- Coastal Foraging/Exploring - Diving for Spider Crab and Lobster with Beach Cook up Cornwall. Join me for an early morning walk down at Mullion Cove in Cornwall. I show some of the local area, the plants and wildlife then go for a swim and show some incredible underwater sealife. Ending in a lovely family beach cook.

- Here is how we ate the second Spider Crab. Another delicious recipe from Mrs Fishlocker. 😊👍🏻🦀🍽 ua-cam.com/video/79Tm0gl-SS0/v-deo.html
- I know Im biased, but it really was delicious. :D
@@TheFishLocker - Wow, what terrific view down the cliff side at 1:10. That reminds me of the Cliffs of Mohr or where Loop Head lighthouse is situated. What a glorious location you are in.
We
The Fish Locker when you can try getting more than one or two things ... feed your family more food from the sea
I love your vids.
The two crabs look like they gave each other a hug to celebrate living another day.
- Haha. When I was watching them sink back to the bottom it was wondering if they’d keep fighting and hit the seabed or break apart and land safely. 😆🦀
Looks like the guy who would fight you for the last pint but he acts and sounds like the man who would love nothing more than to spend a day fishing with you and teaching you the joys of the ocean. ♡
- Can’t I be both? 😉
Nothing can't stop your can-do attitude, my dude. Go be that man whom you wish to be
where would we be without this man
- Haha. Watching someone else? 🤷🏻♂️
Indian here from the Himalayas. I am not very fond of the deep waters but your videos changed my mind. I am just in love with the opening scenery, the land, the greenary and the ocean. So lucky to be living there.
- Thank you very much and welcome to our channel. I am so glad that you are enjoying our content and it is giving you a different perspective on our oceans. Best wishes and have a great day. :D
I know it sounds weird, but it’s wild to imagine that you can see this beautiful place any time. I’m from Kentucky in America and there is no water here besides lakes and ponds. It is a pretty place, but wow. Your homeland is amazing!
- On a good day I don't think there is a better place on earth than here. I have tried my best to capture some of the stunning natural beauty of our area in our coastal exploring videos but feel it doesn't do it justice. 😊
But in kentucky there is fried chicken so it is also a fine place to be
@@mbk3214 yes, there’s that! The original restaurant too!
@@jessicas2780 if kfc in Kentucky isn’t better than every other kfc out there I’m never going there ever again but I’d also like to try some of those ma and pa places
to be fair, Kentucky is beautiful.
If Spongebob has taught me anything, you can milk those jellyfish for fresh jelly to put on your toast :)
Edit; That seal sure seemed friendly, checkin' out the weird airbreathing creature.. Beautiful critters.
- I'm not saying Spongebob is wrong. But I don't quite feel confident enough to try that on toast just yet. :P
With out a shadow of doubt THE BEST FISHING CHANNEL on UA-cam. Nothing brightens my day like logging on to YT and seeing a new video by the fish locker. Thank you so much for everything you do. Mike
- Mike, it absolutely is our pleasure. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. If you think any of our friends would enjoy the videos please share them on. Take care and have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻🦀🎣💙
We always appreciate a beautiful day with family You couldn't give James a better life or a more loving and nurturing mom than Hannah Thank you for sharing. Enjoy.
- Family time is precious time isn't it. 😊
Hey John.. Your videos are helping me get through this pandemic. You live in such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
- Billy, it is our pleasure. I truly hope that our videos can provide even a short positive distraction for people during these stressful times. Take care and stay safe. 😊👍🏻🦀
Subscribed. Thanks for not being pretentious, and sharing and educating that which is obvious you’re passionate about. So many people but on an act trying to grab viewers attention every waking second, while you allow the surroundings to speak for themselves. Well done, look forward to more.
- Welcome to our channel Joel, I am very glad that you enjoy our channel for what it is. I hope that is what sets us apart from others who try to do what we do. We are not interested in clowning for views, we are simply sharing what we know and love doing. I hope you enjoy working your way through our content and if you have any questions just leave us a comment and I'll get back to you. 😊👍🏻🎣
Yet again another fantastic video from the fishlocker family.
I am a self employed sparky located in South Lincolnshire and have never fished or crabbed in my life, but here I am, hooked (excuse the pun) watching video after video from the fish locker and Smash Fishing to fill the evenings.
