OMG, all that he has on the go at the same time the stuffing, the cabbage, the bread sauce I would be panicking by now, I cannot believe how calm he is. He is amazing.
He’s been there and done it all before. 40 years experience and you can tell by how calm it all is. 😊
Love cooking in Spargo's kitchen! Everything looks delicious!!
It always is. 😊
Bless him , you can see he really enjoys cooking and the fact john gives him a chance to share his passion with the world obviously makes him feel honoured and great too ❤️
Jim is simply wonderful. 😊💙
I actually learnt tidbits of cooking today. Amazing how these little tricks can enhance food. Thx to mr spargo..awesome
That is what we hope when we make the videos 😊🎄
Thank you Neelima, keep watching, keep cooking
I am so honored to have a reply from mr spargo. Yes sir I love cooking. That’s my passsion. I truly admire you. Respectfully.
Can you imagine having this extraordinary feast as a family member, and then being told that "because the video didn't take" you get to have the same amazing meal over again a second time. Ahhhh the curse and the blessing of modern technology lol!
Honestly when it happened I was devastated, the work Jim put in it was a real shame. I’m thankful he agreed to do a second one.
@@TheFishLocker A well cooked meal for friends and family is a ton of work, so pass on a note to Jim that all us viewers thank him for the effort!
Really appreciate sharing your family the way you do. Love the Fishing and foraging along with the occasional Spargo’s kitchen! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!!
We simply share in the hope that it helps folks out. I understand that some people may not get to do what we do, so we make the videos so they may join us. 😊
Yes, please! I would love an after Christmas leftovers special. Thank you so much for showing us what feast you'll be preparing for your family over the holiday. Most people would find it more than tough enough to cook that much Once a year...
If we have the chance we shall do some videos.
You’ve done it again Jimbo. Best channel on CZcams!
Glad you think so. 😊💙
How interesting to see some of the different dishes than ones we have in the States. The roasted potatoes look amazing. Thank you and Happy New year to all your family!
It is our pleasure. Best wishes and have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻
Never seen anyone look so chilled out cooking Christmas dinner my wife gets really stressed out. Great video cheers. All the best 👍👍
Jim’s just a cool dude. 😎
It's 8:15 am here in Colorado. After watching that lovely cookup from Jim, I am STARVING for a Christmas dinner!
But maybe just a cuppa and a cherry danish first, eh? LOL
Haha. I’ve been hungry 3 times now with this. Filming. Editing and again doing the comments. 🤣
Ohh a Danish, great way to start the day🎉
What a lovely man he is. His voice is so relaxing.
All the best to you and yours 🍻
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊
Fabulous just fabulous, can’t wait for mine. Thank you so much for sharing. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and every good wish for the New Year.🎄☃️❤️
Thank you Stephen and best wishes to you and yours. 😊🎄
Lovely to watch. I've said it before and I'll say it again, they must be some Teflon coated fingertips. Just casually touching pans and trays fresh from the oven/hob. Legend. I envy the relationship. Hats off
Haha. Occasionally I hear a sizzle and it’s Jim’s fingers. 🤣
That guy is a genius, John. Patience of a saint and a brilliant cook/chef. Wish he was doing my Christmas dinner.
Jim is such a star isn’t he. 😊
Thank you David, it all started watching my mother, grandmother and sisters cooking as a child. Thank you for your kind words
Your very welcome James. I too, watched my mother. But I learned from her mistakes. She was a terrible cook haha. 87 now and still with us, also admitting what I've just said. Bless her.😇
Thank you very much for this incredibly special video! It's also very kind of Jim to show us how he prepares a holiday meal for his family; merry Christmas, Fishlockers!
Jim is a star isn’t he. 💙
I'm cooking Christmas Dinner while watching this.... a glass of wine too perfect day. Wish Jim and the fish locker family the verry best!!!
