Coastal Foraging - Clams, Cockles and Shellfish - Homemade Clam Chowder | The Fish Locker 

Absolutely love watching your father-in-law cook. He is truly a God send! You have a wonderful family and I enjoy watching your videos immensely.

Great video. I didn’t know that Jim was Hannah’s father. Learn something new every day. What a lovely family.

The fact you’re such a mindful forager makes my heart happy. People come and destroy our zones in California all the time or often over harvest. We have a whole branch of law enforcement in the states for it

Happiness is learning recipes from Uncle Jim and learning biology and good conservation ethics from Uncle John. Both of you are very talented. Thank you for sharing your time and experience!

Jim is a funny man..😁 And a great cook...

Brilliant, lovely to see a family unit,cooking and eating together, Jim is a legend, keep it up 👏👏👏

Definitely would like to see the dogfish/bull huss catch and cook.

Yeaaaaah bring on the spargos kitchen! Love that James is getting more and more involved!

"That's a considerable nob John" can't beat a bit of kitchen talk 😂

Waw! Yum yum yum 😋 Thanks Jim & John!

Love these night time foraging videos, makes me want to get some warm clothes on and get out there myself 🙂

Love to see what he will do with a Yellow fin tuna. It was amazing what he made from an Octopus. Amazing cook. 👏👏👏

I also saw your previous video. I enjoy seeing you and your son. I have three girls, and when they were kids, I took them fishing as often as I could. I would love to try some of Jim's dishes. They always look very tasty. If you make it back to the US again, bring Jim and look me up. Very much enjoy your RU-vid videos.

I don’t fish and don’t eat it much either but love watching your channel, jim is pure class. Such a kind soul

Wish someone would kick me out of the sink haha 😄. Thanks for sharing another beautiful moment with your family and extended family

Feeling a tad hungry now, great vlog and hats off to the chef doing diff menus catering for diff food needs in a short space of time in a kitchen set up........kudos

John, that knob of butter was massive, way over what most would normally consider to be a knob! I don't want you setting unrealistic expectations!

Thank you all, so entertaining. . It looked delicious.

We call them oyster crackers, kinda funny cuz their are no oysters in them! I like using the plain goldfish crackers!! They are even better and suit the meal your having, shaped just like fish!! Lol thanks again Jon and Jim !!!❤❤❤

Really enjoy watching Jim cooking,would like to see the dog fish catch and cook

a Dogfish Catch and Cook would be amazing Always Love Spargo's Kitchen Segment XD

I get so hungry for seafood after your videos...

Big fan of Spargo! I'm excited that you have a Spargo's playlist. I'm off today so I know I'll be watching a few episodes.

John watching your videos really makes my day! Also seeing Jim recover so well and do what he loves is very reassuring. My father had a stroke as well and I hope every day he will be as full of life as your dad in law is! God bless 🙌

Bloody hell and Wow again mate this was spectacular great to see yer first mate vaporising onions and Wor Jim cooked up a Storm again both dishes looked so tasty,you is lucky to have a talented chef in the FAM. Well done John totally loved it fella thankyou

Alright, I'm catching up on some old videos and GOD BLESS YOU and the Spargo kitchen. We have had bizarre weather here in the USA and today in Texas on Good Friday it is going to be cold. I have a tin of baby clams and was thinking of making my husband clam chowder but didn't know how to make it from scratch. Usually I open a soup can and throw in more stuff to make it better. I am DEFINITELY saving this vidoe in my YT collection of recipe videos. I have all the ingredients already in my fridge to make this claim chowder. Since my husband is Muslim and doesn't eat bacon I will swap it out for beef sausage because here in the South it's smoked and has a great smoky flavor. So excited to try this recipe tonight. Will use milk and heavy whipping cream.

I make smoked turkey chowder with sweet corn and wild rice as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. People eat so much of it that they are full when its turkey and mashed potato time. And the name of the proper cracker is ‘Oyster Crackers’. Another classic cracker is broken up ‘Chicken in a Biskit’. Those are even more delicious. As always, heartwarming content. Perfect food for the weather.

What a lovely sustainable meal. Great to see the family enjoying themselves.

Always such a joy to see a new Fish Locker Vid

Love this so much. Anytime Jim and the family are in the video's something magical happens.

I'll pop down and clean his kitchen , all the pots and pans just taste some of his cooking . thanks mate for another brilliant video .

Jim can come cook for me anytime. He seems to enjoy being on video. Great fresh harvest.

I live on the east coast of New England in the United States. The crackers you are talking about are oyster crackers. New England clam chowder and Manhattan clan chowder are regulars in the winter here.

Thank you for showing us how to cook clam chowder 🙏

I LOVE the Catch and Cooks! Bring on the dogfish!