These channels provide far greater educational entertainment than whats in the tele, cheers all for the hard work and long let it continue 👍🏼👍🏼
- Glad you’re enjoying our content Adam and finding it interesting. Take care mate 😊👍🏻🦀
I never comment on videos because I don’t have much to say. But today and many times I’ve long to express the joy of seeing such a beautiful place. Thank you for showing us your lovely coast.
- Thank you Elena, and as this is your first time of commenting. Let me officially welcome you to our channel. It is our pleasure to share our videos with you. Best wishes and take care. 😊
A mate recommended your channel last night. Its only approx 24 hours ago and I must have seen 6 or 7 episodes. Great work guys. And your a testament to the importance of son and dad time bonding time! Really good channel
- Thats awesome. Who is your mate? Tell him thank you from us Marc. I am glad that you're enjoying the content and welcome to our channel. If you think any more of your mates would enjoy the videos please share them on. Take care and best wishes to your family. 😊
Loved it! Have not been snorkeling or diving since the late '80s. So beautiful. Thanks. Glad Hannah and James could join you.
- Thank you Connie. It is stunning isn't it. I have said in previous videos that as soon as it is safe enough we would go back to cooking on the beach - lets hope things continue to improve so we can do more of these type of videos.😊
Nothing could be better than enjoying fresh caught crab on the beach with the family...aww man you rock!
- Thank you Jim. We are simply sharing what we love doing my friend. I am glad you enjoyed the video. 😊👍🏻🦀
John you are really working I mean we are really getting it all. We truly love you guys. Thank you for bringing us do much pleasure. And of course Hannah too. Oh and there's the family. The water is so clear and beautiful. What a nice day.
- It is our pleasure Rosemary. We understand that there are things going on in the world that are really bringing people down. I hope that we are able to share a little positivity. 😊💙
THE MOST stunning underwater video I have EVER seen, the colours, the movement of all the plant life and the SEAL!!! This could be here in Australia, what an amazing place to see!!
- I am glad that you enjoyed our video. Stunning isn't it, and a lovely visit from a seal. :) If you think that any of your friends would enjoy the video, please share it on. Best wishes and have a lovely day. :)
@@TheFishLocker I'm always sending your videos to my Dad! He only lives around the corner but he is the one who instilled my love of fishing. I hope Hollywood doesn't get to see it though, because that's a Jane Austen film set if I ever saw one!
DJM 74 - Poldark. 😉 Google it.
Man that blew me away when the Seal popped up! That's so awesome! I've been terrified of the ocean for so long and am starting to get the urge to start conquering that fear. I've been snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef here in Australia and I was mortified haha. So incredible to see a reef drop off into a big blue hole but oh my god it gets my cosmic anxiety flowing. Cheers for the content as always mate, you're a legend.
- Haha. I felt a little that way when I was on the barrier reef. It is just incredible by shear size isn't it. The coastal waters here are equally incredible but for different reasons. I hope that our videos help you conquer your anxiety with the ocean. :D
Scareyaf:. If you're in the water at the GBR you'll never be afraid any ocean in your life. I almost disowned my son for that. He has never been back. IAM sure he wants my stuff when I kick the bucket!!!! Lol
Life is beautiful, when you can harvest sea food & spending time with your family.
Cheers !
- It truly is Richard. 😊
DO MORE OF THE UNDERWATER! Favorite by far. Love the channel. Obsessed.
- No problem. We have been planning this type of video for months. We will do more. 😊👍🏻
Are you freediving? Love your videos btw👌🏻
@@IslanderJena yes this is freediving
@@TheFishLocker Please give us some more of these, the underwater film is enchanting. 😊
Same really good education in sea creatures in the Channel
- I hope you enjoyed our coastal exploring video. Here’s another incredible video that we plan to do a lot more of. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know your opinions. 😊👍🏻🦞🦀🐚 ua-cam.com/video/F2UiYyUeUSI/v-deo.html
😍yes.. enjoyed alot 👍... thanks for your beautiful video...may god bless your family 😍
What a brilliant video, you are so lucky to have all that on your doorstep.
Outstanding vid mate
Love watching your videos as I will probably move to the UK from the Med and the only thing that concerned me was the sea but I think the North Sea looks fun for fishing
Absolutely amazing. I bet the Sea life would be brilliant under UV light.
