A days shrimping on the Suffolk coast
Вставка

- Armed with nothing more than a push-net and a cartridge bag, Steve harvested a few pints of shrimp only a stone's throw from Simon's house. I was intrigued by his tales, and despite being a landlubber with an aversion to getting wet, I foolishly agreed to go out shrimping with him at the next opportunity.
Steve made his push-net in a similar way to how he imagined the late television presenter Jack Hargreaves would have done so. Trawling through his cluttered shed, he found an old carp-landing net, a few broom shanks and some cable ties (which, like duct tape, is an invention I'm sure Jack would have appreciated). A fruitful few hours spent sawing, thumping, snipping - and swearing - resulted in a shrimp push-net of some quality. This flat-pack net was designed to be carted about easily on a pushbike, the mode of transport used when shrimp netting was last in vogue.
Once the push-net was assembled, Steve picked it up and stomped off towards the sea with intent. He was wearing protection on his feet to avoid the danger of being stung by a weever fish, which would undoubtedly have curtailed our foray and dampened his enthusiasm.
Experience bequeaths that the secret of a push-net is the angle of the scraper and the way it caresses the seabed. With the sea lapping just above his knees, Steve pushed his net along, and anything lurking on or just below the sand was immediately caught. Checking it every 50 or so yards, Steve relieved his green net of any non-target species, such as jellyfish and countless crabs, returning them unharmed to the sea, while any shrimp were carefully placed inside his cartridge bag.

Suffolk is a really nice place. I was there in the late 80's. Spent a good amount of time in Aldeburgh. Wonderful people.
thanks for the video I really enjoyed that 👍👍
This video is just lovely. You're like my window in to your world!
The best picnic scene and experience ever.I dreamed a thing like that with my family,catching the food and cook it myself is quite an achievement for me.
Beautiful! ! I do the same on the lincolnshire coast. Best wild food there is and also an excellent fishing bait!
I live along the Florida coast. Very good way to catch shrimp for eating and catching my own bait. Thanks for the demo, great short video.
Well done! We did this in Germany too!!! But with a little bit more success! About 4 to 7 kg in 1 1/2 hours!
Greetings from the other side of the northseacoast!
Great video I can't believe all the negative comments comments about the size of our brown shrimps! Shrimps are shrimps and prawns are prawns as someone commented the glue is in the name. They may be small but they are very tasty and well worth the effort 👍
Yep, in fact they are considered being a real delicacy, a very expensive one too outside the season. LOVE their taste! And from what I'm seeing, the ones the man caught are pretty big. The ones we catch at the Belgian coast are usually by far way smaller, strangely enough. I personally like them a bit bigger to be honest. That would be the september season then. Less a hassle to peel them (yet equally tasteful). :)
Cheers.
Damian Owens add the all up and and a tasty meal loaded with flavor
Thanks for sharing, will try this soon.
Reminds me of doing this with my dad off Bexhill Beach and Camber Sands when I was a kid in the 1970s.I had a go more recently but didn't have much luck
The best cooking method of these small shrimps is deep-fried them! Put one cup of starch into half cup of water and mix evenly before adding shrimps. Cook a pan of corn oil. When it is almost boiling, put the mixture of starch and shrimps into a very large flat round spoon then put the whole spoon into the hot oil. You will have a yummy shrimp cake very soon. Everything is so crispy that you can eat the head, the tail and the shell of the shrimps.
Looks like fun, like the sound track!
Wish I could do that here in Michigan. Fresh out of the water and a simple cleaning and chow down. Excellent video.
The shrimps looking delicious!!!!
Brings back memories of shrimping off seapalling beach as a lad cooking them up and selling them on mums car park to the holiday maker's in the 70s happy days
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed watching it - nice and relaxing feeling to the entire video (maybe the music and the sea gulls cries had something to do with it) , well done.....I feel like having some shrimp right now :)
Looks like an awesome day!
thanks I enjoy watching catching n cooking!
+Lolita Fernandez Its the way to go. Good food and fun catching it...
