I'm not sure how I got here - I fell down the RUclips rabbit hole. But I am sure glad I took the trip. What fascinating videos - thank you for offering up such awesome content!
- Haha. I don't know how you managed to find us Aimee I am just glad that you did. If this is your type of video then I know we have a few more you are going to love!!! Welcome to our channel and have a great day. :)
- Thank you and welcome to our channel. I am glad that you feel welcomed by the tone of the videos as that is exactly how I pictured it mentally when I started making them. I just pretend that I'm talking to my friend who is with me. :D
this is so heart warming.....I wish my dad did these things with me and i had a partner to share those things with. Thank you for letting the world know there still are great people out there.
demenes - We are simply sharing what we love doing. Our lives are far from simple but we do everything we can to make sure we enjoy ourselves together. Positivity is a mindset and I really am a believer that if you can maintain a strong positive outlook, good opportunities will present themselves. 😊👍🏻🎣💙
@@TheFishLocker thank you for the kind words. My life is far from simple as well, recently divorced and trying to figure out where my place in this world is. It gets really hard sometimes to keep a positive mindset. I hate being told its not you its me. That destroyed myself worth and im having a hard time trying to regain that. It feels good to see people who love each other and are willing to stand in the cold rain together showing the world there passion. Thank you again .....Best of luck to you and your family......god speed
I can sit and watch your channel for hours. Your videos are interesting & educational, the catch always looks delicious, and they're peaceful to watch. I look forward to many more shoreline picnics with you all!

I'm not a fan of seafood but I really appreciate your commitment to sustainable harvest and educating your viewers. It makes me almost want to try more seafood.
- Thank you very much, I am glad that you share our philosophy and picked up on the tone of our video. I hope people can take away useful information from our videos and respect the environment also. :)
How lucky James is having a dad who knows it all about the sea and shore line and he has a mum who can show him how to cook everything, nice to see Mrs fish locker getting stuck in i always feel hungry after watching her cook things lol and i have just had my evening meal; James cracked me up with his lazy garlic and so nice yummy he's a star in the making god bless you all.
The way you're careful of how you interact with nature and your small contributions to conservation make this such a great channel. Interesting and informative keep it up!

I have been fascinated by marine life since I was a young boy so being able to share all of these things with you is a really joy. If these types of videos are your thing then we have some others you should really enjoy. :)
I like how you explain everything I stumbled apron your channel randomly and I love it! I did not know you could find so many different things in seaweed. I actually would want to do this but I feel like i would get pinched by a crab or lobster. I like how your family all contributes to the cooking, everything looks good when you guys cook it! Overall great channel!
Elephant in a top hat - Thank you so much. We love doing this type of thing together and I have honestly been waiting since before my boy was born to teach him these things. You can have a good search on the shore and still stay well out of nipping range. Haha. As your confidence grows you can get closer to the animals. 😊👍🏻🦀🦞🐚
These videos really make me want to go coastal foraging myself! Unfortunately, I don't think the beaches around where I live have much shellfish. But it looks really fun, and these videos are really relaxing and informative! I'm really glad I stumbled upon your videos. I love how your wife and son are involved too! It seems like a fun family bonding experience :)
BewareSafety - Thank you very much and welcome to the channel, we love getting out and about on the shore or in the boat together. Great family fun. 😊👍🏻🐚🎣
This channel is so interesting. Its really made me want to check my local beach and rockpools for shellfish. Keep it up man,every video you make is so good.
- That is wonderful to hear. If our videos help to encourage people to take an interest and learn more about the natural world around them they have been worth making. :)
Oh my goodness your son is so adorable ❤️ and I love watching your wife cook and watching you search for your lunch it’s very entertaining and informational! Thank you so much for sharing .
Thank You for reminding me what it is like to enjoy the fresh food on the beach. I used to live in the north of California USA and back then (40 years ago) I used to do very much the same thing that you show right here. Anyone that is watching this series I can tell you from personal experience that this is not a staged video, what you see is exactly what you will find! I moved to the southern United States (Florida on the Gulf Coast) and kind of (for lack of a better word) out grew the hunting. Thank You again for reminding me what it is like to beach hunt. We have such lovely beaches here on the Gulf Coast away for the tourists, I guess you could say that you re-awoke me and now I have decided it is time to quit paying for some "farm" to raise this food and go back out and enjoy the beaches and the FREE MEALS that the seas provide us every day. Thank You once again for opening my eyes to what I out grew and missed, Have a GREAT 2020 and keep sharing your videos with the world.
