Absolutely love watching your father-in-law cook. He is truly a God send! You have a wonderful family and I enjoy watching your videos immensely.
Jim is simply wonderful isn’t he. 😊💙
A lovely meal. He seems like quite a gentleman, wish I could sample his food.
Brilliant, lovely to see a family unit,cooking and eating together, Jim is a legend, keep it up 👏👏👏
Thanks Paul. 😊👍🏻
Paul, you forgot to add that the laughter added such FUN! to the meal. A truly WONDERFUL gathering and thanks for taking us along! Much appreciated!
And I enjoyed Jim's close up, thanks for leaving it in the video! I also enjoy all the cooking clips, wheather on the beach or in Spargo's Kitchen! I've wished many times that I had access to fresh seafood.
So WONDERFUL you're living the life! ENJOY every moment!
@@nancys2212 the close up was genius, I still smile now thinking about that, Johns sense of humour is great and obviously very knowledgeable about his passion, a pleasure to watch 👍🏼
The fact you’re such a mindful forager makes my heart happy. People come and destroy our zones in California all the time or often over harvest. We have a whole branch of law enforcement in the states for it
It hurts me to see people do it here. I hope our videos will go some way to educate people in the proper way to do it. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I agree! I think you’re doing wonderful work :))
Happiness is learning recipes from Uncle Jim and learning biology and good conservation ethics from Uncle John. Both of you are very talented. Thank you for sharing your time and experience!
It is our pleasure. 😊
Great video. I didn’t know that Jim was Hannah’s father. Learn something new every day. What a lovely family.
Every day is a school day. 😉
What a lovely sustainable meal. Great to see the family enjoying themselves.
Glad you enjoyed joining us. 😊
Yeaaaaah bring on the spargos kitchen! Love that James is getting more and more involved!
He’s a little star isn’t he. 😊
Love this so much. Anytime Jim and the family are in the video's something magical happens.
We are a family run channel and we make family videos. 😊
Jim is a funny man..😁
And a great cook...
He surely is. 😊
Thank you all, so entertaining. . It looked delicious.
It really was.
Waw! Yum yum yum 😋
Thanks Jim & John!
Any time Craig.
So much fun to all be in the kitchen together. I liked the way Jim used the bread rolls as a cup to serve the clam chowder. I bet it was delicious.
It was a clever idea.
Love these night time foraging videos, makes me want to get some warm clothes on and get out there myself 🙂
Go for it. 😊😊
Me too.....I'm going to forage down at the local supermarket....I know there are an abundance of them there....lol
Love this! Well done guys, it was lovely to see the laid back family way of showing how to prepare the food you source from nature! Look forward to seeing more like this!
Thank you Tim. Have a great day.
Howdy John & Crew!! Always love watching Jim create the masterpieces of culinary art from the seafood finds you catch!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video Ken. 👍🏻
Feeling a tad hungry now, great vlog and hats off to the chef doing diff menus catering for diff food needs in a short space of time in a kitchen set up........kudos
Jim is fabulous in the kitchen isn’t he.
John watching your videos really makes my day! Also seeing Jim recover so well and do what he loves is very reassuring. My father had a stroke as well and I hope every day he will be as full of life as your dad in law is! God bless 🙌
James is a true gent. One of the best men I have ever known. I hope your father is well. 😊
I'll pop down and clean his kitchen , all the pots and pans just taste some of his cooking . thanks mate for another brilliant video .
Any time Dave. 😊👍🏻
I also saw your previous video. I enjoy seeing you and your son. I have three girls, and when they were kids, I took them fishing as often as I could. I would love to try some of Jim's dishes. They always look very tasty. If you make it back to the US again, bring Jim and look me up. Very much enjoy your CZcams videos.
We had a lovely time by the shore having a little camp fire. Good times. 😊👍🏻🔥
Love to see what he will do with a Yellow fin tuna. It was amazing what he made from an Octopus. Amazing cook. 👏👏👏
Sadly we do not get yellowfin tuna here.
