- I thought I would show the viewers some of the great and varied sea life I encounter on my coastal foraging trips to the seashore. The sheer diversity of life that I come across never ceases to amaze me. I hope you enjoy the video-If you have any relevant questions,I will be pleased to try and answer them via the comments section .
Bless this pure blissful man. Hurts me a little to see him slip when the rock desintegrated, then proceeds to teach us some more after falling. What a strong man hahaha.
Thank you SalmonFish,I was not hurt in any way,but it gave me a perfect opportunity to show a Piddock Shell-Kind regards,Craig.
I love how the dog looks like he's your little foraging student! Costal good boys 101.
The dog is hilarious and always gets the first look in. Loving these videos. Thanks. 😂
Thank you Moira,"Llew" is good company ,if not a little too playful,regards Craig.
+Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans. It all adds to the endearing ambience of these informative videos Craig. Happy Christmas.
Happy Christmas to you too Moira,I have another video to publish on Friday,hope you like it,Kind regards Craig.
Man`s a national treasure.
Sir you should have 2 million subscribers. God bless and keep up the good work.
What a wonderful video Craig. The depth of your knowledge is very impressive indeed, as is your enthusiasm and love for that environment and very lovely part of the world. I can really wind down watching you discover what's under those rocks and feel like I'm with you sometimes - you're such a natural naturalist!
The dog is a head wrecker .Thanks for the video mate .
Yes Kiefer ,he is very boisterous ,regards Craig.
You are amazing you should be in Guinness book of records how clever you are!
Steady on , regards Craig
Your beautiful dog is more keen to see what's under the rocks than we are haha! Love the videos, and the fact that you're so knowledgeable. Your kids and grand children are so lucky to have you.

Yw Craig..i look forward to watching your programs and seeing Llew with you on your foragings..I am from Alberta,Canada😊
Been having sleeping problems and I started watching your videos early evening as I find them so relaxing. I love to watch you forage and then cook everything up:) Llew is my favourite member of your team and I find his curious nature so endearing lol Thank you for this channel!
Glad you like them My Zahra, there are number of photographs of "Llew" on my Instagram account " Coastal_Foraging_with_Craig ", kind regards Craig
hey the dog is just curious he’s not doing anything wrong, he makes the video so fun to watch!
Stop hating on the Cutie Dog, he being a part of the video makes it more organic and amazing
Please post more. You’re my favorite channel. I watch a lot of fisherman’s videos/ catch and cooks and you’re by far my favorite. The dog is my favorite too ❤️
Thank you Isabel,many more planned,regards Craig
I watch these videos when I’m stressed
I love your videos. Thanks for your knowledge.
Thank you Bradley, you are very welcome,regards Craig
How many times has your dog been grabbed by a crab that he could not resist sniffing haha. Love the videos!
Not once Marshal ,he has been very careful,regards Craig
My uncle, who was a marine biologist, use to take my sister and I out on informative walks. Our dog, Pepe, always came along. Awesome memories.
Thanks for sharing your corner of the world with us.
I love your Llew!
You are very welcome Pam,plenty more to come. Kind regards Craig
I live no where near the ocean, so watching this is addicting and so fascinating! Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you like it ,many more to follow,regards Craig
The dog is great!
This takes me back. When i was a youngster in the 70s, all of our family holidays were in Port Eynon. We'd spend hours foraging around the rock pools. My dad always had his crabbing hook with him. To this day, fresh crab sandwiches and pickled onions are my favourite summer lunch.
Great video. Thank you, and subbed.
