FORAGE and COOK SEAFOOD MINI FEAST - Finding FREE FOOD At The Beach

Whelks, Sea Snails, Limpets & Mussels. I'm coastal foraging on the Oregon Coast for some wild sea food. I have eaten mussels before but i have never tried Whelks or Limpets. I caught the end of a low tide and was able to find plenty of Whelks, but the Limpets were a bit harder to find, especially some that were big enough to harvest.
When it comes to how to cook limpets, it's actually simple. A quick drop in some boiling water and they will pop right off their shells. I will show you how you clean and prepare limpets in the video. i wasn't sure how to cook whelks snails so i had to do a little looking around online. These snails have to be one of the tastiest things i've foraged for so far, along with gooseneck barnacles. I picked up a couple mussels along the way and have to say, i definitely enjoyed these catch and cook mussels. I gave them a quick steam, cleaned and rinsed them. The texture was on point and the taste was probably the best i've had so far when it comest to foraging and eating mussels. I've seen oregon coast sea snails quite a bit considering how often i am out and fishing along the coast, but sea snail cooking and sea snail eating is not something i really considered. But these catch and cook snails were a treat! and i will definitely be eating sea snails again.

ENJOY THE VIDEO?!