DAVID VINCENT - Thank you David, it really is our pleasure. We are simply sharing what we love doing with people of a similar passion. I am so very glad to hear you have enjoyed our videos and that rekindled your love for foraging. Best of luck and enjoy yourself sir. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀🍽

I love watching your wife cook! She knows how to prepare the shell fish! And she teaches well also. I find myself watching these videos over and over again. They are relaxing!
People are so judgemental. If they would pay attention they would see you wife is giving information that could save them from being very ill. I didn't know that if you cook the mussels and they don't open, they are bad! The way she speaks is so relaxing to me. Thank you for your appreciation to my comments. You and your wife are OK 👌 with me. P S. I am disabled, cause I had a stroke and sometimes things are very difficult to understand. So I appreciate you and your wife making this understandable to me. I love watching you, this is so interesting, and not being a seafood lover is what I'm amazed with! Please continue to have your wife do her thing. And she is so pretty. You both make a beautiful couple! Sorry for the long response!
@@TheFishLocker Yes, getting through them steadily. I live in Wexford during the summer, which has a very similar coastline to Cornwall, so can't wait to get back and put your lessons into action. Shukran from the UAE!
Robert Kennedy - We holidayed down on the Hook Peninsular a few years back. It’s a love place. Good luck with the foraging. Afwan 😉 from Cornwall. 👍🏻🐚🦀🍽
I love you guys .. I loved your accent and I really enjoyed everything you did,I told myself I will just watch the video quickly ..but I found myself watching it passionately till the end
Manee Byda I agree I also love there accent and also love there content. Did I mention I love catch and cook videos most importantly seafood catch and cook videos!!!!!!!
Found your channel by chance, and I love it. Have watched several videos and subscribed. I’ve never done any coastal foraging, but it all reminds me of growing up in Maine and exploring tide pools when I was younger. Very wholesome and informative content. Thanks, from South Carolina.
Babylovesnot - It is our pleasure and welcome to our channel. I am glad you’re enjoying our content. It sounds like you have some great memories of the shore. If you do manage to get out, good luck with your foraging. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
allan cox - Thank you Allan, I love nothing more than getting out and about with the family. You don’t make memories sat at home watching daytime TV. 😉👍🏻🎣🐚🦀
Hi fish loker I've been watching your videos for a while and they are absolutely 100% 5 stars "not 5 i give you 7stars" but this video with your family I love it coz remind me ME and my 2 kids and wife in Brighton and all the coast of Margate and we catch loses of sea food "we are from portugal but we move to London 11years ago" "and cook them straight away and this video make me feel those day's I've been missing 😊so keep posting your videos "I'm here to watch "😅😅 and enjoy you and your family 👌👌👍👍
SO.....I live in the High Plains of New Mexico USA, which is just as dry and landlocked as it sounds like. but I was born in England and I told my husband that someday I would take him to the shore to do just this.
sonja frost - I can only imagine how dry it must be there. I have always been drawn to the sea. Most of my jobs have been something to do with the ocean. I hope you and your husband make it back here some day. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀🌊
A well rounded presentation by you and your family. A very wholesome view of a family in touch with nature and the out of doors. Your videos bring on a viral peace , well received. Thank to you and the family.
Isotelus - Thank you very much mate. What started as a hobby is fast becoming a very enjoyable family activity. I am glad that people are enjoying our content. All the best and have a good day mate. 👍🏻😉
Another great informative vid from the gang. I eagerly await the next one as always. I appreciate Hannah’s info on cooking, especially fish as I seem to mess up quite often. Take care gang, as I know the weathers bad down there. See you soon
Thank you, good video, once again I have to say that yes, you are a person of good principles, true, and especially honest. Congratulations again. You can catch all of + - and teach people in such a true and natural way, and in this last video neither you nor your family smiled because of the weather. And that's why you really deserve my respect and many families here in Europe, and Ireland, ask to continue. Many families, even many who don't like you tube, really liked your videos. Please continue, keep your values, principles, and honesty above all. And you dont need to know the name of everityng. Please Carry on.
