Coastal Foraging for Scallops, Clams, Cockles in the RAIN!!! Family beach cookup | The Fish Locker 

Tradition in the making. 25 years from now, James will be oon the beach with his family, toasting marshmallows and telling tales and educational experiences of his own life. Brilliant

Oh my goodness James is a right young man he is! Growing up so fast from the old videos where he was just a wee lad with his excavator and bucket full of rocks!

Loving this video. James is learning from the best. I'm a bit of a lover for scallops with the roe myself. I've been going through some major problems regarding mental health lately. You have been keeping my spirits up (with the rest of the Fish locker family). I'm sure I speak for a lot of people, but thanks for all you do.

Somewhere off the Cornish coast there's a short sighted crab looking for his spectacles 😂

In 1974 I was lucky enough to go as far south as Bovisands beach near Plymouth, in the rockpools to the west I spotted a spider crab at least 6 feet full span of the legs, the rocks above the water to the east were covered in red anemones.

Thanks for enduring a chilly, wet day for us, John! I’ve been sick in bed, so I’ve been rewatching past videos. It’s been a wonderful way to enjoy a day sick in bed. I wish I was on the shoreline right now!!

No matter how many times I watch you and James go on these adventures it warms my heart. Those were some beautiful looking scallops!

Its great to see James tucking in to the scallops and he does love his marshmallows🐡🍥

No better thing for a wee boy to be out doing this with his Dad ❤ Free, fun, educational, character building and loving. Just wonderful!

James's face full of marshmallow and a look of joy.Made me chuckle!!! Brilliant.

Rain is only a buzzkill when you are the Wicked Witch of the West. Those scallops definitely looked worth getting soaked!!

Love the video and love seeing James is enjoying shellfish!

Glad to see you. Hello from sunny Boston.

Best time of your life John and James, you will look back on these videos and smile, I hope you all have good health and prosperity in the future.

Cockles and mussels, makes me want to sing Molly Malone ! These scallops look delicious, a bit of bread, lots of butter and smoky juices, heaven on earth 😀

Beautiful coastline! I'd be out there all day foraging for cockles!

I am so hungry after watching this, I wish I lived near the shore for all those delicious scallops 😁 It was so lovely to see young James just tucking in, 'best boy' has very good taste.

It's amazing how much he has grown in the last couple years keep up the great videos

So great to see James eating those delicious Scallops. Lucky boy!!

Another nice costal foraging John. Those clams must have been very yummy. Very nice learning from your sea life knowledges. Thanks for beautiful posting.

It isn't Sunday until i've had my weekly does of coastal foraging content :D Stunning once again, John!

You're a brilliant Dad and an inspiration, cheers Ricky :)

Looked like a great adventure John.

A nice rainy seaside picnic. Very Nova Scotia!

Next time you are in the north east, take a look at the shoreline north of Beadnell. You will be amazed at the diversity, particularly on a big spring tide

So happy to see James eating shellfish ! Hopefully he will eventually like Lobster! Great video for our Sunday afternoon ! Thanks !

Shame about the weather John, but so glad to see you & James managed the cook up, thank you very much. Greetings from Cyprus. 🐟🐟🦞🦞

I can only imagine the smell of those scallops roasting in the butter. Looked amazing!

very good . . . the weather has been quite bad at times lately but . . . at least not as bad they are having in the med at the moment . . .

Great Sunday night viewing. Making me feel hungry. James is a star . Thanks for persevering with the weather.

The best part of the whole video is to see your son and you sitting by the shallows enjoying what nature provided. Thats some quality time there and he would treasure it for the rest of his life.

You sir are one of a kind, skills most men would love to have, so inspiring, I’ve been fishing in cornwall for many years but still don’t have the knowledge you have. Hope one day John I could join you on your adventures and learn from a legend.

I'd love to see you down in San Diego for the pismo clams in the spring. They are absolute units! Each one is bigger than your hand and the really big ones are the size of a melon. Clam tacos for the whole family!

Those reading glasses were one hell of a catch! In great condition too!

James is on top of things now!🥰 Love the dad time you spend with him. That's great!

