Coastal Foraging - Mussel, Clam and Crab - Clean and Delicious Cookup Autumn 2021
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ต.ค. 2021
- Coastal Foraging on the low tide line for delicious edibles is one of our favourite things to do. Exploring rock pools and searching for Crabs, Clams and other sea life is not only fascinating but is a great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. Then after collecting what we needed for a meal we clean them on the shore. Then go for a delicious family cook up. 😊

Hi The Fish Locker. This looks delicious 😍😋😋. Watch how I did the quote of Oliver Twist.
Please sir, may I have some more 🤣😂
Where aboots are you from the NE mate?
Why shouldn't you pick all the muscles in one cluster? You never explained why we shouldn't do that.
@@samsammsammm1547 it’s simply a sustainability thing it helps them keep producing
Where is Spar
go's Kitchen John, Ive tried finding it on the web.. But no luck
Your respect for nature is admirable. You are a true sportsman. Thank you.
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it ♥️
Just curious... How many years have you been doing this? You are extremely knowledgeable on so much.
@@lukasleibrecht7054 lol 😂🤣😂 I get the pun
Perhaps it is a strange thing, but I love the sound of the mussels being stirred while being cooked! Something about the shells clanking together - so satisfying. ❤
Yes!
It makes my tummy rumble and wish it was there for sure 👍
I enjoy the clack and rattle of them banging together in the pan. 😊
You are not alone 🤗
Rachel your not the only one. I love the sound as well. It’s so comforting and home cooking feel🙂
I love your coastal foraging videos. And a visit to Jim for a lovely meal is even a treat for those of us who don't get a bite. Love the "Cooking in socks." comment. He's a real gem!
Thank you Barbara. I am glad you enjoyed joining us 😌😌
@@TheFishLocker Mmmm looks so good. We don’t have much here in NZ sadly lol 😂
I would die if my daughter and I could forage and experience the amazing life you have. You are a true and genuine human and we love you.
I am so glad that you are enjoying joining us on our shoreline adventures. We love them. 😊💙
Good Nz morning John. Actually I found this episode frustrating. I saw all this amazing seafood being prepared, but couldn't taste it. But seriously, yet again, you've delivered another great video. Thank you. And thanks to Jim for his expertise. Take care mate.
As always Bryan, it is our pleasure. 😊
YESSSSS!!! The coastal foraging videos are the best! Best wishes to you and your fam!
Thank you very much. I am glad that you like them. 😊
Concur. I'm learning so much about the Cornish coast watching John's foraging videos and I'm really having to lean on the family to redirect our next trip to that area when the COVID grip finally eases. Stay safe and healthy John.
I love it when the chef is in control for cooking for everyone , another great show,..... watching from Powell Tennessee, USA.......Marc
Thank you and have a wondeful day. 😊
Thankyou!! And I do all the dishes
Perfect Sunday viewing 👌
Absolutely 👌🏻
Thank you for raising my spirits. Been rather low with two bereavements close together - needed that breath of fresh air and the wonderful scenery to make me smile. xxx
I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I am glad we can provide some relief. Take care and stay safe 👍🏻
Thanks for being a family happy place.
It is our pleasure. I want our content to be appropriate for all the family. 😊
the last part of the video is my favourite, cause FOOD!
Haha. 🍽
Said it before but I’ll say it again! Thank you for the education, nature conservation, and for the family gathering videos!
You’re welcome. We love sharing what we do with you all 👍🏻👍🏻
John and family - I just discovered your channel a few days ago and absolutely love it.
The exploring, identifying various species of - everything!
Then, inviting us to a home meal or beach cook-out just completes it.
Thank you from the US for all you share. Please don't stop!!
You summed up perfectly... This is some wonderful content
Thank you very much and welcome. It is our pleasure to share our adventures and cook ups with you. Take care and have a wondeful day. 😊
Thank you, I’ll keep on cooking and sharing, I promise!!
@@jamesspargo7821 We need a "Spargo's Kitchen" in the US!!!! Please keep sharing!
@@TheFishLocker You too! And again, thank you.
