Lobster Rolls & Potato Mountains on PEI with Matty Matheson #Tasty Food

big red who's better at color a little

bit red hey how are ya good

what are you calling for there rat oh

there's Maddy I'm from Toronto

why is there no strip club in PEI good

question call it question got so many

potato farmers out by

yo what's up guys I'm Matty Matheson I'm

here in Prince Edward Island the land of

red sand so I've been going to p.i since

I was a kid my grandfather's had a

restaurant there for about 20 years and

seeing the PGI now versus when I was a

kid is a completely different experience

I'm gonna be checking out Lobster going

clam digging checking on potatoes this

place is sick you've never been here

come here it's in Canada it's by the

ocean if you like lobsters and I know

you do Pei catches 5.4 million pounds of

lobsters annually you've ever had a

great lobster I guarantee that it came

from the Maritimes first thing we did in

PEI was go to Richard's gonna eat some

really good right out the

ocean so I'm down here at Richards and

Brackley Beach and Prince Edward Island

we're gonna get some lobster rolls we're

gonna get some deep fried scallops we're

gonna see what this place is all about

the best restaurants in the world are

places like this because it's like they

have like four or five things and that's

it it's no canned lobster in this place

I don't think

we're very straightforward there's

nothing to done to company data at best

when this place has been here for about

35 years I've had it for five I will

open the beginning of June until the end

of September

but we're primarily July and August our

big months this is unreal we got our

order we have like the most unreal

looking lobster roll I've ever seen this

is like a whole lobster on here if your

lobster roll doesn't have a claw on it

then it's not real lobster you should

throw it on the floor

just pure lobsters like a pound and a

half of meat on a brioche grilled

buttered bun this tastes better than the

first you've ever eaten in your

life in Toronto people always try to

mess it up even when they try to make it

simple they still kind of mess it up you

know but I think it's really important

to I mean I know is that the lobster you

use we steamed ours and seawater we cool

them down and sea water so it's you have

that saltiness which I think sometimes

if you're getting over processed it it

loses that so here we got some scallops

there's scallops they call them scallops

on the East Coast it's almost like bone

marrow how soft it is I've got some

chips and you got some huge steamers

have you seen a clam that big oh my god

everything here is like perfect you know

you've got a shack on the sides of beach

and you have perfect seafood I've had

hundreds and hundreds of lobster rolls

all around North America and you know we

just had one of the best ones I've ever

had I wanted to thank you thank you it's

pretty amazing

we're good

keep it Canada next stop was definitely

one of the best things I've ever done in

my life

clam digging in Georgetown with Pei

Perry we're about to go on Perry's boat

we're going to go check out some lobster

traps I'm going to put a wetsuit on go

clam digging actually haven't been on a

boat since I was a kid it's going to be

13 degree water my balls are going to

shrink up we're going to check out some

clams actually we're going to take you

five miles out there's an island out

here off the coast and we're going to

get you in the water and we're going to

dig up some clams these clams are about

a pound two pound clams okay

going to shuck a couple raw see how you

like them and then we're going to cook

up a couple steam and seawater yeah

buddy

and that's so that's the way I like

doing them a lot of people put all the

stuff in them you know your chef and I'm

sure you doctored them up pretty good

but seawater is great the island that

we're going to actually my grandfather

my father were born and raised there so

okay I have history down in this island

and I would like to back my hand I've

been around a thousands of times yeah

and it's a great place to spend the

summer down there

we got a lobster trap whoever you want a

Hollett subshells yep okay man you pull

her up there there's a few tips that we

always like to tell people if they're

looking to cook a good laughter now you

could let you tell people but I always

look for a nice hard shell if you're

buying inside of a store look for a long

long antenna they should be small enough

to thread a needle okay

if they're chewed off down here they've

been in that fishbowl quite a while to

each others antennas so look for long

antennae hard shell piece out got a crab

trap too if you want to see it yeah crab

trap

you only get 35 cents a pound for 35

cents a pound so you got to get quite a

bit before you can make a day's pay yeah

I've never had crab the whole time I've

been coming to Pei is that right yeah

I've never had crab well we'll keep a

couple crabs here and later on when

we're doing upper clams will fire them

in the pot because they're amazing

this is the first time I've ever caught

crabs

I've never put on a wetsuit you know

like I was in my sexy sweat suit you put

the zipper to the front center in the

back yeah but I'm sorry I forgot yours

Maddie won today we go to the beach and

then we do a real clam boil so we just

grab some some water right from the

put the probably the crabs on top okay

let's just the girls like this she'll

put them in some water get some salt

awesome yeah seems kind of mean

there you go this chowder is the best

town and then you put the hot clam

chowder back into it to warm up the clam

don't tip your whole hand into it and

then here you go there's some real

authentic clam chowder buddy there's so

much body and earthiness like boo mommy

just in that water and anything you'll

ever buy this is crazy

forgot those crabs that we got today

there you go no crab meat claw just the

way much like when we used to eat crabs

lobsters we never ever used forks knives

now everything was just with your hand

put them into crunchers we're catching

crabs and clams over here cooking them

on the beach this is like a beautiful

thing more people should do this

we're at the New Glasgow lobster suppers

it's a 500-person dining hall and we're

going to go eat some lobsters with Carl

back in 1958 that's what it looked like

and the price of that lobster dinner was

a dollar 15 and concluded to dance okay

included all right we're gonna go check

out the kitchen

right Carl yeah okay so what we do is we

we bake all of our breads and rolls

fresh every day

you know for serving seven eight hundred

people I mean we we average to a two

rolls per person right I'd be like 1400

rolls how much is this guy that's a five

pounder you have 20,000 pounds of

lobsters in their holding tanks at a

time do you think this guy could break

your head oh yeah yeah yeah he took that

band off

he's like Leo on the front of the boat

now this is the pinnacle moment of

becoming a man in PEI cooking your own

lobster a new glass the lobster suppers

now that's going to take one hour to

Steve already the biggest loft

you ever seen

but to eat a five pound lobster it's

about 75 years old probably I'm probably

going to sweat a lot this is the unreal

this is it what you guys know about

eating lobsters not much

I'm a big guy you know I'm hungry I

thought I could eat up five pound

lobster we'll see by the end of this

you want this to get out of my face over

looking at this I just want some pie

maybe a cup of coffee maybe a blowjob

built on potatoes PEI grows over 88,000