I seriously would not mind seeing more of THIS kind of video. It's beautiful and super relaxing.
- We have been planning this type of video for months but just been stuck with lockdown and bad weather - so I am glad you enjoyed it. We have lots of things lined up don’t worry 😉👍🏻🦀🦞🐟
I agree Phoenix, it’s so relaxing I actually watch it in bed before I go to sleep!!!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. We love that you take Mrs. Fish Locker and Junior Fish Locker with you sometimes. You need to get yourself a speargun to get some fish too. Don't know your laws but that would be proper! Keep up the excellent work! We love it!!
- I love to do these things with the whole family. I have considered a speargun a few times but we fish catch and release primarily and you cannot release a speared fish.haha.
Another great video sir. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the land and sea. I have learned so much from you. You, Mrs. and Jr. Fishlocker have a great day and thanks again for what you do. You are the best!! Chris from South Carolina!
- Thank you very much Chris, it is our pleasure. I am just glad that you are enjoying our content. 😊 Best wishes to you and your family and have a great day 👍🏻🦀🦞
Maybe i just have a very simple humor but the way the crabs reacted when he held them and when they were let go made me laugh out loud, it looked so funny to me
- They are pretty cool to look at aren't they. 😊
I can't express how much I enjoy your videos. Very educational and relaxing to watch.
Thank you very much Paul. I am glad that you are enjoying sharing in our passions. If this type of video is your thing then I have one going up tomorrow you should enjoy. 😉👍🏻
You truly live in an amazing place. Swimming around a kelp forest filled with wildlife. And having a seal come say hello? Pretty great place.
- It is stunning isn't it. I do love where we live. I have learned through my life though that it is only when you take notice that you start to see. Many people would walk that same walk as I did and see nothing. Best wishes and thank you for watching. :D
I've been watching for a few weeks now and just love your channel. We've visited the U K several times now but never Cornwall, but we definitely will next time we come over for holiday. Your family is so beautiful and you are such a wonderful and patient father. Love your wife's cooking demos, learning lots. Thank you!
- Thank you Angela, I am very glad to hear you are enjoying our content. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. There are some truly stunning beautiful places in Cornwall. Best wishes and have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻🦀🦞
Ngl feel like this cured my thallasophobia with how chill it is, so cool! 🦀
I am glad to hear I may have helped. We have some wonderful calming videos of the ocean on our channel. If I may suggest another - maybe this one ua-cam.com/video/aCgrWBIcPA8/v-deo.html
I envy you and all the history you are surrounded with. If only those stones could talk....
If I lived there, I'd spend every day exploring and sitting on the rocks listening to their stories as the wind rushes by.
- It is a beautiful place here. Its not hard to see why we love where we live. :D
@@TheFishLocker I'm considering moving to Germany. I've a half brother there that I never met. One of his daughters came over in 2015 and spent 2 weeks with me. I'll visit and check out the laws of course.
That was brilliant John. I miss snorkelling. I love your fishing and potting but that was a real treat. Super clarity and a real joy to see that seal too. Hannah and James must love all the fresh grub too. Cheers Lockers 👍🏼
- Thank you very much, it is our pleasure. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. Best wishes and take care mate. 😊
I got interested in scuba diving back in the early sixties. I would drool over equipment catalogs day and night. At thirteen got certified and started the sport. But along with diving I followed the adventures and documentaries of Jacque Cousteau. Hated when one ended and couldn’t wait for the next one,usually three months later. You have set the bar so high with your videos, and without a 5,000,000 dollar research vessel. You videos are so well done and immensely more entertaining . And I don’t have to wait three months. Thanks for many hours of great entertainment and educational value. ❤️it👍. Time well spent!
- James, it truly is our pleasure. If our videos are helping or teaching people then they are worth making. I truly hope that they may provide some form of positive distraction to people during these difficult times. :)
"He's like a sea gull." 😂 Classic
- Haha. She’s not far wrong. You should see me with a bag of chips!!! 😆
@@TheFishLocker you and I both!
I don’t even know how I came across this channel bud but I’m really enjoying the content and haven’t stopped watching keep it up awesome work 👍
- Welcome to our channel Brian, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🦀
Love it! Nice to see how it is underwater instead of exposed :D Incredible nature and the animals in their natural habitats. Never knew spidercrabs cling on to the rocks :D I'd like to see more of these videos!!