Always such a joy to see a new Fish Locker Vid
Glad you enjoy them Leslie. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Not hard when content is top quality :)
Wish someone would kick me out of the sink haha 😄. Thanks for sharing another beautiful moment with your family and extended family
Haha. Glad you enjoyed joining us mate.
Another great family meal. Love to watch your family working together and enjoying life.
Glad you enjoy it 👍🏻😊
Simply wonderful! And Jim's comment "Ive got a great face for radio!" made me laugh out loud. Keep em coming! Take care, Graham.
He’s a star isn’t he. 🤣🤣
Big fan of Spargo! I'm excited that you have a Spargo's playlist. I'm off today so I know I'll be watching a few episodes.
I hope you enjoy them. 😊👍🏻
That looked as delicious as I bet it tasted !!Thanks for sharing 👍
Any time Stuart. 👍🏻😊
John, that knob of butter was massive, way over what most would normally consider to be a knob! I don't want you setting unrealistic expectations!
What can I say. I’m a big knob type of guy. 🤣
Good wholesome entertainment. I will probably never do these recipes myself, but well done, a joy to watch.
Glad you enjoyed joining us. 👍🏻
"That's a considerable nob John" can't beat a bit of kitchen talk 😂
What can I say? I’m a big kid really. 😬
I don’t fish and don’t eat it much either but love watching your channel, jim is pure class. Such a kind soul
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker as are you squire, your knowledge and the care you take of the environment around you is inspiring. Keep up the good brother✌️
Great to see the story from foraging, or, catching the seaford, to its preparation and finally the family being treated to a slap up meal cooked by the superb cook Jim. Nirvana !!!
Glad you enjoyed the journey. 😊
Jim is just simply amazing. I love your catch and cook videos at Spargo’s kitchen.
Thank you Jeanette. 😊
Wonderful. We all wanted to be there with you. Thanks to your skills... we were.
It is our pleasure sir. 😊
As always, a pleasure to watch you and your family enjoying Jim's culinary skills and turning out some amazing dishes.🍲🥣
Thank you all for sharing.👍👍
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
It is our pleasure Ian. Take care and best wishes to the family 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Sorry.🥺 JIM'S culinary skills. 🫣
Edited. Sorry.
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Is it bad that I want to make sure your father in law is stocked in goldfish for life?! You guys are incredible to watch and I am always thrilled to see you guys interact and just let the ocean fuel your family time!
Haha. Every time we go to the US we bring him some back. 🤣
Alright, I'm catching up on some old videos and GOD BLESS YOU and the Spargo kitchen. We have had bizarre weather here in the USA and today in Texas on Good Friday it is going to be cold. I have a tin of baby clams and was thinking of making my husband clam chowder but didn't know how to make it from scratch. Usually I open a soup can and throw in more stuff to make it better. I am DEFINITELY saving this vidoe in my YT collection of recipe videos. I have all the ingredients already in my fridge to make this claim chowder. Since my husband is Muslim and doesn't eat bacon I will swap it out for beef sausage because here in the South it's smoked and has a great smoky flavor. So excited to try this recipe tonight. Will use milk and heavy whipping cream.
Sounds wonderful. Let us know how it goes. 😊💙
I get so hungry for seafood after your videos...
Same here
I get hungry in filming, again in editing and when I am doing the comments. 🤣
Would love a dogfish cook video.
Really enjoy watching Jim cooking,would like to see the dog fish catch and cook
We’ll have a crack at it Martin. 👍🏻
Thank you for showing us how to cook clam chowder 🙏
It is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Jim, John, and team Spargo, thank you for a very good reason to keep going, I loved this and wish Jim had his own cooking programme it would be so good. I used to cook all the time and loved creating new tastes, now Jim has given me the energy and excitement to keep trying.
