Coastal Foraging At Night - Scallops, Cockles, Crabs and More With Scallop and Cockle Cook Up

I've noticed you reply to a vast majority of your comments on here, I think that's brilliant, commitment and dedication to your channel sums up why many of us are so fond. Love it.

- I reply to every proper comment on the entire channel Lukas. It is a lot of work but I think especially during these difficult times it is important that people receive some interaction. It may take me a while but I do get to everyone. We are not like other channels who purely post for the likes and the views - which I think people recognise and enjoy.

Hey , noticed I used your word “Crackin”, do I get extra points?🤣 If you keep up with the US election, the attorney for Trump used it also, but in a different way, she’s going to “Release the Cracken “, next three weeks are going to very interesting and very educational. Enjoy your day, thanks again.👍. Like both cooking formats, now if I only lived in Cornwall.

[@TheFishLocker]

@@jameskoch7190 - This is what I don’t understand. Surely this is bad for politics no matter what the outcome. If the dems are found to have cheated in some way - surely that would cause irreparable damage to their credibility and reputation. And if they haven’t and everything is 100% above board. How come they aren’t in the white house yet?

[@jameskoch7190]

@@TheFishLocker I’ll try to make this short and understandable. It takes 270 Electoral votes to win the election. Each state has as many votes as they have members in Congress, Where I live Arkansas has 6, we have 4 House members(Representatives) and 2 Senators. Every state has 2 Senators. The number of Representatives is based on the state’s population. The winner of the office is not base on number of popular votes, but Electoral votes. The Electoral votes are won by winning the popular vote in each state. The votes must be certified by the appropriate state official, by December 13th. Now here’s the nag this year, there is a high degree of suspicion on the popular votes in 5 choice states. And if it is found to be true of false tabulation, then those votes can’t be certified and must be discarded. Then if no one candidate get 270 Electoral votes, the decision is made in the House of Representatives. Are you still with me?🤣🤣🤣🤪 If it goes to the House, then each state has 1 vote. Then that is decided by casting a vote for the candidate that won the most states. Trump won more states in the general election than Biden. Therefore Trump will be re-elected President, and that is why Trump hasn’t conceded the election. This has happened before in America history but very early on, when the House determined the winner. Right now a lot of investigations into computer manipulation is ensuing. Strange things happened election night. Much fraud and corruption have been alleged. Makes for an interesting Christmas doesn’t it? I hope this has helped.

[@23valleyroad]

Eh up John, the care you take with all sea life is commendable and is a fantastic message to pass on to all your viewers. That great oyster you found and released shows the respect you show for something as you say that, would be probably older than you. A creature that lasts that long deserves to live out it's natural time and die in the habitat it has lived in for so many years. I was very proud of myself today, due to me making educated guesses at species and getting most right (all down to you and the family) and for someone who has never seen any of those creatures in real life, it was extremely satisfying. Hope lock down isn't affecting you too much and you are still getting down to the seashore as often is allowed. Please please take care and love to the family x

[@TheFishLocker]

[@xevious2501]

@@TheFishLocker My only problem with seafood, seemingly shell fish, is every blue moon, once every few decades or so, i run into the wrong shell fish, and it causes me to break out in hives terribly. Its happened last December and what a terrible experience it was. I dont know what it is. either something the shellfish rarely encounters or eats that im highly allergic too, or possibly the shellfish going bad, i just dont know, cause i can gulp down a ton of lobsters buffet style with no issues, then one day i'll eat one and all hell breaks loose. Cant say ive ever had any issue from any fried seafood. maybe its a combination of items. last time i did eat a bunch of mixed nuts, Never had a nut allergy but i hear its based on the same principle as shell fish. maybe the combination of the two was enough that my body thought to combat it.

@@TheFishLocker No, there are three forms of symbiotic relationships, parasitism, mutualism and communal. And a sub category of parasitical called hemi- parasitical, such as mistletoe that lives off of the host but also has the means to manufacture food due to the chlorophyll it contains. Just was wondering if the anemone was actually harming the hermit crab or just copping a ride. The crab that attaches items to itself is expressing a mutual symbiotic relationship, the crab get camouflage and the many stationary life forms get mobility. Thus a greater food source.

I had a couple of scallops in my lunch today. I had the best seafood basket I think I've ever had! A nice big piece of battered fish (could have been flake (gummy shark) or possibly baramundi) with some kind of cumin seasoning underneath the batter, 2 battered scallops (cooked to perfection), 3 big strips of crumbed squid, I'm assuming local because it was super fresh and tender, a pair of prawns that had been char grilled and beer battered chips with a side salad!! One way to celebrate your 40th birthday at least! And I found out they're on Menulog, so will definitely be getting takeaway from there again!

[@TheFishLocker]

- Brendad. That sounds absolutely freakin delicious!!! Happy birthday mate. 😊

[@rox1331]

Thanks John another wonderful video, I loved the hermit crabs, it was nice you threw the oyster back, that shows great respect for the sea life, and wonderful scallops they looked delicious.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thank you Georgina. I do feel that there is a balance and good deeds and well meaning acts are repaid to you. Take care and have a wonderful day. 😊

[@drew4503]

As always very enjoyable and informative. Just for a moment I thought that scallop in the intro was going to say welcome to the fish locker.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. Nah, this one wasn’t as talkative as the last ones. 😛

[@JohnSmith-fd4wt]
