Coastal Foraging and Rockpooling - Lobsters, Crabs and Sea Creatures with cookup | The Fish Locker 

Mate, if every kid had a father like you, the world would be fantastic. Cool vid 👍

So wonderful to see a father and son spending quality time together and seeing how sharp James is when it comes to recognizing different sea creatures. Such a relaxing and informative video!

I must say, your very best dad joke is when you tell a lobster he’s got an invite to dinner. It’ll never get old!

I really love these foraging videos. You're an excellent educator and it's a blast to see James join in the learning!

Your sons knowledge will be second to none in years to come. Its so nice seeing a farther and son genuinely having a passion they both enjoy doing together. Fair play to you dad and James 👍👍🐙🐚🐙

James is a very lucky boy getting to go on all these adventures! My Dad used to let me have little fires too when I was around the same age, it’s an excellent idea teaching them to respect it. Fantastic video as always 💙

The highlight of my week John. Seeing you and young James enjoying time together, what a treasure. You are also an absolute mine of information. A feast on the beach! ❤

Underrated channel. The knowledge, information, wholesomeness, and production quality are unmatched. Bravo.

You my friend have a very special gift, your son will grow up with a vast knowledge of the sea, and he will never go hungry.. Great video

It's great to see little James becoming a tiny person and making his own observations he also is starting to look more and more like you

Love the fact the little man can take over the commentary with all his shoreline knowledge. He is so clued in and these are great memories for life ☺️👏🏼

Good to see you both Don't become more sick. You've kept me company. I'm in hospital after 2 strokes. Thanks for your videos.

What a cool place to explore. Thanks for sharing it with us

James is learning but you look out for him! You keep him safe. I wish more kids had a Dad like you!

Awww man I was just watching an old video where James had his first try of a lobster and now he's eating his own share! He grows up so fast 😃

Watching this sent me back. I’m glad I recorded my kids when they were young. So wholesome.

We taught our 3 boys at a young age how to make a fire out in the wilderness. It shows them how to be responsible and how to respect fire. I think you're doing a great job raising James!!

I love the fire safety lessons, I think it is so important to let children do dangerous things carefully, i.e. supervising him and teaching him how to handle unsafe things in the safest ways.

James is such a charming child. ❤What a lovely video of father and son.

James has gone from his sandwich pack to eating lobster….👌💯❤️…….great work john

I enjoy the foraging videos the most. I learn so much new information from you. James is growing up fast and what a great partner for foraging.

In a crappy world, you bring joy (and a lot of wisdom). Loved watching this. Thanks. 🦞👍

James: "Is that true"...... he's getting much wiser and not to be fooled!! :)

Whole video was worth it for the star wars reference at the end 😂

Love the foraging videos. Very educational. There's nothing wrong with camp fires, as long as properly supervised children can learn and have a joyful experience at the same time. 👍

I love the foraging videos especially with James as he is so keen to learn but also so knowledgeable about many bits already. I love that your teaching him about fire starting and management as well as safety because so many kids aren't and just build fires and they get out of control

Team golden marshmallows for the win! I love seeing you teach James about the world, and the gentle guidance and instruction and these walks are sure to be memories he'll cherish for his whole life.

I always love trying to spy what's hidden under the rocks! That little lobster with eggs was especially cool.

Fancy breaking up a happy family , n then messing with the poor blokes ballsack 🤣🤣🤣. Na enjoy your lobster lunch John . Brilliant informative video again , as per usual. 👍

I love how you are so respectful of the creatures living there... you catch what you need and appreciate the rest. That is how it should be. If all human beings respected life the way that you do, I am convinced this world would be a much better place. This is what I used to love doing at the Jersey shore, here in NJ. It was endlessly fascinating seeing all the amazing marine life living in the tide pools.

The little one is growing like a weed! You're doing a great job as a father. Always giving him a choice to try new things and overcome his fears. A lesson in coastal foraging and parenting :D

These videos are just as much fun to watch as when you're actually fishing. James is a little star. You two are like peas in a pod. He is a "mini me" of you, John.

James is getting so big! I’ve been home sick binging your videos for relaxation. Thanks for the great work as always.

I remember when he wouldn't eat the scallops or lobster. You have done such a good job with James to finally try to eat them.

I love your "Take 5" idea. Brilliant

This may be my favorite so far, love and appreciate you sharing the interactions you have with your Kiddo.. who has great movie taste as Star Wars rules! It is also so great that you always bring your lovely wife home a claw whenever you do a cook up without her. Makes my heart happy ❤❤

Pat on the back for the all the education today lad. 👏. You deserve the cook up on Mr. LOBSTER this time. Taught him right for clacking and bragging

James you and your daddy make a great team.John you are probably the best teacher James will ever have.All the best to you and your lovely family.

