      @@vjotb Native American Indians were not respectful to nature at all, because they very concept of environmental awareness did not exist or was not thought about all that time ago. And to also say that no one else respects nature besides them is a mass generalization and ignorance.

    Your respect for the sea is incredible what you don't eat/need you put back and not only just that you ensure to put it as it was by covering it back similar to when u go catch scallops you always hide or put back the ones not for consumption.

    I don't know much about this, as I live in the middle of land-locked and cattle-fed USA, but I love sea food, and am entranced by how you find them, and how much care you have for the little creatures you put back (turning them over, putting the heavy end down; putting little fish back into the seaweed; covering things back up to make sure they live to see another day). I know you're looking for specific foods and sizes, but it's incredibly educational for me. I'd love to go on a "vacation" and have you show/teach me, or the opportunity with someone else. If you know you do that, or know someone, let me know :)

    55 years ago l worked the shrimp trawlers out of Florida. Lived on the boat or on the beach. Money was tight had to know every species of edible clam. The inshore Florida scallops weren't as big as yours. However on the 3'rd sand bar from shore, about 3ft at low tide, were the Pen Shells a large relative of scallops. They weren't as sweet as scallops but their adductor muscle was twice as big. Used a drift wood and palm frond fire, threw seaweed on top, then clams & Pens, more weed and sprinkle with seawater.. Occasionally, a Stone Crab with a fresh coconut milk as a chaser. Seems when one has nothing, every little thing is great.

Five minutes of that teaches you more than 3 years in primary school. However, my primary school wasn't bad either.

    I really love how you just pick what you and your family really need and what's actually reasonable to be taken and how you put everything back to how it was before. Really informative videos!

      - Thank you, I am glad that you share our philosophy on sustainable foraging. It is something we are teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with resect and appreciation. :)