I can’t get enough of these, I truly don’t think anyone else on RU-vid does it better than you! I’ve been gaining more and more confidence in myself and heading out to catch the low tides in my area, I’m really enjoying discovering all the life that I’ve been semi-blind to all these years, I even found a couple of scallop shells and a European oysters shell lately, I knew they were in the waters but I didn’t know they were so close! My new goal is to find some live scallops now, I can admire the oysters but I’d rather leave them to breed as they’re so rare now. I also found a langoustine amongst the rocks not so long ago but I think the birds had gotten to him before I could, do you reckon it would be worth having a poke around to see if I could find any more or would he have just been dragged over from the deeper water by the tides? Thanks again for all you do man, best wishes once again!

Perfect way to end the week, sitting and watching you and James munching on some scallops!

" You underestimated my power " 😂 The marshmallows war cry 😂 Scallops, hot butter and sauce , so simple yet the taste of heaven. And fresh bread for moping. Stop teasing us John! Salivating Sunday ! Good to see the young'un Thanks John, James Jason

Another fantastic video! I love the attitude towards the weather, not a frown in sight. Reminds me of saying here in Sweden "There is no bad weather, only bad clothing". Cheers mate.

Watching you forage shellfish is so relaxing and satisfying to me! Scallops are my favorite shellfish to eat.

If I lived by the beach, I would have a huge collection of shells! Every time you pick one up, they're always so pretty!

Considering the weather looks like you had a great time on the beach with the delicious scallops 😊😊

Man this is incredible, I wish I lived near a coast and one that allowed foraging like this. I'd be out there all the time, nothing beats fresh shell fish.

A very educational and enjoyable video.🧑‍🎓😃 And what a great way to end it. Father and son beach cook up. ❤️ Brings back fond memories of days on the beach and on the moors with my dad. Thank you.👍👏 James does you proud.😇 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

There's so much I love about this video I can't even name it all. Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge but yourself and your family as well. And Well Done James! Both with learning about the fire and learning about the sea.

There isn't a single video with James that doesn't make me smile! He's just like my son.

Watching his videos is such a relaxing experience

Totally envious! I'd brave any amount of rain for fresh scallops that size!

Another great video. If only we had scallops on the north east coast.

You are by far, my favorite family on RU-vid. I truly enjoy every minute here. ❤❤❤

Happy times! I love seeing you and James spending quality time together

I wish I lived there near you. NZ has a lot of diverse sea-life. Going for a walk, beachcombing is pretty fun. Collecting shells, scallop shells is fun. I only take the colourful ones lol 😂

I use to hate Sunday nights, work the next day 🙁 But I’m retired now😁 and they are especially good at the moment with weekly shows from yourself and Nathan plus the wonderful Wild Isles on the Beeb at the moment. Momentum is growing to protect the beautiful nature that we are privileged to enjoy, plenty of activists fighting the polluters and videos from your good self and others constantly remind us what we have but could so easily lose.

Another perfect foraging video and like others have said James is learning from the best person around "His Dad" and he will be the future. Brilliant to watch as normal and great to see father & son having a great time and finishing with my favourites" Marshmallows"

It always amazes me how you see all these creatures from a distance. Glad you picked the glasses up, I wonder what the strangest this you have picked up on the beach

Sunday made! Fish locker foraging always makes a Sunday great!

Good to see James enjoying the scallops and helping you cook. My son has a sea hare in his fish tank. They are not the prettiest!!

James is brilliant! I really like seeing him in the videos!

James was in his element with the marshmallows bless him.Great foraging video. Spring is here 🙏🍄🌿🌳🐟🏕

Reminds me of the days my dad would take us to the beach and we'd make a fire and eat. I can't tell you how much those memories stick with you. James is a lucky boy.

Just love watching your videos on a Sunday whilst doing dinner 👍 Thanks mush 👍

Your little lad is coming out of his shell a lot more and it's lovely to see. Surprised you didn't have a little bit of garlic to go in the scallop shells though!

Thanks for taking us along with you, most enjoyable, drooling over the scallops !! 👍

Another fantastic video John. Awesome to see how much James is loving it! Thanks again for the upload

Thank you for your efforts and the knowledge, John.