Jim has worked long enough, he is happy to help up out but is winding down in his retirement. 😊👍🏻
I love watching Jim and your family interact you all look to be having such a great time. SPARGO"S kitchen makes the best food i am so jealous i cant be there eating those chowders with you. The only thing i would do different is i would use at least 10 cloves of garlic. But i love garlic more then the average guy. Yes,to the dogfish and cook i think it is a good idea to get more people eating dogfish since all the videos i watch these are thrown back. I think its the name maybe if they were called something else more people would eat them. This would take some of the pressure off other overfished species. Thankyou for another great video and as always stay safe out there!🙂
That is something I was hoping we could do. By showing that the sustainable fish are easily edible we can help everyone.
Bloody hell and Wow again mate this was spectacular great to see yer first mate vaporising onions and Wor Jim cooked up a Storm again both dishes looked so tasty,you is lucky to have a talented chef in the FAM. Well done John totally loved it fella thankyou
Glad you enjoyed joining us mate. 😊👍🏻
He has an unique speech style as he takes unusual pauses when speaking. Thanks for sharing the lovely chowder dishes 🤤😋
That is the after effects of a stroke.
@@TheFishLocker I thought it might be neurology based condition. He has recovered really well and is an amazing cook! I love how you have fresh local seafood and fresh veggies and herbs from his allotment. I look forward to more of these foraging and cooking videos 😊
I think that showing the love and happiness you have with all your family is fantastic, spargos kitchen is very knowledgeable, bur where are his Christmas socks, love the shows and a very merry Christmas to you all Xx
Thank you Carl. 😊👍🏻
Definitely would like to see the dogfish/bull huss catch and cook.
We shall see what we can do John. 👍🏻
Jim is correct. I use almond or oat milk for soups. However I keep a closer eye on the heat. It will scorch quicker then dairy. Another wonderful video. Thank you John.
Good tip. 👍🏻
How Lucky you all are excellent fisherman excellent chef and very happy family living in a beautiful part of uk love watching your videos thanks for posting them and letting us enjoy along with you
It’s not hard to see why we love doing this so much. 😊💙
I love it when spargo’s kitchen is in the vid! Everything Jim makes looks so tasty!🤤
Jim is simply wonderful isn’t it. 😊👍🏻
a Dogfish Catch and Cook would be amazing Always Love Spargo's Kitchen Segment XD
Thank you for the feedback Leslie. 😊👍🏻
I LOVE the Catch and Cooks! Bring on the dogfish!
Understood. 😊👍🏻
Another great video, and a prime example of only taking what you need. I HATE seeing people take more then leave what they don't use to waste. Distasteful. It's always good to see you on here demonstrating responsible foraging. That being said, I'm a HUGE fan of scallops and those looked amazing. I'm jealous of you LOL.
Thank you Don. I hope that message transfers across in the videos. Take care and have a lovely day. 😊
Lovely video, Jim is a legend and the bit when he was filming himself for a few seconds was brilliant. Catch and cook videos are so heart warming. Would love to see a Kedgeree recipe.
Haha. He does make us laugh. 🤣
Absolutely would love to see a dogfish catch and cook. Love the show!
👍🏻😊
Jim can come cook for me anytime. He seems to enjoy being on video. Great fresh harvest.
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊👍🏻
What a lovey bunch and a beautiful cozy home. God Bless and Happy New Year
Thank you sir and take care 😊
wow that man's cooking is amazing looking makin me hungry :) and @The Fish Locker nice haul of seafood u got there
Thank you. 😬🐚
I love your content so much. It's a refreshing escape from the drama of the world. 😊
Thank you. Simple, honest and no B/S. 👌🏻
I look forward to the cooking part of the catch...great vid John.
Thank you Tom. 😊👍🏻
You are both a great team! One supplier and the other creates with your produce. Excellent.
