Foraging for delicious oysters at a very low tide in a sheltered welsh estuary with wild cooking on the shore with "Llew" the golden retriever. In collaboration with Kris Harbour / @krisharbour
Thank you Michael,I am in the process of making many videos of this nature on a regular basis.They will feature the wildlife ,foraging and outdoor cooking of the foraged items from very many locations and differing coastal habitats around our wonderful coast line of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire in West Wales. In the near future I will be offering courses . My Website will be "www.Coastal Foraging .co.uk. This will be live in about a month or so. If you've not seen them yet please visit the 2 further videos I made in collaboration with my friend, Kris Harbour "Coastal foraging with Craig Evans" and "Extreme low tide foraging with Craig Evans". Kind Regards, Craig
Has this man been picked up by TV yet, his knowledge and experience are amazing!! Not many men like this left in UK. So glad I found this channel, thank you Craig n Kris.
No I'm pretty damn sure it's a shark. And that reasoning is not a valid argument, cats and lions are part of the FELINE family, not the lion family, that's not even a thing.
No I didn't. So you meant that though cats and lions are both felines a cat isn't a lion, sure that logic makes sense, but they're both still felines. Just like a dogfish and a great white are both sharks but a dogfish isn't a great white, that's where that line of logic would work, but at the end of the day they're still both sharks and that's where your argument is invalid. So with that last comment, are you saying that it isn't or is a shark? Because it seems to me that you're saying that they are a shark.
Scotsman in oz.... loved it, pacific oysters are growing feral near me ,also got native Sydney rock oysters too, and warrigal greens ,New Zealand spinach, brought seeds back from beach and planted in garden...
Excellent educational video. Foraging seafood from ocean-Saslt water bodies can truly be a " Horn of Plenty". Even from Fresh Water bodies as well. Indentificatiin, discernment and Foraging for seafood is important survival task to know, such skills will give people skills to sustain their lives when necessary. For many people Seafood is an excellent source of nourishment. Thank You Sir you sharing your knowledge.
I love watching your videos, not only are they very relaxing but really informative, I am captivated and find your videos really interesting, every time you cook the food at the end I just wish I could reach through the screen and taste some they look delicious, wish I could go foraging I think it would be very therapeutic
Another great video, love these and the ones you did on Kris' s (sp?), channel... that's how I found you. I can't tell you enough how satisfying these are. Thank you from the Midwest of the U.S. 😊
All is fine Zach - Covid has put paid to my coastal foraging courses but will soon resume. Hoping to make some more videos , but I have trouble finding someone to film and edit them for me, regards Craig
This is real foraging. Hasn’t been tampered with for RU-vid at all. Can’t get any fresher then what these guys are doing, aaand.. we all get some good knowledge from Craig. Lots to teach
Pnce I saw one of Craig Evans videos I couldn't stop🛑These videos always reminds me of days my friends and I used to go camping and getting back to nature and forget all the madness of city life
Loved this! Back where I grew up in NW Florida along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, a number of my friends' families farmed the local oysters and had been for generations-- they took the tiny baby oysters as they found them growing wild and put them in little holes drilled into wooden pilings, and then wrapped the whole thing in chicken wire. The sea would keep everything submerged and when the oysters were large enough, my friends and their families would go out with low-sided oyster boats, a couple of people in the boats to take the catch while the others waded in the water and pulled the oysters from the pilings. I don't think this method has changed much in a long time, except that they used to tie nets over the baby oysters instead of chicken wire.
YsabetJustYsabet,thank you for a very interesting comment. Whilst on a family visit to Florida 6 years ago I decided to go out for a days fishing in the Gulf of Mexico out of Clearwater,I did catch a few fish but the highlight for me was seeing the abundance of Oysters and fish in the harbour and inlets,a truly fertile ecosystem. The video was filmed in an estuary that has been well know for the native Oysters(Ostreme Edulus) since around 1500 AD. There is a very small natural commercial Oyster fishery ,which only harvests around 2 tonnes per year.
Now that's the kind of video that should get a lot of likes and subscriptions because that's the best part eating your catch i think all fishing and crabing videos should show how y'all clean them and cook them and eat them in some good recipes
Great video, thanks, it reminded me of me and dads time on the shore. We got cockles, razor fish and muscles, that was until they built the power station at Heysham.
I pinched a nerve in my neck almost a week ago. I have been trying to manage my pain. I am so thankful for your videos. I am able to relax so much watching your Videos and others like these. Videos like these are so calming. I thinks its because your not loud and you take your time to explain so much.... Please please keep making more videos. Thank you so much.... P.S. still hungry... Haahaahaa
im a professional oyster opener here in NZ, our season runs from march 1st til end of august and they are dredged from the bottom of the sea (wild not farmed) and these oysters look very much like ours
Great video i watched u a while back and I forged a few bit from were i live samfire cliff cabbage Welchs and a few bit a sea weed..... keep them coming great video....
Your welcome . Whilst on fishing trips down that way I gather clams .. shrimps . Etc and have a quick meal whilst fishing :))))). And always make sure to catch some great pollock too :)))
I get so hungry when I watch your videos. I like seeing what herbs and spices you use, as well as the seafood. Kris, I don’t like the raw oysters either. I keep trying them from time to time, but they just won’t go down.
Same here in Poole Harbour, the Romans loved our abundance of native oysters and they’re are mounds of the shells around our Roman sites in and around us in Dorset. We still have them too, and the Pacific oyster now that occasionally you can find having escaped from a fisherman’s small oyster farm.
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 have you considered doing events where a group of people (pay) and join you on your adventures? I'm sure many people (me included) would love to join you on your foraging escapades. Not only could you earn a few quid but most importantly you'd be sharing your knowledge and keeping this skill going for generations to come. I appreciate that your videos are a means of passing on your knowledge but there's more to be gained when you're doing the practical and hands on. Plus I can't pet furry through the screen. Just a thought. I'd happily pay you a fee to spend a day learning and enjoying such beautiful scenery. Anyway keep up the good work. I'm hooked and subscribed.
@@jimmyfarley5581 Hi Jimmy , I have a foraging business , where by I take groups of people out foraging, teach wildlife skills,history geology and then cook the catch my website is www.coastalforaging.co.uk , regards Craig
I finally found oysters in North Wales thanks to your video to help if them. Managed to find some large Pacific ones and also some native ones! Can't wait for this weather to pass so I can get back out and find some more! Thanks for another great video!!
Great ,invasive Pacific oysters are fair game( and much bigger with more meat),please practice conservation with the natives.I don't know where your location is,but I would ensure that there is no "Several Order" in force-This means that they are farmed/cultivated and legally belong to the farmer,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans thanks for the reply Craig I'm in North Wales there is a farm close by where they grow them on trellis but have been told by local fisherman who was collecting mussels on same beach that any stray Pacific on the beach are fine but no idea about the natives - they're too small to bother with anyway!
Awesome ...i do this a lot here in new zealand. For survival id eat everything u caught. We also have urchins -kina...abalone -paua....but we dont hav razor clams...they look delish.
