Hey CHEF ❤. I love clams and oysters. Looks delicious 😋

It is such a blessing that the Maestro, at nearly 90 years old continues to teach and share his wisdom. Merci chef! I hope to try this recipe soon.

[@beaubromley942]

I agree. I’ve been watching him for years and I’m so glad he’s still teaching.

Love the slogan on the apron, WOW that is awesome. This man is amazing.

Thank you Jacques. Looks delicious. I spent my childhood digging these clams in the Great South Bay, and may I suggest instead of wasting all that beautiful clam juice on your board, that you collect it in a jar, and freeze it or use it in chowder or spaghetti with clams. Precious liquor!

If you pick up anything from this video, it's wiping the little extra bit of Sriracha off with your finger and licking it. #1 it tastes great and #2 it prevents it from hardening on top and making it difficult to squirt next time.

Wow. So good!

[@pskully57]

Yummay! I wish I could get those.

I want that apron.

[@JacquesPepinFoundation]

We love that apron too! Unfortunately, we no longer make that specific style, but we have a newer model available as a gift for donations made to the JPF: bit.ly/JacquesPepinApron