- It is our pleasure. We will be doing more of these videos. 😊👍🏻
what a wonderful life. Get the kid some exercise and spend a family outing near the shore. That kid doesn't know yet but those will be some of his fondest memories.
- We are simply doing our best and living our lives how we feel is right. 😊👍🏻
when i was James's age my dad rented a caravan on Pevensey bay and bought a large crab , when he went to put the crab in the pot i got very upset , so much so he took my hand and grudgingly took the grateful chap and we watched him walk back into the sea . lol
- That is a good father right there. Even though we do take things for the table, it is our compassion that makes us who we are. 😊
I'm a simple woman. I see John and Fam, I click. Absolutely cracking videos mate!
- I find that simply pleasures as often the most enjoyable. I try to keep our lives as simple as possible. Life however often has other plans Haha. :D
Wow! You have a beautiful life. You're so lucky to live close to these stunning areas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank you for sharing your experiences. Sending love to you and your beautiful family from Southern California! I'm a huge fan of your foraging videos. 💛
Thank you very much, it is our pleasure to share our content with you. 😊👍🏻
The seal was amazing. I had a chuckle at the Dr Pepper bottle in the cooler. That probably makes you an honorary Texan.
- Haha. It was one of our daughters from months back. I don’t really drink fizzy drinks. 😉
Saturday morning, kids still in bed, coffee in hand watching this, totally chilled and inspired, set up for the day, loved the video, water clarity was great!! Had a few lobsters snorkelling this week but all undersized. All the best Pete
- Sounds like a great start to a day. I’ve been getting a lot of undersized lately. Great sign for the future. 😊👍🏻🦞
Cracking vid guys! Have a spinal condition that stops me being able to walk very far, have to use a wheelchair for distances & can't climb stairs or hills. It's incredibly frustrating when you're adventurous by nature & developed an obsession with fishing late in life 😂. Watching you explore that beautiful cove was the next best thing to being able to do it in person John, you really bring what you're doing alive. Such a beautiful spot & the underwater footage was superb. That morning, combined with a family cook up on the beach in the afternoon really is life goal dreams! 👌 Perfect way to spend a day on shore. Thanks for another great vid 👍
- Dawn, it absolutely is our pleasure to share this with you. I am so very glad that you are able to join us. Best wishes and take care. 😊💙
a getaway video for someone stuck at home thank you
- It is our pleasure and welcome to our channel. I do truly hope that our videos may provide even a small positive distraction for people during these difficult times. Take care and have a lovely day.😊
Yet another cracking video. Not even 5 am on a Sunday morning and I'm watching. Keep em coming👍
- I was earlier than that when I was out filming Haha.
Such a good video, the wholesomeness never fails to come through in every upload. What would be great is if some commentary was added over the top of the diving sections, that would be the cherry on top I reckon.
- I have had some folks in the last day they preferred the simple sound of the water with no music or voiceovers.
I love the sounds as well, maybe just a little wording as to what the type of fish are like you do with the flowers?
Amanda Van - Noted. 😉
I spent many years skin diving and have seen some wonderful sites wish had a camera in those days - once I saw some bass nudging and playing with a sting Ray another time an electric Ray drifting slowly mid water in the shallows - this video does nudge some wonderful memories
- I am so very glad that we could share our video with you and bring back happy memories for you. 😊👍🏻💙🦀
Thanks for another visit to a place I would not be able to go myself! It's so full of life and clean water. Thank you for showing your beautiful area and for sharing your extensive knowledge. Your channel is always A+++!
- Brenda, it is our pleasure. I am glad you could join us. 😊
Love your channel. African girl here. A lot you speak about was taught to me by my Dad. London living now means I hanker after what you do. Thanks and keep cracking on. Xox
Thank you for supporting our channel!! We are so glad that you enjoy the content
My favorite Fish Locker episode so far. That shoreline and reef are so lovely. And the seal!! Very relaxing and lovely to see.