I shall. Best wishes 😊🎄
With Jim and John Kirkwood both presenting online, it is beyond me why anyone would bother with the poncy cooks you see on the mainstream TV channels. Both of these guys cook good, wholesome, feel good food that is recognisable with recipes and methodologies that are replicable by anyone. Add to that the solid endorsement from James for the quality of the turkey. Another outstanding, informative vid from Jim. Thank you and merry Christmas to all of the Locker Clan.
I agree with you Carl. Mainstream TV is a waste of time.
What a wonderful family - Jim you are a brilliant chef - i have learned so much from you. Many thanks John 🙂
It is our pleasure Matthew. 😊
Thank you Mathew
Hi all, a great video to watch as always.
You all have a merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎉
Thank you, a very merry Christmas 🎉
Thank you very much Rich. 👍🏻🎄
My wife& I would like to thank you for all the videos you have put on CZcams this year, we have watched all of them, Great viewing, thank you ,and a merry Christmas to you& yours,. God bless Mike&Jan x
It is our pleasure Mike. Best wishes to you both and have a lovely Christmas. 😊
Well done Jim at Spargo's kitchen. Merry Christmas to you all......
Thank you Ian and merry Christmas. 😊🎄
A very merry Christmas Ian, thank-you for your comment
Love watching yous guys cooking,
So relaxing chilled.
The good life ❤👍🏻🏴
Simply sharing what we love doing. 😊
Yes, I first thought Jim's own channel would be good.
However, now I think it would be missing the family atmosphere. This format works very well. He's explaining his process to family instead of telling an audience. 🇺🇸
And people rarely understand how much work it is filming, editing and producing the videos.
Thank you, cooking, for me is always a joy never a chore 😊
I like Jim....his cooking is great and so are his jokes...i like the way he looks upon everything cooking or otherwise.
Jim is a wonderful guy. 😊💙
Brilliant - an incredible level of multi-tasking! Loved James' Christmas jumper too haha.
James loves a good Christmas jumper. 🤣🎄
Thanks for another Spargo's Kitchen. Its Its always fun to see what's going on in the kitchen. All the best to your family.
Thank you Stu. Best wishes mate. 👍🏻😊
Looks amazing John,love seeing family and friends enjoying a great meal together.
That’s what it’s all about John. Take care bud and have a wonderful Christmas 👍🏻🎄
Well I mean with the turkey carcass Jim can always make stock and freeze it ready for future meals
Just wait and see. 😉
We always freeze the carcass in a bag in the freezer before throwing away, helps prevent flies and such if you can do that then take out as you throw it away
Agreed, makes the best soup or gravy base ever.
I followed you and the family right through what I feel was a very successful and rewarding year of catches and cooks, shark and wreck fishing. lobster/crab pot hauling, and not to forget shoreline seafood foraging, plus the holiday in Florida videos. I love Spargo kitchen with Jim's culinary skills and as for that boy of yours, he is so much like you now John, it's uncanny. You're a genuinely lovely guy John, a pleasure to watch all your many adventures so thank you for sharing these with us all. I for one enjoy watching all your videos and adventures and the many species targets and descriptive learning videos you bring to us all. We would get on like a house on fire, me and you as we share an equal interest in the sea and the environment around us. People are always interested in learning things like this so keep it up John as what you are teaching us is valuable and a great contribution. Just wishing you and Hanna and James and Jim and family a fantastic Christmas and New year. All the very best to you all. give James a big hug from me x x Vinny
Thank you Vinny and best wishes to you and yours. Let’s hope 2023 is another successful and healthy year for us all. 😊🎄
Wow Jim makes it so easy, going to try making his bread source, I like having white source, never tastes like my nan used to make, Thank you all for the video, great watch as always, have a lovely Xmas John & to your family
Thank you Pete, enjoy!!!
I had never tried it until I met my wife. Well worth a try. 😊
Wonderful! This reminded me of my Nan and the wonderful Feasts she would prepare for the family! You never went away hungry!
I am glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
Merry Christmas and massive wishes to you and your family.
