Excellent educational video. Foraging seafood from ocean-salt water bodies can truly be a "Horn of Plenty". While to a lesser degree Fresh Water bodies also offer excellent such as, Fish,Crayfish,Fresh Water Crab etc as well. Indentificatiin, discernment and Foraging for seafood is important survival task to know, such skills will give people skills to sustain their lives when necessary. For many people Seafood is an excellent source of nourishment. Thank You Sir you sharing your knowledge.

Another lovely video Craig! That meal would cost a fortune in a big fancy restaurant out here in California. Loved the octopus, what a rare find!

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

Thank you furryshrimp,we are really fortunate to have access to all this sea life here in Wales UK,regards Craig

[@silliepooh]

I totally agree. Plus, we can't just go and forage like this. We have to have fishing license and forage a certain type at a certain season/months. And only parts of the coast is open for fishing/foraging.

[@furryshrimp]

I have a fishing license now and for California residents a year license is about $50 US, $5 more for an ocean extension. I ended up getting one for the grunion run, but will now more frequently go coastal foraging. Such strict laws here on foraging.

[@silliepooh]

I’m in San Jose, north of Santa Cruz. The whole Monterey County is restricting mussels picking. I think clams as well. But I’ve gotta read the rules again. But Pacifica has an awesome pier for fishing and Dungeness crabs. I’ve got the annual license with second rod. Going fresh water foraging is pretty too, especially tiny green clams and signal crayfishes. Recommend you try them.

[@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447]

I recall seeing some film of the grunion spawning -fish and eggs everywhere,good luck,regards Craig

[@maxwilliams1060]

HA! YOu're right I missed that, fair enough. At first I was upset as I'm a scuba diver, and I've done Welsh dives quite a lot and never seen an octopus, but that's probably because they're A. Small & B. hunt at night. But this is a "Curled octopus", which numbers are "On the increase" according to Wikipedia. Carry on. (Still LOVE you vids & your DOG!)

[@ericunderwood6728]

Max Williams you're a gentleman in my opinion, I live in Southern California, quite common here, caught one once fishing on a pier, about the same size as Craig's, it plopped itself off on to the pier and I reached down and grabbed it not expecting it to grab me back 8 times over in a startled reflex I flung it off my hand and it sailed a good 50 meters spinning like a frisbee!