Patrice O'Grady I completely agree and hoping he does more loved that seal lol just popping by for noisy but water looked awesome and making me want to go but on lockdown so just keep watch john for now so educational
- Thank you very much Patrice, it is our pleasure. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. Best wishes and have lovely day. 😊
We’ve had many a lovely holiday down in mullion. I was pregnant with our eldest the first time I ever went to Cornwall. Our son will be 20 this year and it feels like yesterday. I remember having a freshly caught lobster and crab platter in this lifeboat station turned into a seafood restaurant in Coverack on that holiday too. Beautiful part of the country. I’m in London so seeing this is making me wish I was by the sea instead of shielding away from humankind. James is my smile maker and to see a Tonka in its natural habitat made me belly laugh 😆. Sending love to you all 🦀🦞
- Haha. I am glad that our video could bring you joy. A good laugh is wonderful medicine for the stresses in life. Cornwall is a stunning place and we will be doing more of these videos in the coming weeks. :D
Respect for you diving without a weight belt and getting all that awesome u/ water footage! Thank you👌
- I am glad that it worked out ok. 😊👍🏻🦀
Another lovely video! After watching so many foraging videos at low tide, it was very cool to see all that landscape underwater. Being so far away from the sea, I can count on one hand how many times I've eaten crab. It is one of my favorite things. Even in it's goopy, raw stage, my mouth was watering. 🤣
- Mariah I am so very glad that you enjoyed our video. Best wishes and have a lovely day. :D
Yet another great video John!! Love the "new variety" with the free diving and stunning underwater landscapes, not to detract from the 2 great spiders!!!! Well done mate!!!
- Glad you enjoyed it mate. We have been planning this type of vid for month. Just not had the conditions or been on lockdown.
Jynxx13 agree under waters so interesting and that seal lol curious cat wish I had the nerve
John IMO that was one of the best videos I have seen on YT, Cornwall looks amazing as usual. The underwater filming was great, then the cooking process for the crab. And then the shot of a rare Tonka truck, thought they were extinct.
- Ray, that is wonderful to hear. We are constant trying to improve and make our videos better. So it is brilliant to hear when we are hitting the mark. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. If you think any of your friends would enjoy the video please share it on mate. 😊👍🏻🦀🐟
So spoilt with Fish Locker vids this week, this one was the best, finally got to see a spider crab cook. What a great start to the weekend.
- It was a while coming Kerry, sorry. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather - so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care and have a lovely day. 😊
This chap is the Bamber Gascogne of everything above or below the sea and surrounding flora and fauna ......Great knowledge and super presentation skills !
- Thank you Jonathon. Haha. I actually had to google who that was, but I like the comparison. :D Have a great day and I am glad you enjoyed the video :D
Oh my goodness. That was just amazing. I love the way that seal was checking you out. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your morning and your family with me. I have only been out of the house twice in three months. We are still in partial quarantine here in Kentucky, USA. Still haven't had the nerve to get out. But your videos help so much.
- It is our pleasure Sandra, I understand that there are people who currently cannot enjoy the outdoors so I truly hope our videos can provide even a small positive distraction. Take care and have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻🦀
Hi Sandra. I live in Plymouth, about 70 miles east of where this video was shot. The level of virus here is now nearly down to zero so I've started going to the supermarket again wearing my face mask. I encourage you to get out and and long as you are not too close to people it is fine especially outside where there is fresh air. This year is of course the 400 th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower from Plymouth and we are celebrating it here - the coronavirus has made that a bit more difficult but it is still happening. Some of the buildings that were in existence in 1620 are still standing, including a pub that was about 100 years old when the Mayflower sailed. Best wishes, Stu McCabe.
@@stumccabe Ours is down but still there it is just not gone yet. My children are the main reason I don't go anywhere. They don't like me going out. I enjoy being home which makes it easier. But the videos with the Lockers are so enjoyable. I look forward to every new video. Sometimes I watch them over again in case I missed something the first time. I enjoy looking at the countryside there. It is beautiful. It makes me want to go there. While most people want to visit the sunny beaches I always wanted to see shore lines like are in the videos.
Hello Sandra, I'm sure your children are trying to protect you. Yes there are many lovely places in Cornwall. I believe the Lockers live somewhere near Falmouth. My son and his wife live in Falmouth so I drive there every few weeks. It's a beautiful town full of history. I'm sure you would love it. The pace of life seems slower there, the people are cheerful and friendly, there is virtually no crime. The terrible lawlessness and violence happening in your country at present has been copied in London. You will find nothing like that in Cornwall or Devon where I live. Best wishes , Stu McCabe.