Thank you Nicola. Take care my friend. 😊🎄
It was good to see Jim again. ❤ Bless you Jim
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊
Not only a fantastic fisher man ,,, there’s a fantastic chef aswell ,,,, lovely jubilee chaps
Glad you enjoyed joining us Steve. 😊
Awesome video as always. Jim never fails to impress. Little James running off with the bacon had me laughing.
BACON THIEF!!!! 🤣
Taking after his Dad😅
Spargo needs his own cooking YT channel!
He has one. You are watching it.
Enjoy watching Jim do his thing. He’s got a real calming way about him and it’s so easy to watch. Happy Christmas all.
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊
OMG, I'm Russian but I married a Welshman. He has got us eating wax turnips every holiday. He taught me to cook them in a pot along with a few peeled carrots. You mash them with salt and pepper, and butter..done. I never knew that they could be eaten raw. I'm a retired Critical care specialist nurse and even with all my nutrition training, I never hear this before! Thanks now you have taught me some fishing and some rutabagas info. lol
I was eating the sprouts, cabbage, carrots and swede raw. They’re completely different in taste and texture to cooked. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Wow another difference. If I was going to buy a "swede" here I would look for either a wax turnip ( here in the US they put edible wax all over the veg to keep it shelf stable) or a rutabaga. You called it a swede.
Thank you for posting this! So many good ideas thanks to this vlog!! Love cooking in Spargo's kitchen! Merry Christmas to you and family 🎄❤
Thank you Craig and best wishes to you and your family for Christmas. 😊🎄
Thank you Craig, keep watching! A very merry Christmas to you
In this crazy world, yours is one of the few places on CZcams I take refuge. Merry Christmas and God bless to your family. Tight lines in 2023! Don, From the USA
I also have the same view of the world. Which is why we live our lives as we do and share what we do. Almost in protest. 😉🤣
I love ❤️ kitchen videos when u are all together I think getting too see the kitchen this way is just a blessing John thank you so much for sharing with all of us
We are purely sharing what we love doing. Simple and honest. 😊
John, we used to be given sticks of raw swede, too! Loved the peppery nuttiness. Also loved the middle bits of cabbage stems. Something my late Mum used to do was to make swede and mashed potato into little patties and fry them off like bubble and squeak, to go with bacon and egg. Always loved that!
We mixed it all in. Mushy peas, mash, carrot, swede. Delicious. 👌🏻😊
Thankyou for another very enjoyable video. Looking forward to the next one. All the best to you and your family from Denmark
It is our pleasure. Best wishes to you and have a wonderful Christmas 😊🎄
I love the holiday traditions of the British!!
I used to love living in London at Christmas time.
Merry Christmas to y'all from south Texas
Thank you Christian and merry Christmas. 🎄😊
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. Lest hope for full pots and big landings in the New Year.
Thank you Sir. 😊
Thank you for bringing us into your family time John! Jim is such an amazing cook! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much and have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻
Love your channel. Love when Jim shows his skill of cooking. Keep up the great entertainment!! USA here..
Thank you Mark. 😊
Only found you this year and still catching up with the content but the family dinners are special. All the the best to you and yours! :)
I hope you’re enjoying working your way through our back catalogue. 👍🏻😊
Another enjoyable video in Jiims kitchen.
Got a few tips for Crimbo dinner thanks to Jim.
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year.
Look forward in seeing the Fish Locker video in 2023.
Thank you Leslie and take care 😊🎄
I love you and your family so much. I started watching just you. And was very happy with the content. Then you add Just James and Hannah, and oh, my, I’m in love. Then what do you do? You add Jim to the mix. Seriously, John, how much do you think this old woman’s heart can handle? ❤
We are positive minded and caring people, at a time when that is maybe needed in peoples lives we felt we should share it. Have a wonderful day and a happy festive season. 😊🎄
Oh boy, I'm inspired by all of this, but especially that bread sauce! I learn so much everytime I watch Jim cook...thanks for sharing this :)
It really is a delicious addition. 😊
Hi Pamela, keep cooking!! Have a wonderful Christmas
The calmest cook I have ever witnessed cooking a Christmas Dinner.