What a treasure James is. You and your family make my families day. We love these videos. It is as experiencing for ourselves. Your family would always be welcome in my home with my family and the USA. ❤

I love James filming! It reminds me of when I used to make videos as a kid!

Said it before and I'll say it again, brilliant.

Can't get any better than this. 🇺🇸

Nice star wars reference! I hope youtube is still around in 20 or 30 years. It'll be great for your son to look back over these videos.

Don't be concerned about what others say. You treat your son with love and respect. Good job, you.

So wonderful to see a young guy like James being taught, praised, encouraged and mostly loved! Hopefully the days of 'Spare the rod, spoil the child' are going! So different to being a child in the 50's and lovely to see! Good effort all round! Go James!

Your son has a wonderful childhood keep teaching him .he will have good memories when he is older

Well, Im a little late to the show, but I do enjoy you two very much. You have a charming boy and I just love him and hope you continue to work and play together. James is so bright. Its so fun to watch you together. God bless.

Lovely to see you again James! You are such a bright and intelligent lad. Thank you for another educational and relaxing video.

Tell James he is a little legend and it so heartwarming to see dad and son get on so well

Marvelous! Father's everywhere should take a lesson!

I'm jealous of your kid. You are a good dad.

Nothing better than father and son time and lovely lobster to end the day. Nice one 😊

How nice it is to see someone actually exploring the outdoors with family and teaching them about it too! Awesome finds as always

I love how James spotted the "little" blue sky.... LOL

Enjoyable walk around the coastline & yes I giggled as much as James. Very childish but that lads growing up bless him. Thanks John for the cook up.😅👍

James will remember these expeditions for the rest of his life - and he will have the videos to remind him. Lucky boy.

Father and son time.❤️ As always, a brilliant video John.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James is a credit to you and Hannah.👏👏 Thank you for allowing me to share another very informative adventure.😲😃 Take care and stay safe all.😷🙊 Hope the throat is ok soon.🤞

Some tea with honey and lemon and whisky for you....your son is getting so big and handsome...he reminds me of my granddaughter in his speech and actions lol

My first comment didn't post so I will try again I think you did something VERY IMPORTANT in this video and that was to teach instead of preach, about not doing something. So many people are quick to say to children DON'T instead of teaching about what it is, how to respect it and use it properly and the reasons it could be dangerous if not used properly. Today it was you teaching James about fire and I love it. Your method can be used for many things people (mostly parents and teachers) preach don't too. Weather it is gun safety and proper use, motorized vehicles, fireworks and other things that go boom, hunting, fishing, foraging and use of non-populated areas (woods/water/rolling plains/mountains/...) and the respect those areas should be shown when visiting them. To often people (mostly those with little or no knowledge of the things in question) tend to tell children DON'T touch or do that instead of explaining why and in appropriate settings letting them experience some of those things, to certain levels. Obviously discretion would need to be used in some circumstances but your never to young to start learning and in most cases experience is the best teacher.

It must be great catching lobsters from the shore like this, and cooking them straight away. When I think what I've paid in restaurants for lobster, a fortune, and seeing you regularly munching them for nothing, it makes me envious! Great content as usual.

Awesome James with the star wars reference. Especially with toasted marshmallows. The marshmallows look like Anakin when they were done lol 🤣😆🤣😆

Nothing better than fish locker n fresh lobster. Lucky you great stuff

I got taught how to build fires in the Cubs when I was young, no harm at all. Never went off and burnt down houses or caused issues. You learn to respect and how to build, control and remove the fire when done. I think it's an essential skill that is getting lost and the PC brigade are stripping these skills from the young. So good to see you pass on as many skills as possible to the young one, IMHO it's the best thing for a Farther to do. Good on you. Also I think it's important to teach them where food comes from and to respect the animals and take only whats needed and to allow the next generation to thrive so you can continue a sustainable way of life.I think this is a fantastic channel, keep it up!

Lovely video John and son fantastic🥰

There is something satisfying about watching a father and son engaging in an activity that humans have practiced uninterrupted for thousands of years.

