- Down at one of my favourite places this time - on St Brides Bay , Pembrokeshire , Wales, UK. This area has some really interesting wild life apart from some of the most biodiverse rock pools in the world ( it is the meeting point of the cold water species of the North and the warm water species of the South. We even have a bright blue sea weed -Rainbow Wrack that is very evident here in Spring. Offshore we have 3 species of dolphins, basking sharks , ocean sunfish , blue fin tuna are making a comeback along with other species, of cetecean, seals and my favourite , the Leatherback Turtle , and is the largest turtle ever found ,the world record of which was found around 70 miles away at Harlech ( it died by being trapped in fishing lines and was over 100 years of age and its body has been preserved for display in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff ) well worth a visit , it is 3 meters (9 feet) in length and weighs 914 Kilos (2016 ponds), enjoy, This was expertly filmed and edited by Jon Borg of Digital Tiger.

The production quality on these just gets better and better.
It's all thanks to Jon Borg of Digital Tiger, his equipment and editing skills, regards Craig
I started watching these videos because they're so relaxing. It really helps with my anxiety.
Really glad to have helped missapea , regards Craig
hope the anxiety isn't so bad.
it's a horrible thing.
"Well done limpets." -Craig Evans
Well they have been evolving for many millions of years lol, regards Craig
National Geographic should produce a show with you, it would be absolutely awesome.
Now there's a thought Colleen, kind regards Craig
Yes! Definitely would be a hit! Its food but more important its knowledge being shared!
I kinda disagree, with being in youtube he has a lot more control with how the show goes, and with other things that goes in it.
I’m allergic to shellfish, but I love the way you educate us as you forge. You also show respect by only taking what you need and leaving the rest.
Respect for the environment is paramount Mincy poo, regards Craig
Craig, your videos never disappoint! Not just your knowledge, but the love and pride for your country and it's natural resources shines through.
Is it that obvious Jon, kind regards Craig
Yep. The Welsh Tourist Board should have you on speed dial!
I honestly got so excited when I saw you posted a new video. I'm under the weather and under the covers and this is the perfect thing to watch!
Glad to be able to help Nicole, regards Craig
Feel better soon !
Underrated channel. Needs more views.
I tend to agree ,lol, regards Craig
straight out of Davey Jones' locker! so interesting and informative and delicious too!thanks again craig, good to see you and Llew!
You never know what you find under those rock HellOhkitty, regards Craig
This is perfect sunday viewing. Far better than any of the crap you get on tv.
Fantastic Craig I love your videos and good to see you back. You are in my opinion the best UK coastal foraging with a cook up on the shore on UA-cam.
Cheers Rob, means a lot, kind regards Craig
Another great video, loaded with information on fauna & flora. The BBC should highlight you and your channel on their educational spotlight programs. Thanks for the quality production, grateful from "across the pond".
Many thanks for your supporting comment SYK Y, regards Craig
Love learning from you Craig. This sort of knowledge could easily fade away if it wasn't for people like you who pass it on. Thank you for sharing it!
Glad to e of service Dave, regards Craig
Another spectacular video again Craig. As always. Everytime I watch these, I'm starving. It's not pay day until tomorrow, so I'm indulging in some mushy peas on toast. Wish I was having what you're having. Looking forward to the next one Craig. 👍👍👍
fast becoming one of my favourite channels Craig! I can almost smell the sea
Pleased to be able to assist Benjamin, regards Craig
Another top class video Craig.
It was nice to meet our great, great x several millions great grandfather.😂
As always, thanks for sharing mate.
Atb.
Take care, Steve 👍👍
I may be wrong but , but I'm sure that I had the same sense of humour as my Grear, Great Grandfather many million times removed lol , regards Craig
Nice one Craig!! You wouldn't be out of place on the TV!
Thank you Kefa, I've done a small bit of TV already , regards Craig
Happy to watch your new video Craig. Everytime I watch your videos I really learn a thing or two. Very informative.👍👍👍👍
Many thanks for a great comment Jhazy, regards Craig
I’ve studied marine biology at Bangor university and I’d love to come with you on a trip to a coastal location😩 you’re so clever and such a lovely man
Thank you for your comment Sarah, you'd be very welcome, regards Craig
Nobody quite expresses their delight for local produce like a very passionate Welsh man, really great video as always Craig.
I especially love this channel since I traced my family to Wales before they went to the US.
Now knowing this, and it’s maybe 4-5 generations back that came over - even if that’s quite some time ago I’m still happy because I knew nothing and figured it out and want to know where my folks came from.
Hi Ray, croeso i'r sianel (welcome to the channel) my videos are filmed all around the coast West Wales,mainly the counties of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, regards/ hwyl , Craig
Ray Llosgi, did you know that the word " llosgi" is Welsh for "burn" and also " burnt"
Terence Wyn Roberts I do now, back when I made my user name I was looking for “bear” and I think the internet broke on me because it’s arth I think? But I’m not mad because I still like it and it works for me lol but as time goes on the more I learn.
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans awesome! I’m gonna be diving back into my family tree and trying to figure out more of where they lived- I suspect they did some type of work that had them moving around a bit, I’m not sure, like they were following the jobs around. It’s hard though, there’s a lot of John Jones’s and I’ve no other family to get information from.
@@rayindahay yes Welsh for bear is "arth" the "a" is pronounced the same as the "a" in apple ,the "r" as in run and the "th" as the "th" in thunder.👍
Great video thank you. I watched it with my 6 yr old daughter who loves rock pooling in Angelsey, especially when it leads to eating the muscles and crabs!
"Llew, cer mas o'r ffordd", makes me smile each time you say it. Which is quite often! Lol
Mae' n wastod yn y ffordd Huw, lol, hwyl Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 fi'n siwr dy fod yn ei faddeuo fe bob tro.
God bless you Craig! 😇
I could watch these for hours and hours
Glad you like them Dal, regards Craig
Craig - You have a beautiful canine companion. Glad to see you both are doing well.
Your a legend my man!!!! Whenever in having a bad day i get to chill with my boi Craig
It's always a "Chilling " time on the shore Ben, regards Craig
Hello from New Zealand! Another amazing episode, the production quality gets better everytime! Claudia and I particularly liked the hairy crab and the flat winkles. Keep it up, we're looking forward to the next episode!
Many thanks Harrison, Have Claudia's birthday celebrations come to an end yet ? I hope she enjoyed, regards Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 They have indeed! We're hoping to get away to the Marlborough Sounds next weekend and get some exploring and fishing in which will be amazing!
Your vast knowledge of sea-life is remarkable to say the least.
Nice of you to say so James, regards Craig
Fit for a king indeed. Thanks for sharing Craig
Thank you for sharing your knowledge I don't travel being able to see a different part of the world through your eye's is a journey. Thank you
It's my pleasure to do this Big Z ,regards Craig
I love how you share your knowledge of the wildlife, how you always return the ones you won’t eat back to their homes, and especially enjoy watching you pluck seaweeds from rocks and eating them with a description of how they taste!
Thank you for a great comment Haruko, regards Craig
Another great video Craig. These are better than Nat Geo documentaries!
Nice of you to say so KingFluffs, regards Craig
Much nicer to watch with the editing. Thanks again Craig for another great video
It's all down to Jon Borg of Digital Tiger , he is really good, regards Craig
Beautiful production...the cinematography keeps improving (and we all continue to benefit). The beginning scenes of the ocean and beach were lovely. Thanks so much!
Really glad you like Jessica Jon puts much effort into his work, regards Craig
I don't think you could make a bad video, its a special kind of relaxing to watch you do what you do and enjoy the outdoors
Thank you Black, as you notice I am always "chilled " out , regards Craig
Thank you so much what a lovely day foraging and learning so much !
Brilliant Craig thanks again.