He has an unique speech style as he takes unusual pauses when speaking. Thanks for sharing the lovely chowder dishes 🤤😋

"Put it all in! Let's be outrageous" .. Hit me hard!

Another great video, and a prime example of only taking what you need. I HATE seeing people take more then leave what they don't use to waste. Distasteful. It's always good to see you on here demonstrating responsible foraging. That being said, I'm a HUGE fan of scallops and those looked amazing. I'm jealous of you LOL.

Fantastic to see dog-fish fingers catch & cook

I love watching Jim and your family interact you all look to be having such a great time. SPARGO"S kitchen makes the best food i am so jealous i cant be there eating those chowders with you. The only thing i would do different is i would use at least 10 cloves of garlic. But i love garlic more then the average guy. Yes,to the dogfish and cook i think it is a good idea to get more people eating dogfish since all the videos i watch these are thrown back. I think its the name maybe if they were called something else more people would eat them. This would take some of the pressure off other overfished species. Thankyou for another great video and as always stay safe out there!🙂

Howdy John & Crew!! Always love watching Jim create the masterpieces of culinary art from the seafood finds you catch!!!!!!!!!

So much fun to all be in the kitchen together. I liked the way Jim used the bread rolls as a cup to serve the clam chowder. I bet it was delicious.

Simply wonderful! And Jim's comment "Ive got a great face for radio!" made me laugh out loud. Keep em coming! Take care, Graham.

Wonderful. We all wanted to be there with you. Thanks to your skills... we were.

I remember when I was 6/7 and my parents were in their 20’s (a very VERY long time ago) my dad took me whelk picking at our local patch at the weekend. I loved whelks and we got a ton of em that summers day. My dad cooked em all up and we got tucked in. When the weekend was over I begged my mum to let me take a bag of whelks to school and she foolishly let me. It was just before the summer holidays so it was really warm that day. I’m sure you can see were this is going John. Of course I ended up with bloody food poisoning and couldn’t stop vomiting and ever since then I can’t even look at a whelk. I do still love some cockles and scallops though. Especially scallops. I didn’t know you can find them just walking along the beach at low tide though. You learn something new every day.

The crackers in New England chowder are pilot crackers. They’re quite large, and hard, and soften as they soak in the chowder. Now the usual cracker is called oyster crackers, quite tiny. One can find pilot crackers in a few places, primarily in New England.

Loved that looked fantastic well done as always Jim. And fair play would drive me mad having so many people in the kitchen while I was cooking haha 🎣

Spargos kitchen could be preparing some sort of deep sea beast and still make it look good

Jim was in his element on this one John! What a fun post to experience! Now you have a mission brother. I want to see Jim make something tasty out of the thing you hate the most. Dogfish. When he was rattling off species and he got to that, I'll bet you had a piss shiver or a cold chill! Loved this post John. Thank you and love home brother.

Thumbs up from Kentucky, U.S.A.

Love this! Well done guys, it was lovely to see the laid back family way of showing how to prepare the food you source from nature! Look forward to seeing more like this!

My favorite Fish Locker video: Foraging! My favorite soup in the world: Clam Chowder! Perfect video! And I'm not sure what some people call them but the crackers I always put in my chowder were called Oyster Crackers. They were a puffy hexagonal cracker. Good for when you had a stomach bug too haha. Thanks for sharing as always, John. Tight lines!

Absolutely would love to see a dogfish catch and cook. Love the show!

Jim is correct. I use almond or oat milk for soups. However I keep a closer eye on the heat. It will scorch quicker then dairy. Another wonderful video. Thank you John.

A meal fit for a king.

I enjoy your family shows immensely. They're oyster crackers that go with the soup. If I knew where to find them in the US I would try it with mini cheddars. A dogfish catch and cook would be great. The only thing I know to do with them is battered and fried steaks of fish.

Very nice 👌

I think that showing the love and happiness you have with all your family is fantastic, spargos kitchen is very knowledgeable, bur where are his Christmas socks, love the shows and a very merry Christmas to you all Xx

Good wholesome entertainment. I will probably never do these recipes myself, but well done, a joy to watch.

Honesty, the combination of fresh ingredients and lovingly traditional techniques to put together these classic seafood meals is worthy of the Michelin inspectors visiting over maybe soon! 👀 I've only had Clam chowder twice, it's such a rarity to pick up on it in the City as it's unfavoured in rotation for nearly all Smart-casual restaurants. The beautiful, semi-sweet and briney flavor of the clams is honestly something else. I tried a bisque of clams at Angela's in Margate.

Great to see the story from foraging, or, catching the seaford, to its preparation and finally the family being treated to a slap up meal cooked by the superb cook Jim. Nirvana !!!

