- Starting at sunrise a friend and I have some lure fishing over inshore reefs - catching my friends biggest ever Pollack. Then we anchor up in a sheltered bay and dive for shellfish. Incredible underwater creatures and delicious scallops and lobster. Then we head to Spargos kitchen for a delicious cookup of Lobster Risotto with pan seared Scallops.
Here are links to some of the tackle we used in the video. I hope it helps.

It is great! You too💙
I hope you and your family and Mr Spargo and his family have a blessed day.
Thank you for so much quality content.
Happy holidays to your whole family. And many blessed days on the water as well.
@@justwinks1553 - It is our pleasure. Best wishes and have a wonderful day. 😊
You too mate, happy Xmas to you and family x
It always amazes me how much life there is down there even when it looks like there's nothing happening. The underwater footage never gets old!
Mate I absolutely love the underwater stuff. By far my favourite. 😊
Loving the banter onboard John! The underwater footage! Superb. (Those mackerel!) And Jim's risotto to finish... Oh My Word!!! A sublime video John - and another crackin' recipe from Spargo's Kitchen. Thank you everyone!
The mackerel shoal was just incredible. I love the underwater stuff.
@@TheFishLocker- John, what is / was the dark floating object that appeared in the camera frame @ 07:32 moving left to right behind you both as Chris was fighting his fish? It seemed to disappear from view about 08:08, reappearing briefly @ 08:36 off in the distance. Oddly enough it looked and moved like the barrels [except for the color] attached to the harpoon line in the movie "Jaws" or is it possibly a buoy of some sort just seeming to move as you floated on the tide?
good morning fish locker. i turned 75 yesterday 3/4 of a century old. gad, got a great letter from my daughter jen in salt lake city ut. she relayed a camping trip and hike we went on in detail complete with descriptions i had forgotten about. she relayed just how much fun it was as well as the confidence it gave her, she is my adventure daughter. i spoke to you about creating memories that will help them over the rough spots in life, that camp out and hike was over 40 years ago and she remembers it in detail. keep up the good work dad. cb
That sounds like a wonderful heart warming letter and I imagine you must have great pride in your children. 😊
Been there before, I watch my friend catch fish after fish and I get skunked! The water was so clear, great footage. That risotto looked perfect. Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoyed joining us mate. The dive was wonderful even if a little chilly. 🥶🤣
A thank you to Jim and all, John. Lovely! A bit hungry now, though!
It is our pleasure Elizabeth. 😊
You were right, that was some great underwater footage! But the chef may have stoled the show with that delicious looking meal he made with your catch! Very nice my friend 🤠
Jim did a wonderful job didn’t he. It was absolutely delicious. 😊
Great video as always John. I will admit my favourite ones are the ones that feature Jim cooking. you have a beautiful bond with him
Jim is a wonderful isn’t he. 😊
Just got the chance today to watch as always you never fail to please. I sure needed that dive today. So peaceful and tranquil. So wish I was there for the silence. God Bless, stay safe and well. Thanks so much once again. Gonna rewatch on a big screen.
It is my pleasure Sandra. 😊
Bob and Paul watch out! The usual balance of entertainment, education and tastiness.
🤣🤣
Just made this lobster risotto for my birthday dinner, following the recipe as best as possible and the family loved it! My 5 yr son and I love to watch your videos and try and make the recipes
I hope that you enjoyed it. 😊
Unbelievably lovely John. Thanks so much.
It is our pleasure Patti. I am glad that you could join us. 😊
That risotto was so tasty. Just goes to show that if you have fresh seafood and take the time to make great stock, you can make really good risotto. That pollock your friend caught was massive. What a nice fish to take home.
It was the largest one he has ever caught!! And yes the risotto was delicious. 😊🦞
You really need a Spargo’s Kitchen Channel! I’m sure all your subscribers would subscribe straight away.
The fishing and diving makes me want to come down to Cornwall next year and have a go,
Thank you for all of the effort you all go into to make the videos, they are amazing!
Jim is just winding down to retirement and is happy just to assist us here. I have mentioned it to him.
@@TheFishLocker I’d love to have his recipes posted online at least. His seafood dishes look amazing!
