Coastal foraging - Scallops, Razor clams, cockles, winkles and mussels. 

When I have mini anxiety attacks at home I watch your Videos and Calm down ♥️ thank you!

I've just found your channel yesterday, you've kinda inspired me to go beach foraging when I finally get to the coast. Though my coast is off of maine up east in the US. But I'm excited to see what we've got around here. You've earned another sub, keep up the good work!

I have watched lots of videos on youtube but I must say your videos, the tips and the good care of wild life that you take is amazing! You don't see many fishermen returning 10lb fish back to sea now a days. I watched all your videos and hopefully there are more to come, hopefully we can meet for a fishing session one day mate. Simply great!

The ocean has always felt like home to me and your videos just give me that warm happy feeling.Much love to you and your family.

I am from Colorado which is quite landlocked and thousands of miles away from the nearest ocean. To me this is like searching for food on a different planet. the closest I have come to finding sea creatures were the fossils I would find in the rocks near my house. Thank you so much for the amazing content. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

This kid has an absolutely awesome hat.

I love the way John and his wife Anna talk. It's so nice how he takes his time to explain the information about the sea life that live on the beach. Even though I don't like seafood, this makes me want to go and experience what he has taught me in person. There son is adorable. Nice how he is being taught early. He is being taught to respect sea life!

Love when you bring the missus and son .

The Fish Locker Family (Whanau) - never tire watching these videos - the best!!! - inspiring - eventful and truly educational - thank you for the continued posts - Cheers - Wayne

You, sir, are a very knowledgeable and you explain very well. You need your own TV show.

Guess what's in my next shopping bag ready for when 'This' all lifts and I can get down back to family on the Isle of Wight! Thanks to the family for this John.

Thanks for digging up the clam, my curiosity was killing me

Top notch video! I can’t believe what I’m learning. Amazing.

Omg i really enjoy watching u catching razor clam... hope to see more of these video and hope to see u get the REALLY HUG ONE! HAHA

I literally can't get enough of these videos. I'm obsessed!

Really really enjoyed this walk about. A true slice of heaven. Very well done 👍

Awesome video, loads of solid tips, thank you.

I bet you keep saxa table salt going for many years..ha.ha..enjoying your vids..brings back memories of southend and leigh-on-sea with my grandparents..crab,cockles, winkles..love it all..thank you.

omg, look at James, such a cute outfit... ok, off to forage with the family...

I've learn so many things from you......... Thank you

Ok, I found another one of your coastal foraging vids..they're great! Cheers!🐚😀

“Any beach will do” mans never seen american beaches especially the touristy areas we have absolutely nothing compared to what you are finding! Maybe a single sand flea or sand crab or lionfish but nothing edible!

Thank u for this educational video. It made me laugh seeing the razor clams. How amazing to be able to get them out

Facinating vid Mr. Fish Locker. Enjoyed the family touch. Inspired me to take my 7-year old down to the Fjord and show hin the magic of smelling the sea in his nostrils and sand under his finger nails - Quality time with the family. I appreciate your time sharing with us.

I absolutely love watching your channel. Very educational and very interesting.

You’ve earned a sub my good sir!

Yall are so cute. I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

Superbly informative film that means with the big spring tides that are coming in the next few days I will be giving that salt method a try. many thanks, films like that are what youtube is all about. cheers.

This is my new favorite channel. lol Makes me miss living by the Atlantic ocean. I could've gone foraging!

Little James is looking so well. You are both incredible parents.

Great descriptives and knowledge. I can tell this knowledge has been passed down through generations. My father passed to me an excitement about engineering and it stuck. Highly impressed. Well done. ☺️

Isn’t that the most satisfying thing ever?!?

I find your videos fascinating mate. Love your work.

This was a interesting video. I've never seen razor clams. You share with patience. Very relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Loved it.

Great tutorial on how to use the natural bait for the area, just the know how for little effort and cheap bait and good eating.

*Im only at **0:59** and I'm already getting excited.* *I can't believe I'm just barely discovering this channel* 😍

I had to watch this again. I am so amazed with the razor clams! I love watching you salt and see them come up.