I was introduced to this channel by someone who I met while I was fishing for the first time a few days back, haven’t stopped watching since. So warming and informative! Loving it
I hope the videos are helpful to you Toby. Best wishes and welcome to the channel. 👍🏻🎣
I like how you know the names of every thing you show us. I hope to see more of these videos. I've already watched the others. 🙂
It doesn’t happen every time but I do still find things that I don’t know. Every day is a school day. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I am also impressed with your knowledge.
Foraging and feasting, my favourite, what a lovely day 💜
Glad you could join us Naomi 😊
Another really nice vid. Jim is such a personable guy; if he had a restaurant, I'd certainly patronize it.😊😊
Jim is just wonderful isn’t he. 💙
@@TheFishLocker Why shouldn't you pick all the muscles in one cluster? You never explained why we shouldn't do that.
@@samsammsammm1547 Good question. Perhaps my experience as a commercial lobsterman and an operator of an urchin diving boat can lend some insight. As many creatures are, mussels are an intertidal niche colonizing species and they are competing with other colonizing species including fauna. I don't believe it was was a coincidence mussels did not live in any significant way, where John pointed out limpets, who extract water column nutrients at that location as mussels would. I suspect there are perhaps unknown mechanisms of species "boundary making" and probable proximal fertility at work. we don't understand or are not well informed about this. but the 'rules of thumb' of historically sustainable systems work... Below the threshold of over exploitation, a self sustaining colony of an undesirable or 'invasive' species or can "take hold"... (why I have some disagreement on the wholesale releasing of conger eels who compete with lingcod for this reason...) In my experience, our lobsters are doing fine because basic 'best practices' over the long term, that ensure their continuation; in their environ. This did not happen here with our 'green urchins' where the resource was, in wholesale, extirpated from their niches. and can not regain a "foothold" because of occupying species' defenses and competitiveness, despite our projects of "repopulation".
@@hubrisnaut - That is a very eloquent answer. Thank you. Such examples of different species filling the void are visible in the Murray Forth in Scotland. Herring overfished and Sprats replaced the void.
@@hubrisnaut thanks so much for our comprehensive and insightful explanation!
Havent seen this lovely family in awhile- had university and midterm stuff!! Glad to see you all are doing well 🤗
Welcome back Britney, I hope your studies went well? Glad to have you back with us and hope you enjoy the videos you’ve missed. 😊💙
I am a simple man. I see a new Coastal Foraging video from The Fish Locker and I hit the thumbs up.
You are my type of guy. 😉👍🏻
You stir some great memories from living in Falmouth and Penryn as a boy.
How lucky we were to live in such a beautiful and bountiful place. It warms my heart to see the lifestyle is still on going.
You can take the man out of Cornwall but you cannot take Cornwall out of the man.
Love your work👌
I am glad that you are enjoying sharing your time with us. 😊💙
Nothing I love more than waking up on a Monday and binge watching these 😩🥰
The perfect solution to Monday blues!
Good to see the family again John and thank you once again Jim! Less is More! Absolutely L U S H!! (Thanks John ;-) )
Glad you could join us Mike. 👍🏻
Double layered .
Always a good video when its a sniff round followed by a cookup . Thank you to all involved .
I’m glad you enjoyed joining us. 😊
You are an island of calm in a turbulent world. God bless you
We are simply sharing a little of what we love in the hope that it helps. 😊💙
Your knowledge is clear, thank you for showing us how to forage responsibly and with respect ❤❤ ive only been in the ocean twice on one trip, I will never forget it ❤
We love the ocean, I am glad that you are enjoying our videos. Have a wonderful day. 😊
Lived on the Northumberland coast all my life and forage for shell fish mainley winkles not been for years in my 60s now watching the show Ive learned something thank you
We used to collect sacks of winkles when we were kids. 😊👍🏻
Lovely to see you and the family out again, many thanks for the video everyone take care.
It is our pleasure Keith, best wishes to you and take care. 😊
James has a very cool dad. His mom is awesome too. Thanks for sharing your world. Hey James!!!
Thank you very much Cindy. 😊💙
Your enthusiasm and wonder is infectious.
