As always you two make great videos, capturing dawn and dusk and everything in-between.
Those Crayfish looked absolutely yummy and very like Lobster just smaller. .Lobster were so plentiful here years ago farmers used them as ferterlizer and they were regarded as poor mans food. We were at the cottage for the weekend hence the late response to this video,it was warm but lots of showers. The Lobster stock declined but have now recovered well due to strict licensing and size control, an enormous amount are exported to the US and as far away as China, the price varies considerably during the season but we usually manage a couple of good feeds. This vlog highlights your love of nature with some wonderful shots of your environment. Thanks so much Marina and Myles ,take care enjoy historic Oxford a wonderful city .
Cheers from a rather moist Canada XX
Here in Louisiana, USA, we boil, usually 80 to 120 lbs of crayfish, at one time. And we season them with a lot of red pepper. You let them cool down, then twist off the tail. You smash the tail sideways in two. Then pull out the meat. If the claw is big enough you use a mallet or the handle of a solid knife to break it. Crayfish are to eat. If you are serious about catching crayfish, google crayfish traps. Like your blog. Crain
Such a great vlog. There is so much strife and unrest here in The States! Your vlogs are so peaceful. Thanks you two.
Wow! A couple of those Crayfish were huge. That brought back memories of my dad and uncle netting Crayfish, they would come home with buckets of them. I must say, I often envy your life on the river, it seems so peaceful and uncomplicated compared to the rat race most of the rest of us endure. Thanks for another enjoyable episode. Smooth sailing, see you next week.
What a nice relaxing vlog nice to see u having a good time on the rope swing 😀, and having ur evening row to enjoy the beautiful sun sets. Its amazing it doesn't seem a year ago u were at Henley-on-Thames at the Regatta with Zoe & yello. Take care
Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for the video…they are always pleasant to watch…stay safe and take care ! !
Those cray fish looked awesome, you got my mouth watering
thanks for the comment and watching!
That's biggest crayfish I have seen, good eating 💯💯. Really love the sunsets on your videos, so Beautiful 😍. We used catch them at grandfather camp under rocks in the river 😀.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed 💜 xx
Lovely lifestyle. So enjoy every one of your vlogs. Can’t imagine how nice it must be to live on a river in summer. ❤️
I needed a good laugh tonight, and “NO, NO LICKING THE BOAT” did the trick! Maybe you should make t-shirts?
That big white fish was a Ghost Carp. An ornamental version of a mirror or common carp. Similar to a Koi carp. Probably put in the river from someone's pond 😁
It was so amazing to see such a huge fish 💜 xx
@@CruisingAlba I used to work on a fish farm where we used to breed them. They're totally harmless.
Did you just boil them or did you add any seasoning? Here in America we eat a lot of them and suck the juices from the head and bite the meat out of the tail. If you have never seen watch some videos of folks do a low crab mud bug boil. Folks cook huge bags at a time with lots of extra things added in they are so delicious. Those were quite big and I’m sure very good. So enjoy your videos. Susan
Really varied, interesting and enjoyable watch. You are certainly living an wonderful life style. Thanks for sharing.
That was a bloody big fish ... love the videos and now know who's the master of editing ... all the best both 🙂
So relaxing to watch 💜💜💜
Thank you Lynda 💜 xx
After 4 years of canal boating I've ventured onto the Thames at Oxford and it's totally amazing
Well done Simon, isn’t it just beautiful 😍
The fish was a ghost carp
Wow must say I love cray fish. We’ll done you enjoy.
Okay, that's the rustiest spanner/wrench I have seen in a long time. :D
Thanks for using Farenheit, when referring to the temperature. When folks from the UK use Celsius or your temperature scale. Most folks like myself are not going to bother to look up the conversion.
Loving them sunsets!
Henley again! Looking forward to seeing that!
Nice fishing and preparing
Thanks for your kind words lovely 💜 xx
Weheeey back to the plank boarding spot at the end !