Brilliant love your foraging videos. Great watching James learning all his dads skills.👏🎣

I am so glad to see you eat the coral so many throw the away best part in my opinion

I like how you protect the environment and show us what nature looks like when it’s not too bothered. Here in the Chesapeake bay there’s a pollution crisis… I hope that one day I can help make it look like it did before the eutrophication. Your videos give me motivation to want to study and help everyone see what our ocean could look like. Great video as always!

You are so lucky to have such an amazing coast. I guess I have a pretty good one, if I can find the right spot or brave going out deeper.

Superb, i really love the foraging followed by beach cook up, back to raw survival type stuff, minus butter and chilli of course, love it, great video, thanks for sharing with us all

I absolutely adore your son learning and respecting nature

James is the star, yet again. I have never been a sea food person, but you have got me with this video John. I’m going to give it a go, my goodness that looked so tasty. Good on you mate.

I think the best videos is when you bring James with you on your adventures. Stay safe n well 🇸🇪

Always an uplifting sight, to see father and son enjoying a bit of time together. Would've been really cool to see him with you throughout your search! This one is a definite banger! Top!

Yes yet again a amazing video and James is learning after his father and starting to get a big boy now bless him , you two make a great team loved watching the cook up lads well done , and glad you put it in there 😀 👍

Never leave home without your pocket bread….love it. I’ve done the same thing, still trying to get my nieces that are around James’s age on the practical food storage mindset.

Fantastic as usual. I'm yet to find scallops like that but when I do I'm cooking them the Fish Locker way. I'll try my best to remember the gloves but as long as there's butter, bread and hot sauce I'll be happy. 👍

Nice video John 👍🏻 great haul of scollies. Those scallop frills are a brilliant Black Bream & Cod bait incase you haven’t tried it, just about to get a load myself for the season.

Now that's how you do it. Love the little fella just munching away,I wish my kids would eat like that.

Really enjoyed that John. Great to see you and your boy enjoying your adventures together. Awesome cook up! 👍

Delicious foraging 💯🤤

Beautiful to see father and son day love it well done guy’s ❤

Great to c James out and about with u today he’s growing up so fast another great video xx

I can listen and learn for hours. You and your boy make a grand pair! Your wife is a diamond too. I’d love to have had the opportunity to cook fish on the beach but there isn’t any where I live. My grandfather use to go fishing every day on the pier, in fact he “ fell asleep “ with his rod in the water and made the Clacton Gazette. That’s a true fisherman for you. 😘😘😘😘😘😘

I’m taking an invertebrate biology class right now and these videos have been even more cool to watch while taking that class, I love seeing things I’m learning about in their natural habitat! Such a good, easy and relaxing, watch for any scientist or person excited to learn.

Love seeing James he's such a sweetie Love theses videos I can see things I've never seen and probably never will see that's why I love your videos so much thanks John for sharing and making an old lady so happy 😊

James is a star, most other lads would have not stayed there in the rain, another good one John 🤓

Great video! Quite the haul! 😊

You got some Beautiful Shellfish , Enjoy your meal, glad to see you eat the roe too. It’s delicious!

Another great 45 mins well spent,always enjoy your videos and great to see James soaking up all his dad's knowledge.... Wet times but great times.

Great video

I had no idea that cowries could be found so far north! I've been watching videos about this video game, you're essentially a deep sea fisherman. I'd probably recognize more of what you could catch if I watched more of your videos, but I am glad to say that I recognized a few, thanks to you:)

Ah yeah! Reminds me of camping trips in the rain....... Adventure!!

Fantastic scallops John. 👍

Awesome video, cheers from Squamish BC Canada 🇨🇦

Awesome great memories being formed there and can definitely see that James is learning while having a great time. Keep up the awesome work and thank you for kindly sharing it with us

Great Dad, amazing to see pal

Usual brilliance, many thanks John and James, so interesting as always 🙂

Hi John and James, thanks for sharing a smashing day out regardless of the rain, the scallops looked delicious especially with the butter and chilli sauce and of course the marshmallows just finished it off a treat, as usual enjoyed this one,”cheers.”👌😃

Absolutely made my sunday to see a new video! This is my favorite channel and I love hearing all your facts and sharing them with the kids I teach!
