COASTAL FORAGING -- MY BIGGEST EVER HAND CAUGHT BLUE LOBSTER, SPIDER CRABS AND PRIME SUMMER PRAWNS

[@malworks]

This video is my happy place. Everything about it just radiates positivity and contentment. From the shaggy dog that occasionally appears, to their soft and distinct accents, to the education value ... it's videos like these that make me so grateful to live on such a beautiful planet with beautiful people. God bless ya' from a USA fan.

Many thanks for your kind words Serena, we have some great fun here on the coast of Wales UK, kind regards Craig

I had my first trip to the ocean last weekend and it was quite the magical moment! I saw so many razor clam wholes and some nice crabs! I was explaining to my husband what they all are! Thanks for educating us!

[@loudmouf9246]

Returning the sea life that is carrying the next generation is so satisfying to watch. When I was a kid I didn’t understand catch and release but now as a 28 year old man I fully understand and appreciate the need to release. Subscribing.

[@WornDownSaint]

You’ve inspired lots of people around my age to carry the torch and make foraging videos like you’ve made. That guarantees that we will never be short on awesome Coastal Foraging footage. Thanks Craig!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Great comment Chris, let's just hope that everyone practices conservation and just takes what they need from an abundant resource. This seems to be the case in the UK, so well done to them, regards Craig

[@janshi876]

I don’t know why this video makes me so happy. Maybe it’s watching someone with so much knowledge casually share it in an enchanting way. Feels like a bit of a spell was cast by his voice and demeanor to be honest. Thank you 🙏🏾