That's a considerable knob, John! So says the master chef 😅

I wish I had grown up in England. The most lovely people on Earth.

Another great family meal. Love to watch your family working together and enjoying life.

As always, a pleasure to watch you and your family enjoying Jim's culinary skills and turning out some amazing dishes.🍲🥣 Thank you all for sharing.👍👍 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

James is a credit to you mate, and you're a credit to him. 👍

Definitely go for the dogfish catch and cook, lads! Thanks for the cracker video. The chowder looks gorgeous!!

Another fantastic "Jimisode", just what I needed today. Sorry John, you guys are cool too lol x

He’s making a roux with the onions already in it! I didn’t know you could do that. I would have just added the onions to the sauce once it was made. That’s awesome. I’m pinching that idea.😂

I love that u don't take all of them. And that u help the animals by taking seaweed off them, and reburying them. Also love how u teach us stuff about the fish and sealife. Ur videos are awesome. Thank u for sharing!

Jim is a great cook John and very tidy as he cooks. I’d like to see a dogfish cook up please! You catch enough of them 😉

Love to see a dog fish cook up. You can also make clam chowder with a tomato base, instead of a milk.

That looked as delicious as I bet it tasted !!Thanks for sharing 👍

Yes please, a dog fish catch and eat 😋. We enjoy all of your videos!

Honestly John, I’d watch you catch anything and then watch Jim cook it! Lol! Always great videos!

How Lucky you all are excellent fisherman excellent chef and very happy family living in a beautiful part of uk love watching your videos thanks for posting them and letting us enjoy along with you

I look forward to the cooking part of the catch...great vid John.

wow that man's cooking is amazing looking makin me hungry :) and @The Fish Locker nice haul of seafood u got there

I love it when spargo’s kitchen is in the vid! Everything Jim makes looks so tasty!🤤

I love your videos with Jim cooking! So now I know how clam chowder is made. In New England the cockles are referred to as little necks. Great video!!!

Another fun video with family. Definitely would like to see catch, clean and cook dogfish 🙂

Fantastic food and plenty of hilarity, what more could you ask for. 👍

In the USA they serve oyster crackers with clam chowder. In a pinch they do use Saltine crackers too.

That's a considerable knob John 😂 great video guys.

Well done Jim and spargo kitchen once again it all looks delicious , I always love your channel John great content all round , would love to see a bull huss or dogfish catch and cook I have heard how hard it is to skin a dogfish

Absolutely fantastic! I'm again left dribbling over my keyboard! I've experienced some incredible chowder's around the world, and those two looked a match for any of them. Up until now I've been one of those people who loves a good rich chowder, but has no idea how a chowder works! That changed this evening :) Thank you so much for sharing :)

Thanks John, It's always lovely seeing you with your family all together.. That Chowder looks beautiful! I would have to miss out the Clams though, I like anything and everything that comes out of the sea but I never really took to clams for some reason. As for the doggies I've not been able to get it for years! A lot of chippies used to sell it as Rock Salmon. Another thing chippies used to do was Skate Wings.

i dont even know what a dogfish is but i'd watch you guys catch and cook anything tbh. you could cook a shoe and id still watch.

Jim, John, and team Spargo, thank you for a very good reason to keep going, I loved this and wish Jim had his own cooking programme it would be so good. I used to cook all the time and loved creating new tastes, now Jim has given me the energy and excitement to keep trying.

I love your content so much. It's a refreshing escape from the drama of the world. 😊

Your show takes me to where your at makes me smile

Jim is just simply amazing. I love your catch and cook videos at Spargo’s kitchen.

Oyster Crackers!! I grew up eating these in all kinds of soup and chowder! Cheers from Vermont! 🐄🍁

Lovely video, Jim is a legend and the bit when he was filming himself for a few seconds was brilliant. Catch and cook videos are so heart warming. Would love to see a Kedgeree recipe.

another banger of a video, always great seeing you all together, cheers to the family, even to the camera shy Lizzy that doesn't like to appear lol. Would love to see a dogfish and bull huss catch and cook. One got a bite of you, so now we should see you get a little revenge lol.

Chuffed when a see a new fish locker vid up 👍. Had a bit man flu over the weekend so was stuck in and binge watched a load, best content on RU-vid lad 🙌

Bit late but a massive yes to a dogfish catch and cook! Love eating them myself but always just boringly fry them! Can’t wait to see what Spargo comes up with!

Oyster crackers, John. I love these vids featuring The Two James's!! A big fan of James' cooking style and patient explanations of his techniques. As we say here in New England ... the Chowda looked fab!

Love theses videos catch and cook with family food looks soooo delicious

What a lovey bunch and a beautiful cozy home. God Bless and Happy New Year
