on them and braise them in olive oil with some garlic, and some butter, then hold your nose while you choke them down. Yum yum.
That's such an old fashioned thing to do... o.O
wth why does everyone hate brussel sprouts? They are really tasty
Mostly it's the smell. I agree that they taste really nice, but I'd also make sure to keep all windows open while cooking them :P.
Are we related? My names Tristan Rea and the surname isn't very big around the world but does have good history!! And the surname history does involve people on sea and that. Could be why I love seafood quite a lot
Don't you have to purge their insides by starving them for a few days? because they have sand and other nasty surprises?
It's just rinsed out with water during cleaning
TheTraveler You don't starve mussels for a few days either, do you? ;) You rinse them, let them sit a bit in cold water, rinse them again, and that's it. Most of the sand is gone by then, just like with mussels. And the nasty surprises: I'm guessing you're talking about their poop, right? Well, unlike mussels, I wouldn't recommend you eat the black part if you look at it as something nasty (the poop). It's not a big deal, but I understand that it might make some people throw up. :p
If it's anything like purging crayfish salt water makes them vomit and poo, if you don't purge them they have the poo veins, you do it about a day before, then in the hot tub, I know it may seem cruel, but you gotta get the yuck part out before you eat them, honestly I can't cook lobsters, they scream when you toss them in the hot water.
Kittie Perry That's not screaming, sweetheart, that's their claws/shell that grinds and air that escapes out of little pocket holes. A common mistake people make. Lobsters can't provide sound. ;)
+TheOpelkoenjas Are you sure? They don't have a thorax? That high pitched noise sounds like a scream, and it's right when you toss them in. I watched an episode of master chef where they gave all the chefs a huge live crab, it blew bubbles so I know it was alive. One of the chefs grabbed the large crab and ripped the top of its shell off, I mean completely off, Gordon Ramsey went over to her and told her that not only was she letting out all the flavor that way, it was inhumane what she did to it. There is a grocery store down here I heard that when you buy a fish from the tank they take it to the back and wack it in the head before they give it to you. I couldn't do that job either.
It’s so fun to watch them rise out of the sand
no no no no , there is so much more meat you can eat on that clam . you don't eat out yer wife a quarter of the way ! look on some other videos itll show how much more you could have .
dan moyer you don't eat out your wife 😂😂😂
Lmao 😂 😂
🤣🤣 that’s right 😜👏🏽🤣
Lol
You best not be eating your wives only a quarter of the way. Show some respect and chow down 100%
In Galicia we eat the whole thing on the grill with a little lemon , delicious !!!
Razor clams are amazing. The best razor clams I have eaten was in Barcelona.
Sounds like an excellent addition to a seafood pasta dish
Love Razors... Just as tasty as the steamers we get in New England.
Quite expensive here in hongkong.. But i love frying it with blackbeans, parsley and chilly... Yummy!
Why would a saltwater creature care about salt?
Notice the Snail like skin, salt in the ocean is diluted enough to have no affect. Pour regular salt over and that clams head'll shrivel up, it starts to feel the burn and pops up in an attempt to find water put its top in. (This is all based off nothing, but what i saw.. So take it as a grain of salt;) i guess)
+xiChewy Prolly makes em think the tide came in as well
man, I have the same question :))
Because to much salt could raise the clams blood pressure and most clams are very health conscious. No one wants a hysterical clam with high blood pressure now do we??

Scott - You're a real Ray Mears fan I see.
This was great! Loved the video. But next time try not to breath so laboriously, it was distracting.
Hey I've said the same to your mom it is distracting
Ohhhhhhh you made me hungry!!
And I just finished dinner whats up with that.
Good stuff mate
razor clam in Alaska are much much larger. Also you can eat much more of the clam. Smoked razor clams are a bit chewy but mind blowing flavor.
You got to fish, not buy expensive razor fishes in the fish market duh
they were fished for . so I don't understand your comment.
Scott Rea hey scott love the vids man, now dont jump on me for this i aint trolling, but thos clams get a bit over done? as in they pretty shrunk up, thats a lot of clam for such a tiny plate of food?
***** no, but thats cool lol
+Al Sundays man ur fucking dumb
your personal contact is so cute!
I've had delicious Razor clams in a good chinese restaurant. So good.
As a mexican the way you cooked that chorizo disgusted me
food can be cooked in many different ways. if it's part of your culture to cook it a certain way, it is not always the ONLY way.
+JaySweatshirt im being sarcastic but its just my opinion.
+the golden cake I get that, I respect you though! I totes do. I didn't mean it in a bad way lol
Err so how would a Mexican cook them? And why would it be better for this meal than sweating them in a bit of oil. Thx
Chorizo comes from Spain not mexico.
