  • Coastal Foraging - Spring tide coastal foraging for Lobsters, Crabs and Clams.
    I was trialling a new camera setup on this session and unfortunately the wind noise was very bad. I have done what I could but I apologise if the audio quality is not up to our usual high standard.

    - This was filmed before the UK lockdown was initiated. It is my feeling that we all need to obey the governments instructions and remain locked down to control this horrible virus. No one loves their fishing more than I, but the safety of others is far too important. You will not die if you do not go fishing. But someone else might if you do. My son for example. Or someone’s mother or father. Stay home, stay safe. 😊👍🏻

    I recently stumbled across this channel, and it actually helped solidify my decision to stop being a vegan. I haven't been feeling well for a while and seeing how incredibly respectful you are of the ocean and the creatures that you take to eat has shown me that eating animals can be far from inhumane. The way you talk about the fish and take only what you need is truly inspirational. A really special channel, thank you for sharing it with us xx

      - Gracie it really is our pleasure. That what you have just said truly is what I hope people see when they watch our channel. It is a lesson we are also teaching out children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. Hopefully our videos will encourage others to adopt our approach and respect for the natural world. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely day. :D
      P.s. Have you seen our recent video foraging for Spider Crabs. If you enjoyed this then I think you will enjoy that too.

      Been much debate on if lobsters feel pain based on their primitive nervous system. But its a good idea to do it anyway, just in case and in practice.

    Watching you forage reminds me of me and my Grandmother, she used to let me stay home from school and she'd put on a pair of gollashes and we'd walk along the river at low tide, she showed me how to lift the rocks and find crawfish and eels, and snails and fresh water mussels in the mud. She also taught me how to skip stones across the water, I learned more from her than I ever could in school. Thank you for bringing back those fond memories.

    I live along the beach in Washington State, US. I absolutely love going out and foraging the flats during low tide. I wish we had lobster here! But we've got a lot of Rock Crab, Dungeness Crab, Cockles, Manilla Clams, Butter Clams, Varnish Clams, Horse Clams and Mussels. Its a great day to spend it walking about and finish it with a tasty bake at the end! Love watching these foraging videos. Can't wait for the lockdown to be over and I can get out there again!
