- Foraging on Vancouver Island for fiddleheads. I Talk a bit about what to look out for and how to identify the edible variety. Comparing the Sword Fern to the Lady Fern.
In this video I explore the lady fern and all her tasty bounty.
CHEERS!

Oh so cool, didn't know you guys had there on the west coast. We picked them for McCains when we were kids by the burlap potato bag full in eastern Quebec. Plus always had some with salmon or lobster. Great share and really loved it
That's awesome! Yea my family are all from the east coast and absolutely love fiddleheads. When my dad came to the island he was disappointed they were so much harder to find here.
Thank you for sharing, I love hearing people's experiences.
And thank you for watching my friend!
Cheers!
Nothing like a nice sunny day to forage
MMMMmmm, chicken stir fry with fiddleheads, sign me up man! Awesome video, sucks that Spring has sprung so late for me, everyone's out doing there ramp & fiddlehead videos and I'm still putting away my snow blower...ha!
Haha aw man that does suck. We've had a super late start compared to previous years but I see some places just getting into spring.
Thanks for all your support my friend,
Cheers!!
Thanks for the informative video. I hope I can find some next spring and give them a try. atb, eldon
Thanks Eldon! They are very tastey, just be sure what your picking is what you think it is. I hope you find some also and get a chance to try them!
Thanks for the support!
Cheers!
Awsome video,
Hubby and I just found a goal mine of them on the back of our property , I literally picked 8lbs of them .😁
Wow! What a score! Good for you folks, and how cool is that you found them right in your back yard 😃 thank you muchly for the kind words also I really appreciate it.
Happy foraging!
Cheers
Fun On Vancouver Island thank you, I really enjoyed your video!
Yep, pretty lucky to find them , I feel pretty blessed here.
I need to learn a great deal more about wild edibles than I know... Thanks for sharing.
I'm sure it is quite different in your area max. I would be excited to see what kind of wild edibles are available where you are. Much more desert like.
Thanks for watching my friend
Cheers !
I don't know... I may have to look into that. 😀
Good one bud, you sure can see the difference between the two Fiddleheads side by side.
I know eh! They were sooo Good!
Saw a ton of fiddleheads when we were hiking around Englishman River Falls - didn't know they were edible! Very cool! :)
Yes they are abundant there. Just gotta make sure your getting one of the few edible ferns. Thanks for watching! Awesome to have someone that's been here before!
Cheers!
Great job my friend
Thank you for watching and for your continued support my friend.
They were amazing. Do you get them in your area?
Cheers!
Awesome, we don’t have those around here. But I’d love to try some one day. Great skill to have, knowing what wild edibles to eat. Great video brother!
Thanks brother! I would love to see what kind of wild edibles you have in your area.
@@funonvancouverisland how come some lady fern is red and other is not ? how i wish u have a video cof detail comparison between ostrich and lady fern.
@@andrewyek thanks for watching! If I get a chance this month I will do that!
Cheers!
@@andrewyek the redness in the stem is caused by a lack of water early in its life. They are harder and Less pleasant to eat but not poisonous.
I haven't had them in years , Great stuff !
They were great. Been at least 15 years for myself also. Thanks for the support brother!
Cheers!
Great video I hope my son grows up to be just like you!
Thanks Lorelei! I don't know if you would want that lol thanks for watching and for your kind comment.
Cheers!
Almost 4,000 views, thanks y'all!! 😊🪅🎉🎊
oohhh.. we call this Village vegetable.. in my hometown and no body ever eat this anymore wow.. never guess that you also know bout this.. I thought this is ¨indonesian¨veggie thingy hahahha niceee
Really?? So cool!! I love hearing stories from around the world about what wild edibles they have and what they call them.
Thanks for all the support my friend!
Man I wish we had these over here but I moved to the side that hardly has any ferns at all
Really? That's interesting to know. I would have thought they would be abundant where you are brother.
They were very tasty!
Cheers!
This made me sad. At the end he said if I don’t see you guys again…are you okay buddy? Do you need hugs?
English second language?
Your my hero Chris
Lol. someone likes fiddleheads? Thanks for watching!
Better then 711 chilli and cheese
Black Listed how do you know my name? 🤔
Your famous and we are family bro Britt said you and uncle have channel's now keep up the good work
Lol it’s Patrick 😛
Crazy I did this video I filmed for the same thing three days ago and found some bush were of the wrong type.
I look forward to seeing your vid my friend. Thanks for watching,
Cheers!
Nice one, I presume these are classed as weeds? We don't have these in the UK, what do they taste like? If there is definitive taste. Cheers. Lee (Burton Outdoors)
I believe they are classified as weeds, but many species are used widely in indoor and outdoor gardens. They are easier to find on the east coast of Canada but can be found around my parts. They taste almost exactly like spinich and are very good with butter and salt.
You don't have fiddleheads in the UK?? I didn't know that. Our forests can be similar in ecology in areas.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Cheers lee!
Fun On Vancouver Island well we might :-) I will have to check but never seen these.
I didn’t realize I’ve already seen some of your videos haha I was trying to forage some fiddleheads myself but was a bit late this year
Hey, right on! Did you get a chance this year?
@@funonvancouverisland negative 😔 didnt get a chance but next year I know a few good spots. looking forward to another vid 👀 ✌
@@bushisback112 thanks for the update John I hope it works out next year, thanks for the support!
I didn't hear you mention that u shape similar to celery
Well that is a fantastic way of explaining that identifying feature! I will be sure to use that one going forward.
Thanks !
Where in Vancouver island? I found one but I’m scared to it?
They actually grow all over the island. It's best to not take a chance if you're not 100 percent sure though. Although the reaction would likely be minimal if cooked thoroughly and eaten in small amounts, best to be safe. Thanks for watching! 😀
I'm confused because you're picking ferns with purple stalks. I thought the stalks were supposed to be bright green and completely free of any type of hair? I'm seeing little black hairs down the side of those also? can you please explain
Thanks for the comment! Many fern stocks vary in color from green to purple, everything from temperature to nutrient deficiencies can cause the change in color. The ferns that I was picking did not have hairs on them. It feels like parchment paper and flakes off easily when rubbed. Very delicious treat from the woods, goes well on a BBQ steak 😃
Like I said in the video though, I am no expert and everyone should do their own research. Just sharing the knowledge I have gained growing up here.
Cheers my friend and happy picking!
@@funonvancouverisland thx for your reply too. Cheers
I love fiddle heads but I can never find them :-(
That's unfortunate. They should be in your area, they seem to be more abundant as you head east. In some of the areas I've seen you walking it looks like prime location for it. They like shade, moist very rich soil from my experience.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Cheers!
I look every year. They are very much here. One day I'll find them
LMAO! Those are Lady fern Fiddleheads NOT Ostrich ferns. Take your own advice @ 5:10 you say: know what your picking because it could be the difference between life or death. Luckily for you most people can eat lady fern fiddleheads without gettin too sick. But you honestly need to do more research before trying anymore foraging videos.
@@midspan28 oh man I thank you greatly for all your interaction. If you watched the video you see that I put a correction on the screen saying they are lady ferns not ostrich ferns. The day I get sued for telling people to do their own research would be quite the day. Cheers!