Windy days are the best😁
ARE YOU MAD MAN????? U dumped the best parts down the drain and into the waste basket!! Shame on'ya!!
Ive seen those before, but they were much larger in Washington state. I never plated them though, but they did look nice. :)
Yum my beach is 20 yards away. Summer treat spoots n cream with lovage and garlic .
Great video mate I'm of down to Cornwall in a few weeks and I'm gonna do this with my kids and try and get them eating food they've caught themselves.cant wait.
Looks delicious and TY for sharing. I live in Washington state and there's a lot of clamming going on. We get those big Gooey Duck clams here.
This video got better as soon as I heard your voice~
I really like to listen to you speak! I’ve seen this vid 3xs lol
I wouldn't eat this but I like this video. You are so apologetic about the wind and it's quite alright. People on here expect everyone to be the greatest at film making and it's just not true. You are pleasant to listen to. Your pot was just fine. Great video!
I came from jersey c.i. We also used a metal coat hanger it was fun getting them ....
Great video! I'm not even sure we have them here on the south coast of Texas (Gulf Coast). But I'm going to look!
Looks like fun. It's not fishing but more like 'harvesting'!
Oh yes Tina you could grill some smoke makrall until it's really crisp and crushe it between you fingers and
sprinkle a little bit on top just before you server
or smoked salmon or bacon or fresh green pesto add only to taste
To Tina Turner and Neil Diamond
Oh, this does look good. I see them sold here in France sometimes. That would be nice with many French sausages, maybe over a homemade mashed potato underpinning. Uprated, shared. :)
..... That would go well on a bed of veggie rice..
..... I dry my own veggies and throw a handful or two of them into each serving of Ramens rice or whatever lacks veggies.. It's a quick, painless way to get more nutrition.. I also forage for nutrient rich foods.. I even dry and freeze foraged foods for winter use..
Wish I was there . Mouth is waaatetrring. Thankyou for this video.
Looks delicious. ("chorizo" doesn't have a t in it.) Would like to try this one day. Thank you!
Awesome Scott. Cheers.
Good video for all the ppl who've never had them there deff missing out because they are delish but you should have saved the boiling liquor and used it for something else,I don't like to waste anything from seafood :-) my fav food and so healthy for you. 100%protein 0%fat.enjoy.
Excellent, I could eat seafood every day. 👍
In these drastic times can they be boiled in just water?
I nearly died when you threw out the pot likker! :( Best stuff for chowders, soups, whatever.
You get top dollar for these in Spain. Most people supplement their income by catching them and flogging them to restaurants. Another thing we don't eat in UK (and we have an abundance of them) is gooseneck barnacles (percebes in Spanish.) Sell in Spain for 50euro a kilo. We don't look twice at them here. Same as octopus, a delicacy on the continent, in UK we use it for crab pot bait!!!
Ha I was laughing so hard when it came out of the sand 😂😂😂
Lovely!! Thanks for the video!
I have never seen this before. Thanks for sharing!
1:36 just like Luke's lightsaber in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back
Amazing as always Scott....Cheers Jeff
I really shouldn’t watch these videos on an empty stomach!!! It looks so yummy and now I’m starving 😡, great post btw.x
Thanks mate great idea to catch them and a even better way to eat them.
oh yeah scott what a dish !
There is another video in a non-English speaking country, where they spot the holes but the creatures are called "ghost prawns". The method is a pvc pipe ?pump assembly that causes a vacuum effect. The prawns (maybe shrimps, but they are big) are sucked up after several pumps and exposed on the surface of the sand.
Really nice video. Would be yummy with garlic too. Why are you only eating half of them? Maybe the other half use in chowder?
My Grandfather taught me to get them with a tub of Salt on the north Wirral beach...
Thx for posting buddy, im gonna try this myself now
I never saw a "razor clam" that looked like a long tube before! But I suppose there are many species. It doesn't say but I'm guessing by his accent, that this was somewhere in the British Isles. I got razor clams off the beach in Washington State but they looked much different from that!
Lâu lắm rồi mới được nghe lại bài này. Hay lắm ạ 😘
Try cook it using receipe Chinese clam spicy cooking they were so delicious craving for it now
I always wanted to catch a few of these and cook them on a hot stone like Ray Mears.
We cook it with curry fish powder and eat with rice....yummmmmm
I’ve never seen such a creature, it looks very interesting and disturbing from I’m sure they’d be yummy since I love scallops.
Here is a suggestion, bring a funnel with you next time to help get the salt down the hole.
Wow great video I never new how or even if you could eat razor clams
Scott if you have a chance, try eating them at a Chinese Restaurant. I'll guarantee that you will L.O.V.E it. Make sure "Steamed" version with garlic!!
