Coastal Foraging and Rock pooling - Lobsters, Crabs and clam forage with cook up | The Fish Locker

Coastal Foraging - Spring tide coastal foraging for Lobsters, Crabs and Clams.
I was trialling a new camera setup on this session and unfortunately the wind noise was very bad. I have done what I could but I apologise if the audio quality is not up to our usual high standard.

- This was filmed before the UK lockdown was initiated. It is my feeling that we all need to obey the governments instructions and remain locked down to control this horrible virus. No one loves their fishing more than I, but the safety of others is far too important. You will not die if you do not go fishing. But someone else might if you do. My son for example. Or someone’s mother or father. Stay home, stay safe. 😊👍🏻

I recently stumbled across this channel, and it actually helped solidify my decision to stop being a vegan. I haven't been feeling well for a while and seeing how incredibly respectful you are of the ocean and the creatures that you take to eat has shown me that eating animals can be far from inhumane. The way you talk about the fish and take only what you need is truly inspirational. A really special channel, thank you for sharing it with us xx

[@TheFishLocker]

- Gracie it really is our pleasure. That what you have just said truly is what I hope people see when they watch our channel. It is a lesson we are also teaching out children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. Hopefully our videos will encourage others to adopt our approach and respect for the natural world. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely day. :D P.s. Have you seen our recent video foraging for Spider Crabs. If you enjoyed this then I think you will enjoy that too.

Been much debate on if lobsters feel pain based on their primitive nervous system. But its a good idea to do it anyway, just in case and in practice.

I live along the beach in Washington State, US. I absolutely love going out and foraging the flats during low tide. I wish we had lobster here! But we've got a lot of Rock Crab, Dungeness Crab, Cockles, Manilla Clams, Butter Clams, Varnish Clams, Horse Clams and Mussels. Its a great day to spend it walking about and finish it with a tasty bake at the end! Love watching these foraging videos. Can't wait for the lockdown to be over and I can get out there again!

I was surprised you didn't say anything but as you so often point out, the tide pools are full of life. If you were to point out every organism you would't get 2 yards into it! As always love the videos, you are a true "Salt of the Earth/Sea?" guy and I love the videos. Congrats on 100k subscribers!

She also taught me how to skip stones across the water, I learned more from her than I ever could in school. Thank you for bringing back those fond memories.

@@TheFishLocker _I agree!! but still, Hook yes....Bare Hand no!! xD_

[@mikerom9958]

What a great hunt John! I was proper salivating when you had that beautiful presentation too. Thank you, and well done. The sound was good too!

[@TheFishLocker]

Mike Rom - Thank you Mike. It really was a great tide. So much life to be found. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and please, if you think any of your friends would enjoy the distraction of the videos right now. Please share them on. 😉👍🏻🦞

[@tacobellandbajablast8654]

Bro!!! That lobster was amazing!! Thankyou for sharing your knowledge!

[@TheFishLocker]

- It is our pleasure. We are simply sharing what we know and what we love doing. Best wishes and stay safe. :)

[@JulieWallis1963]

Wow! That lobster was a beauty.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Proper hidden treasure wasn't it. 😊

[@Nickyhelliot]

I’ve lived in Maine most of my life, and I’d still never reach my bare hand into the places you have. Love this channel.

[@TheFishLocker]

Here in the U.K. the worst you can expect is a nip. I have fast hands. 😉🦀🦞

[@southernsasquatch8404]

What a beautiful lobster! Awesome video and that plate with the cooked lobster looked so good! Yes, you would pay a premium price for that meal at a restaurant! I really love these coastal foraging videos and have learned a lot from them! 👍😎

[@TheFishLocker]

- She was a stunner wasn't she. It was such a brilliant find. I am glad that you are enjoying the foraging videos and finding them interesting. I love the shore and find it absolutely fascinating. Best wishes to you and stay safe. :)

[@southernsasquatch8404]

I love the coastal water also my friend! I live on the coast of North Carolina in the USA! :)

[@pisceanqueen1]

31:32 "We'll go and get the lobster, then we'll introduce it to the pan." When your well-meaning friends "introduce" codependent-you to a total narcissist 😂

