- With the incredible Cornish weather and superb water clarity my friends and I take a trip out for some diving/snorkeling. Incredible underwater creatures, seaweeds and delicious shellfish. Followed by a wonderful Fish Locker family cookup. 3 generations of family enjoying time together on the beach with a fresh Cornish seafood cookup on an open fire.

John - My Sunday in Virginia is now complete! I have another uploaded Fishlocker video to view. How did you know I wanted another foraging video today? You must be saturated with ESP. Thanks, and all of you stay safe and healthy.
Please tell Mr. Jim that it was good to see him after the COVID break, and even though this wasn't Spargo's Kitchen, it sure looked tasty.
Have you ever tried contacting a company about underwater drones John? I think it could make for some pretty good footage/scouting and you're always out in interesting places so I'm sure they would sort you out with one for a few videos.
I suggest "QYSEA" over at media@qysea.com from the different drones I've seen but either way, I'd just love to see it.
I have been contacted by several but not yet seen anything that would make me want to agree a partnership or buy it myself.
@@TheFishLocker that's a shame, most of the videos I've seen have been more like "look, a pretty fish" which is nice and all but I think it'd be great with your knowledgeable voice over style like with your diving vids. Just in places you'd be less happy about diving or harder to dive (some of the drones can get to like 300ft deep)
I just love your ethics! In every video you make sure to take just for one meal, and you always think if they are old enough to be eaten. I appreciate you so much for it, honestly. The world needs this attitude way more often.
John - As you were diving today to hand gather scallops and saw at least one lobster, what are the reasons for lobstering in your region if there are any for recreational gathering?
Thank you very much. I am glad that transfers across in the videos. It is something we are also teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. 😊
Who was the woman in the blue t-shirt ? X
You have to start a tour guiding service where you do this kind of thing with visitors. I would totally fly to England and pay for that 😉
I second this!!
We have done before. But only as a bespoke one off. You could email us and we can see what can be done? Teamlocker1@gmail.com
@@TheFishLocker awesome, when traveling gets easier i definitely will 😁 thank you 😊
Same
Such a great video!!!!!! I'm so thankful I found this channel. You content is always worth a watch! And if I EVER get to travel, I'll be heading your way for sure.
The involvement of all the family, makes this one of my favourites
Mine too. 😊
I have never been so jealous in my entire life.
Fresh scallops cooked on the beach with your family! Heaven!
Great video 👌🏻
It has taken me to this point in my life to realise times like this are what are most important. 😊
I live in Italy, in northern Tuscany. We say "fare la scarpetta" which basically means, "to do it with the little shoe." I really enjoyed your snorkeling video. Just amazing and beautiful what lives underwater. Happy to see that you and your family are thriving. God bless you all.
That is the exact phrase I was referring to thank you. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker Il mio piacere. :-)
Those underwater shots are the best. The life and the colors are amazing. 👍👍👍👍
I absolute love the underwater parts. 😊
It wasn't so many years ago when it required a professional cameraman using a bulky film unit with a special housing to get anything at all underwater.
The clarity of the sea was amazing , as was your underwater footage. Once again my favourite was the few seconds of the little Leopard spotted goby , the colour gets me every time . Made my Sunday evening watching the video. !!!!
They are a wonderful little fish aren't they. 😊
Oh heck! I can almost taste those scallops you are cooking! Thanks for these recent undewater clips and I am enjoying them immensely. What great vizibilty there at the moment too and it allows you show off the beauty of your Cornish waters. If more people had the love and understanding of their surrounding waters that you have, then the world would be a much better place.
Hopefully our videos may encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world around them. 😊
Honestly, can it get any better then that? Amazing
Such a beautiful day 🦞🦞
@@TheFishLocker it looked amazing, especially with family, can’t beat it!
Not Hardly!! 👍👍
I'm starting to form the opinion that 'The Fish Locker' might actually the perfect life! A good team...
We are simply making the most of what we have. 😊
I agree. It's like a marine version of "The Good Life". Do doo, Do doo doo ;)
Even the forgotten fish locker got me crying
😉
The Fraggle rock comment brought a Smile and a tear to me...
Fraggle Rock a show from my youth made me laugh a lot on weekend afternoons.