We are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊💙
What a wonderful day thanks guys and girls and also thanks the the chief for the insight of cooking shell fish.
Our pleasure Doug. 😊
As always a very interesting video, finishing with Jim’s kitchen made it really special. That meal looked so yummy.
Good morning/afternoon, absolutely amazing how beautiful the views are. Glad the see the family out and about again foraging with you. James is growing so fast, you will enjoy looking back watching him grow up on your videos.
Wishing you and the family all the best.
Monus
Thank you very much. 😊💙
Hordes of Italians are mourning the absence of fresh pasta from those gorgeous dishes..
I doubt it. It’s not like the Italians to get upset about something is it. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Italians inflamed by passion about food, no, you’re right - an unlikely scenario
Thank you all. It looks yum yum.thanks Chef Jim again for sharing your wonderful cooking skills.Fishlocker and family for sharing your skills of gathering from the sea. Missed seeing James.
James was at school. Jim is wonderful isn’t he.
Never commented upon this video before despite watching it numerous times for ideas. The coastal foraging for muscles in particular interested me. Recently ventured to the coast and whilst down there took it upon myself to forage for some muscles. Sadly, didn't have as much luck as yourself there. The muscles were small. Couldn't bring myself to kill a crab which I caught and later released - biggest crab I've seen in person too. Fish, muscles and clams are probably all I'm able to catch and eat. Thanks for sharing.
You have to look at the positives of a visit to the shore. You enjoyed yourself, got exercise and fresh air and hopefully learned a little along the way. 😊
it's amazing the gifts that God blessed us with,you can survive by the fruit of nature.
All it takes is a little knowledge and an understanding of the natural world. 😊💙
I sincerly love your videos, especially when you include family and friends on your little adventures. Furthermore, shoutout to the chef, he was very enjoyable to watch cook and explain his process. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Jim is simply wonderful isn't he. 😊
Always lovely to see this!
Thank you. 😊
I've come to love watching your family cook and eat, just as much as I like the ocean and sea life. I live in the desert and this is a dream world ❤️❤️
I am glad that you enjoy joining us. 😊👍🏻
Great video- rock pooling and spargos kitchen! 😃
Thank you Katie. 😊
Thumbs Up John.... Del..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice to see you enjoying some great foraging weather. Once again Jim serves up some wonderful tasty dishes, your so lucky to have such a cracking cook. Well done, lovely video & thanks for sharing.
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊
I’m blushing!! Regards Jim
Bang on mate!!!! I love mussels they have to be 1 of my all time favourite meals with a glass of wine to wash it down!!!! Great stuff mate as always thanks for all your hard work! Take care tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
My pleasure mate. 😊
Love to go foraging with you John. Thank you for sharing with me. Everything looked so delicious Jim😋👍 I enjoy watching you prepare everything in the kitchen. Take care, my Fish Locker Family.❤💋
Thank you Cecelia and have a wonderful day. 😊👍🏻
Looks great, love seeing mussels because they are everywhere and in most places there’s so many. Great looking recipe
Mussels are so underrated 😊
The ocean is my happy place. And you teach me so much. Thank you
It was a beautiful day. Thank you for watching 👍🏻😊
For you john!! I have subscribed finally after checking out your other videos. Their so calming and peaceful. I get back headaches that are bad for my health, and i have taken into watching your videos for a bit of peace, and it has been helping. You are amazing and so careing towards the animals! You only take what you needs and you leave enough for them to respawn comfortably. You dont take the babies, and you dont take the ones with eggs. Thank you!! I kook forward to viewing more!!
Thank you and welcome to our channel. I am glad that you share our passion for sustainable foraging and I am pleased that the videos can bring you some peace. 😊
Nice to see your daughter this time. What a great family day!
We manage to drag her along every now and again!
You had me salivating here watching that. Once again another excellent Fish locker episode.
Thank you Richard and have a great week. 😊👍🏻
Thanks for another great video John! Wishing you a nice Sunday night and a great week!
Thank you and best wishes. 😊👍🏻
Thanks John for another wonderful video and a huge thank you to Spargo’s kitchen for some great recipes with the mussels.
