  • Coastal foraging and beach combing after unsettled weather is always very productive. Here we show you how to collect several types of clams, cockles, mussels and edible seaweeds. Then we find a sheltered spot to cook it up and enjoy a nice rustic meal. I hope you enjoy it.

    I've watched a few of your videos and they're really interesting content. The first thing I appreciate is your knowledge and attitude. It's almost like being out on the beach with you, you are a patient and informative teacher. The second is your parenting; you seem like a great father. very patient, polite, and caring with your boy. In another video where you found that lobster under the rock really exemplified it. It wasn't all "be careful, don't do this, don't do that, sit down, shut up, eat this", you don't force him to eat it, and you aren't forcing the skills on him, but just being around you while you do it will have the best impression on him. Once he's older and gets a taste for the seafood, it will be useful to have another pair of keen eyes and hands! best wishes to you and your family.

    Yet another great video, like these as much as the fishing videos. I like the cooking, food cooked simply better than most restaurants (apart from Indian) where you retain natural flavour with limited enhancement. Lemon, Lime, garlic and a pinch of salt are always enough. There is a beach in West Looe where when I lived in Cornwall you could spend all low tide collecting shells, netting prawns etc. Went back to Looe recently now complete tourist trap would never want live there now.