Nice video, I love prawns we have some big ones here in Australia, they would make awesome bait too
Small prawns that size are bait down here, been diving for banana prawns as long as your hand. My mate was a captain on Kailis prawn trawler out of Exmouth WA and while sorting I think I was eating half kg a day fresh out the nets and into boiling water or on the grill, never got sick of eating those mini lobsters, lol.
jonnywaselectric ほほ
wow grate nice how easy it looks have a grate day
Watching this now I'm gonna go to the seafood market & buy some shrimp for din din!
Lovely film. Amazing how close to the waters edge you can collect them.
+Laurie Harper The first were only a few yards from dry land.
Agree, that suprises me too.
good to see old school methods still been used
Very nice catch!
Excellent music , Trojan Northern Soul mate !
i used to love shrimping and prawns catching at eastbourne beach east sussex
wish I could catch shrimp that close to the edge on the va beach coast line. cheers to all.
great video
I like the music it makes me wanna go to the beach
Easiest, cheapest way to catch shrimp that I have ever seen. Good video.
Nice little day you had there. One question: Does Simon like to do droorwrings?
wow, what a fun retired life.
and spend the remaining 5yrs of your life before u die
great video!
Thanks.
good job
Lovely video set in Gods own county, gonna give it a go myself, what's the best time of year?
Found the music a tad annoying, waves and gulls are enough IMO
Very good
best time to do this is at night. some tides might be better. Also seasons
Perfect net for bait !
'Ello! We just takin' soom prawns with eh tea!
Hi I love shrimp 🍤 and live close to pakefield, what time of year is best for this ? Great vid
So cool
Thanks for the video, very informative, but your captions were right in the way of a lot of what I wanted to see. T
The price is so expensive now use to cycle on horse paths with parents in the 70s just to buy a few pints and sit on pub wall picking them. Then do a 2 hour ride back home on bikes would love to have a Fresh Shrimp tiger Roll size of my fore arm with a kilo of shrimps
Do you need to peel them after cooking?
This was nice and looked like a great family outing too. Does life get better than this?
Woow Awesome
Cool video !! Way different than how we do it in Florida but it’s always interesting to see other methods from around the globe. Just curious.....Are those the average size shrimp in that region or is that just a particular type of shrimp that doesn’t grow as large as other species you may have in your area ? Very small compared to the average sized shrimp we get here in Florida in the rivers and lagoons. I’m sure they tasted great.....it’s hard to beat fresh shrimp.
Yes, that's the average size of our Western European grey shrimp. I think he was fishing later in the season - around mid september - because that's when they get that big as in the video. Their taste is completely different from your local big prawns tho, who need a lot of extra seasoning to taste good. Grey shrimp - when caught on fishing boats - are cooked in seawater so that their taste stays completely natural. But when caught at the beach - like the dude did - it is wise to rinse and cook them in fresh but salted water due to amount of sand the stirred up shore water contains. It affects the taste slightly, but it's still better than grinding down heaps of sand, right? LOL They are a real delicacy, and an expensive one for that matter. This year their price went up to a ridiculous high amount of 20 euros/kilo. I don't think I ever saw the price that high, and I'm 47 years old. Today, as we speak, they go around 10 euros a kilo, which is still a bit high for the season, but fishing boat captains need to pay their crew too I guess.
Cheers.
Ps: here's a video of traditional shrimp fishing with horses in Belgium. :) Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/iKzcE8emHVE/v-deo.html
very nice net. wondering what the dimensions for the net and dimensions for the frame? thanks!
we normally eat them pealed! but I have tried this too!
I also love shrimp, but i just catch it by my hand at nigth, and i also have an improvize net to catch shrimp
Nice 👍
these shrimp are very good for surf perch fishing in newport oregon.
thank you to share this video, I like't !
Too small for my liking, but a lovely free lunch for the family all the same.
No such thing as a free lunch as the saying goes.. Time and effort was spent here.
we have sand shrimp here in cape breton NS, but they're not plentiful enough for this kind of harvesting. you'll see a few of them resting and moving about while swimming at the beach, maybe catch one by hand if you're lucky, but not in any good numbers.