Cheers Al and Iaon, I already do, it's one of my many interests - We ran a private anthracite mine as a family business , it's in the blood, regards Craig
Nice to see you again Craig.

Graham Jonathan me.
I love that you not only include knowledge on the sealife but you also include the plant life and so much more🥰 keep up the good work.
And the quality of your videos has come such a long way. Much love and support👏
Fantastic! I would love to try the little peppery seaweed. I think I’d be happy and never leave if I could just spend my life exploring and foraging.
Great video as always Craig! The prawns are still around here in South Wales and I've had a good few cook-ups. I've also been successfully tracking otters the past few weeks with wildlife cameras, regards Oscar.
Hey Craig,
I hope all is well. I was wondering how you do all your research on species in your area? What’s the best way you’ve found to identify a new species you’ve discovered with certainty? Using the internet can be hard to get an exact match. I love your videos. You’re very entertaining and clearly very knowledgeable!
Thanks for everything.
Hi Owen , I''ve spent many happy years exploring every nook and cranny of the coast of West Wales from Pembrey in Carmarthenshire to St Davids in Pembrokeshire and all points in between . I don't think that there is book on the subject I havn't read. I used to keep a large salt water aquarium to study the fish and invertibrates that live on our coast. My tip on identification is to obtain at least 3 books and compare the photographs. There is also Marlin , an online guide to the creature on our coast. I hope this helps, regards Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 Thank you for your expertise!
love Newgale beach and walking my dogs there, many thanks for sharing Craig always learn something from your videos
Newgale beach can be so many things to so many people Ian, cheers, regards Craig

Always enjoy your videos Craig. No coastal foraging for me as much as I would like to as I live in th e Rocky Mountains of Wyoming in the United States. About as far from fresh seafood as one can be.
Many thanks for your comment again 416 REM, regards Craig
It's like an endless, natural aquarium. And you can get a meal out of it too :)
That's a great way to put it Frik Na luzie, regards Craig

Nice tasting notes. Brilliant!
I've had requests to do this C O, regards Craig

Trying pepper dolce off a rock in West Wales is now firmly on my bucket list. Cheers Craig.
It will be well worth it toulds- delicious, regards Craig
Great video Craig ( as always). Makes me homesick. Now in Canada, previously North Wales.
Dewch 'nol i'r gogledd , glad you like it ,regards /hwyl Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 If I was a TV documentary producer I would have signed you up yesterday!
wow this is really awesome...
Thank you ADiHD , you aint seen nothing yet, more to come, regards Craig
This video is a great turn for the channel.
Idea: could Mr. Evans attempt to make a kosher scavenger cook and catch for us who don't eat shellfish?
I'll bear that in mind Sid, regards Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447
Thank you for your consideration 😊
Shalom.
Video quality way up. Great job great videos my friend.
Thank you Richard, glad you like them, regards Craig
We forget how much our wonderous Island has to offer in natural bounty. What a crime it is we are not teaching the younger generation just 5% of what Craige knows.
Quite correct , we are really fortunate here in the UK, regards Craig
You have inspired us to take our 3 grandson's on coastal holidays/walks this year in place of the standard spoiling them at Legoland/Alton Towers treats. To see our boys so excited as they roam and hunt along the beaches and rocks pointing out everything they see is a gift that is soley down to your making and I honestly thank you with all my heart Craig. The only negative factor is I find myself tearing up alot as I watch the boys so free and alive, but apparently its ok for a man to cry in a 21st century. lol
What a wonderful comment , this is why I make the videos and do not charge for children on my courses, kindest regards Craig
