Hey man. From a newish father (2 yr old) to you, you’re not just a role model when it comes to catching and cooking. You are an excellent role model when it comes to being a family man and a father.

@@TheFishLocker thank you for doing what you do. It means more than you realize!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I totally agree! I was forced to eat many things as a child and its amazing that I didn't grow up to be picky to spite my mother! I never pushed food at my children and let them try things at their own speed and whilst my son was super picky as a child he was watching me so enjoy a sandwich with fresh spinach and avocado and got brave as asked for a bite (at 11yo) and after that he branched out and had to try absolutely everything mom and dad ate. Some things he didn't care for and others he loved. Your approach to trying new things for your son is 100% a wonderful way to teach them. Plus learning at your knee about the oceans is wonderful -children are sponges for knowledge at this age I still remember following my granddad around like a shadow and ive put a lot of his knowledge of fishing and gardening to full use as an adult. I can only hope my grandchildren learn as much as my children did by always encouraging questions and answering like an adult(at appropriate age levels of course. No sweetie those squirrels are just dancing! 😆 🤣)

Even though I've watched all your foraging videos, it still takes me by surprise the creatures that survive out of the water when the tide goes out - mussels, anemones, lobsters, etc. I'd have thought they have to be underwater all the time! Your channel is so informative 🙂🦀

[@TheFishLocker]

These creatures all breathe oxygen through water. So providing they remain cool and wet they can all survive for a time quite happily. I have seen lobsters survive in a fridge for a week out of water

I have to say it is just adorable how well mannered James is. Just the way he says 'No thank you' gets me every time during the videos. If only we'd have gotten a chance to see you go for the lobster under that rock with so many openings. I wonder how big it would have been.

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

I'm from a very, very different part of the world; I grew up on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, in NW Florida, with warm-water tides and a lot of palm trees and scrub-oaks right down to the water. But my family would go out hunting Bay Scallops about the size of a child's palm, thicker and rounder than your queen scallops, and we'd wear sneakers and kick around in patches of seaweed until one tried to propel itself away with jets of water. We'd scoop it up with our hands or with a net, and take them all home to bake in the oven or for my Mama to bread and fry. We'd go after blue crabs too, and just spend a day getting sunburned and exhausted and happy. No rocks, just pure white sand and warm blue water... but I really love your videos; they make me remember being a happy child with my family on days like that, and to be glad that my great-nieces and great-nephews are doing the same in the summers there.

I want to go coastal foraging with you guys. In Portugal there’s no scallops :( and I want to try them so bad, they look so delicious ❤️

[@castoly]

There are scallops in Portugal. I could send you a little helpful map for finding them.

[@ClaudiaSilvaTorres]

@@castoly that would be awesome. I looked but found information mostly about mussels and regarding the beach Foz do Arelho. I’m new at this, never done coastal foraging, but I would love to learn more.

[@ClaudiaSilvaTorres]

@@castoly will you send me that map you talked about, please? :)

[@TheFishLocker]

Good luck. But my advice would be to keep these locations away from public eyes. 😉

[@ClaudiaSilvaTorres]

@@TheFishLocker yes! if @MrFancyBananMan is kind enough to share it with me, he can send it by private dm on fb for example :)

[@cowgoesmoo3850]

I still wana do this, could I essentially do this anywhere there is low tide?

[@TheFishLocker]

You are best to check with your local IFCA for regulations and water cleanliness. 😊👍🏻

[@cowgoesmoo3850]

@@TheFishLocker i definitely will, what would this type of fish gathering called? I can't explain what I mean lol.

Your videos are so amazing to watch and very educational 😊 I wonder of there is things like this around the North East, also your son is a star to watch in your videos, he is going to be very knowledgeable and it is so nice to see "lad and dad" out together having fun 😊

[@TheFishLocker]

This is absolutely possible around the north east. Where do you think I learned it?