Proving yet again what a superstar he is.
Hail Spargo.
I'm cooking this year and this video has landed with perfect timing....just like his cooking.
Merry Christmas to one and all.
I am constantly amazed by how Jim brings everything together perfectly with no stress. 💙
Just opened up my Fishlocker hoodie for Christmas and really hope Jim can carry on his great work and show us what to do with the turkey leftovers. Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas
We shall do our best.
Spargo Christmas Dinner looks lush and look forward to some ideas for leftovers
It was delicious. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I guessed that you had it twice lol
By far, my favourite vid from Spargo's Kitchen... Lot's of leftovers for Bubble 'n' Squeek the next day.
Thanks for bringing us some amazing uploads throughout the year John, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and an even better new year!
Thank you very much mate and have a wonderful Christmas. 😊
merry christmas to you and your family john 😊 all the very best
Thank you Ben. 😊🎄
"Happy" Christmas in the UK
Looks great! Going for crown also and good to see the Brussel sprouts.
I do a good chestnut stuffing also👍
P.s orderded a few cheeky starters from M&S but going to do Brie tartlets. Tempted to make some puff pastry (lost my recipe though) and make a savoury bread with olives and sun dried tomatoes.
All sounds good to me bud. 👍🏻😊🎄
AWESOME ! Thanks so much for sharing, I truly enjoyed watching that :)
Made me a bit homesick, I am overseas for many years already, usually I would come back to the UK for a Christmas dinner much the same as Jim made which my Mum would cook.
Sadly this year she passed so I wont be back this Christmas but watching that made me feel very happy and bought me happy memories of her :)
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a Great 2023!
Cheers, Rob.
P.S. I am with Jim on the Bread sauce, it makes the meal, me and my twin brother always needed a serving dish each to ourselves :)
I am sorry for your loss my friend and happy if we could help you relive some happy memories. Best wishes and have a great Christmas. 😊🎄
@@TheFishLocker Thanks so much :)
Beautiful meal and excellent instructions! Thank you all for another great video!
It is our pleasure Julianne. 😊
You lot will sleep well after scoffing that lot!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for all the fab content this year.definetly one of my favourite youtube channels! Quality mate!👍
It is our pleasure Nigel. 😊
To the Fishlocker. All videos of the Boat and James and Jims cooking and of course You John the videos are AMAZING. Love them All.x
Oh my goodness, thank you so much, always Christmas alone with Brok & Brad, so you bring me so much joy, James, John, Hannah, Jim, Carole and the shy one, how kind, greetings from Cyprus.
We are simply sharing what we love in the hope it helps. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker IT DOES!!
Again another fantastic video! The camera definition is amazing from our perspective guys.
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Oh this was the last thing I expected, A spargo's kitchen Xmas vid!!!! Only 5 minutes in and so excited :)
People had asked for this in the comments of other cooking videos so we thought we would give it a try. 😊
Here in the US, that cut of turkey is just called a whole turkey breast. They are the only turkey I buy. You get the best part of the turkey and there are enough bones in the breast to make a soup after. I always buy a heritage turkey breast at the local Amish market. They run about 12-14 lbs just for the breast! I never miss the whole bird.
Wowza. Thems some big birds!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Thank you for showing us a wonderfully prepared meal! :)
It is our pleasure. 😊
Looks absolutely delicious, Jim!!! Thank you for filming this for us!! Also,, Hi and Happy Holiday's to everyone else as well!
It is our pleasure. Best wishes and merry Christmas. 😊🎄
thank you for sharing your favorite family dinner recipes they are always very delicious and spargos should start his own cooking channel because he is a very informative chef in the kitchen and have a super happy and merry Christmas
Why would Jim need his own channel? He has this one.