Fascinating and for me educational, I love to see where this seafood comes from as generally I only see them on a plate.

Brilliant education John !

Nice to see you! The snails are so good! In Italy we make PASTA whit snails!

Love the videos keep up the good work 👍

Very good info there John, thanks for that 👍

I don’t know how I came across your videos, but I absolutely love them! Binge watching all your coastal foraging videos!! Love the warmness of your videos. 😁

i found your channel today and i love u guys. so informational and interesting

I used to live on Vancouver Island when I was around 12 and my stepfather used to take me out at low tide to show me all the little crabs, giant starfish, oysters etc. I wouldn't put my boots in the water back then. He had to carry me out on piggyback!! LOL! But it was good fun and creatures went on forever some days it seemed! Hope your little guy has fun!!

Another good tutorial vid 👍🏻

Colecting bait is very rewarding I do enjoy it well done on this vid m8

When I was in the army ,a long time ago ,I was stationed in Alaska and one time my company went to Kodak island, we camped on the beach we had a field kitchen with us , and we caught sea run dolly varden trout,they were fallowing the salmon up this stream , all of them were about 28 inches long. We caught Dungeness crab under an old pier with nothing but a piece of string that we tied fish guts on and we picked mussels of this rocky point,you could pick a 5 gallon bucket in no time flat ,the reason I mentioned the field kitchen is that the cooks out did them selves cooking all we brought to them and we ate like kings. These same cooks back on post ,Fort Richardson , would burn water ,but why they shined on that trip is a mystery. But after that trip I’ve always loved mussels.

Ever wonder.....hundereds of yrs ago....how many people died just from trying all this stuff and findin out what is edible or what is poisonous or what just tastes completely dreadful??? Fishlocker I LOVE watching your foraging videos! See whats under the rocks, in the hole you just salted!! So much fun and you have really taught me alot!! Thanks n keep it up!!🦞🦀🐚

Nice vid,never seen winkles that big over here (Anglesey) the beach your on seems very fruitfull.enjoyed the video keep it up.thank you

Such a well done piece! Everything really came together at the end, love the way you pulled that off! I enjoyed all the hard work you put into this so much and am really looking forward to your next exciting adventure!

Since moving inland a few hours from the coast, I've been so homesick but I watch your videos when im missing Monterey lol and it helps lol :) cant wait to be back by the sea 💕

Love your channel!

After watching this video, i showed it to my partner over supper and he loved it! He said watching the razor clams come out of the sand was very therapeutic ! You are our go to youtube channel to watch over supper now (: Thank you Please do more videos on razor clams for us ! they are amazing creatures !

Nice John, I must go get some 👍

The scallop shells are really pretty

Superb channel. Only found this a few days ago. Great information. Looking forward to more uploads. Top Man

FOund you yesterday! Totally subscribed and have started foraging this last year to supplement our family.! I have constructed traps for crawfish and have used them for catching bait fish and crawdads. We live inland so we forage for mushrooms , dandelion greens and roots and what we can get our hands on. Love the videos keep them coming!

brilliant videos

This is neat I live 600 miles from the ocean and had no idea you could get clams like that. I’m subscribing to the channel keep em coming buddy.

great video......... !!

You read my mind John lol im about to make some vid about razor clam, spring tide next week at the lowest of 0.01 very good for collecting razor for bait nd some food too. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍.

Stumbled across your channel and can't stop watching. Wishing you and your adorable family all the best in 2020 and years to come! Happy Foraging!

Love you channel mate

Nice little feast👍

You make me homesick! I moved to Texas miles from any coast. I miss my childhood holidays beachcombing on the south coast at Weymouth, Lyme Regis and West Bay. Texas beaches, the only one I have seen, are nothing compared to home. Best find I had was the top of an Ammonite (about 8 inches long) which I found in the clay on the beach above Skegness.

That last clam you dug up is a mud gaper. Their a soft shelled clam but the spouts on them are really tough and are great for bait for shore fishing. You can use them in spots where the crabs and prawns are destroying baits before any fish have the time to get them. Flatties love them.