@@stumccabe oh my god tell me about it. My great auntie and uncle as well as some of my cousins live there. The rest of the 200+ of us (mostly immediate family as it adds up to 200 my great grandparents on my dads side alone had 10 children 😂 who’ve obviously gone on to have their own some almost having 7-8 children 😳) remain in either Ireland or Manchester. I absolutely love going to Cornwall and I’m ngl I’m jotting down all these new places that I keep discovering from the lockers 😂 I’m absolutely jealous 😂
33:01 The fish locker man in his natural habitat lol 😂 that’s was so hilarious. I would be eating the same way! This was uploaded on my 32nd birthday, what a treat! I missed it because I was at the beach on this day however her in Connecticut we don’t have such beautiful water sadly 😞 but I get to enjoy a beautiful beach with your family! 💖
- Happy belated birthday to you Alyssa. I hope you had a wonderful day on the beach. 😊
The Fish Locker I did! Thank you!!! ☺️
my wife told me that Poldark lives there. I showed my 5 year old son this video and he wanted boots like James has. Thomas is Big here in the US for little boys. Your videos are very family friendly. Thanks for another great video.
- Yes there are several of our videos that feature Poldark locations. haha. Thomas boots ROCK!!!
Well just when l thought it could not possibly get any better...you've gone and done it AGAIN wow wow.John lm not going to give you three stars it's 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me,what a cracking video and l will be watching it again later today 👌 and that seal 😲 oh my word how fantastic was that.l adore Mullion been several times over the years...what a stunning location it truly is...aren't we so lucky to have this on our door step.How warming to see the whole family happy and loving life.l could go on and on about this video,lm so excited honestly it brings back lots of wonderful memories.....Thank you 🌱🌱🌱💕
- Joyce, I thoroughly enjoyed making this video so I am thrilled to hear people enjoyed watching. We have been planning this type of vid for months but was held by either lockdown or bad weather. But there will be many more if we have anything to do with it. Take care and have a lovely weekend. 😊👍🏻🦀🌿
I’ve heard of Cornwall but I never knew that it’s an amazing place! It’s beautiful. I’d love to live there! Hello, from the Philippines!
- It is a stunning place isn’t it. 😊
Cornwall is one of the prettiest and most untouched parts of England.
What an enjoyable video! Thank you for taking us along on an excursion I could never take. The seal!! The huge jellyfish!! The Tonka truck!! This video had it all! God bless you and your beautiful family!
It makes me really want to dive and forge. It may not be something we can just pick up and do but hey maybe one day the opportunity will present itself 😊
- It is our pleasure to be able to share our day with you. Best wishes to you and your family and stay safe. 😊
Such a beautiful area. Loved the underwater shots...the seal was adorable. Snorkeling is a lot of fun. I enjoy watching your videos because I get to see such beautiful landscapes and I learn something too. Lovely family you have there. Hope you all are having a good Summer!
Thanks so much, we really appreciate where we live and love sharing ti with others x
Best non fishing video yet.Dive a place and then fish it🤔 video like that could break the internet👍
- We have plans in motion. 😉
One of the best video's Ive seen of yours John, I always find the unplanned days where you let the day and nature take you, make some of the most memorable times. Keep up the good work and you all keep well. 😎🤿🌞
- Absolutely. I feel that way to. Sometimes just letting the day take you where it wants is the best type of day. 😊👍🏻🦀
That is beautiful clear water. I would love to scuba dive that entire area... heaven on earth.
Another great video.
Really loved this!!!
Thank you again, my day is better from watching 😎
- It is a stunning place all up and down the Lizard Peninsular. Im glad you enjoyed the video Steve. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. We have a lot more plans in the pipeline. Best wishes and take care mate. 😊
Me too the vis is stunning
Your content just keeps getting better and better. Such fun. You have a great life on the sea, thank you for sharing.
- Thank you very much, it is our pleasure. 😊
Cracking family day out at Mullion Cove with fresh caught spider crab. Welldone team Fishlocker 😉👏👏👏👏
- Doesn’t get much better does it. 😉🦀
Amazing video! You never fail to entertain and educate. Love the seal and jellyfish parts. Very nice haul 💪🏻 Smashing job John, Hannah and James
- Thanks Cary. Take care mate. :)
This was an awesome video. I can really appreciate seeing a man provide for his family and also teaching a lesson while doing so, that's true passion. I've really enjoyed the videos this far and im excited to see more. Keep up the good work bud!