Port Eynon is a great area for this type of activity, regards Craig
Hahaha that was entertaining and the dog loved it
Stumbled upon this vid and came off impressed how knowledgeable you are about the wildlife. A well read nerd is a good thing to find! Am subscribed
Thank you Mohd Razee Salleh,us nerds have a great time,regards Craig
Love your videos Craig, ended up stumbling across one of your videos a few weeks back and now I seem to be hooked haha. Absolutely adore Llew as well, a loving and care free dog :) I honestly don't get the negative comments on here about Llew, he's a dog and he is just curious. All I have to say is keep the videos coming, they are a mini escape for me as I work in the city (London) and would love to get away and do what you do :)
Well said sir. Craig Evans knows his stuff. I too have become addicted to his shows
Thank You Craig for your fabulous informative videos. Spent my early life foraging in rock pools, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. Something magical and special about rock pools, stayed with me my whole life. Now land locked in Sturgis, South Dakota, USA but will be returning to my beloved ocean soon. Candy. Barry 1961
Thank you Candy,Barry is wonderful place,we used to go on coach trips to Barry as children.Like you we enjoyed the rock pools,beach and the famous funfair.I hope you enjoy when you return to the sea side,Kind regards Craig.
why so much hate on the dog? i would rather see a dog having a good time rather than a close up of a hideous eldritch sea monstrosity
I think the pup is trying to keep the crabs and fish in check and catch them for you guys. “I got em for you! I catch!”
I really like this video. A lot of details based on every living organism makes your video's fun and interesting. Thanks for the lesson I've discovered things I've never known about.
Sorry for the late reply E.sohansolo 1st, it went to the "potential spam " folder .Thank you for your comment,there are many more videos planned,regards Craig
Another amazing vid dad I love them reminds of my child when u used to take us and teach us all these wonderful things x
Another great video! Thank you!
Thank you Alexander.
Picks up a fish that looks like someone pissed off a goblin, calls him "Handsome little gentleman"
I love these videos so much! They're my favourite thing to watch on study breaks. Thank you for all the amazing information about your coasts, I'll take a closer look at ours here in New Zealand next time. And Llew is so beautiful and sweet with his curiousity. Thanks again for putting a smile on my face with these!
Many thanks for a great comment pomarrio,kind regards Craig
Absolutely love watching these videos - both Chris's buildings and Craigs foraging. Keep up the good work lads!
sorry. Kris *
Glad you like them Cameron,both Kris and myself have plans to make many more videos,regards Craig
Excellent stuff again sir. Very good knowledge passed on in each video aswell which is always a bonus. Loving the channel 😃
Thank you again gacrfc09,more videos to come,regards Craig
Thanks for sharing another brilliant video Craig and thanks to Chris for filming it. Maybe one day you two can do a sit-down and tell us how you've learnt so much about foraging? Already looking forward to the next vid, all the best mate.
Thanks Jon,I am very grateful to Kris for filming the videos,he also undertakes the editing.It is a good suggestion to include a clip to talk about foraging.There will be 2 more videos published before Christmas -Kind regards Craig.
Amazing I must do this with my daughter lovely video once again
i could watch you turn rocks over all day. So fun
Cheers Bren, I love turning over rocks,you never know what you will find,regards Craig
Sir, your knowledge about the marine life is amazing. Love watching your videos
Many thanks Maria Teresa,kind regards Craig
So VERY interesting! Reminds me of when I was a young child living in Hawaii. I love to look in tidal pools!
Glad you like it Cindy,exploring rock pools is addictive,regards Craig.
Dog is so cute curious baby
Yes ,he is still a pup Irish Roessel,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I really am learning a lot sir , Godbless you hope to see u hang out with grandkids foraging and your friend is one lucky guy to hang out and try good food
Thank you for your kind words Irish Roesesel,regards Craig
You brought back my memories, all those years i went camping and used to go fishing and crabbing. i’ve been to Pembrokeshire wales quite a few times actually, Tenby and Swansea, my favourite beach there was Port eynon, i think i spelt it right
but please correct me if I’m wrong. I used to go rock pooling with my dad but just about to have my first child so not long to go before i can take him rock pooling. Can’t wait :) My dad was a marine biologist and studied at Swansea university. He used to teach me everything about what we found. Good video btw :) just subbed, maybe ill lookout for you when i next go there!