[@TheFishLocker]

pisceanqueen1 - Thats deep. 😆

[@ericbodley2019]

totally gobsmacked by the lobster find, brilliant well done mate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@TheFishLocker]

ERIC BODLEY - Haha. She was a good one wasn’t she. Nearly had me a couple of times but I wasn’t giving up.lol. 😆🦞

[@Vikotnick]

Legend as always. Keep your family safe.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thanks buddy. This really was a fantastic tide. :)

[@Dycembur1]

You know what I noticed in all the videos I've seen so far? These people are kind and considerate. The way they take care of the catch and all the releases as well as the way they talk to each other. Its really nice to watch.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thank you very much, I am glad our philosophy transfers across in the videos. It is also something we are teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation and BE NICE. :) Take care.

[@robinhooduk8255]

new camera great quality footage, audio seems better aswell even with wind.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thank you very much. If I am honest the audio really disappointed me. I will experiment further and we will see what we can make happen. :D

[@harvetwound1234]

Guy: "just add a little salt" Also guy: *pours half the bottle of salt*

[@TheFishLocker]

- It needs to be roughly the same salinity as seawater.

[@justinbow8120]

We knew you had great sea foraging skills, but those counters in your kitchen are awesome! Apparently you (or your wife) have great taste, too.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Pretty much anything in our lives that is of good style and taste is attributed to Mrs Fishlocker.Haha.

[@freddimble7024]

Hi John lovely Lobster you got their mate love the way you dispatch your catch it shows such a caring attitude thats why i like to watch your videos hope the family are well stay safe stay well from Manchester.

[@TheFishLocker]

fred dimble - Thanks Fred. Aye she was a beauty and tasted delicious. I think that we should show care and respect for things, not only because they are living creatures but because we as adults and parents set an example for our children. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. 😊👍🏻🦞

[@Shaden0040]

If you salt the ice water it will be colder than unsalted ice water, plus it will help retain the lobster fresh sea flavor and not taste fresh watery. Use the same amount of salt you used in the boiling pot.

[@TheFishLocker]

- The amount of time it is in the water makes that almost negligible. But good idea.

[@belzebubbybear]

What a beast! also, i simply must commend you for not naming your videos things like "MEGA MONSTER LOBSTER CAUGHT (DANGEROUS!!!!)" or some daft shit like that. Your style is how it should be done. Thanks Love your work - best regards from Denmark

[@TheFishLocker]

Simon Jacobsen - Thank you Simon. And yes, that is not my style or how I wish people to see our videos. We just like simple, honest and with no drama - much how I like my life. 😊👍🏻

[@donnaowen5953]

It was so great to see your smiling face through this troubling time thank you and I hope you and your family stay well

[@TheFishLocker]

Donna Owen - It is our pleasure to be able to share our time with you Donna. Best wishes and stay safe.

[@christinac1126]

Hope you're happy and healthy! Love the videos!

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thank you Christina, we wish you good health. :)

[@JackKantus]

what a great video , I loved tide pools as a kid ! Really nice to see someone enjoy and have such knowledge of the pools hope that Lobster was delicious !

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thank you Jack, yes she was a stunning find and absolutely delicious. I do love the shore, so much fascinating life. :D

[@JackKantus]

Great stuff I hope to see more I instantly subbed

[@basilboy4173]

[@TheFishLocker]

basil boy - It is our pleasure. We can all do our parts can’t we. Stay positive and stay safe. I am glad that your boys enjoy the content. If you think any of your friends might enjoy the distraction during these stressful times. Please share the channel on with them. We all need to stick together to keep spirits up. 😊👍🏻

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

[@TheFishLocker]

minandmotion - I have commented on this already? I wonder why my reply has disappeared.

[@rosemarywatson8145]

Me too.

[@beckyjackson7755]

I want to thank you for teaching us about everything along the way! I love it! My autistic son has a passion for fish, both fresh and saltwater, and has tanks of both. I feel like I can talk with him about his passion a little more, because I've learned from you and appreciate the anenomes, plants, and little sea life! Thank you so much!! Stay healthy and safe!

[@TheFishLocker]

I am so very glad that you can both enjoy our videos together. 😊

[@I.have.an.std.]