Rule of thumb for rice : One good handful of dry rice is about a fair portion, measure its volume in a jug and use double that volume of water or stock.
Brown rice needs a wee bit more. Cracking video John.
Everyone’s hands are different sizes though?
OK, Jim needs to write a cookbook. I enjoyed this one from the standpoint of how much you were into having your friend catch fish. A true fishing buddy, I might say. Great footage!
Everything we do on the channel is just about enjoying fishing and being amongst it all mate. I was honestly really stoked for Chris catching his PB Pollack. 👍🏻🎣
You weren’t lying! this video really
Does have it all! Absolutely amazing. This
Makes me want to eat seafood!
I am glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
Wow, who said British people can’t cook?!? This risotto was made in the proper Italian way, with the shells making the broth and everything, 👏 well done looks delicious
My father in law Jim is a wonderful chef, I have honestly never eaten anything made by him that I didn’t like. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I can tell, top restaurant meal that is 😻lucky you, eating fresh fish and delicious risotto at the same time 😫so jealous
This was like a fantasy world. And the way you fish is like magic to me.😄
I am glad that you enjoy joining us. 😊
This is just so magical. The underwater part with that music is incredible 👍
I am glad you enjoyed it. I always work for a long time picking the right soundtrack.
Perfect last diving video of this year. Hats off to Chris for being humble
Haha. Yeah he is a humble kinda guy. I’m sure he will never bring it up again. 😳
Hi John , what a great piece of video, I think one of your best , excellent under water photography . Sorry about your catch rate but that’s why it’s call fishing and not catching. What a great way to spend an hour on a cold windy Sunday afternoon. Jim’s looks to be keeping up his superb standard in the kitchen.
Haha. It just shows that some days it’s just not your day. If I had been on my own likely those fish would have found my lure. But this day they just weren’t meant for me. 😊👍🏻
Love watching you under water, can't wait for the summer again!! Thank you xxx
I know you should never wish away the time you have, but I long for summer again too. 😊
John is brilliant, thanks for that mate!
Also brilliant video, cheers for continuing to make these!
It’s our pleasure. 😊
You were correct Sir, this video has so many delights! You getting out fished by Chris was priceless. The underwater work was beautiful. Gonna have to start calling you Cousteau here pretty quick John. The background music was perfect as well. Getting Jim in there to show you how it's done, made for a wonderful Sunday treat. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Love home brother.
Glad you enjoyed the video Greg, the mackerel shoal just blew me away. Take care my friend and stay safe. 😊
I have a friend in California that owns a boat. Whenever he takes others out to fish , he won't fish himself. He's a strong believer in, the friend always catches more.
Great video as always.
When I take more than 1 other person out I agree. But when it’s just 2 of us there’s ample room to fish 2. 👍🏻🎣
Another cracking video John, was your father in law a chef by any chance he reminds me of my father who was a chef in a big hotel and I used to help him 60 years ago, again many thanks to you both take care and stay safe.
Yes Keith, Jim has been a professional chef for decades. 😊
First Chris trounces you with the lure, then you redeem yourself in spectacular fashion with that stunning underwater footage to be followed up by Jim the master chef dishing up a medley of your catch. I am in awe of you and your TH-cam channel John. Thanks for being here, oh and I've never caught a fish in my life Lolz!!! 😄👍👍👍
Haha. Chris absolutely rinsed me didn’t he!! I guess I’m just better at putting the boat on the fish than I am at hooking them. 🤣🤣 I loved the underwater footage and the cookup was amazing!!!
@@TheFishLocker - John - I guess that's why he wasn't wearing a flotation vest like @ 05:08. If he won [like he did], over he goes and Bob's your uncle! ;-)
Smashing video John as always I hope that you kept the scallop "frills" as they make excellent bait for bass and bream, they also freeze well.
Thank you. 👍🏻
The beauty of the ocean. Miraculous. This is truly so beautiful. Thank you. I will never be able to see these views. You have made these an experience for me.
It is our pleasure to share them with you. 😊
Another amazing video from beginning to end, Thank you. Looking forward to the next one.
It is our pleasure Simon. Best wishes and have a lovely day. 😊
Fishing, foraging underwater AND a fantastic cook-up! Absolute TRIFECTA!
