Coastal Foraging - Scallops, Crabs, Clams and Rescuing BABY SHARKS | The Fish Locker

Coastal Foraging - Scallops, Crabs, Clams and Amazing underwater Sea Creatures. A search along an area of low tide coastline showing how to find scallops and crabs. Talking about the different sea creatures and clams we find. We then make an amazing discovery, the super low tide has exposed many baby shark eggs, we rescue the baby sharks and release them to safety. Then The Fishlocker family have a wonderful sunny winter beach cookup. I show how to prepare Scallops and how to cook Scallops on an open fire. Simple and delicious. If you enjoyed this video please check out more of our Coastal Foraging Playlist and have a wonderful day.

I echo Maksym here. You two are amazing parents to a wonderful young man who, whilst giving us so much enjoyment in broadening our knowledge, impart it on to James whilst bringing these videos together. As for the gastronomic results at the end...??? Get outa here man!!! LUSH!! As ever... my Best Wishes to all of you.

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you Mike and have a brilliant day my friend 😊👍🏻

[@knoxtique]

Spot on mate ,i was just thinking what wonderful affirming parents you both are and how great you are bringing up James!!!!!!!!!

[@chpet1655]

Really is a lucky boy to such a great mom n dad

[@maksymedel2569]

And hopefully James will be as smart in marine biology as his father :) In these hard times watching such videos are exactly what's needed!

[@TheFishLocker]

James is already smarter than me 😂😂

[@billrobbins5874]

The memories son will cherish of times together with Dad and Mom will always be most fond. ♥️♥️♥️

[@jesselliott604]

It’s a pleasure to watch James grow & become a little man like his dad.

[@TheFishLocker]

He’s just an absolute joy 😊😊

[@neiladcock8382]

I feel like a Fishlocker Stalker

[@TheFishLocker]

😂😂

[@Alex4mAustin]

I love watching these videos. Family time is everything. James use to only eat marshmallows, now he’s gradually eating sea food. My son has slowly started to trust me that some foods are delicious no matter what it may look like. Keep the wholesome content coming.

[@TheFishLocker]

We knew with gentle persuasion that his own curiosity would win out. 👍🏻

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Those little baby sharks were absolutely precious! May they grow up to never steal your baits or raid your pots! 😆🥰

[@TheFishLocker]

Haha. I feel that is inevitable 🤣

[@alexisgrunden1556]

@@TheFishLocker Well, for their relatives, probably~🤣 But I'm going to hang on to the cheerful, optimistic delusion that their teeny little smooth brains will remember the scent of the giant who rescued them 💖 ...ah, crap; I just realized: even if they DO remember your scent and like you, that means they're going to be _attracted_ to your gear! 😩😫😅😂

[@adelineforbes]

James was so talkative in this video. So lovely to see his sense of humor 🤣 great video 😊

[@TheFishLocker]

He is becoming a proper little character isn’t he. 💙

[@dusantomic9983]

Just love this channel. It's not just about fishing but educational, family, cooking etc. Hits it right on soooo many levels. Well done!

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you. I am glad that the information transfers across in the videos. Have a lovely day. 😊

[@mstrdiver]

John - The only thing missing from this early spring foraging effort was a nice lobster for you and Hannah to share. Here's hoping the Fishlockers stay safe and healthy.

[@bettybardin1103]

I love the way you are teaching your son how to forge, what is safe and what is not, not taking the things you don't care to eat, like the oysters, I have family that will take everything because they can "share with others". Afterwards it just goes to waste. These are life lessons that will help him many years from now. The fact that you don't take everything, but only enough to feed your family for this one meal also shows respect for the land. You are teaching him the ins and outs of living from the land. Seafood is best eaten when fresh because it goes bad fast, nobody wants bad seafood. Thank you for sharing with us, many will never be able to do this on our own. Your son is well behaved and respectful, that is awesome and something we don't see enough. I wish half of the students I worked with had parents teach this at home. Thank you again for sharing with us. May God continue to bless your family.

[@TheFishLocker]

That is exactly what we try to teach. Take only what you need and treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. 😊

[@jjslifekitchen7619]

By the time he is 14 James is going to be able to teach environmental studies at the University! Love watching you impart knowledge on your son, and at the same time educating us. Your patience is to be appreciated and respected. Love seeing you and your family foraging together. Keep up the great work John...I will be watching.

[@TheFishLocker]

Teaching our children about the natural world around us has been one of my life’s great joys. 😊💙

A genuine family time. Well done everyone. Thank You. 🇺🇸

Family values, awesome.

[@TheFishLocker]

Couldn't agree more Paul.

[@debraanneclark2188]

Wow a fascinating forage and James is yet again increasing his knowledge passed on by you and Hannah plus what an experience to come across freshly hatched bull huss and dogfish, then to release them to give them a better chance of survival

[@TheFishLocker]

They were the perfect little miniatures. Thanks for joining us 👍🏻🙏🏼

[@debraanneclark2188]

[@RetRNmamawMe]

Thanks!

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you very much.

[@Scotland_my]

That was another belter. James has come on in confidence around the sea creatures so much recently. Really loved the the care shown to the wee sharks. It's not a Fish Locker video without a dogfish. 🤣🥰

[@TheFishLocker]

He’s growing into his own little man isn’t he. 😊👍🏻

[@JohnnyLaps]

Always a joy John.Foraging is something everyone should do.Its fun, educational and free!!I'm so happy you enjoyed a nice day with your family 👍

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you John and have a great day. 😊👍🏻

[@popquizzz]

This child (James) and his children will never starve. His Mom & Pop are teaching him invaluable lessons that are sadly never taught any longer. I am so glad that growing up in elementary school we were brought down to the shores of Gloucester, and Rockport for discovery field trips and we were taught basics of foraging. We turned over rocks and searched for and learned how to respect the wildlife of the areas. Is this even done anymore? Of course not, in America they are too busy teaching boys, that they can be girls and girls, that they can be boys.

[@TheFishLocker]

I agree with you. The world has the wrong priorities right now imo.

[@SteveBartley-b7l]

Really impressed with the little fella

Look at y'all, saving lives! What a wonderful afternoon to spend together as a family! James has come a long way from a couple years ago, being too afraid to pull up a razor clam! Look at James enjoying scallops now! Oh I'm so glad. I can't help but think it's a double edged sword--yes, he gets to enjoy fabulously fresh scallops, but now mummy and daddy have to share!!

[@SeaBear777]

I get that the Pacific rock oysters are invasive, but to hear that people go around smashing them with hammers is insane. They are absolutely delicious and quite expensive to buy, so why not collect them for food to lessen their numbers, instead of wasting them? Where's the common sense?