Team work. 💪🏻
Loved that looked fantastic well done as always Jim. And fair play would drive me mad having so many people in the kitchen while I was cooking haha 🎣
He takes everything in his stride. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker he sure does a true gentleman. Mini chedder advent calendar would be a perfect gift as he seems to have a endless supply haha 😄 hopefully you will find the other crackers .when I googled it just said plain bread crackers but like every recipe everyone has there favourites .always brilliant anyway mate best channel on CZcams by far 👏🏻
I remember when I was 6/7 and my parents were in their 20’s (a very VERY long time ago) my dad took me whelk picking at our local patch at the weekend. I loved whelks and we got a ton of em that summers day.
My dad cooked em all up and we got tucked in. When the weekend was over I begged my mum to let me take a bag of whelks to school and she foolishly let me. It was just before the summer holidays so it was really warm that day. I’m sure you can see were this is going John.
Of course I ended up with bloody food poisoning and couldn’t stop vomiting and ever since then I can’t even look at a whelk.
I do still love some cockles and scallops though. Especially scallops. I didn’t know you can find them just walking along the beach at low tide though. You learn something new every day.
Oh dear me. 🤢
My favorite Fish Locker video: Foraging! My favorite soup in the world: Clam Chowder! Perfect video! And I'm not sure what some people call them but the crackers I always put in my chowder were called Oyster Crackers. They were a puffy hexagonal cracker. Good for when you had a stomach bug too haha. Thanks for sharing as always, John. Tight lines!
It is our pleasure Mike. Best wishes and take care. 😊👍🏻
Fantastic food and plenty of hilarity, what more could you ask for. 👍
An extra serving? 😬👍🏻
Honestly John, I’d watch you catch anything and then watch Jim cook it! Lol! Always great videos!
Understood.
Love theses videos catch and cook with family food looks soooo delicious
Glad you enjoy them Dawn. Take care and have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻
That was another great catch and cook John, Massive creds to Jim , he’s a genius! appreciate efforts by all 👍🏼👍🏼
Any time bud. Have a good one. 👍🏻
Absolutely fantastic! I'm again left dribbling over my keyboard! I've experienced some incredible chowder's around the world, and those two looked a match for any of them. Up until now I've been one of those people who loves a good rich chowder, but has no idea how a chowder works! That changed this evening :) Thank you so much for sharing :)
Well I can whole heartedly recommend both of those we cooked in this video. Let us know if you manage to try them. 😊👍🏻
Another fantastic "Jimisode", just what I needed today. Sorry John, you guys are cool too lol x
Haha. No offence taken Dan. 🤣😉
Fantastic to see dog-fish fingers catch & cook
😉👍🏻🐕🐟
That's a considerable knob John 😂 great video guys.
To some people maybe 😉
That's a considerable knob, John! So says the master chef 😅
🤣
Another fun video with family. Definitely would like to see catch, clean and cook dogfish 🙂
Understood. 😊🐕🐟
Definitely go for the dogfish catch and cook, lads! Thanks for the cracker video. The chowder looks gorgeous!!
Understood. 👍🏻🐕🐟
I love your videos with Jim cooking! So now I know how clam chowder is made. In New England the cockles are referred to as little necks. Great video!!!
Glad you enjoy the videos Elizabeth. 😊👍🏻
I love clam chowder and drooling over this.
Delicious isn’t it. 😊👍🏻
That was so fun to watch, your dad cooks like a chef. I have my own recipe for Clam chowder but I'm sure going to show this to the wife and let her try it. It looked soooo good.
Jim is my father in law. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker You're a lucky lad John.....Jim is a diamond, look after him matey.
Your show takes me to where your at makes me smile
I am glad you enjoy joining us.
I make smoked turkey chowder with sweet corn and wild rice as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. People eat so much of it that they are full when its turkey and mashed potato time. And the name of the proper cracker is ‘Oyster Crackers’. Another classic cracker is broken up ‘Chicken in a Biskit’. Those are even more delicious. As always, heartwarming content. Perfect food for the weather.
