John, I don't care how many trips you make looking for scallops, clams, etc., you ALWAYS throw something new in. In this episode I learned about about a jelly blob and sea potatoes. I either missed them in previous viedos but this was the first time I saw them. I'll NEVER tire of seeing these viedos. As well, I'll never tire of see your lovely Hannah and sweet James. I just wish I had had a childhood that James is experiencing. Your patience with him is amazing and he's learning in such a wonderful environment, who wouldn't love his playground! So happy you had a wonderful day foraging and a great meal ( jealousy speaking here) to boot! Speaking of the food, which brand of hot sauce are you eating? I love hot sauces and sometimes I'm disappointed in what I buy. Thought I might try and get your favorite (I'm in the states) and see if it's any good. Again, thanks for allowing me to share your family time and GREAT job Hannah in finding that one scallop! My best to your family John as these last 2 months of 2021 slip away.

I’ve been watching your vids for a few years now, when I was a kid I didn’t like scallops but when I came across your forage and cook vids a few years ago I decided to give them a go again and it turns out I LOVE them. Sadly where I live in Australia it’s land locked and the best I have is a river an hour and a half drive away full of invasive european carp that have destroyed the local river life so it’s hard to catch anything but the carp which we don’t eat so I can’t really forage like you do 😢. At least the carp are a reliable catch and provide some fun. Love watching you and you and your family, looking forward to more vids.

Like it when you eat what you catch and show different ways to cook it.

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you for another wonderful foraging/beach cook-up video. Don't leave near an ocean coast so living vicariously through you, Hannah and James. So, are winkles and limpets edible?

[@TheFishLocker]

Winkles are nice, limpets are an “acquired taste” 🤣

[@richielamb2733]

Another amazing video John & Hannah and James , scallops were massive 👌Just as a thought , have you thought of going into schools and teaching children what’s on our shores ? 👍🤟👌

[@toddstevens6608]

I'd re-enroll in primary school to get those sorts of lessons!!

[@TheFishLocker]

There is a lot of red tape unfortunately, but I have been into James school and done some lessons about it. 😊

[@gazgazist]

Your knowledge second to none I even bet James has forgotten more than I've ever known. awesome. stay safe and stay strong!

[@TheFishLocker]

Simply sharing a little of what we know and love doing mate. 👍🏻

[@stephenking78]

Nice to share the forage with the family , always enjoy the cook up. Informative as usual, thanks John

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you Stephen. 👍🏻

Love these videos! Keep it up and I can’t wait to cross over the pond to get my own seafood to try! Can’t wait to do that and do you have any ideas of where I should try to get my own seafood while over there? Beaches, waterways, or whatever you think is best?

[@TheFishLocker]

I am unsure where you are staying or wether the time of year you are here will be safe. It is best to speak to some local merchants when you arrive, as they will know what is safe in your area. 😊👍🏻

[@happymv5350]

I am in Utah, US. Landlocked unfortunately but love your videos. When will you be holding your next live stream vid?

[@TheFishLocker]

I’m not sure. We might do one before Christmas. 😊👍🏻

[@samanthadotson5358]

Just started the video but I love love LOVE seeing the Mrs. Scrap with this tiny crab and you just dive in and grab him like he's a cute puppy! 🤣

[@TheFishLocker]

Haha. Look at her fingers compared to mine. Hers are perfect and mine are bashed battered and covered in scars - for that reason. 🤣