This channel is amazing. Thank you for the content.
Glad you like the channel, regards Craig
Be careful, bend your knees when lifting the rocks, you need to protect your back, nice video keep it up.. 😊😊
Thank you for your concern and kind words Leif,I do try my best to bend my knees when lifting,but on occasion,due to the location/shape of the rocks,this is not possible,regards Craig
just came across your channel....my new binge :)
Binge away Cademan,many more videos planned -2 more will be published before Christmas,regards Craig.
Look idc if y’all don’t agree but this is soooo satisfying 😌😌😂
Lol that dog is awesome! I've seen him eat anything out there. Great videos guys!
Awesome video! Love your channel, your lifestyle and your diet! I cannot wait until blue claw crab season around me! And your dog's awesome, don't listen to these other comments, ppl on RUclips are a simpler folk...
Many thanks Joshua-will you be making a video on catching the "blue claw crab" ,some people like dogs ,some don't,that's life,everybody is entitled to an opinion,regards Craig
Im sorry craig cant stop laughing and repeat watching the part when u try to lift the big rock and get stumbled 13:07 haha! But u came back cool haha! Nice vid! Love watching ur videos.
Jay-r Barangay yeah a little bit of the rock broke off
I really like the part every time you
Flip the rocks. Full of surprises🙃 cool video👍🏼
It's one of my favourite pastimes Kate,you just never know what you will find,thank you ,regards Craig
Love your videos have a good Christmas
the baby crabs are sooo cute !
The best one yet, loved seeing all of the different colored crabs and especially loved the star fish they were beautiful! I know I say it every time but fantastic video and keep up the great work.
Thank you for your kind words Sarah,it is a passion of mine to keep on learning about shoreline ecology .I have barely scratched the surface on what life is available to publish on video.For many years I kept a large native marine aquarium at home and studied most of the fish,crustaceans ,anemonies molluscs etc etc.I am thinking of doing this again and making some videos of the process of setting this up ,collecting the specimens and may be a live broadcast. Kind regards Craig.
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans Hi Craig, I think the aquarium idea is brilliant it would be really interesting to see the progress of the creatures under your care :)
Amazing content, I cannot describe how good your videos are. Keep them up!
Thank you Vincent ,many more to come,regards Craig
I enjoy your show so much. I'm learning so much. Your a great teacher.
Thank you Toni,many more to follow,regards Craig
Wow, that's a lot of life under each rock. I love your videos, I love your personality, I love your silly dog. I am now subscribing.
Welcome sedated2000,thank you for your kind words,regards Craig
very interesting and informative, Craig. (Llew is a very keen young inquisitive student) and so a thankyou to all of you
Thank you for a nice comment SeaShore Antics,regards Craig.
You are so fantastic to watch. Your videos are relaxing and educational. Thank you for such great content!
You are very welcome TRcks808,more to come,regards Craig
I'm loving these videos. I'm always afraid the dog is gonna pinched by a crab cause they always seem so aggressive but he seems to know what he's doing.
Thank you RetroRag, Llew is very adept at avoiding being pinched,regards Craig
Mr Evans has loads of information. Really fun to watch.
Glad you like them Mark,regards Craig.
Nice video im amazed at how much wildlife there is in the coastal areas
It never ceases to amaze me too Zane,and I have been foraging/exploring from a very young age.
Great vid and very informative
I love the channel Craig! I am a avid forager myself. I'm an amateur expert of wild mushrooms and wild fruit but I love learning about all of the seafood you know how to identity. I will be sharing your channel on my foraging group on facebook.
Glad you like it and many thanks playerslayer91,what is the name of your foraging group ?Regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans facebook.com/groups/2347142675512762?tsid=0.8124533885938885&source=result
This is a link to the group. If the link doesn't work, it is called "Wild edible education and identification forum". We would love to have someone as knowledgeable as yourself join. We are growing quickly. Most of the people in the group are from the United States (I live in Florida), but my goal is to make it an international group with members from all over the world. My name is Greg. Join the group if you feel inclined to do so.