The only thing missing was the sun. 🤣
The underwater footage is brilliant, magical.
The mackerel footage was insane wasn’t it!!
@@TheFishLocker Insane!!
Thumbs Up John n Chris.... Del..
👍🏻👍🏻
Another terrific video John. Great underwater shots. That Risotto looked delicious! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
I love the underwater videos. They are some of my favourite. 😊👍🏻
Everything Jim has made looks amazing, but that risotto... Oh man.
As Jim said “it was bluddy delicious”
Always love your uploads, thank you..
My pleasure Jacqui. 😊
This adds a wonderful background to my workday stuck in an office, inspiring me to go out fishing at the lake after work most days!
I hope your work day ended swiftly and your fishing was successful. 😊👍🏻
Watching Jim makes me so hungry. He's such an amazing chef and of course wonderful fresh 🦞.
He is simply wonderful isn’t he. 💙
You have gone and done it again mate!! Another top quality video and I'm now feeling very hungry. What a meal looked amazing. Love the bit when that school of fish was swimming around you how amazing was that!!!!! Fantastic mate. All the best mate tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣
The underwater footage of that mackerel shoal was incredible wasn’t it. Totally blew me away.
@@TheFishLocker yea mate was amazing too class!!!! 🎣🎣🎣
John that was an amazing video fantastic fishing, diving and underwater filming thanks for that
I am glad you enjoyed it Willem. 😊👍🏻
I love the music. It is perfect.
I just wish you had a long video of all your underwater footage. It would be serene and calming.
Thank you for the journey.
Happy Sunday!
I might look at putting something together of all of our underwater footage. 😊
Your brave getting in, in these temperatures! Looked delicious great chef and love his part of the videos great presenter!
Jim did a fantastic job didn’t he. 😊
hearing you talking about Australia made me smile lol, we really do have many deadly creatures
I visited northern Queensland when I was younger, I’d love to go back again. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I used to live in Queensland, I grew up there! I live in Melbourne now, it's much cooler there than Queensland is 😊
Chris has come a long way you trained him well John 😂 🎣
Beginners luck. 😉
Now that is a grand way to warm you up from a cold dive ! You guys should pen a cookbook and sell it on-line off the channel.
We shall speak to Jim about it. 😊
Very much enjoyed your latest video John, your efforts and commitment to keep putting up A+ films is much appreciated sir. thank you👍🏼👍🏼
Quality over quantity. 😊
This was another "4 Star Restaurant Meal". A new item for my large and growing Bucket List!
The perfect way to finish a day on the boat.
Great video. Underwater shots were nice and the cooking was great too.
Cheers mate.
That’s your best one yet mate. As a life long fisherman and someone who has worked as a chef in my life that was excellent viewing
Thank you very much Paul, I was hoping to try and give the whole experience from start to finish. How long these sessions take and all the bits in-between. 😊
I have never in my life had risotto. But scallops are my favorite seafood by a mile that looked amazing.
Jim really is a wonderful chef. 😊
Brilliant all round…great fishing lesson for you, fantastic underwater footage and a Spargo special. Loved seeing the mackerel shoal. Thanks.
Haha. I was the one who put the boat on the fish.
Brilliant video, but it's more than that it's so nice to see how you and your fathering law get along and combine your skills to come up with such complete content. Well done both of you.
On a side note I've never had a problem understanding Jim and it's nice too see him become more and more comfortable with the camera. Again job well done👏😁
Jim is one of the best men I have ever known. We are truly fortunate to have him 💙
@@TheFishLocker and dammit the man can really cook! He ought to write a seafood cookbook!
I have a Shetland 570 with a small cuddy cabin. If I light the gas stove (I use the standard camping stove that takes the small cylinders) it heats up the cabin really nicely. I note that you have an open cuddy, but it should still provide a nice heat source.
Fire on boats is not a good idea IMO.
Love the catching then cooking videos! Looked delicious. :)
It tasted delicious too. 😊
Awesome video, the underwater portion was stunning.
The mackerel shoal was awesome wasn’t it!!
