Another stunner of a vid, , I don’t think you realise how good you are at this, , , Your camera work is just brilliant- everything we need to see - it’s sharp, well framed and evenly lit , and then, “with your other hand “ you’re foraging expertly, for our benefit, , , so good to see you only taking “what you need “ and placing things back properly. I swear, sitting here miles away in Essex, I could smell that pot cooking! ! Great job! When you open the “Coastal Foraging Restaurant “ , I’d like to be your first customer, could I book my table now please?

John Tailing - John, that comment was wonderful. Thank you so much. It really has started my day off in a great place. I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed our video so much. I really hope that viewers pick up on our message of sustainable foraging. If these videos encourage folks to get out and explore the natural world around them and care for it a little more then they will have been worth making. Best wishes to you and the family and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🐚🍽💙

He got me a new fishing rod for my 16th birthday and took me fishing all day, it's one of my favorite ways to spend time with him :-D

Lina - Hi Lina, welcome back 😊. I absolutely agree with you. I was probably the last generation who’s baby and childhood pictures are actual photos and video cameras were not really available and it is a shame. I absolutely cherish all of our videos together and know I will love watching them in years to come. 😊🎣🐚🍽💙

Greetings. I am a new subscriber, finding your vids only yesterday. I envy your "hunts" and truly appreciate you taking the time to identify the "treasures" you find whether you keep them or not. I live in Florida and sadly do not have coastlines like this. If there were, I would visit them constantly, not to gather, but just to see what the tide brought in Your little man is precious. You're a wonderful Father and I admire you for teaching him to respect the sea life and the importance of only taking the mature specimens and no more than what you can eat. Sadly, parents like you are nearly extinct. Stay safe and be careful. I will be binge watching your other vids. Infinite blessings to you and yours always.

- Hi Lilias and welcome to our channel. We love getting out on the shore and finding delicious treasures. It is so much fun and is a great activity for the whole family - so many interesting things to learn about and explore. I hope you enjoy our other videos and if you have any questions please just leave me a comment and I will get back to you. Take care and stay safe :)

[@alienebranhamedge7687]

@@TheFishLocker Thank you... I certainly will

[@stephanieleth5885]

“All right that’s enough burping now” the funny things you have to say as a parent 😂😂

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. Only a parent would believe some of those things were possible. He has me in stitches so many times.

I'm so jealous, I keep having dreams about going to the ocean and finding a bunch of creatures, that big starfish is awesome, I wish I lived near the ocean

[@TheFishLocker]

- I do love living near the ocean, my wife and I lived in the city for a while and I hated it.

That's probably it

A nice outing & free meal for a nice family.

[@TheFishLocker]

Nb Forrest - This is a great family activity. We love getting out and about on the shore together. Especially when there’s a tasty reward at the end of it. 😉🐚🍽

[@hellsingmongrel]

I've watched two of your vids now, and you remind me of my Granddad when you're teaching your kiddo. The way he would teach us when we went fishing with him was very much the same, and it makes me really happy to see. ☺️ Not only are you teaching him, you're teaching us, too, and now I'm really sad I don't live on the beach, because that all looks SO DELICIOUS!

[@TheFishLocker]

hellsingmongrel - A lot of people wont agree with you but I feel that it is the best way for him to learn. Seeing and experiencing and by giving him the freedom to explore - with just enough guidance and supervision to keep him safe. I have honestly been waiting since before he was born to teach him these things. Best wishes and have a great day 😊🐚🦀🌿

[@hellsingmongrel]

@@TheFishLocker It really is! People learn better by doing, and you're giving him a chance to really see and explore in ways a lot of kids can't, which is great! ☺ He'll definitely look back on these experiences when he's older and be glad for them!

[@gasmangasssssss2836]

I love your video's and the way your wife and nipper are involved is wonderful , one day i'll come to Cornwall and buy you a beer !

[@TheFishLocker]

- Sounds like a plan. ;)

[@shebasand6203]

I love how u put back some of the fish when it's small or when u find something that you don't like to eat, it's very considerate.. I bet there are people who'd take more than their need.. I also love when you're sitting with family ♡

[@TheFishLocker]

Citoyenne Algerienne - I am glad that you picked up on the message in our video. It is a lesson we are also teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. We love getting out and about on the shore together as a family. Take care and stay safe. 😊👍🏻

[@dolphyn2]

Wonderful video. I love marine life and I love seafood. I live in Florida and Love spending time at the beach. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheFishLocker]

dolphyn2 - Thank you so much. It is our pleasure. I have been fascinated by marine life since I was a young boy and it has been wonderful sharing that passion with my family and all of you. Welcome to our channel and have a great day 😊👍🏻🐚🦀

[@shorefishingessex]

I took my missus out last night for her birthday & we had scallops & yes, they're not bloody cheap!! Wish I could find them on my local shore, me & my little un' are off this morning to have a look after this latest storm. I'll do well to find anything like what you did in this vid though, bloody good show sir!!

[@TheFishLocker]

Shore Fishing Essex - You old smoothie, treating your good lady to a swanky scallop feast before a night on the tiles? When you come down we’ll see if you can’t rustle her up something. 😉 Good luck today, I look forward to seeing what you find mate. Take it easy. 😊👍🏻🐚

[@shorefishingessex]

Cheers John, that might have to be an off the camera affair as she's a bit camera shy lo!! Torrential rain scuppered my plans yesterday mate, still waiting for an opportunity to make a decent video but I'll get there sometime in the near future hopefully!!

Not sure why, but whenever you show us a dog fish egg that you found I light up. They just look so funny, I also really like the “mermaid purse” egg!

[@TheFishLocker]

- I always enjoy seeing them, they are so fascinating. Interesting also that some sharks lay eggs and others give birth to live young. I love nature :D

[@QuiltingCrow]

I can't do what you do as I am in a wheelchair, but I enjoy these foraging videos so, so much. Thanks a lot for having me here :)

[@TheFishLocker]

QuiltingCrow - I am very sorry that you cannot get out and forage, I hope that our videos go some way to fulfilling that task for you. Best wishes and thank you for watching. 😊👍🏻🐚

[@suestoons]

I'm not in a wheelchair, yet, knock on wood, but I also have great mobility issues. I used to spend 90% of my time outside so these videos are a wonderful substitute. Being a Canadian Prairie girl, these are also a wonderful education. The only time I lived by a seashore was in the High Arctic and the most common form of marine wildlife I could encounter was a polar bear. Needless to say, we didn't seek them out! LOL

[@TheFishLocker]

Sue Zoo - Wow. I think that would be something pretty spectacular seeing polar bears just cutting about the place. 😲

[@suestoons]

@@TheFishLocker Spectacular, yes. Comfortable NOPE! I happen to have a severe bear phobia due to a black bear encounter when I was 5 years old. All I remember is that he stank really bad and I was really scared. Subsequent to that I was posted to two locations where the phrase "Caution Advised: Polar Bear On Runway" was a frequent occurrence. When we lived in Churchill all of us without kids would volunteer for Halloween so the parents could take the kidlets trick or treating. Being scared of bears, I wasn't comfortable joining the human ring around town with guns and fireworks to scare them away so I always worked the evening shift in the tower. I could help but not be too close LOL Churchill is also home to the famous Polar Bear Jail. Where problem bears are housed until they can be airlifted safely to a remote location. The bears congregate on the shore in the fall waiting for the ice to come in [they come inland for the summer to have their young] so they can go seal hunting. So they are HUNGRY and if the ice is late, a little frustrated. Absolutely NOT the time to go for a beach stroll LOL