+SirLobsterman Some times we wrongly take for granted what is available until you speak to some one who isn't as fortunate. Thanks.
That would be Pakefield Suffolk UK.
What kind of net is that
cool!!
I’ve never done it I will now,
Is that Ska Music in the Background Sounds Good. Do you suck them out of the shell or peel them
This are call grass shrimp in the US and mostly used as bait , but some asian comunities know how to cook them
You're wrong, completely different species all together. The ones in the states taste of mud.
Pretty Sweet
✌️❤️😁 n 🦐🍤
did you clean them up. .. be for eating them
+Gilbert Vargas Yes of course.
They are tiny softshell shrimp. U just pop them in your mouth whole. These are a lot different from store bought.
wow lovely grub bro
are they too small to eat? :(
Absolutely not. These are fully grown 'shore Brown shrimps' and have more flavour than any of their bigger relatives. Even 'Harrods' sells potted shrimp an English delicacy. Google 'potted shrimp :) Just see what they sell for.
its best to boil them from sea water
Aw-right Mate! Here's $200.00
Send that Net to Florida!! Sold me!!!
I have been right there on that sand and has eaten shrimp from there
Did you buy this net or did you do this?
Nice t shirt and music
Bait!
Can someone please send me some recipes about how to do Seafood plates
aqui no BRASIL nós comemos camarao cem casca e cem cabeça....... eu moro a 100 mts da praia PRAIA DO CASSINO
....do you eat the whole thing?
Is there a reason for not using a "riddle" in order to save taking undersized shrimps and preserve the shrimp population? I ask this because I used to own and work a shrimp boat in Fleetwood and we were governed by the minimum size of netting we were allowed to use and we had to use a riddle to save from taking undersized shrimps. Maybe in Suffolk you are not too interested in conservation.
If You think a shrimp boat and a guy with a net have the same environmental impact, shrimp population is the least of your worries.
Man y'all need some bigger shrimp and some Cajuns to come cook for ya
Backdoor Bubba Brown bro all they added was salt LOL
because they taste that good we dont need to mess with them
The Silverstonedwolf
These are little taste-bomb GREY SHRIMP, not bland pink prawns. Of course it takes a pompeus American to not know the difference between the two. SMFH
@@TheOpelkoenjas * YOU ARE STEPPING ON MY TOE.
Look so easy
why are the shrimp so small??
pony lover The clue is in the name.
No. These shrimp are Crangon crangon, the Brown Shrimp. The species are very small, but can be caught and eaten easily due to their abundance. They're very nice and very frequent, but very small. I just eat them whole.
Baby shrimps i think 🤣
Because they are not prawns, the confusion being everything is shrimp in your dialect, in international English only the very small brown ones are called shrimp
Hi there, is it possible to do this every day and sell the shrimp for a living? Thanks in advance,
How long did it take to catch the shrimps ?
un certain temps!!!!!!
thomassmith1313 30 minutes
What??? No Old Bay seasoning???
Has Ree taylor got a shop by any chance?

"waters not my cup of tea, but i do like a good net"....what the fuck? such a random thing to say
+Bbfishman Water is not my thing BUT I do like a good net. Not random when you work with nets everyday...
the
Such puny small shrimp! Unbelievable.
Roy Rogers Ignorant comment,brown shrimp are possibly the the sweetest and tastiest of the whole prawn family.
Yummy
Why that bad music
sadly, i can't eat shrimp that is too fresh, bc I think I'm allergic to the mercury
therefore, i can eat old frozen shrimp
Mike Jone Yep,that Mercury it just turns my stomach.😳
That's not shrimp, it's krill....lol
I eat that raw. Jumping salad with shoyu lemon and ginger.
...add some Mexican Jumping Beans. Mmmm
D
I like it too...the jumping salad
grim Jim

We had more funny looks because of those pins than the netting and filming on a beach.
Looked like great fun to me ,and I know those shrimp were delicious !
Shrimps YUK sea lice more like it feeding on whatever the sewage system brings,mmmm you can keep them,