:( My Father and Jim Henson both sadly passed on the same day May 16, 1990.
RIP Dad, Jim Henson.
I am glad that we could remind you of a happy time in your youth. 😊
Baby fish locker yeeting the bucket at the end made my day. Love your videos
He is just pure joy isn't he.😊
"scarpetta" is the Italian term you're thinking of - means "little shoe", because you drag a little hunk of bread through the leftover sauce like you're scuffing a shoe!
That is exactly what I was thinking of, thank you. 😊
Going through the back catalogue that I've missed, amazing clarity and footage that rivals most nature programmes, good work Fellla!!
The underwater footage in this is really special isn’t it. 😊💙
getting the juice's off with bread in Italy is called making a "SCARPETTA"..
Thats the one. 😉👍🏻
Beautiful footage, knowledgeable narration, and ethical collection. The Cousteau Society and National Geographic should be this diverse. Thank you, as always! But now I want seafood...
I simply hope that our videos may help to spread a little awareness and positivity during these difficult times. 😊
Just look at that turquoise water....stunning, and what a haul of scallops and cobalt blue lobsters....ps if you have netflix, my octopuss the teacher is worth a watch, cheers for the upload!!!
It was absolutely stunning!
Fantastic water clarity
Brilliant dive
Gorgeous food doesn't get any better
Living the dream
Absolutely 😊
I moved from England to the US about 15 years ago. Unfortunately nowhere near the sea. Thank you for the awesome reminders of home. When allowed, I'll be popping back to visit my parents, and now I'm going to have to visit the coast while I'm there to relive memories!
Safe travels to you. 😊
The underwater footage was stunning! Really enjoy your knowledgeable narrative and sense of humor. The segment with your family and friends was so positive. Thanks so much for sharing!
I am glad that you enjoyed it Candice. 😊
Great family and friends sharing in the bounty of the sea. It doesn’t get any better than that. Thanks again for sharing.
It is our pleasure David. 😊👍🏻
Total ASMR underwater footage. The family Coolio on the beach was so much fun! Thanks for inviting us along!
Any time Teresa. 😊
We love watching your videos and more of our friends and family are also now enjoying them-the insight of our coastlines and cooking sea food that we would only ever consider eating in restaurants. Very nice to see your family joining in with the fun-such a lovely beach and amazing its in the uk.
That is wonderful to hear Mike, I am very glad that you and your fiends are enjoying sharing in our passions. Have a wonderful day mate and stay safe. 😊
A day out for the entire family, hey, I am jealous. Well done guys
We have waited a long time for it. 😊
Wonderful episode! I enjoyed this one thoroughly as per usual. But I wanted to tell you that the diving was such a treat for this landlocked Kansan that I really hope to see another one like it soon. Good to see the family having a great day at the beach!
Thank you Barbara, I do love the underwater videos. Best wishes and take care. 😊
from philippines here.. i love watching your videos.. taking what's only needed to keep the population sustainable.. really amazing..
Thank you. 😊
That water looks absolutely gorgeous!!! Sometimes it makes me think What a lovely abode that our lord has gifted us with. Love the video as always ✨
There is so much beauty in the world. 😊
Fantastic clarity n tidal open water, it’s why I love the Lizard and it’s bays. Can’t believe you lifted the copulating couple. If the BFG did that to you and Hannah.......
Can’t believe you swim at Fraggle lighthouse . That’s real history.
I honestly didn’t know they were being intimate until I picked them up. 🤣🦀
@@TheFishLocker 😂😂
I’m not the greatest fan of seafood but watching your videos makes me want to try lobster and scallops so much! Loved seeing all the family having fun and enjoying the food!
I am glad that you enjoyed joining us. 😊
Lovely seeing everyone out and about. Hope your daughter is doing well too. 😌
She is simply a teenager. And all that goes with it. 🤣
La Scarpetta = dunking bread. That’s the Italian terminology you were thinking of. Cheers to you for another awesome video!