That sounds wonderful.
Jim was in his element on this one John! What a fun post to experience! Now you have a mission brother. I want to see Jim make something tasty out of the thing you hate the most. Dogfish. When he was rattling off species and he got to that, I'll bet you had a piss shiver or a cold chill! Loved this post John. Thank you and love home brother.
Haha. I did have a little chuckle inside. 🤣🐕🐟
Fantastic entertainment as always. I have not had cockles for a long time. Watching Jim cook always makes me hungry, the food looks delicious. Well done catcher and cooker.
Thank you very much. 😊👍🏻🐚
I wish I had grown up in England. The most lovely people on Earth.
Stick to the coast for the best people. 😉
James is a credit to you mate, and you're a credit to him. 👍
James is a little superstar isn’t he. 💙
@@TheFishLocker. Deffo mate. He's learning so much and making some great memories. It's great to see. 👍
I live on the east coast of New England in the United States. The crackers you are talking about are oyster crackers. New England clam chowder and Manhattan clan chowder are regulars in the winter here.
Thank you for the info. 😊👍🏻
Yes! A Jim episode!
😊👍🏻
Thanks for another wonderful video Fish locker fam 😊
What a wonderful looking meal! I'm inspired to get cooking myself. I appreciate the substitution suggestions
I was simply trying to think about people with allergies/intolerances etc. 👍🏻
Great foraging video, cooking video made me hungry
Thank you Paul. 👍🏻😊
A meal fit for a king.
Yes. 😊
"Put it all in! Let's be outrageous" ..
Hit me hard!
😬
Great catch & cook vid, looks really nice. Well done to all.
Thank you Anthony. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thumbs up from Kentucky, U.S.A.
Thank you.
We call them oyster crackers, kinda funny cuz their are no oysters in them! I like using the plain goldfish crackers!! They are even better and suit the meal your having, shaped just like fish!! Lol thanks again Jon and Jim !!!❤❤❤
We like the goldfish crackers too. Every time we visit the states we get them. 😊👍🏻
Thanks John, It's always lovely seeing you with your family all together..
That Chowder looks beautiful! I would have to miss out the Clams though, I like anything and everything that comes out of the sea but I never really took to clams for some reason.
As for the doggies I've not been able to get it for years! A lot of chippies used to sell it as Rock Salmon.
Another thing chippies used to do was Skate Wings.
Rock salmon was often Spurdog. Not cat shark dogfish. 😉
Chuffed when a see a new fish locker vid up 👍.
Had a bit man flu over the weekend so was stuck in and binge watched a load, best content on CZcams lad 🙌
Hope you’re feeling better mate. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker cheers matey right as rain 👍
Loved the Goldfish crackers I bought back from Canada mate, delicious !!
Haha. They are good aren’t they.
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Any time Martin.
Well up for watching a doggy catch and cook, John! Bring on the rock and chips 😂
Hope you and the family are well. Thanks to you and Jim for another great video! Food looked delicious 👌
We’ll see what we can do mate. 😊👍🏻🎣
nice work on the plate.. solid as usual
Cheers buddy. 😊👍🏻
Well done Jim and spargo kitchen once again it all looks delicious , I always love your channel John great content all round , would love to see a bull huss or dogfish catch and cook I have heard how hard it is to skin a dogfish
We shall make it happen Paul. 👍🏻😊
Yeah. Would also love to see dogfish cooked. In several ways. :)
Hi John, absolutely love the channel…. I live in Nova Scotia and the lobster season just opened in the zone where you found the tag a couple videos ago. Crazy to think it made its way all the way to you! Thanks for putting out quality, family oriented content, it’s much appreciated :)
It really is mind blowing. It really is a small world isn’t it!! 😊👍🏻🦞
Yes please, a dog fish catch and eat 😋. We enjoy all of your videos!
Thank you Julie, we'll get to it. 😊