- Thank you very much and welcome to our channel. I hope you enjoy working your way through the rest of our content. 😊
I have loved coming diving with you, you are a fabulous person and very talented. I did not know you went snorkelling it was brilliant coming down there with you and that Lobster was a monster shame it got away. you are a lovely family and we are privileged to be able to spend some time with your lovely family. Thank you very much, I love you doing the forging along the shore line and doing a catch and eat, it is amazing what you can catch and eat. Thank you again. I am debbie, davids wife. I am disabled and would not be able to do any of what you do so feels lovely to be able to join you all. take care all of you best wishes Debbie x
- Thank you very much Debbie, it is our pleasure pleasure to be able to share this with you. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. We have a lot more plans in the pipeline and more like this type of vid. Best wishes and take care. :)
A welcome dose of wholesomeness after mundane 9-5 job. Keep up the good work sir.
- It is our pleasure. 👍
Wow, John, that was the best video you made apart from when you caught the 2 tunas. What I really liked was when you took the opportunity when it presented itself. Very well done.
- Thank you very much mate. Sorry its taken me so long to reply. We've been filming day and night. We had a great time making this. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather - so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care and have a good one. 😊
Diving videos are my absolute favorite and this video is a gem.
- I am glad that you enjoyed it Henry. Please, if you feel that any of your friends would enjoy the videos and our channel - share it on. 😊💙
I like that you include your family in most if it
Not all of your videos. Keep up the good job. Live your videos!
- If we were able, we would be in them all together. 😊💙
Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for sharing this latest sea foraging adventure and picnic with your lovely family. Here in my neck of the woods, we love to eat crabs with white rice and some boiled vegetables (such as eggplants, winged beans, etc.) and the dipping sauce is vinegar with some shrimp paste. Delicious!
- When I read your profile name then I thought you were an old friend of mine. Simon De Bar. Haha. It is our pleasure to share our videos with you, have a lovely day. :)
Just discovered this channel and I LOVE IT! Thank you for taking the time to explain all the wildlife and plants. And the underwater felt like I was taking a dive w you! Amazing!
It is my pleasure Maria and welcome to our channel. I hope you find the rest of our content interesting and good viewing. 😊
finally happy that you have taken a spider crab home .
I had started to believe they can't be eaten , you always discard them.
awesome video as always.
- Like I kept telling you. I was waiting for one that was the right size. ;)
As always The Fish Locker has not disappointed in another fantastic youtube video. Delicious fresh crab caught in Cornwall with its beautiful coves, beaches and rolling hills. Keep on loading videos, the never disappoint 👍
- Thank you very much, we are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊
James Tonka has grown? What a stunning video. Your now taking us to parts of Cornwall I doubt a lot of us followers will never see. Visually stunning the only way to describe the scenery, and not done with that you take us underwater and we see an abundance of sea life including what I assume is a harbour seal. You then round things of with a catch & cook. Thank you for posting such a great video and sharing it with us.
- It is our pleasure David. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. We’ve been planning this type of vid for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. So I’m glad you enjoyed it. There will be more. 😉👍🏻🦀🐟
John wow wow wow wow wow I’m actually lost for words that video was something else pal there is no end to your marine expertise simple stunning a whole different world under there not,a would be shi##ng it as soon as a clocked that seal!!!Seen a video where a guy knocked the front of the shell clean off by hitting it against a rock saying it kills the crab instantly not to sure tho but your way instant.Atb pal stay safe from Scotland
- Theres a couple of different ways. So long as you get it in the vital areas crabs are pretty simple to despatch. 😉 Glad you enjoyed the video mate. We’ve been planning these for months, just been stuck with lockdown and bad conditions.
the ocean water is so mesmerizing that I just want to jump in and dive down myself while watching ☺
- I feel that way too when I see things like this. Just drawn to it. :D
I've been watching you for over a year. How did I miss this amazing video?? Absolutely wonderful content. And the seal paying you a visit! I had to blink to be sure that's really what I was seeing. I also really love your beach cook up content.
Have a look at our playlists. There’s some absolute gems in there 😉
U know your stuff John, impresive well done, keep it up..