@@TheFishLocker so true would be nice to see him cook more often
Outstanding! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year
My pleasure mate. Best wishes to you and yours Andy. 😊👍🏻
Yummy 🤤
I’ve said it before, n I’ll say it again - Jim should open a restaurant or open his own channel !! I know he’s done his hardwork and retired, but his talent should not be forgotten!👍
All the best to you and yours from me and mine - Merry Christmas x
He has had restaurants and hotels all his life. He has earned his retirement.
Would love to see a video on things to do with leftovers. I always appreciate these videos, they give me some confidence to try doing things myself.
We shall try and film one. 👍🏻😊
Everything looks so yummy, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!
Thank you and best wishes to you and your family. 🎄😊
Smashing spread as usual John, Happy Christmas and happy new year to you and your family!!
Thank you Paul. 😊
Oh, my that looks sooo good. Can smell it from here. Haven't had a roast for Christmas for so many years. It's usually about 40C here at that time, it's all BBQ and salads.
Haha. Crazy!!
To say thanks for all Fishlocker videos. They are The Best.x
Thanks Jim for your christmas menu .Seen a lot good tips there.cannot do that in those hideous air fryer.
An artist at work .Mery Christmas
Merry Christmas Stephen and best wishes.
Wow. All that done by one cook in an extraordinary amount of time. I’ve saved the episode for next Xmas except I suspect it will be a whole team in my kitchen 👍. Absolutely beautiful Xmas fare. Kudos to the chef 👨🍳
Jim is magnificent in the kitchen isn’t he. 😊
Absolutely fantastic, have had to watch this in very beautiful segments because I foolishly ended up in hospital, still there and my hospital Christmas Dinner was not a patch on Jim's, there is another magic ingredient to this meal the family love which makes it so special, will really look forward to the left overs special, thanks for all your hard work.
I hope you are getting well?
@@TheFishLocker Thanks so much it will take a while unfortunately but my aim hopefully at some point this year or next is to walk on a Cornish beach and see the numerous things I have missed which you so brilliantly point out. All the best for the new year to all your family.
I hope you all enjoyed eating that as much as I enjoyed watching it, greetings to you all, regards
I went round twice it was that good!! 👍🏻😊💙
A absolute joy to watch!
Glad you enjoyed the video Wayne. 😊👍🏻
Looks Great! Enjoy!
Thank you. 👍🏻🎄
A great feast there John. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas, and all the best.
Thank you Lee and best wishes mate.
Spoiling us again! This year since finding your channel, thanks to you and Jim we have eaten 2 types of fish we have never tried. Discovered that cooking and eating your pumpkin flesh and seeds is far better than just using it as a lantern! and had hours of lovely lobster pot and fishing videos to enjoy.
Happy Christmas to you and all your family 💜💜 Roll on 2023 for more of the same 😊😊
Merry Christmas to you guy and have a wonderful festive period. 😊🎄
What a lovely meal. Congrats Dad !! Merry Christmas all !!!
Thank you. 😊
a lovely video, A Happy Christmas and Prosperous New year to the Fishlocker and Spargo families.
Thank you very much. 😊
@@TheFishLocker hope Christmas was good. Always great to see Jim in the kitchen, and I know Hannah is busy with her competition shows, but if she has time, and will, I think we're due for a Mrs. Fishlocker cookup video.
Ahh very special, looks absolutely delicious 😋
Merry Christmas to you and family 🎄❤️
Thank you Fran and have a wonderful day. 😊
What a meal, man that Spargo can cook🤘🏼😋🤘🏼, happy holidays to all

🎄🎆🎇✨🎉🎊
It is our pleasure. 😊💙
Rather different to what we have down in Australia! In my family we have roasted meats (Usually Lamb, Pork and Chicken) with Roast Potatoes, salad and of course our lovely summer Prawns!
My favourite roast of all is a pork roast.
Happy Christmas to you John and to your family
Thank you Michael. 👍🏻😊
Wow Jim, I love your cooking, from the heart, it all looks amazing & you have inspired me to get back in the kitchen & have a go, Happy New Year to you all😊
Good man Tim. Best wishes for 2024. 👍🏻