It gives me joy to see these videos from you foraging and teaching life and value to your boy as well. I'm from NYC so as you can imagine, trying to forage here is undesirable with all the pollution! Keep up the informative videos!👌😁
You guys are great! Another goodun. Young James will be taking your wifes place in a few years, he's definitely a sea-cook in the making (donning the favourite towel and everything lol). God bless you John and family.
Behold, I stand at the door - Thankyou very much. We have our challenges like all families do, but we always try to enjoy ourselves together. James as always takes centre stage. He loves being involved. God bless you and give our love to your family. 😊💙🎣🐚🦐🍽
Love the videos, I get to live vicariously through them. I've always wanted to forge for food, especially shellfish but I don't live anywhere near the dea or any body of water (I live in a desert). Hope you and your family are able to go out soon enough.
- Hi there, I am glad you are enjoying the videos and living vicariously through them. Who knows where the future may take you, you may one day be by the ocean and now you know where to look. ;)
I can't get enough of the coastal foraging I did it as a kid growing up on Canvey Island with winkle sandwiches a Sunday treat if we had company down from London, also eating raw rock oysters while fishing the Thames estuary, good to see the young lad getting involved too teach them these basic skills they will survive anywhere, great show 👍
I love these videos, I've recently discovered them and it's something I never knew I'd be so fascinated with! Makes me wish for seafood lol keep on with the good work, and the family looks so cute!👍
- Hi Skylar, I have been telling people this for ages. You don't even have to want to eat everything to find it interesting where it comes from. Have you seen our most recent upload. That really is one of my favourites. So much fascinating life to be found. :D Best wishes and stay safe.
technique187 - Looking at the forecast that isn’t going to be any time soon. I went out briefly today to try and collect some bait for a fishing session and nearly got blown away 😆
I love just binge watching all of these videos! They are amazing and just generally wholesome and amazing! I stumbled upon your channel and so glad I did! I love how respectful and knowledgeable you are for nature and just how great your channel is! I think these videos are so relaxing and I love how you walk us through a do show us what you did. Amazing. Please keep going with your channel!
- Aww thank you Jenny that is very kind of you to say. I am thrilled that people are enjoying our content. We are simply sharing what we love doing in the hope others will enjoy it too. Haha. "And a lemon!!" That little man is such a character. Have you seen our latest foraging video? He drops another couple of brilliant one liners in that too. Hahaha
Lovely video! Thanks again for showing us how to forage sensibly around our shoreline. Oh, an' your little'un when your missus is cooking "and a Lemon". Great stuff!
Again another great video ,, As an old fisherman i just all your videos especially involving the family ,, Dan from a very frosty Ireland , thanks ,,,,,,,,,
- Thanks Dan, I am glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. Its not been much better here over the last fortnight. Down into the minuses and now just damp. :(
Absolutely incredible the amount of sea life you have on your shore! I've never seen anything like it. A perfect outing for the fam... a walk on the beach and a bit of a fresh meal.
- Where is your local shore Jamie. The area around here is a really fertile area due to I believe a conscientious local population. The litter is quickly picked up and any foraging is sustainable. We are very fortunate. :)
I love it how I'd be walking along this same stretch of beach thinking 'Seaweed, seaweed, shells, seaweed'. Meanwhile, during my stroll, you'd be finding enough seafood to give a good cook-up for your family! It's heartwarming to watch your conservation in these videos also, putting back and leaving the smaller crabs, etc.
Been binging water-related videos recently: Man + River, Subnautica playthroughs, and now I'm here! Praise algorithm for recommending me to a great channel. Passionate for the sea, family man and very active in the comments. You've got my subscription!
- Welcome to our channel Naty, its weird how that algorithm must work. But hey, it Brough you hear and we are glad to have you. I am very happy to hear you have enjoyed our video and hope you enjoy the rest of our content. ( If you liked this vid I have a feeling you will ) All the best to you and have a great day.
Where am I all this time, your channel is really great. I almost forget how exciting it is to camp on the beach and eat fresh seafood together with friends! Also respect for your constant 'reminder' not to be greedy, and lessons about which one to take and which one to release, a lot. Bless you and your family, stay safe!