I love the relationship you two guys have , heartwarming , keep up the awesome videos my friend 👍
I have been truly blessed to have Jim as my father in law. 😊
The title didn’t disappoint! Brilliant video, cracking fish and that meal at the end just looked so tasty 🤤 great work all round. Best wishes, Ben
Glad you enjoyed the adventure mate. This video really did have it all as far as I’m concerned. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker 100% 👌🏼
Fantastic video. The food looks great. Underwater footage shows us another world. Thanks again for taking us with you John.
Any time Dillon. 😊👍🏻
It was so interesting to see the edible crab and her eggs - I have never seen that before. And John you are a very lucky man getting such a lovely meal. You deserve it so much. All the best to you and your family.
I just love it all. I hope that through our videos we may encourage more people to enjoy the natural world. 😊
That was a good session and loved the underwater footage the feed at the end looked delicious John thanks again for taken me with you till the next one take care
It is our pleasure Liz. Best wishes and have a lovely evening. 😊💙
Well done John some great underwater shots really clear with some nice shots of the life under the sandy bottom and between the rocks, well done Chris that first fish was a monster I see John had to show it like it was one of the monsters he gets lol; and a special thanks to Spargo for his preparation and explanation of his skills with the cooking a good video all round and to all of you stay safe stay well Manchester UK.
Thank you Bob I am glad you enjoyed it. The underwater footage of the mackerel just blew me away!! Take care mate and stay safe. 😊👍🏻
I wish I live near the water. I love snorkeling but not in cold water. Lobsters 🦞 are my favorite.
Cold waters give good fishing. 😊👍🏻
Yum! That risotto looked so good 💜
It tasted amazing. 😊
Great video as always , love England , I was stationed there from 85 to 89 , loved fishing there , learned a lot ,
Fantastic. Thank you sir. 👍🏻
That was so beautiful, the underwater shots and so entertaining, then to finish a wonderful meal, swear I could smell that risotto-so good the chef enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.
As far as sessions and cook ups go this was a very special one.
Amazing footage of the sea and I'm jealous of the Risotto
As Jim said “It’s bluddy delicious!!!”
Excellent underwater footage John!
The mackerel shoal was incredible wasn’t it!!
Some more fantastic fishing, diving and underwater filming, Jim as always turns your catches into a beautiful dishes
Jim is simply wonderful isn't he. 😊
Totally love these underwater films... just great. Please keep it up
I shall try my best.
Great video John! loved these catch and cook videos, love the foraging ones as well especially the beach cook ups!
Thank you very much. We love the beach cooking but the weathers not quite been up for it lately. 🤣
John that was an amazing video as usual. Your a great friend and teacher allowing Chris to catch all the 🐠😅. Again thank you for what you bring us. I always learn something.
Haha. He completely rinsed me didn’t he. 🤣🤣 Some days it’s just not your day. 🤷🏻♂️
Every Video i watch i think that’s the best dish… including this one
I think so too Jess, every time I eat at Jim's I think "no way can it get better than this!!!" and then it does. 💙
Another wonderful video! Especially the cooking. What an outstanding recipe.
Thank you Camille. 😊
Absolutely fantastic viewing! I love these foraging and cooking videos you upload for us all to see! Thank you John!
I am glad to hear it. I love making them. 😊
I love your videos my grandad was a fisherman in Brighton and it’s in our blood I love fishing I wish I could do it more , and you have respect for the ocean , as your doing your scallops don’t you eat the roe if it’s roe the pale orange bit , my dad always kept them anyway happy fishing
When the roe is in good condition then yes, but these scallops are spawned out so the roe was depleted and in poor quality. 👍🏻
that diving segment was incredibly cool
Thank you.
Cracking video, the bit where you were talking about great whites caught my attention as you could see something black sticking out of the sea in the background, I could imagine the jaws theme being played at that time !
That was fascinating under the water, so much life down there, and so clear.
Hope you and your family are ok.👍🐟👍
Here in the USA, where there are seals, you have to be careful of big sharks.
@@davidmiller2238 we have porbeagle sharks , rumoured to be around 10ft and around 500lb, ,not a patch on your great whites and bulls I know ,,and luckily they tend not to eat us or our seals,, yet 😉
That was definitely a great white shark!! 😳🦈
You're face when he pulled that lunker Pollack in was brilliant, it's all in good spirits. You've still got it lad .all the best thanks fot video john and friend 👍
Haha. It just shows I’m a better skipper than angler mate. 😉🤣
Fantastic video as always John, best wishes to you all too. thanks for the best fishing content on TH-cam 👍🏼.