I could almost taste them with you,. Take care and be save. All the best Graham🦀🦐👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you Graham and take care. 😊
If I am there, I would go straight for the seashells! What a Heaven of seashells!!!!
We have some wonderful shells from our times on the shore. 💙🐚
I have been well and truly educated ,and the smell from the spargo kitchen must be heavenly,thanks to all from Norfolk 🍽🦀🎣🦦👍
Glad you have enjoyed the video John. 😊
Something just great watching your videos and seeing what you can find for food by just walking the coast...my wife and I love your videos!
Thank you very much. I wish you and your wife a very happy day. 😊
Nice t see the locker ladies keeping an eye n the old man,so he doesn't wander off and get lost.great fun and educational video john.love watching him ciik as he explains each and every detail so well .thank you for this john. take care all of you and tire lines as always.
I do have a habit of walking off. 🤣
Glad to see the chef still rocking the socks 🧦. Amazing looking food as usual 🍽
That’s the type of cool you cannot teach. 😉
I have literally watched and rewatched a whole bunch of your foraging videos with you alone or with your family, James is such a cute kid, as well as you fishing on the boat & I won't ever forget the pair of enormous lobsters you caught in the crab pot, how humane to mark them & release them!
I am very happy to hear you are enjoying the content Tracy. Best wishes and have a lovely day. 😊
I think my favorite videos are your coastal foraging videos! Thanks John 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching 👍🏻
Another great video. full of information. il be doing more foraging and sea fishing this year. keep up the good work
Thank you and good luck. 😊👍🏻
That looked such a lovely and satisfying meal, all the best for being collected from the shoreline. Thank you
It is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Always in for Jim's cook ups. Love these videos. My mum is exactly the same with the fryer at her house. It lives in the garage!
Haha.
I definitely need to make that sauce with the leeks. That looked amazing. Talk about having great friends. You pick and Jim cook's
It’s even better than that, Jim is my father in law. 😊💙
Always love the videos with your father in law what a talented person
Jim is simply wonderful isn't he. 💙
Great video and the food looked delicious! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. 😊
Wholesome stuff...... Now I want mussles again
They are delicious. 😊
More cookups with him! The cookup videos after the forage for fishing day all around are my favorite!
We love them too. 😊
My favourite bit too!!
Enjoy watching your video. Informative 👍🏼.
Thank you. 👍🏻
I love your videos. Someday I hope to forage on the beach myself and cook outside on the beach. But I also really appreciate that you are showing cooking in a kitchen, where you make tasty food that I can cook myself at home (until I can forage on my own).
That is it, not everyone can cook on the beach. But practically everyone has access to a kitchen. 😉
I'm drooling ! Enjoy !!
We definitely did 😊😊
Lovely, as always. Thank you all, so much. 😊
Our pleasure Matt. 😊
That water is just stunning!!!
It was a beautiful day 😊👍🏻
I always remember fishing in the harbour at whitby and Scarborough when I was a kid, the tackle shop used to sell tubs of mussels in mirky grey water, they looked and smelled absolutely revolting and I would never wanna try eating them after that.
Haha. I remember them to. Great for catching Pennocks.
Now those are some proper thick cut chips, that's how to properly treat a potato! Looks delicious, that second mussel dish really made my mouth water
Good thing it's lunch time here as my tummy is complaining after seeing that and not getting to eat it, might head down to the local chippy...
Hope you enjoyed your chips!
I love watching your vids.. and you know so much about the sea in your area. Great job..
Thank you Jim I am glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😁
Man, those mussels and sauce look so good. Got my mouth watering!
Haha. They get me hungry every time I come back and answer comments on them.
This is so amazing! And the finished dishes at the end look phenomenal 😍
I am glad that you enjoyed the video Xavier. 😊
Your videos are the only catch and cook videos I watch and I’m not sure why! Maybe it’s how calming your voice is or maybe even the fact that you teach us what things are while doing it but I LOVE it!! Keep doing what you’re doing
Thank you very much. That is very high praise. I have learned a lot from Jim simply by making these videos. 😊🐟
Always enjoy your foraging videos. Thanks for sharing. Oh, both recipes looked yummy!