Fire tenderer, amazing cameraman AND quotes Star Wars?!? What a brilliant young man James is becoming. 😊

Other great video john the young boys going 2 know just as much as you do wen he's older it's great 2 see keep up the good work mate 👍

Nice to see you back at it again with James and you have WADERS on

I absolutely LOVE the Star Wars reference from James 😂 well done James, thanks for the laugh budd 😂😂😂

Thanks mate. Compulsive Sunday night viewing. 👍

Amazing! So many different sea creatures to be found where most fishmermen just walk straight over :D

Good to c u both out glad u enjoyed the boat show take care cheers Debbie Aberdeen Scotland uk

I think teaching your son fire safety and how to stack wood for effective campfires is great-you'd learn it in scouts, anyways. It's good for survival training in case he's out alone or hiking in the woods. It's best to stay in one place and wait for rescue if you get lost and knowing he can start a small campfire and keep warm in that situation is a nice bit of insurance and peace of mind. Plus, like you said, you can teach him and he's completely supervised so it's a safe environment. It's nice to learn about the ocean life of Cornwall alongside him, too! (I'm from New England in the USA- we have some different and some same or similar here. It's especially different in the Long Island Sound area VS the Atlantic. The currents are very different so the shore types, wave size, and some of the sea life are all different and there are different protections on shellfish. Also in Maine lobsters blue is a rare coloration as are white ones and yellowy ones. Our guys are mostly deep red.)

I can only echo the comments John. Absolutely magic. X

Absolutely get James involved with the fires - start them young & safe! My kids are learning safe knife use and fires in the woods.

"Is that true?" Classic!!!!

Glad to see James eating lobster.Big change, last years he wouldn't hv it. Well done both of u👍

I love the innocence of James laughing talking about lobster balls!!!😂😂😂takes me back to when I giggled whenever someone said the word”Sex”

I love your videos and your little family! If it's this intresting watching a video, I bet it's even more fun in person! Your boy is so smart and he gets to learn so much! This is the type of adventures I want to go on and I wish I was your kid 😂.

My goodness...that male lobster. Thanks for the video.!

What an amazing day. Young James is very lucky to have these times with you. The best way yo learn.

Such a lovely video John with the best boy along with you. His knowledge is growing rapidly. These experiences with you are awesome. So proud of the young man he is becoming as you must be. Lots of love to you and the fish locker family

Days like that, are priceless 😎

Looks like James has deffo developed a taste for seafood now. Little by little tried bits here and her and now he's eating big chunks of Lobster. Well done lad. :)

I enjoyed another adventure.

32:35 John, I just had to pause this a while to comment. Not only is this a fantastic video showing the wealth of hidden life which exists under our feet around our coastline, made more awesome by your depth of knowledge and excellent commentary, you also show us, and most importantly James, the true meaning and example of good parenting skills. You continually ask him his opinion instead ‘telling him’, you give him the chance to see, feel and experience the wonders of nature, ensuring he will learn rather than asking him to remember. The effect your skills have had on James over the last three years is so clear to see, he is visibly and audibly growing in confidence every time we see him on camera, it is wonderful to behold! I am going to enjoy the rest of the video now, keep up the good work! Just a thought, but this would be a terrific video to send to the Water companies that are discharging raw sewage into our seas and to the Environment Agency to show how fragile our ecosystems are and to demonstrate the massive range of marine life threatened by their actions. Maybe, thinking ahead, you could work with a TV company and an environmental presenter to produce a video for distribution to TV networks. I’m sure the general public would find it fascinating! Have you got an agent!😉

Lobsters balls would get a giggle out of my little one too. Thanks for the videos guys.

Great day out, what a pleasure to watch, thanks guys!

hehehehe the anatomy of lobster part cracked me up. My son is 17 months and he just discovered his lol ah kids

What a great video. I had a good laugh when James quoted Star Wars 😂❤

Fantastic video - love seeing your quality time with James. And I entirely agree about James' fire - important that young people learn such skills in a safe and supervised environment.

Hello to you and James, he has grown up so much. And it is wonderful how you are teaching him the rights from wrong on how to collect sea food. And also how to care for the environment.❤️💯👍

Well that's me all caught up. Lovely stuff x

Fabulous content and commentary as usual John. Really impressed with how young James is doing - the knowledge and understanding he has already is exemplary and there is only one reason for that - I know you are very proud, and rightly so.

James is such a lovely little boy, I'm expecting a boy in June and I hope he is just as sweet and intelligent as james is

Absolutely fantastic, what a great way to bring up our future generation, all glory to you. thanks again & again...

i just found your channel and ur relationship with your son is something special! he is the cutest! God bless him, and you and the whole family

Still watching John Locker love the USA but my heart pines for Devon And Cornwall great vid man John USA

Fair play James learning the species and getting more confident

Lol! I have a 5 year old son and those conversations about naughty bits are the greatest!