It is my pleasure. 😊
So happy for y’all getting to spend some time with all the family. Excellent video as always.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Travis, it has been a long time coming. 😊
Thank you! What a privilege to join you, not only for the diving, but for the feast you shared on the beach. It was a delight to see you able, at last, to share with extended family and friends! Your delight was palpable, too! Keep well and enjoy the spring tides and the bounty they bring! Love to you all from the two of us here in NZ xx
It was so wonderful to be able to share our time and food with family again. 😊💙
Another superb video! I second the comment from Claudia about a guide service. I’d be there in a heartbeat.
Send us a PM on the Fishlocker fb page. 😊
Yay, I love it when I am early!! Love your videos, tell your wife to keep making her receipe videos. I learn so much watching this channel and the cook ups...
John / Ms. Hannah - does Mrs. Fishlocker dive or snorkel? I often wondered if she did and if so, why we didn't see her underwater or even swimming with you?
@@mstrdiver why is this being posted under my post? You need to make your own separate comment. Thanks!
I will pass on the message. 😊
Since you mentioned Fraggle Rock, let me explain something that you (and your viewers) may not know, and many viewers might be confused when you point to a lighthouse and say “It’s just like Fraggle Rock”
When Fraggle Rock was made, the company allowed the sequences involving the humans to be culturally different and filmed in different regions.
For example, in the Americas - we had “Doc and Sprocket”, and older man/inventor who worked in a small workshop with his dog.
In the UK, they swapped out those scenes for “The Captain and Sprocket”. This man was a retired sailor who lived in a lighthouse with his dog, Sprocket.
So, clearly FL was talking about the UK version here. Just to clarify for anyone who saw the Americas/other versions! =D
Thank you for explaining! I was a little bit confused, having grown up with Doc and Sprocket.
Thank you for the clarification.😊
Water is so clear and blue...that little blue crab with long antennae..beautiful...and great family.
Absolutely beautiful wasn’t it?! Thank you for watching 👍🏻🦞
I don't think i will ever get sick of watching you collect scallops, just very jealous haha. Looks like you and your family had an amazing day, thank you for bringing us along
It is our pleasure. 😊
AWWWW the whole family. Never more impressed that you keep it interesting and have more fam n friends! Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate. 😊
Great to see you and the family out in the fine weather on the beach! I'm sure that Elizabeth is enjoying it too... secretly perhaps... haha. Great to see James having such enormous fun too! And great food by masterchef(s) to top it off! No better way to celebrate family coming together. Well done John!
James has fun everywhere. 😊
@@TheFishLocker He's a wonderful happy boy!
Your diving mates are charming. I just love the view, especially the underwater shots. And it couldn't be fresher than eating seafood that you literally just gathered on your own. Makes you really appreciate the beauty of nature.
We are simply sharing what we love doing. Family fun enjoying the outdoors. 😊
You are the poetic scientist of the sea. Thank you for what you do and keep doing it!
Thank you Quincy. 😊
Five minutes in, it's like 'Where's Wally' for scallops! I'm so jealous you can just go and grab them 😂
It is not as easy as it looks. 😉
Freshest scallops possible. They have to be delicious.
* PS, In many Slavic nations a man isn't truly a man if he can't produce a great outdoor meal for his friends. You'd be an alpha male there.
Absolutely!! You can’t beat it!
I love snorkling though I rarely get to go. It looked so peaceful watching you in the water. The food looked good too,
I really do love it. 😊
I love the snap change. And that smile! Perfect.
Makes me grin everytime.
Getting all three of us to coordinate was tricky. Like herding cats. 🤣
"You Sir, have an invite to dinner". Hannibal Lecter all over again!
Haha. 😊🦞
Way to age yourself with that Fraggle Rock reference... and make me feel old in the process 🤣🤣 love your vids, brother - and this was one of your best... keep it up
Haha. 😊
The great thing about scallops is they come with their own skillet ;)
Agreed!!
Just incredible to see this on our doorstep. The water is crystal clear, amazing stuff John
I'm glad you could join us mate. 😊
DOWN IN FRAGGLE ROCK
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this no jk its actually on one of our channels early in the morning lol be on in bout hour or so 🤣🤣🤣❤👍
What a show!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Have you got a new camera recently? Your footage is always on point, but I swear the resolution in your last couple of videos have been even better! 👍
😉 I am glad you think so Amber. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker I agree with Amber; STUNNING video & the resolution...OMG!!!!