Thank you, I am glad that the message transferred across in the video. It is something we are teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. 😊
Absolutely lovely seeing you return to older posts just to respond, really nice. I absolutely adore this channel, I’m a new fan and a hardcore one at that! Stunning family and fish knowledge on par with any marine biologist I know of! I’m quite fond of these cook ups and eat at the ends do please continue making them. It’s a lovely sight for sore eyes seeing your lovely family eating and scourging around during these times. All the best wishes, Erik
- Thank you Erik, I do my very best to answer all comments on every video no mater how old. Occasionally one or two slip through the net but I do what I can. Welcome to our channel. :D As soon as things are safe enough for us to be out and about together we will do some more shore cooking. Best wishes and have a nice day. :)
Zerostar369 - We have sour challenges like all families but understand that all things are better faced as a unit. We always do our best to enjoy ourselves together. Whatever we are doing. 😊👍🏻💙🐚🦐

Love your videos, guys! They're relaxing, fun, and educational. And it's fun to spend the day exploring and cooking with your family!
TheEditor - Thank you very much. 😊 It sure is a blast searching around in rock pools and cooking up on the beach. 😊🍽🐚🦀
I love watching your wife cook! She knows how to prepare the shell fish! And she teaches well also. I find myself watching these videos over and over again. They are relaxing!
Queen A.K.A. Misty YVETTE - That is great to hear. She has received quite a bit of negativity in the past. So this is great to hear. 😊👍🏻🐚🍽
People are so judgemental. If they would pay attention they would see you wife is giving information that could save them from being very ill. I didn't know that if you cook the mussels and they don't open, they are bad! The way she speaks is so relaxing to me. Thank you for your appreciation to my comments. You and your wife are OK 👌 with me.
P S. I am disabled, cause I had a stroke and sometimes things are very difficult to understand. So I appreciate you and your wife making this understandable to me.
I love watching you, this is so interesting, and not being a seafood lover is what I'm amazed with! Please continue to have your wife do her thing. And she is so pretty. You both make a beautiful couple!
Sorry for the long response!
Love this channel and what a adorable family !!!! Your wife is so sweet when cooking with your son.
JW K-TV - I just adore them both. 😊💙
On a binge of these vids. Brilliant
- Great to hear you're enjoying the videos Robert. We've just put a new one up last night if you haven't seen it already?
@@TheFishLocker Yes, getting through them steadily. I live in Wexford during the summer, which has a very similar coastline to Cornwall, so can't wait to get back and put your lessons into action. Shukran from the UAE!
Robert Kennedy - We holidayed down on the Hook Peninsular a few years back. It’s a love place. Good luck with the foraging. Afwan 😉 from Cornwall. 👍🏻🐚🦀🍽
I love you guys .. I loved your accent and I really enjoyed everything you did,I told myself I will just watch the video quickly ..but I found myself watching it passionately till the end
- I am so thrilled to hear people are really enjoying our content. We are simply sharing what we love doing. :)
Manee Byda I agree I also love there accent and also love there content. Did I mention I love catch and cook videos most importantly seafood catch and cook videos!!!!!!!
“Silly garlic” sooo cute!!

All im doing this quarantine is binge watching your videos 😅
- I am glad that we are able to bring you at least a short distraction during these stressful times. :)
Same lol
Your son is such a trooper, very adorable and cute. Bless u and ur family.
Amitzy Raizy - You have no idea. Haha. That little man melts my heart. 😊💙
This is the best way to spend time during quarantine, keep up the good work!
- Thank you Fernando, best wishes and stay safe. :)
Found your channel by chance, and I love it. Have watched several videos and subscribed. I’ve never done any coastal foraging, but it all reminds me of growing up in Maine and exploring tide pools when I was younger. Very wholesome and informative content. Thanks, from South Carolina.
Babylovesnot - It is our pleasure and welcome to our channel. I am glad you’re enjoying our content. It sounds like you have some great memories of the shore. If you do manage to get out, good luck with your foraging. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
This is what it’s all about, family and nature.