Thank you very much Ash and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
Just what you want after a chilly day on and in the water!
I hope you enjoyed it mate. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I’d have enjoyed it more with a plateful of my own to go with the video mate!
Always a great watch especially when your stressed, totally relaxing a great video to escape the harsh realities of life. Thanks for posting.
It is our sincere hope that the videos help in some way. Be it through educating or simply by providing a positive distraction.😊
I'm new new to your channel that's why I'm commenting 3 months later. I just love your morals and how you view everything. It's so beautiful and I love the video's.
Thank you very much Vicki, and don't worry - I try my very best to respond to everyone, but with the volume of comments it often takes me a while. Right now we are all laid up with covid, so I have some free time on my hands and am working through a backlog of comments.
Beautiful footage!! Thank you for the awesome content!
It is my pleasure Ken. 😊👍🏻
I love it when you go down into the water.
The underwater videos are some of my favourites. 😊
When your chef was talking about the scallops being of a “generous size” it reminded me of a conversation I had with a Gambian friend (rip Malick) of ours about the Gambian Giant Rat (don’t ask) and when I asked how big they actually are he said “well, you know, about the size of a good meal” 😂 Best wishes from South Wales ✌🏽❣️
Much like a “Grass cutter” in Nigeria. 😉
It's literally a torture to see you cook that risotto (I'm an Italian from South East of France) and it gave me willing to cook one for new years eve.
Grazie mille 🙏
Thanks a lot for your videos.
A lot of yummy yummy 👍👍👍👍
It is tricky delicious comfort food for your soul isn’t it. 😊💙
Magnificent to see the beautiful shoal of Mackerel. Beautiful underwater footage.
Those Mackerel just blew me away. So incredible to see!!
Hello John, Thanks for a great diving video. They are my favourite.
They are some of my favourites too. 😊💙
Loved every bit of this video. Thank you for each step.
It is our pleasure, I hope that the videos help folks out. 😊👍🏻
The underwater footage is always my favourite! Great video as ever. The mackerel shoal looked amazing!
Mate that Macky shoal was just awesome to see, the underwater footage is always my favourite. 😊
Nothing like a bit of friendly competition! Great video, i never miss an episode 👍🏼
Thank you Dave. Aye a bit of friendly competition is never a bad thing. 🤣
Your under water footage always amazes me well done John 👍
I couldn’t believe the mackerel shoals!! 💙🐟
This is an absolutely beautiful video, John.
Thank you Jonathan. 👍🏻🎣
Agreed John! Well done!
😉👍🏻
Great education learning about pregnant crabs, also demostrated great practice of leaving them alone so theres more crab to forage in the future 👏Another top video
It is my pleasure John, I hope that our videos encourage others to behave as we do with focus on sustainability. 😊
One of the best, cracking underwater shots, the water is so clear, unlike here in the Wash. Very sporting of you letting your friend catch all those fish, he's not as good as you though because he couldn't get a dogfish!
Jim at his best, that meal looked fantastic. It's obvious that you don't pay for your lobsters because you leave so much behind. The body and leg meat for example.
Keep them coming.
The body paste inside the head is mostly internal organs. And it has been scientifically proven that any harmful bacteria or chemicals ingested by the lobster will be concentrated in the internal organs.
@@TheFishLocker They serve the body meat in restaurants though and personally I always eat the leg meat. You can squeeze it out just like toothpaste. Thanks for your reply.
@@tonycamplin8607 yeah I won’t argue about the leg meat as it’s perfectly edible. But the “mustard” we won’t eat.
brilliant fishing and very good cooking lesson many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Victoria. 😊
Just more amazing stuff John, from the fishing banter to the underwater dive and the lovely cook-up! I love cooking risotto so I may have to give this a try next time I get hold of a fresh lobster!
The underwater footage of the mackerel. I was blown away!!
@@TheFishLocker Its always a special moment when you get to come across something like that :)
Made my night. Great fishing (for some) and great cooking.
Haha. Cheers Rob. 👍🏻
