COASTAL FORAGING - The Gift That Keeps On Giving. ( oyster conservation)
Вставка

- Coastal foraging is about much more than just finding wild food to eat. You need to understand each of the various habits and how it's inhabitants interacts with each other and with adjacent habitats. From the base of the food chain to the very top, removal of too much of any layer will have a serious detrimental effect on the whole ecosystem. ONLY collect an amount for your needs and don't collect too much from one area-vary your gathering over a wider area. A scenic video of cooking and pickling/preserving foraged wild oysters with wild garlic, rose hips and rock samphire on the coast of Carmarthenshire in Wales UK. I also try and repopulate the bay with native oysters. Finding another use for the oyster shells is also explained. "Did I say we found a pearl" we did ! It was nice day out and I'm delighted to share it with you.

I can’t describe the level of peace watching your videos gives me. Thank you, Craig.
Glad you like them Alex, regards Craig
I have to agree with Alex 👍👍👍
Imagine waking up on a Christmas morning and you see pickled oysters under the tree. Whoever receives that is gonna be so delighted. What a wonderful gift honestly, I would personally be happy hugging a jar of pickled oysters.
They are now in my refrigerator waiting for the full flavor to develop, regards Craig
Best coastal forager out there.
Good of you to say so Eastendthug, regards Craig
By a country mile.

Don’t ever apologize for your dog we are all animal lovers here watching you. Keep up the good videos.
It's so nice to see them hanging out together
I don't intend to , he has a great time being himself on the beach, regards Craig
He’s a great dog and totally part of the appeal of your videos 💓. Also, Wales seems quite beautiful. Glad to know and appreciate more about Wales than just Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton 😉 Thanks as always for posting. A lovely escape for most of us...
Thank you for a great comment Jessica, in fact Dylan Thomas lived and is buried only 1 mile from where the video was filmed, regards Craig

Wonderful thing to see a video of yours today, Craig. My dog and best friend of nearly 13 years passed away suddenly this morning, and seeing your passion and care for your craft, and how kindly you treat the beaches helps to bring me peace. Thank you so much

So sorry for your loss.
I never seem to get enough of his accent. I love his accent although English isn't my first language.
Hi Vinronra Zx, it is a South West Wales accent, regards Craig
English isn't Craig's first language either.

Hi Craig, good to see a new video. Those who don't like - it's like throwing pearls to swine;-) I've been telling all my work colleagues about the low tide foraging experience I had with my daughter over half term! They especially enjoyed the process of teasing the razor clams out of the sand.
Best wishes
Tony

Thank you MrFlyingguy, Jon does a great job, regards Craig
Great ideas, thanks as always Craig. We eat this type of oyster in one of our favourite restaurants up here 8n northwest Spain. Always cooked though, I have been sick after eating raw oysters.so I was a little nervous about cooked ones, but they are really great cooked, steamed open then finished in a hot oven with butter and garlic. Muy Rico.
Thats great Katrine, cooking then pickling will negate any poisoning problems, regards Craig
Great video Craig, I enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable and even know the Latin names
Many thanks Randy, regards Craig
Love Old Craig!! Good man! xx
Cheers , regards Craig