Wow so many crayfish ! That crayfish sandwich looked amazing!! Really shows how they have taken over from the native ones , you caught so many of the invasive ones and not found a single native :(
how do you tell the difference for sure please? i've looked at photos and can't see a reliable difference.
@@MsVanorak They have a whiteish dot on the top of their claws and a red colour on the bottom of their claws. they also have smooth head/bodies
Hi Marina and Myles. Marina, may I say how pretty you look with your hair ribbon (or band) . It really suits you. Loving you both on the rope swing, Is that the same swing from last year? Beautiful Sunsets too. I have never eaten Crayfish. Do they taste like crab. This week's Vlog was such a nice relaxing watch. An excellent Vlog. Thank you. Have a great week. Take care.
taste like a cross between a prawn and lobster :)
Yummy crawdads!
"Crawfish" or "crawdad" are more common names for "crayfish" in the American south.
Amazing 👏
Great video.
Hope you have a licence to catch the signal crayfish? The fines for not having one are horrific and the trap must be an approved and tagged Environment Agency one. Plus you'll need to get permission from the angling club that controls that section of river. Check the Gov. site responsible for licencing. Would hate to see you guys get in trouble.
Lovely ghost koi there. Probably escaped from a pond during winter floods.
they are invasive, non natives. it is illegal to RETURN one to the water if you accidentally catch one. the native species is endangered and protected and fishing is not permitted.
Was a lovely goasty common carp looks 20 lb plus
Nice vid. What happened to your outboard engine?
Hi Paul, its missing a tiny part so out of service at the moment.
yum yum
crayfish are good eating with some seasoning.not so the carp
How long do you keep the crayfish in fresh water before eating also so you keep them in flowing fresh water
between 24 - 48 hours. You could potentially keep them in flowing fresh water but for us part of it is cleansing out any toxins which could be found in the rivers
Did you have a licence to catch crayfish ??
Thanks for a relaxing video
2 questions, 1, why are crayfish invasive?; and 2, is Myles still able to get to work. I still love the river traveling the best to watch and daydream about.
the americans introduced Signal Crayfish into our waterways because they are bigger (in the world) but they have bred like wildfire and the smaller native uk crayfish is losing habitat/food competition.
For some reason, I thought you were vegan. Eating from the river, how fabulous x
Marina is veggie and I do eat meat but much less than I used too
How do UK river crawfish taste?
Amazing!!!! mix between a giant prawn and lobster !
Any plans for your 100th episode?
Not yet! 💜 xx
Please be careful I do believe its illegal to trap crayfish without a licence well it is on my local cut anyway
not the invasive 'merican ones.
@@MsVanorak yes even the invasive ones
@@davidhopkins9021 it's illegal to put one of those back in the water if you accidentally catch it.
@@MsVanorak I know so u have to throw it in the hedge and let nature take its course
Eating invasive crayfish species should be encouraged, but dont get caught with a white native as the fines are phenomenal
The white fish is an ornamental ghost koi
don't mention 'colour' 😏
😎✌🏻
Oit is against the law to catch young cray fish yo should put small ones back in
On the contrary, it illegal to put Signal Crayfish back in the water when caught, they are that bad for the environment
Being vegan I had to whiz through the beginning part of the vlog, apart from that a great vlog. It’s so lovely where you’re moored especially in the summer. You two are my favourite vlogers. Amazing sunset, you should try painting one if you’re still watercolour painting Miles. Those naughty cows. 😀 X
Thanks for watching Shirley! The sky on the watercolour painting was inspired by Oxford, Myles should certainly paint more 💜 xx
@@CruisingAlba Oh I didn’t see the watercolour painting was it in this episode? I was kinda skipping through this one because I’m vegan, or was it in another if in an another episode which one? I’d love to see it as I’m a water colourist too, I started painting in the first lockdown. Sunsets are my favourite subject. Have a good weekend you two. X
Have to say, I cannot understand the attraction of boiling animals alive!
They were not alive we can assure you!
How do u purge the dirt and canal filth out of then first ???