- Just sharing what we know and love doing mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😉👍🏻
Only at 0:48 and commenting. Saw the title and thought, “Getting in the water.” Been waiting on this one”
Thanks Bud. Cheers
- Haha. Glad you enjoyed it bud. We’ve been planning these vids for months. Just been stuck with lockdown and bad conditions. We will be doing more. 😉
Really enjoy your channel. Your knowledge of the sea and enthusiasm for teaching is the best I’ve come across. Keep em coming
- I’m glad you think so Alex, we are simply sharing what we know and love doing. We have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. Best wishes mate and stay safe 😊👍🏻🦀🎣
Brilliant video! Just like hunting in a forest, only underwater. The water clarity was amazing. The sea is really a living organism.
- Thanks Bob, we have been planning this type of video for months but have been stuck with lockdown and bad weather. The sea really is teaming with life. Best wishes and take care mate. 😊
I lost it when you filmed the seal! They are my all time favorite sea animal! Such beautiful creatures!
- She was beautiful wasn’t she. So graceful under the water! 😍💙
Best burping, farting boys.
Throughout my life, my parents told me that the internal organs of the crabs were edible because it was "delicious", but I never had it, good thing I don't eat those... Thanks for the information, mate and thanks for the video! Would love to see more! Cheers!
- That is the thing, as time goes by things are learned and discovered. At one point in history people thought smoking was good for you. Now look at what we know. Those parts are delicious but not necessarily good for you. Cooking thoroughly will kill bacteria, but not any chemicals. Think also about what the crabs and lobsters eat. Dead and rotting marine life. So if for example that creature was diseased or poisoned - you are eating it. In my opinion its not worth the risk.
My Mother was born just south of Cromer. I was brought up with brown edible crabs, and for at least 75 years, have enjoyed the brown meat, and the white meat. It hasn't harmed me. I've never really got on with spider crabs, but Dublin Bay prawns....yes!
Your videos are great. Thanks, John!
I don’t enjoy spider crab meat as much as Brown crab meat. 👍🏻🦀
It’s absolutely amazing how the under water world is so much different than the ground we normally walk!
- Worlds apart aren’t they. 😊👍🏻🦀🐟🌿
"Hello, and welcome back to the Fish Locker... in a wetsuit!" This vid is mint! JAMES!
- Haha. Glad you enjoyed it mate.
No lobster equals no "two pincers : its got a croosha, and its got a coota" :(
Love your videos mate.
- Haha. Ill get him next time. ;)
John you will forever be from the North East when you put git before something to mean, great or very big! Did make me chuckle when you cleaned out the goop from that spider , which looked delicious but second to Mrs Locker who is stunning in the sunshine! Master James Locker a delight to watch being the child we all were once over, love and best wishes from the Woodward Clan x Take Care
- Haha. I do occasionally use “Git yowge” when it’s really big. 😉 Glad you enjoyed the video mate. Take care and have a good weekend. 👍🏻🦀
What a beautiful morning and beautiful place to take a walk! I bet if you just took a video of a long walk coastal walk, people would use it for therapy!
Have a look at our coastal exploring playlist. 😉👍🏻
Hey John, I'm watching lots of videos from your channel latelly and I love them. However, I have a cool tip for you that I think will make your videos better: use the GoPro attached in your head, with those head straps. With that, you could use both of your hands and will make it easier for you to show us what you are doing! Love so much your videos, cheers from Brazil!
- That doesn’t make things any easier because if I want to show something specific I need to turn my whole head and put my face near to it. Instead of just pointing the camera.
Oh, nice then. Just thought about that. But keep doing your job, mate! Really appreciate your vids!
I've just started snorkelling/diving around Penzance for the first time and I'm amazed how pretty it gets just a dozen or so meters off the beaches. After watching this I'm going to have to try diving for crab/lobster when I get better at it
Aww man that sounds amazing! Happy diving!!
- Just take it easy and stay safe. Good luck with the diving. 😊👍🏻🦀
I can't get enough of your videos. They are so well done.
- Thank you David. I am glad that you think so. :D
Spider crabs are alot of work . I've given up on them.They used to get very tangled in our nets and cause
havoc with holes and knots.Sometimes there could be hundreds caught trying to rob the fish from the nets.
To be bluntly honest I can't stand the sight of them but I suppose they are an important part of the food chain.
Keep up the good work in educating people about our sea creatures ,they are all beautiful barr spider crabs.
They can be frustrating can't they 🤣