Omg! flawless skipping rocks. I'd be there for hours. 3:02

that is fantastic...

You make getting the razors out in 1 piece look a lot easier than it is ;)

Every single one of your videos you have your wife and son with you I don't think I have seen one without your family that right there tells you what he is the kind of person he is , one that cares his family is with him and he is teaching his kid at a young age so he never has to go hungry dude you are the man love your stuff not sure about eating some of this stuff of course we don't have alot of those here so we don't know ow it is but FL beaches have alot of food no one is willing to find it they walk along the beach and go see there is nothing here but you have to go to the back side of any island in FL and the intercostal is full of food

ahhh i just found your channel today, and im not a big fan of fishing but your videos make me want to go the beach and look for all these little creatures !! love your channel and your videos !! :)

I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I’m so glad I did. You and your family are a delight to watch. I am a seafood lover! We do a lot of fishing and crabbing(blue crabs) where I live. Regards! -from Florida, USA.

Another incredible video. We are enjoying this channel very much. Reminds this author of when she used to go fishing and clam hunting with her father :)

Great videos. I found you yesterday my son would love this too! New subscriber 👍👍 all the best to you and fam

Ace mate... Just ACE... Love these uploads with the Family mate So informative Gonna Have a go with Our James and Bradley in the Half Term Mate. Cheers Pal

Loved the vid as usual! Especially when you had the big clam and it squirted some water out. I heard young James say, "It's wee-ing!". Love it matey! You make it look too easy!

One of my sons (he is six) and I spent a beautiful and manly evening watching your uploads. We both loved them as we have tried foraging often (never by the sea though). You have inspired us both. He particularly loved watching you catch and eat a lobster and two crabs. He wants to find one now himself haha thanks for that - we had a great evening together :)

Your wife is a very lucky lady! Must be fantastic to go for a walk on the beach with you. Relaxing and informative in equal measure xxx

Idk why but your accent makes me smile

I live on the Belgian coast, which isn't rocky but has all the shells you have. A word about mussels: I've always been told that you can't eat them unless they're continuously submerged.

The clam you found is often harvested by clammers in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, in the states of Washington and Oregon. It is known as a geoduck. (Pronounced as "goo-ee-duck") The clam is often a good meter below the surface. If you look this up on RU-vid, you will see that most seasoned fishermen use a specialized tool for catching them. One other thing to note, the geoduck you found was on the small side. They make for very good eating, but look up how to prepare them. They have a skin that needs to be removed. Love your channel. Continued good luck fishing!

I will need to give a go and try it

Great footage again John,ye can't beat a bucket full of seafood..ha! We call the big clams "gurachean's" It's pronounced differently as we speak funny up here in sunny Scotland..lol

Nice one lad.

Great vid John,can't believe you put the scallops back though ! In case you didn't know the large clam is a gaper clam,bass,cod will take them !

Fun and good eats

Grateful #Newsub I like how u give tips & instructions

Tried some razors last year. Might be my cullinery expertise but I will save them for the Gilts. Wont be long now.

Thank you for pulling that clam out the sand, I was dying to see what it was! 🤣 new U.S. subscriber here, keep up the great content!

Great videos I really want to do this up here in Scotland some time

Girlfriend looks a bundle of fun!! ha ha!

It looks like a geoduck clam

It's always a pleasure to go foraging with you :) Sadly I live very far away from the next beach...would need to drive 6 hours...

Imagine walking on that beach bare foot

Hi John that snail id is pelican's foot.Great info.

Can’t believe I JUST found this channel.

Its cool to see that we have some of the same clams even tho i live on the west coast of the US our razor clams are very different tho

i love how u reply to pretty much every comment

I binge watched a few videos this morning as I got a bit of "me time" loved the traces you made for squid and importance of wetting the knot before pulling it tight,your channel is perfect for seasoned fishermen/woman and beginners alike.I used to use toooooo many 3way swivels.?😆 My heart was in my mouth watching you bringing in those two tuna!!! Cheese and slice John your spine must have felt like mush after that day out...pffft! I always try to catch up with your latest when I'm on a break at night,helps the shift fly in..👍 (tight lines mate)