- I could agree with you more. We love spending time together out on the shore or in the boat. Family fun in the open air. :)
Great video as normal, like the way the family are all involved, great life john.
allan cox - Thank you Allan, I love nothing more than getting out and about with the family. You don’t make memories sat at home watching daytime TV. 😉👍🏻🎣🐚🦀
Hi fish loker I've been watching your videos for a while and they are absolutely 100% 5 stars "not 5 i give you 7stars" but this video with your family I love it coz remind me ME and my 2 kids and wife in Brighton and all the coast of Margate and we catch loses of sea food "we are from portugal but we move to London 11years ago" "and cook them straight away and this video make me feel those day's I've been missing 😊so keep posting your videos "I'm here to watch "😅😅 and enjoy you and your family 👌👌👍👍
Really glad it brings back happy memories. We are glad to have you onboard!
@@TheFishLocker it's a pleasure to be on board
Keep up the good work. Can't beat cooking and eating fresh seafood on the beach. Thanks for the complete instructions.
Michael Blackstock - No problem at all. It is our pleasure. 😊🐚🦀🍽
I'm so glad I've found this channel!
It's so relaxing watching these videos and you learn a lot! 🙂👍
MrVisa1000 - I am glad you feel that way. All the best. 😊👍🏻🐚🦐🍽
So lovely and peaceful and educational to watch! Your wife is very lucky, constant seafood supply! 😁 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Just a shame we can't get out to collect it right now!
SO.....I live in the High Plains of New Mexico USA, which is just as dry and landlocked as it sounds like. but I was born in England and I told my husband that someday I would take him to the shore to do just this.
sonja frost - I can only imagine how dry it must be there. I have always been drawn to the sea. Most of my jobs have been something to do with the ocean. I hope you and your husband make it back here some day. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀🌊
I love watching you and your wife interact with your son. Such a beautiful family and great memories for James.
- We have our moments and no doubt some people will disagree with the way we do things. But we are doing our best. :)
Great job at being parents and showing the little one the ways of the world, and where stuff comes from, and how to survive.
Ruthless Goat - I have honestly been waiting since my little boy was born to teach him these things. 😊🐚🦐🍽💙
A well rounded presentation by you and your family. A very wholesome view of a family in touch with nature and the out of doors. Your videos bring on a viral peace , well received. Thank to you and the family.
Isotelus - Thank you very much mate. What started as a hobby is fast becoming a very enjoyable family activity. I am glad that people are enjoying our content. All the best and have a good day mate. 👍🏻😉
Love it! It’s amazing how entertaining is to watch the whole process, from foraging to cooking and eating 🍽 😁👏🏼👍🏼
Family on the Fly - Thank you. It great to hear you are enjoying our videos. All the best. 😊👍🏻🐚🦐🍽
Another great informative vid from the gang. I eagerly await the next one as always.
I appreciate Hannah’s info on cooking, especially fish as I seem to mess up quite often.
Take care gang, as I know the weathers bad down there. See you soon
Stephen King - Thanks Stephen. Aye the weather shocking down here atm. Fingers crossed for better. 🤞🏻👍🏻😊🎣
This channel growing fast now must be all that great content congrats 👍
the1whoknox - Thankyou. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
@@TheFishLocker I've been fishing for 15 years now your knowledge has been a huge help "you never stop learning" tight lines
Thank you, good video, once again I have to say that yes, you are a person of good principles, true, and especially honest. Congratulations again. You can catch all of + - and teach people in such a true and natural way, and in this last video neither you nor your family smiled because of the weather. And that's why you really deserve my respect and many families here in Europe, and Ireland, ask to continue. Many families, even many who don't like you tube, really liked your videos. Please continue, keep your values, principles, and honesty above all. And you dont need to know the name of everityng. Please Carry on.
Nuno Raposo - Thank you for your comment. We will continue to make our videos for as long as we are able. 😊👍🏻
It gives me joy to see these videos from you foraging and teaching life and value to your boy as well. I'm from NYC so as you can imagine, trying to forage here is undesirable with all the pollution! Keep up the informative videos!👌😁
prallday168 - We will do our best. Thank you and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀🍽
I adore ur family. U make my family smile. I watch with my son and he is consistently laughing. Thank you for the joy you bring us!
Adria that is all that I hope when people watch our videos. That they help and bring a little joy. 😊
This channel and the Life in Jars channel really just shows how much everything around us is living.
- Thank you. 😊
You guys are great! Another goodun. Young James will be taking your wifes place in a few years, he's definitely a sea-cook in the making (donning the favourite towel and everything lol). God bless you John and family.
