Coastal Foraging - Rock Pooling for Crabs, Cockles, Prawns, Seaweeds and Shellfish | The Fish Locker

I have always loved foraging and rockpooling. Most of my childhood was spent on the shore in rock pools and on the beach. A lovely break in the weather meant Fishlocker Jnr and I were able to get out on the rocks to forage. Crabs, Shrimps, Limpets, Winkles, Anenomes, fish and countless types of seaweed many of which are not only edible but delicious!!!

This is the first time I have ever seen a youtuber handle animals so professionally! Keep doing what you love! :D

I love your foraging videos very much. They are so calm, no music added. Highly appreciate this. Thank you!

I was born and raised in a small community on a beach in North Florida. I was a bit of a tomboy and while the other little girls were playing Barbi, I could spend hours peering into ditches, watching the tadpoles and tiny fish living in their world. I loved playing with the hundreds of fiddler crabs near the house and of course all the sealife on the beach. I remember these big spiders that were all over the yard in huge webs. I would reach in and pull them right out and I learned they couldn't walk on the ground. How these videos brings back memories of happy times. Our beaches were very clean, other than shells so I'm seeing these wonderful tidepools for the first time. How fascinating! You are a wonderful example to your son.

Thanks again for taking us along. Really enjoy these foraging videos. Nothing beats the natural world. My wife and I used to mushroom hunt together.... some of my most cherished memories.

I absolutely adore how much respect you have for coastal life . I watch a few other coastal foraging channels and the men are rough with the sea life that they catch so thank you I’m sure all those creatures appreciate it . ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Enchanting video! I remember rock pooling with my daughter when she was your little boys age and for many years after, she's 25 now. These precious times together are what they remember most . 🐚🐟🐙

I want to thank you. First of all for all of the respect and love you have for the animals and their environment. Secondly, for these amazing videos, I was studying marine biologist but life happened and I am diabled now. I have not been able to do any proper rock pooling or tide pool exploration in 20 years. I absolutely adore all that you do and appreciate you for sharing. I feel like Im living vicariously through these videos.

[sonia_nya]

When my dad was still alive we would go to the beach every year and catch crabs in the bay together. I really love seeing you doing this with your family and I hope you guys continue for years to come! Memories to cherish ♥

I grew up by the coast and ate lots of shellfish, but only bought from the store. I've never seen them in the wild, these videos are so cool! Thanks for taking us on your walks. As an ecologist I appreciate the scientific names too and life history trivia you offer!

[hooked-gsy]

Another very interesting video, thanks for putting the time into making them John and little James...👍🏻

Bonus Video! You consistently amaze me with your clean videos and knowledge of the seashore. James is very lucky to have you as a dad. The water is so clear I feel I'm turning the rocks over with you. I'm not selling this but for the less well informed there is a Gem Pocket Guide to the Seashore that cost £1.00 that helps identify just about everything, well worth seeking out to carry with you. Delighted this week, my wife is letting me book a 5 day fishing break in Eastbourne so I can at least try and catch a fish (it will be only my second time out).
