Amazing vid as always dad. I’m so pleased you liked and used the Christmas gift I gave you ( the wok and bowls he used). The stir fry looked delicious I wish I could have been there to taste some xx
Yes Ceri ,your Christmas gift of the wok and bowls proved really useful,the food was delicious,plenty of chances to accompany me with the children when the weather improves,Daddy x
I just think people haven’t come across it unfortunately- I just came across it myself and subscribed immediately so I feel like eventually it will catch on and he will have a huge following- if not I’ll be confused- these videos are awesome!
Great video sir ! It’s very satisfying to harvest and cook a meal, especially outdoors. Whether foraging, fishing, or hunting, the end result takes you back to man’s roots as hunter-gatherers. Thanks for sharing your experience ! 🍺
what amazes me is...there are no other people foraging on the beach. Im from Oregon and you have to fight for a spot on the sand during a good clam tide. Love the videos.
Love watching you reap the rewards after a hards day of foraging. Keep adding the meal portion where you guys eat the food to really show how delicious your food is! Love the channel!
Thank you ryangallo08, Kris has done all the filming and editing to date ,I feel he is doing a great job and I am really grateful for his help and support.Regards ,Craig.
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I do a lot of shore fishing down that way stunning part of the world do you ever collect spider crab at worms head when there in the water was thick with them last year cook them like Rick stein just a fire bed of sea weed fish/molluscs then another layer of sea weed and it steams them .. Best way of eating any food fresh and the smell of the sea air. Keep up the good work :)
Hi 253will, this video was meant to be filmed on the Worms Head causeway ,but storm Eleanor put paid to that. I intend to make a few videos around the Gower this year also.regards Craig.
That looked so nice m8 , you are doing the world a favour for showing everyone if you have no money you can always get a meal for free lol , great work bro love your vids
Many thanks Clint Byl,in the past many people would have to supplement their diet by means such as this-this knowledge is now mostly lost,regards Craig.
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans , I want to say more more more, but I do understand you have a life (a truly great one) just know i, and certainly many others, just wait to see you pop up and we clear the decks in order to really enjoy the experience. Thanks again👍😆🦀
Thank you kind sir! My husband and I learned something today about foraging along a coast. I came up with seafood medley! When you opened the scallop and described the sweetness of it, I kind of was wishing I could have a taste also. Again thank you!
I know I'm late on commenting on your videos but, I ran up on these and I can't stop watching them. You are a very resourceful man,and I love seafood so it's amazing to see you take the small pleasures from the sea and turn it into a feast. Fantastic! You make great videos,,,I wish you would make more!
Such a great video. Growing up my dad would always tells us stories about his mom and grandma picking cockles so it was really nice to see how it was done.
Thank you Siani,if you live locally you may like to try gathering them yourself,they are delicious and it's great to get out on our beaches.Regards Craig
I love all of your videos! They’re so interesting and I love watching the cooking of everything collected that day. Always a bit of humor in there too, not quite one of your vids without it!
I really feel like I'm right there... feeling the rocks, smelling the feast, hearing the waves, the wind, the smoke... and hearing you speak your love of your home and nature 😊 Thank you, again and again for bringing me along! I had such a good time and yes... success!!👍🐟🦀🐌🐚🍃☘🌬🌊
I've seen a video of a Japanese street vendor frying up fresh scallops in their own shell, and that's been something I really want to try. I read on my local official clam site that you shouldn't eat clams you find partially open because it might have contaminants. The clam you found here was open, do you worry about that?
Hi Nightfangfox,thank you for your concern and a very good point. Normally if you find a clam on the sand with its shell open,it is normally dead and may contain contaminants or be decomposing/decomposed and would be a serious health hazard. This should be avoided at all costs. However the large clam we found ,the soft shell clam (mya arenaria) was washed up alive after storm Eleanor. Soft shell clams can never fully close their shells , There is no need, as they live buried in the sand/mud up to a depth of 40 cms .They have a thin membrane between the shell to seal in their bodies. The clam we found was alive and fully closed.The only issue was that a seabird had started to eat the end of its unretractable long siphon (the damaged part was cut away)-thank you for a great relevant comment ,Kind regards ,Craig.
These videos are so satisfying and calming and now I want so bad to learn how to forage my own stuff. Please keep making these and keep up the awesome work.
Wow!!! Really beautiful place to be and the things you find. Love stuff like this and love seafood too. The big sea shell is beautiful...thank you for sharing.
I am lucky enough to have spent many years searching for the best areas to forage and know where it is most likely to find my target foods.Cockles tend to be found in beds at the same locations year on year,they like to live in quite sheltered sandy or sand/mud areas where they are not subject to too much disturbance from waves and rough seas.As they are immobile there would also need to be enough food for them provided a sufficient water/tidal current.Kind regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans awesome. Thank you. Your videos are very inspiring . I have been out foraging myself after watching you and your dog is awesome. ..x
Your videos are amazing, I never was interested in hunting/foraging/fishing but these videos are making me interested in doing it myself, thank you for posting.
Great comment Robert, much appreciated ,thank you.Most people on the coast would supplement their diet like this before the industrial revolution. Cooked and pureed seaweed is still a popular food and a cultural icon here in West Wales. It is known as Laver Bread or Bara Lawr in Welsh. It can be readily bought in shops and supermarkets,it is extremely nutritious . It is made from Porphyra Umbilicalis ,it is a very similar species that the Japanese use as Nori. Regards Craig
Wonderful, wonderful video. West wales is one of my favourite parts of the world. Terrific food, the best scenery, lovely accents. I love watching these videos. The only shame is I’m English, and for various reasons the English are ‘tolerated’ but not liked. But I still love to explore the lakes, mountains, restaurants, history, beaches and people. It was always my dream to retire to Wales. That will never happen.
I was linked to this series yesterday and I've been binge watching your videos ever since. I love them! They're so fun and interesting, you make foraging really appealing to me.
Just watch two of your guys videos and I’m on my third. I really enjoy your videos. Super calming and informative. I love how you explain all the creatures.
You are the best Craig. Also I meant the whelks were bad because they put holes in mussels. So far, I have liked all the sea creatures I have put in my mouth. Dad had us kids fishing as soon as we were able to stand. I love it. Pat
Many thanks again Pat,if the dog whelks did not eat the mussels,there would be no room for anything else.It's all part of natures' balance. You are fortunate to have a dad like that,regards Craig