Best regards, Ben
What a great day! Family, going for a swim, catch dinner, cook out, ENJOY!
Great way to spend a day I think.
I watch all sorts of content on TH-cam: music, sport, angling, motors, politics ... but to be able to switch off for 25:29 and enjoy our incredible underwater world is just priceless.
Thanks John & the Fishlocker crew
We are simply happy to be able to share a little bit of positivity with you Steve. Take care mate. 😊🎣
2:46 definitely spoiled the mood XD
You never know, some folks are into that. 😉
I’m so envious of anyone who is able to drive an hour, two hours or less to get to the ocean. I live in Mesa, AZ so it’s hours for me to get to the ocean.
I feel your pain. I live 500-miles from the ocean. I would love to be able to forage along a beach every week for supper!
I know the feeling. Oklahoma here.
Trey - I used to be stationed at Fort Huachuca, AZ, and helped PADI- train new Army lieutenants down in San Carlos, Mexico. For us, it was about a seven-hour drive and they had some decent motels along the beach area but that goes back to the early 80s. I don't know what's available now of course, since I live in Virginia, but it was just an idea for you to consider.
I have lived inland and in the city before and hated it. Coastal life is the way forward.
It's fascinating when people actually care about ecosystem. I've always admired that.
In my mind that is the only way to behave - and is something we are teaching our children. 😊
What fun to have friends and family eating fresh caught shellfish by the ocean's edge.
The perfect way to spend a day. 😊
Imagine you’re enjoying your honeymoon then all of a sudden someone picks you and your spouse up in their hand. The nerve of some people. 😤
I dare say there will be some folks out there who would enjoy that. 😉
Its been a few weeks, enjoyed the underwater adventure of scallops, spider crabs and lobster find. Good to hear the population is healthy there. Very nice ending with a beach meal with friends and family.
Thank you Jan, I am glad that you enjoyed joining us. 😊
My nose was glued to the monitor watching you search for scallop shells and show how they swim. Your knowledge and beautiful videography is far more interesting than any National Geographic show! Thank you!!
I just love what we do. 😊
Scarpetta you lucky so and so’s. Another gem of a video. Ye are very lucky people having such amenities on your doorstep! If everyone took care of it as ye do it could be there for generations to come . AMAZING 🦞🎣🦑❤️❤️❤️
Hopefully from our example people will do the same. 😊
Pure torture. Thanks for that. Great vid. guys, keep up the fantastic work.
Haha. Sorry mate. 😉👍🏻
This is one of your best video, I enjoyed it a lot especially the diving part.
Thank you. 😊
James's aggression at the end I felt on a personal level. That's me!!!
Haha. He was just giving in the moment!!! 🤣
Absolutely fantastic watch. My mouth has never watered so much. Those scallops and lobsters looked stunning. 👍👍👍
I am glad that you enjoyed the video. 😊
OMG Jon what a great vlog, the underwater footage with your pals was amazing, so so clear. Love your foraging methods, just take enough and I must have something to eat before watching your cook up, mouth watering goodness. So good to see all the Fish Locker team on such a lovely day. Stay safe and keep them vlogs coming.
Thank you Paul and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
Awesome! Thank you for another wonderful video!
It is our pleasure 😊
That water so clear and it's still springtime! And a long awaited family outing, brilliant stay safe from BIGMICK IN HULL👍😷
Thanks Mick.😊
What a beautiful way to spend a n afternoon with the family having fun and excellent fresh caught seafood on the beach
It was close to perfection. It has been a long time since we could mix with family properly and they have been missed.😊
Hi John. You have done it again, just had my tea and watching you having a fest with your friends and family just made me hungry again 😂 .lovely video catching and eating so great food. Cheers Ian
Haha. Sorry about that mate. 😊👍🏻
What a wonderful day out. James is soooo lucky to have all this in his childhood 😎
We are the lucky ones. 😊
i loved that show! i remember "down on fraggle rock, down on fraggle rock!" a very nice day with ya .... best to ya mate
Haha. Glad you enjoyed it mate. 😊
James is having great fun xx 😊and the cooking stuning xx
James just loves life. 😊
I remember Fraggle Rock! My son loved it. 😊 I have to say I am jealous of that view! The water, the lighthouse, just GORGEOUS!