Thank you Greg, I have joined,but be aware , I only know about the shores of the UK,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans Fantastic. We have lots of knowledgeable foragers from around my area, so it's nice to have some people from different parts of the world.Some things you can find about everywhere. For instance, Chanterelle mushrooms grow all over the world.
Quite right,they grow in my woodland (but may be a slightly separate species) and are delicious ,regards Craig
These videos are so interesting to me! It's incredible how there are so many forms of life out in the water! It's crazy!!! And I love your channel so much your content interests me
Glad you like Jhopes,we are really fortunate here in Wales UK,regards Craig
Wow i never new sea cucumbers where in the starfish family I guess you really do learn something new every day :)
Yes Duty James,things like that still amaze me today ,we are all constantly learning,regards Craig
Looks like some good bait there. Wonder what those featherstars would catch?
Love the dog, wants to eat everything 😂
Your videos are great ! It's so entertaining to watch you explain a bit about each creature, wish you could upload a bit more, but regardless still awesome !
Thank you Denise,I try to upload 2 or 3 videos per month,regards Craig
Such a great video I used to do this when I was younger. Of course I didn’t know half of the information you know, and your pup is so cute.
Thank you Bownership.
The dog is like thats mineeee Haha great videos
i could watch this guy flip rocks for hours
I could ,would ,do flip rocks for hours ,it's addictive,you never know what you will find,regards Craig
13:13 The dog showed concern for its owner. It dashed to him. Good dog.
He is a real softie beautifuldurian,regards Craig
Mr Craig it is so awesome watching you do this videos, and you care for that animals and you are gentle with them, i mean i love fishing buth i love when there is someone like you who gets them back in to the ocean if they are to small, not trowing them like a junk hahah, you are an awesome guy and i am watching your channel for a month now and i cant stop watching your videos, good work and keep it up 😁

Just stumbled upon your channel in my recommended videos and how lucky! Thank you for taking us on your coastal journey. You sound like a very smart man to spend time with by the sea. I am subscribing and look forward to more.
Thank you for your kind words Jasmine and welcome to my channel,there are many more videos planned,regards Craig
Are you a marine biologist? Beautiful creatures you have there. Wish I had access to such fun!
No Tyson,I have no formal qualifications in this area, however I have a lifelong passion for the marine environment, have read extensively and privately researched this fascinating subject. For many years I kept a native marine aquarium,which gave me the chance to observe the behaviour of much of what is showcased in my videos.Kind regards Craig
These vids are so awesome. Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you Kiko ,regards Craig.
If you dislike this video you might as well give up. So comforting to watch.
Saw a comment that said the dog nearly killed the fish well people eat fish so do dogs the dog was curious about the fish and having fun dogs deserve to have fun too.
I was afraid that the pup would get hurt by the crabs haha :) cute x
Real life discovery channel, I love it :)
Thank you Samuel ,it's great fun,regards Craig
I bet I'm jealous. Watching your videos at work, while you're living the dreams
I absolutely love these videos. Very interested in the types of things you can eat off the shoreline. Keep it up guys
Glad you like them Matt,regards Craig.
Your voice is so calm and peaceful
Thank you Conner,it's the one I was born with LOL,regards Craig

Thanks for taking the time to post this up!