Amazing vid as always dad. I’m so pleased you liked and used the Christmas gift I gave you ( the wok and bowls he used). The stir fry looked delicious I wish I could have been there to taste some xx

Hi Max,"Llew" really enjoys his time foraging,regards Craig.
Llew is a beautiful dog very good natured.
It's a golden retriever
Such a cute dog.
Mr. Evans is an institution of knowledge. It would be quite something to walk the shore and forage with him. Great video, thank you.
This is when I miss living near the beach. This is making me terribly hungry.
I got here just cause I was looking up how scallops are harvested and now I'm so hungry. this looks absolutely delicious 🥰
I love these two, very nice. Thank you Craig! I hope you are staying safe
your videos are amazing. i can watch them all day. makes me wish i lived by an ocean.
Hi John ,glad you like them,we are very fortunate to have this environment here in Wales UK.
Same, I'd be thrilled if he rocked out a 2 hour vid just walking, foraging and showing us interesting things and places. 👍😊🦀
The man knows how to forage and cook 👨🍳😋
Great video sir ! It’s very satisfying to harvest and cook a meal, especially outdoors. Whether foraging, fishing, or hunting, the end result takes you back to man’s roots as hunter-gatherers. Thanks for sharing your experience ! 🍺
Thank you USNVA 11,these are also my sentiments,regards Craig.
So true the land an ocean provides so much real food!!! An is easily accessible I no I can always provide for my family if needed
Craig is a genius! He really should be on the bbc. Amazing knowledge and skills.

This is an extremley amazing channel, there's something about being outside cooking with your dog and friend that makes me happy. Cheers.
Many thanks Slippery Butterfly,it's great fun,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I'm glad you have fun, I have always wanted to be a forager and admire your work.
Best regards

your dog is amazing, he looks so happy!
I love that you forage just enough for the two of you, no waste - that's the way it should be!
Thank you Blaise ,that is my ethos,even though there is currently plenty,it may not be so in future,kind regards Craig

Forgive me for asking what might be a simple question, but how do you tell that the clams were alive?
Quite simply because they will not open their shells when prised and the fact that they move when handled.,regards Craig
This guy is cool. I could listen to him talk all day
These videos remind me of what a beautiful artist/provider Jesus Christ Our Lord is!
These videos are so satisfying and calming and now I want so bad to learn how to forage my own stuff. Please keep making these and keep up the awesome work.
Thank you for a great comment Linda,there will be many more videos to come,regards Craig.
This guy could survive a nuclear war. His knowledge is extraordinary - we should all take note.
I think the shellfish would be too contaminated from.nuclewr debris to be edible.
Wow!!! Really beautiful place to be and the things you find. Love stuff like this and love seafood too. The big sea shell is beautiful...thank you for sharing.
Thank you Manie,we are really fortunate here in Wales UK,regards Craig
How do you know where the cockles are please...???
I am lucky enough to have spent many years searching for the best areas to forage and know where it is most likely to find my target foods.Cockles tend to be found in beds at the same locations year on year,they like to live in quite sheltered sandy or sand/mud areas where they are not subject to too much disturbance from waves and rough seas.As they are immobile there would also need to be enough food for them provided a sufficient water/tidal current.Kind regards Craig

You are the best Craig. Also I meant the whelks were bad because they put holes in mussels. So far, I have liked all the sea creatures I have put in my mouth. Dad had us kids fishing as soon as we were able to stand. I love it. Pat
Many thanks again Pat,if the dog whelks did not eat the mussels,there would be no room for anything else.It's all part of natures' balance. You are fortunate to have a dad like that,regards Craig
Love how informative you are & the doggy is a plus
Thank you Fatima,glad you like them ,regards Craig.