Behold, I stand at the door - Thankyou very much. We have our challenges like all families do, but we always try to enjoy ourselves together. James as always takes centre stage. He loves being involved. God bless you and give our love to your family. 😊💙🎣🐚🦐🍽
Such a lovely family!
Simple food but looks great especially with all the effort to make it!
Looks delish 😋 🍤 🍋 🌊
Dear-Rhiannon - Thank you very much. Have a great day and all the best. 😊👍🏻🐚🦐🍽
Love the videos, I get to live vicariously through them. I've always wanted to forge for food, especially shellfish but I don't live anywhere near the dea or any body of water (I live in a desert).
Hope you and your family are able to go out soon enough.
- Hi there, I am glad you are enjoying the videos and living vicariously through them. Who knows where the future may take you, you may one day be by the ocean and now you know where to look. ;)
I can't get enough of the coastal foraging I did it as a kid growing up on Canvey Island with winkle sandwiches a Sunday treat if we had company down from London, also eating raw rock oysters while fishing the Thames estuary, good to see the young lad getting involved too teach them these basic skills they will survive anywhere, great show 👍
rob power - Thankyou very much Rob, aye the little man will get involved in anything that he can bring a digger along to. 😆
I love these videos, I've recently discovered them and it's something I never knew I'd be so fascinated with! Makes me wish for seafood lol keep on with the good work, and the family looks so cute!👍
- Hi Skylar, I have been telling people this for ages. You don't even have to want to eat everything to find it interesting where it comes from. Have you seen our most recent upload. That really is one of my favourites. So much fascinating life to be found. :D Best wishes and stay safe.
Your son is really funny and he makes the video 1000x better!
Also I hope your channel turns out well!
As always, I thoroughly enjoy watching The Fish Locker videos. Hopefully the weather is good for your next outing.
technique187 - Looking at the forecast that isn’t going to be any time soon. I went out briefly today to try and collect some bait for a fishing session and nearly got blown away 😆
I love just binge watching all of these videos! They are amazing and just generally wholesome and amazing! I stumbled upon your channel and so glad I did! I love how respectful and knowledgeable you are for nature and just how great your channel is! I think these videos are so relaxing and I love how you walk us through a do show us what you did. Amazing. Please keep going with your channel!
- Aww thank you Jenny that is very kind of you to say. I am thrilled that people are enjoying our content. We are simply sharing what we love doing in the hope others will enjoy it too. Haha. "And a lemon!!" That little man is such a character. Have you seen our latest foraging video? He drops another couple of brilliant one liners in that too. Hahaha
The Fish Locker thanks so much for replying! Again love your videos and channel! Keep doing! 👍
Lovely video! Thanks again for showing us how to forage sensibly around our shoreline. Oh, an' your little'un when your missus is cooking "and a Lemon". Great stuff!
Rob Clitheroe - Haha. It is our pleasure Rob. Our little man is such a character. He has us in stitches of laughter all the time!! 😆👍🏻🐚🦀
Again another great video ,, As an old fisherman i just all your videos especially involving the family ,, Dan from a very frosty Ireland , thanks ,,,,,,,,,
- Thanks Dan, I am glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. Its not been much better here over the last fortnight. Down into the minuses and now just damp. :(
These kind of videos are therapeutic to me. I love it. Please keep them coming!
Lebanese Dane - We will do what we can. All the best and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🐚🍽
Absolutely incredible the amount of sea life you have on your shore! I've never seen anything like it. A perfect outing for the fam... a walk on the beach and a bit of a fresh meal.
- Where is your local shore Jamie. The area around here is a really fertile area due to I believe a conscientious local population. The litter is quickly picked up and any foraging is sustainable. We are very fortunate. :)
Your little family is so cute. I just found your channel and am addicted. Thanks for your awesome videos!
Bailey Belle - Hi Bailey and welcome to our channel. I am really pleased you are enjoying our content and have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻🐚🦐💙
The most relaxed and wholesome channel on RUclips :)
1010sams - I am very pleased that you think so. 😊
I love it how I'd be walking along this same stretch of beach thinking 'Seaweed, seaweed, shells, seaweed'.
Meanwhile, during my stroll, you'd be finding enough seafood to give a good cook-up for your family!