You are welcome John,I really enjoy making them.Regards Craig
I love these videos! Incredible
Glad you like them Shayla,regards Craig
This channel is great! It's really cool to see in detail what most of us just walk by near the sea :D
I find it fascinating Stier ,I will never tire of exploring the coast,you just never know what you come across,regards Craig
I LOVE this, thank you for sharing this amazing information
Your dog is SO adorable
Glad you like it Reese ,many thanks Craig
Pup is a darling one, a bit intrusive, though. (Maybe he stays home on the teaching vids?? I feel terrible for saying that 😞, it's merely a suggestion) 😊 These are my new favorite videos. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment D Devries,I am sure "Llew" will calm down when he is older,but the videos are meant to be educational,show off our Welsh natural environment and fun. I really enjoy having "Llew" accompany me and would not want to deny him a nice day out at the coast,kind regards Craig.
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans no harm meant, truly, I love this breed.
I would just be so into what you were doing that I would lean in to see what you were doing or what you had, then i would get frustrated by seeing too much of the back of his head 😁
I love your videos, too. Please keep them coming 😊👍 it was just a suggestion. It's all new terrain for me, but I've seen goldies' heads a lot. 😆
Please, no offense meant, love the pup 💕
Thank you for making these ❤
No offence taken D Devries,I will publish another video on Friday at 5pm GMT,catching and cooking wild prawns and mussels.Hope you like it .Kind regards Craig.
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans 😊👍
Me and my little girl really enjoy your videos . You've inspired her and she is very excited after asking me to take her Foraging. Your lovely voice reminds us of our Tied. Unfortunately we live in Leicestershire england so we are abit of a drive from Walse. I wonder if all coastal lines will have such amazing creatures and food. I cannot find amazing videos like yours anywhere so I think we will take the 3 hour drive to the nearest coast and hope for the best. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful impact with your valuable time given to these golden videos. Carly and Demi
Thank you for your very kind Carly and Demi,the east coast of England from Grimsby down to the Thames estuary is rather flat and does not have many rock pools,however the large sandy beaches can be great for cockles and the Essex estuaries are world famous for oysters. You would be better off heading to the North Wales coast or the south west of England,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I am so grateful for your kindness. Thank you for taking your valuable time to reply to myself and Demi-Lee. Your advise is absolutely golden and I will certainly use it. A trip to Walse is our next adventure then :) Thank you again and we look forward to watching more of your fascinating videos. P.s your beach cooking videos makes my mouth water and tummy jealous lol
You are very welcome Carly and Demi, have a great time wherever you go,regards Craig
i live in the north east of england and near newcastle, we have plenty of locations for foraging. well worth a look.
fishing fanatics north east Thank you so much for commenting. Have you also had amazing experiences in your areas like Craig? I would be so grateful to you if you could point us in any worthwhile location. I wake up in the morning and have such a huge desire to go. If your help could give us a temporary shorter journey I would be very thankful to you. My mum is shopping for a campervan so we can stay in Wales when we go :) We have our waders ready
This video is amazing, and your dog is really cute 💓💓💓💓
Thank you Phurong,more to follow,regards Craig
does the season affect rock pooling? e.g. in winter you catch less species when fishing compared to winter so I was wondering if in the winter the creatures you may find rock pooling go deeper in the ocean therefore meaning you can't find them at low tide, or they migrate somewhere warmer
Oh the Blenny!!! How gorgeous 😊
I have pet blenny's there the coolest fish ever
Hi Duty and D Devries, for many years I kept a large native marine aquarium featuring most of the fish and organisms I find in the videos,it's one of the reasons I studied their habitat and behaviour . In my experience the Tompot blennies would eat the sea anemones in the tank .I am considering setting up a very large aquarium again ,with a view to making videos on finding the fish and other organisms and perhaps a RUclips live stream,regards Craig.
Great video Craig I would love to see one with you just show the different way your make your shellfish and mussels.
Many thanks Erik, I have a number of videos on my channel that feature different ways of cooking shellfish,regards Craig
How interesting! Life boils under every stone
Yes Vira,it fascinates me that there can be so much variety in such a small space,regards Craig
Really enjoying these videos. Thank you for posting. :)
You are very welcome C.Tokki, I really like to showcase our good fortune and local environment we have here in Wales UK. KInd regards Craig