They were so yummy! Thank you for watching!
Top video as always John,I thought I was watching the BLUE PLANET, you are the Man all right ✅ .Always informative, knowledge second to non,..apart from your wife🤣🤣🤣.great stuff John and family. Kind regards Mike. Norfolk.
Haha. Cheers Mike, take it easy mate. 👍🏻
Hi The Fish Locker this gotta be delicious 🤤😋. Yummy
😊👍🏻
Hey John, THANKS for posting this.
I enjoy all your posts...BUT...your "family" coastal foraging & cook-up videos are my favorite.
Best regards,
Ben
No problem, I am glad that you enjoyed joining us on the shore. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker MUCHAS GRACIAS for your thoughtful reply.
I just returned to my home in Yucatan, Mexico...from 2 weeks at the beach.
Unfortunately, there's no foraging to be done there. But we did spend time fishing, hand-catching lobsters & conch...GREAT night-time beach cook-ups with my mates & their families.
I thought about you & your family; knowing you all would have LOVED-IT!!!!
All the best,
Ben
I just saw one of your videos a day ago, and I already just love you and your family, you guys make my day, teach me, and make me want to do that into the future. Honestly i just see the food, get soooooooo hungry, so don't stop making these joy-filled videos!!! Love and support all the way!! Thank you!!
Thank you and have a great day. 😊
I'm jealous of the weather. We don't really have spring and autumn here. It was 4°c this morning. Bloody hot summers, 2 weeks of autumn, then bloody cold winter. Same pattern in the spring. Also, we recently bought 2 brown crabs. I'm not even going to say how much they were.... very nice, though. Ridiculous amount of roe!!!!! Yum.
That’s ok if you don’t like autumn and spring I guess. 😉🤷🏻♂️ Take care my friend and stay safe. 😊
Sounds like England to be fair! Although i feel like we are getting less and less of a summer and winter these days! Feels like autumn and spring all year with the occasional flurry of snow in the winter and the odd hot days throughout summer lol
Another fantastic video and as always educational
Glad you enjoyed it Debra, I hope you had a good weekend and take care. 😊
moules marinier ,, an absolutely fantastic dish , ive done this from scratch ,,its yummy
It really is 👍🏻♥️
Great foraging video mate good education for the likes of me I'm a beginner and I love doing it fishing and foraging great video
I am glad you enjoyed the video Jason. 😊
Great time and amazing food. Looks delicious.
It really was delicious 😊
So glad for Sunday John. Loved the cook and will be joining Spargos channel asa segmant is over! 🍻
Jim has his own playlist on here. That is all he wants. 😊
Looks super delicious ,well done !!
Thank you. It was amazing!
I'd just love listening to your accent an enjoy your content. It just reminds me that there's a bigger world outside of So.Cal!
That is a wonderful way to give context. Yes, there is a whole lot of world out there. 😊
This is just so relaxing. It makes me feel like im apart of it.
That is exactly what I hoped it would feel like. 😊
Excellent video John you are spoilt with all that beautiful food stay safe family 😁🍀
I consider myself very lucky in many ways. 😊
I was watching this in a public place with headphones in and realised I said something that sounds like "duck yeah" out loud as the sauce was poured on the mussels. A tad embarrassing. 🤣🤤😍
Hahaha. 🤣🤣
Jim needs to make a channel for Spargo's Kitchen!! I would absolutely watch him cooking 💖
I have asked him and he says he is happy just having a playlist. 😊
I love u teaching all of us to respect nature ... i think it has a huge impact ... good work mate..
I am simply doing what I feel is right. 😊
Everything looks delicious, enjoy your meal.
It was all absolutely incredible 👍🏻😊
I am thoroughly enjoying binge-watching your videos!
I am glad to hear it. 😊👍🏻
I always feel relax watching your video after days of studies and works , just love to hear the beach sound and see so many interesting sea creatures✨ .Lovely video as always 👍💛
I am glad that we can help to bring you some peace. Take care and good luck with your studies. 😊
Thanks so much. Best wishes John to you and your family. 🙂
Thank you very much. 😊