It isn't hard to see why we love where we live is it. 😊
What a fabulous crystal clear sea teeming with life followed by a terrific family picnic to end the day. Thanks for sharing it with us.
It is our pleasure Tony. 😊
What a lovely day with friends and good food and of course lovely James.
Wonderful family time. 😊
I never mind about commercials. I let it play because I appreciate your works👏such an inspiration with attitude. keep goin John
Thank you very much. 😊
Great entertainment. Excellent day out catching and cooking delicious food with friends and relatives. What a fantastic way to spend a lovely sunny day.
No better way IMO. 😊
Your videos are nearly cinematic quality! I haven't seen anything this good since Jacque Cousteau back in the 1970's. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much. It’s all self taught and simply sharing what we love doing. 😊👍🏻
From someone who lives in the middle of charnwood forest. This was amazing and so relaxing!
I am glad that you enjoyed it. 😊
John just to reiterate what everyone else is saying in the comment section pal it can’t get any better than this video it had absolute everything soft music under water footage an abundance of knowledge fresh sea food cooked perfectly a dinner and most of all family because for the last year by heck iv missed mine so from the bottom of my heart pal THANKYOU.All the very best to all the family take care 🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was us simply sharing everything we are thankful for. Our friends, our family and the wonders provided to us by the natural world around. I hope you and your family are safe and well and can get together soon. 😊
What a cook up. Well deserved after a long dive. This makes me want to move to cornwall 😂👌🏻😋
The clarity in this dive was exceptional. I real treat. 😊
@@TheFishLocker yes didn’t look like British waters. Very good day
When you said fraggle rock, I laughed cause we were educating our kids on old shows like Fraggle rock, The Wombles and I hope you can remember worzel gummidge. such good times at home with kids and to top it all a Fish locker video...
Haha. What a coincidence. Small world isn't it.😊
Really nice video! I always enjoy watching your catch & cook ones. Looks like a great time all around. :)
Thank you Katie. I am glad that you enjoy the content. 😊
Good proper family fun with a good organic feed thrown in for good measure, plus a lesson on conservation 👍 awesome as always
We are simply sharing what we love doing mate.😊
Fantastic. Good to see Jim back on the show! Young James is absolutely thriving. Great video buddy.
Thanks David, yes we are all doing well thank you for asking. 😊
What a beautiful day
It really was. 😊
Absolutely cooked to perfection
Good, as I was cooking for 2 professional chefs. 🤣
Beautiful coastline,awesome clarity sea!
Still soup here,I'm ready though ;)
Stay safe
Oh yeah,new tin? Easter!!!! lol
Thank you Chris. 😊
This is why I enjoy your videos so much...it's what life is all about.
Getting together with friends and family to enjoy some great food together and relax. It doesn't get any better than that. I am, however, VERY envious that you can go diving anytime and pull up those beautiful scallops....now I'm starving!
I am glad that the mood of the video conveyed the message we were giving. This truly is what life is about. Love what you and do and share it with friends and family. 😊
@@TheFishLocker We love you guys. You're the best.
Delightful as always!😍
Thank you Wendy. 😊
Loved the diving footage. The light and clarity came together to produce a paradise!
It was wonderful wasn't it. 😊
It's called la scarpetta. Fare la scarpetta, roughly translated as “to do the little shoe,” is the very charming act of using a small piece of bread to mop up the wonderful sauce on your plate that you cannot possibly leave behind. wonderful Video John
Thats it. It just escaped my memory at the time. 😊👍🏻
Another fantastic underwater glimpse of the shear volume of life and nature that’s down there.thank you John , a well deserved feast with your family in an idillic location 👍🏼 all the best.
It is simply down to the conservation methods and sustainable mindset of the local population. 😊
Amazing all new to me even at 81 but brilliant thank you
Our pleasure Trig 👍🏻
You are the man FL...many blessings to you and your family
Best wishes to you and yours my friend. 😊
It was just amazing beautiful under water view and catch, delicious cooking.
Sea, Seafood, friends,family that's all which make life beautiful in this time. GBFL🙏🙏
We are simply sharing what we love doing my friend.😊