It's heartwarming to watch your conservation in these videos also, putting back and leaving the smaller crabs, etc.
beeman2075 - I am glad you are finding these videos good viewing mate. Just simply sharing what we love doing. 😉🐚🍽🦐
i wanna do this once in my life
itll be so fun from what i see in ur videos
Royalty - So give it a try then. 👍🏻🍽😊
Been binging water-related videos recently: Man + River, Subnautica playthroughs, and now I'm here! Praise algorithm for recommending me to a great channel. Passionate for the sea, family man and very active in the comments. You've got my subscription!
- Welcome to our channel Naty, its weird how that algorithm must work. But hey, it Brough you hear and we are glad to have you. I am very happy to hear you have enjoyed our video and hope you enjoy the rest of our content. ( If you liked this vid I have a feeling you will ) All the best to you and have a great day.
Where am I all this time, your channel is really great. I almost forget how exciting it is to camp on the beach and eat fresh seafood together with friends! Also respect for your constant 'reminder' not to be greedy, and lessons about which one to take and which one to release, a lot.
Bless you and your family, stay safe!
Thank you, I am glad that the message transferred across in the video. It is something we are teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. 😊
Very enjoyable video of what nature provides to those willing to go to the shore and look for the bounty of the sea.
Almonte Paolilli - Absolutely. It’s simple once you know where to look. 😊👍🏻🍽
Absolutely lovely seeing you return to older posts just to respond, really nice. I absolutely adore this channel, I’m a new fan and a hardcore one at that! Stunning family and fish knowledge on par with any marine biologist I know of! I’m quite fond of these cook ups and eat at the ends do please continue making them. It’s a lovely sight for sore eyes seeing your lovely family eating and scourging around during these times.
All the best wishes, Erik
- Thank you Erik, I do my very best to answer all comments on every video no mater how old. Occasionally one or two slip through the net but I do what I can. Welcome to our channel. :D As soon as things are safe enough for us to be out and about together we will do some more shore cooking. Best wishes and have a nice day. :)
wow. I live in Ireland and your vids remind me so much of my child hood.......what a very lucky little boy to have such wonderful parents
john higgins - This is how I spent most of my childhood, raking around on the shore with my brothers and sister. Time well spent IMO. 😊🎣👍🏻
Love learning from what you find. Such a sweet family you have too! God bless
Kitsuka Inaharu - It is our pleasure. All the best and have a great week. 😊👍🏻🐚🍽
My favorite part of this is that you get to do it with your family and grow together with this experience. I wish I had this.
Zerostar369 - We have sour challenges like all families but understand that all things are better faced as a unit. We always do our best to enjoy ourselves together. Whatever we are doing. 😊👍🏻💙🐚🦐
For some reason ur foraging videos help me with my anxiety alot.. Thank you so much!
Tiina Saviir - I have had a few people contact us to say this. I am very pleased we could help. Have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻🐚🦐🍽
@@TheFishLocker Have a great weekend as well John!
Fascinating. It looks like fun. Boy's reaction when you lifted that rubber tire was priceless.
happyjojo626 - Haha. He loves getting amongst it. 🤣👍🏻🦀🐟
Great video. Great family. Great teacher. Great fisherman. Great channel. Much love from New York. I don't know how I got here but you got yourself a new subscriber.
Brandon Tyler - Thank you very much Brandon, I am very happy that you like the video and our content. Welcome to our channel and have a great weekend. All the best. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀🌿
I've spent many a happy hour foraging around rock pools for food and bait. Another quality video.
- Its great fun isn't it. I spent a lot of my childhood doing it. ;)
Top design for your prawn net. Another great video. Shame about the weather.
Damo Williams - Thanks Damo, can’t do much about the weather I’m afraid. 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
My neighbour gave me 6 prawns and I am watching Fish Locker to see how to cook them! CHEERS from Canada!
I love this channel! I have a fear or drowning but the ocean is so beautiful to me so to be able to see these ocean creatures without having to go into the water is so exciting to me. Also I love sea food so this just hits alot of my interests!
Meagan Pass - I am really glad to hear that you are enjoying our content Meagan. We absolutely love the shore and marine life in general. All the best and I hope you enjoy the rest of our videos. 😊👍🏻🎣🦀🐚
Your guys son is just so cute and adorable my goodness❤❤❤
- He is my absolute joy!! Such a little character. :)
