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

I don't forage and don't live near a coast, but I am obsessed with this channel. Living vicariously though TFL!

I’m so happy to see areas not destroyed by mankind. I envy your lifestyle. You sound studied and speak well. Good channel!

As a fellow conservationist fisherman and hunter, I want to say just how pleased I am to see a man who is respectful to nature that you are. I can see the care that you taken or to harm anything even the creatures you take to eat. You sir are a true sportsman. Forage on good Sir.

The Fish Locker never disappoints! Very informative and relaxing to watch.

‘Right at your feet… if you only slow down to see it ‘. Words to live by. I’m enjoying your channel more than words can express. Love your teachings to the next generation.🤟

That blue lobster was just stunning! Great to see you exploring new places as always! :)

I love that you have in-depth knowledge and humility. Fabulous combination. Rock on fella!

Many years I would work on the low tides, those Spring tides you could never miss! When the seas uncover their bounty! I would harvest but very mindful to protect future harvests. I would gathers crown Limpets after storms by the sack full, only those large ones. I would shuck them wash out the inks, Wright and bag them lay flat on boards and freeze. I became the main supplier to “AMMO” baits. Loved working the tides. Winkles, clams, oysters, trot lines. The Spring tides I would walk out across the mudflats to get the flatfish that would be in the pools, within the deep channels. Starred with Tilly lamps but over time in came headlamps, free hands! Self made mud pats..hard work but what a life! Out in nature. 💗

Love this lobster!You are so kind to the creatures💥

That Sunday evening vibe… with the fish locker

Once again. You have amazed us. My family loves these as we cannot experience these on our own. But you and your family have broadened our world. Thank you! ❤❤❤

Eh up John It's great to see the turning of the season, where before it's been blowin a hoolie and your unable to get out on the boat, yet just a few weeks later the Spring tides bring new foraging grounds to help put food on the table. That soft lobster was stunning, natures paint selection is breath-taking and you wouldn't believe old dull Britain could hold such beauty in it's depths. As always thank you for the knowledge you impart and the clear way you explain everything a non fisherman can use to bring in delicious seafood for the table. Love to the family and keep safe and spread the message around the globe X

I love your videos, It’s super cool to see people doing sustainable foraging in other places!

This man's knowledge is amazing, whether foraging or fishing. But always love the cook ups.

I’ve been addicted to your videos since I discovered your channel. You’re such a likeable, enthusiastic guy and very knowledgeable! I was curious if marine biology is what you do as a career or if it is just a hobby?

Thanks for showing the seaweed so close I've often looked and listened to you explaining the different seaweeds but haven't been able to see the difference between some of these. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🥰

Your knowledge of the sea life is second to none and your presentation was great. Thank you for sharing.

You're a marine biologist I swear haha I learned so much from you every time you ask James what is this I say it with him haha love the channel

2:46 My man partakes 😎

What an interesting trip. To see the soft lobster was fantastic, also to hear about its eating the shield and of course it does but it is so interesting to hear about. And then there is all the sea weeds, I am always so impressed that you know all the names and know so much about them. Thank you again for your wonderful videos John. All the best to you and your family.

Brilliant pal!! I'm from land locked Stafford in the Midlands and I envy anyone who understands the land that they forage.. You're the first person to show the anatomy/growth cycle of a lobster... Talk about true blue! I did wonder why some were blue and others were black in varying sizes... David Attenborough eat your heart out!! I know more about the Galapagos than my own Island!! Credit where it's due pal.. That was an amazing forage!!!

Fabulous as always, John, thanks for cheering up my morning. Hope James isn’t too sad about missing out - big high 5 to him - the Bosman 😊 from Holland. Take care, regards to Hannah and your daughter. Lots of honey and lemon to heal your throat up, John, get well soon 😊❤thanks again, Kirsty, Holland xx

The foraging videos are the best, amazing all your knowledge and the love for all the sea creatures is wonderful.

Thank you so much for teaching us about the ocean! I’m completely land locked but the ocean makes me so happy!!

Get well soon, John. Enjoyed learning and understanding how tides work. I was clueless before stumbled upon your videos. I'm grateful to learn many new things about the sea and knowledge in foraging. Also, picking 5 things each time I visit places.

Thank John for another very interesting and very informative video. I know what you mean about people just walk past such wonderful flora and fauna and are oblivious of the wondrous nature about them. Great explanation of the soft shell lobster and his hard shelled brother!! Thanks again mate! Wonderful 👍👍🦞🦞 Graham

Will be round your neck of the woods this summer! Camping near Bude but will be doing many day trips to the coast. Planning on making a video putting all you've taught me into action! For a woodland dweller like me, I love any chance I get to forage on the coast.

watching this to live vicariously through you while i cope with my drunken cravings LMAO

Excellent video. Thanks. For me this was very educational about the coastal vegetation... I never knew lobsters ate their shed shells. Thanks again

The university of Fishlocker never fails to entertain

New TFL videos never disappoint, thanks for capturing moments like these for others to enjoy.

Another great day shared, you teach us such a lot, thanks. Its really incredible how much life there's about on the sea shore isn't it? There were a few others about because you could hear them but it would be packed out come summer. You are lucky to live in such a lovely part of England.

Another amazing video John your so knowledgeable love listening and learning about new things and seeing things I've never seen before thanks so much

These videos make me realise just how much I love Cornwall

Once again another lesson of class from John 👌💯❤️

Oh my gooosh I watched this channel years ago and then miraculously remembered it! Maybe it's an odd thing to be nostalgic about, but I miss these videos

I am glad I’m not the only one who gets water in their wellies most of the time.

Nice one John, every rock has its own story to tell.

Not surprised but delighted. So much to learn and wonder. Many thanks.

Anyone else get hungry watching this channel? 😊

Once again brilliant mate 👌 thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Your knowledge is amazing John. So pleased you caught a lobster.

Thank you John, that takes me back to my youth, wish I knew then what you are teaching now.

The lobster bisque video is amazing. always a great time in Mr Jim's kitchen. And for this video what a stunning blue that Softy was.

That blue lobster was beautiful! I have a crayfish at work about the same color, but more of a pale pink underneath

I love these videos so much

Beautiful, man's synergy with nature

That was a beautiful soft lobster , thanks John 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Like and enjoy 🍀👍🎣👍🍀 Greetings from Germany 🍀👍🎣👍🍀

These videos always make me hungry

A " Sting Winkle " 😂 I told me mate to stay away from the local knocking shop 😂 Amazing royal blue on that lobster Thanks John for another day by the sea Jason

Thanks for sharing, John, the wealth of knowledge you freely give is ALWAYS gratefully received. MASSIVE thank you from my good lady, two boys, and myself for the day you gave us today. Followed in the footsteps you laid a while back in a video where you visited Prussia Cove. We visited today and had an awesome day. Was a little dismayed I didn't have you on hand to correct my shaky naming of plants and their uses. Plus the myriad of plants that looked edible, but I had literally zero clue whether they were, so, left well alone. Loads of wild garlic about, plus a stunning freshly emerged beetle, some mushrooms, and, we got to see the choughs too!!!! Really taking our time to be in nature was just beautiful. Great way to spend my birthday, with my beautiful family, in such an awesome location! Thanks mate, all because of your video! 🤍

Great video as always, great to see the blue lobster and understand how they grow and shed there shell. Your knowledge is amazing and you look like you are very happy when you explore

That sapphire blue lobster would be great for an aquarium.

Your videos are fascinating - especially for an Arizona Cowboy like me !!! Cheers Mate !!!

As usual another fun and educational trip along the shore. Thank You.

The productions values are incredible! Wonderful subject matter. I repeatedly find myself licking my lips, and hungry as! Thank you.

Really awesome when you got the soft shell lobster next to its old shell!

another amazing video, you never seem to keep me glued to the screen. followed from day 1 and shall keep waiting for next one.oh, and I now use seaweed for food thanks to you.thanks again and best wishes to you and your family.

Another incredible video John. Loved seeing this and just so fascinating. Thank you for the upload!

Love the educational parts!

Just takes me back to some of my best memories rockpooling when younger over in Whitby 👍😊 My kids love it now whenever and wherever we get chance 👍 Brilliant content once again John, keep up the fantastic work and most of all enjoyable life 👍👍x

Thank you so much for another educational video, I had no idea that lobsters ate their old shells! Makes a lot of sense though. Those seaweeds look delicious...I enjoy Japanese food where they use Dulse/Kombu and wakame for soups, broths and salads! I like how that one seaweed is called "spaghetti" HAHA makes sense! I heard that sea cucumbers are a very expensive delicacy? Cheers again, from across the pond!

Going to be on Anglesey this year again. Can't wait. Rockpools, beaches, sea, georgous landscapes.... first thing I always get is a tide time table.

Thanks so much for sharing mate I really enjoyed watching as always :) As a retired Diving Instructor I agree, get James and the Mrs confident in the shallow water snorkeling first and they will become more and more confident and curious. Slowly slowly wins the day, its not a race its for pleasure and enjoyment :) cheers.

Good evening John, great day out at the shore. It's been a fantastic day up here in Northumberland. I was in the middle of Amble harbour this morning taking pictures of the entrance and the old coal docks. 👍

The colors of your Lobsters are really beautiful. Love the blue tones. Our lobsters in the USA are brownish. Another great tidal walk. Thanks again.

That is the most beautiful lobster I’ve ever seen!!

Thank you, my weekly trip down memory lane...in terms of location I mean. Having grown up in this area, spent much spare time picking winkles which were sent off to the markets in London, this was our pocket money, late 40'S & 50's...yep an ole timer... thanks again; jusqu'a la semaine prochaine...

5:40 Great quote for life in general. cheers

Another fine foraging lesson. Thanks. 🇺🇸

You might as well had the wet suit on John for the depth of water you were up to 🤣🤣, seeing the lobster fresh peeled was quite exciting to see, cracking colours too. Cook up was epic once again mate, appreciate your efforts bud

haha about the smell, here we say "it doesn't smell BAD, it just smells A LOT." (as in not foul, just a strong strong smell)

Long time no see. I have been in the Uk for 4 months unfortunately lost my mum I was fortunate to see her before though. Great to see your out and about clear the mind. Cheers

So so exciting to see all the sea life and plants.

I could literally just watch these videos all day, great content!

Interesting exploration. So many things overlooked by most casual observers.

Another amazing video, you have been an inspiration and truly an Attenborough in the making! Thank you

Well done in the rocks. Nice lobster.

Great Video.

Lots of valuable info today lad. .throughly enjoyed it. .Giving you an extra 10 min on your tea break today

Excellent as usual, info on tides was very interesting, thanks for sharing.
