- Coastal foraging - Cornwall is such a wonderful place for coastal foraging, beach combing and rock pooling. Here we have a walk along a beach on the Lizard in Cornwall and show you what can be found.

Good advice on harbours 👍
Trojs Fishing - Thanks mate. As you know there are basic common sense do’s and don’ts that all foragers should know. Best to start out with a good safety aware foundation to build your knowledge on. 😊👍🏻🦀🐚🌿
Exactly what I was about to comment on. Didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense.
@@TheFishLocker Yes and often with the nasty things in shellfish from harbours and outlets they are not necessarily immediate and will creep up on you over time.
@@TheFishLocker where do you think is best north coast or south coast of cornwall as I'm thinking of doing some foraging every now and again but not sure what coast would be best as where I am is on the north coast
charlie fuller - Both coasts have great areas and so does Devon. 😉
I just want to say that watching the fish locker really relaxes me after a rough work day. thanks for the great content.
- That is great to hear Christopher, I am glad we can help to bring you some peace. All the best and have a great day. :)
Couldn’t say it better myself.
I love these videos!! I love how you don’t waste any part of the animal and if you don’t use it you explain why, you’re educating people on marine life and how to properly handle it as well as how to SUSTAINABLY catch and use marine life without damaging any ecosystems and habitats. You cover up the places which you didn’t find anything and throw back anything you don’t feel is suitable to use, so it can grow and be used again. I really appreciate people like you educating the masses on how to sustainability collect and harvest sea life without damaging the ecosystem. The world will thank you 💞
Gabriella Shankman - Thank you Gabriella. I am so glad to hear you share our philosophy and have picked up on the message and purpose of our videos. I hope that more people see our passion and develop a love and understanding of the natural world around them. Through education and understanding of these wonderful and often fragile ecosystems can we help protect them. Have a great day and thank you for your wonderful comment. 😊👍🏻🦀🐚💙
The Fish Locker thank you!! I hope more people can learn and protect these habitats as well! Even in your fishing videos you show how to do it sustainably and throw back any bycatch which you don’t intend to use. The fact that you are just as concerned about the environment as me and many others and you’re willing to do this shows real passion and dedication. It means everything to me as I’m sure it does to you as well. I hope you have a wonderful day as well and everything is well 💙✨🐠
Love your videos. Favourite channel I've found so far!
Cliff's 4 Minute Review's - Thats great to hear Cliff. Glad you’re enjoying our content mate. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
Great video. Your son is one lucky boy getting to explore the shore and learn about nature with his dad. No doubt you'll both remember days like this forever! Cheers!
- I have honestly been waiting since before my son was born to be able to share these things with him. :)
My stepson was never interested in fishing, rockpooling etc. I tried my best! But I have a glimmer of hope, my 5yr old grandaughter.. she loves the beach - whatever the time of yr, especially looking in rock pools! With your help, and the internet, I can tell her what we are looking at - she remembers them - and then tells me, when I forget!!! Thankyou for your information that you give, it really does help! On the upside, I don't have any excavators to find and bring back😆
Simon Ross - Excavators are a vital part of our beach kit!! We don’t go anywhere without a construction vehicle of some sort. 😛
Another great video mate . Thanks for the info about not eating water filter feeders near harbours. I could of been really ill if it wasnt for you. Thanks mate
Earl's Fishing Adventures - It is my pleasure mate. Like we spoke about, if they don’t open after cooking, don’t eat them 😉🐚🍽
I find your video relaxing for me. I work in the city so I rarely go to beach at all. Seeing you forging is amazing. I learn a lot of things and I enjoy watching you with your son and wife.
LiZie Kim - Thank you very much Lizzie I am glad to hear that you find our videos good viewing and informative. We love getting out on the shore together as a family. Especially taking our little boy. I have enjoyed teaching him about our world so so much. Welcome to our channel and have a great day. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
Been subscribed for a couple months now. LOVE these videos. So informative and relaxing!
Sabrina Ray - That is great to hear Sabrina. Thank you and have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
Oh my! James is such a doll! And he has the best Pa! Love your videos!
Elizabeth Lorenz - We are blessed with both of our kids. I am such a lucky man. 😊💙
Great educational videooooo. Can’t wait for some of your wrecking vids. Getting some them big lingssssss. Keep safe and tight lines my freind 🎣
Ryzie Mac - Just need weather and tide to coincide. 😉👍🏻🎣
It’s the same here trying to get a calm day to go out and a nice tide running, however whenever it’s calm the tides are rubbish and vice vercer,
Another great video with you and your family again making the most of your surroundings, I never get fed up watching them.
David Bainbridge - Thanks mate, as you say we are just making the most of what is on offer. I do love where we live. 😊🦀🐚💙
My new fav channel. Im binge watching all his videos
- Thank you Jo, if you have any questions about any of the videos jus leave us a comment. :)
Yay new vid I love it keep up the good work
bradley twisdale - Glad you like it Bradley. All the best mate. 😊👍🏻
Love seeing your wife and boy in your videos! 🥰
Brooke Barletto - My wife and our children are the biggest part of my life. As the new COPPA youtube laws are enforced we may have to stop this type of video sadly. 😫
Really enjoying your adventures, teaching your son is just great at such a young age.Please keep sharing very informative.
Paul D - We are simply sharing what we love doing. If we weren’t recording it we would be doing this anyway. 😊👍🏻🎣🦀🐚
I'm so glad I found your page. I truly enjoy learning about all the different life forms you find on the beach while spending time with your family. ❤ Thank you for taking the time to post these videos.
- It is our pleasure Valerie, I am glad you could join us. Best wishes to you and your family and have a great day. :)
i love all your works, make me homesick sometimes living in cold europe watching you. miss home the southeast asian home and back then as a kid i go foraging with my dad when the tide goes back.
CyJeren - Happy memories. 😊
And this is why I subscribed to you just now, informative videos. I grew up at the coast and we ate everything and never knew/thought about the precautions you mentioned. Thank you for that.
A Layne - It is my pleasure, I have covered this in comments many times so thought it easiest to share it openly via video. There are several things people should know and be aware of that many aren’t. Even some youtubers who should know better give bad advice and examples. From a good safety aware foundation you can build a great knowledge of foraging. We are thrilled that people are getting excited about foraging because of our videos, but we really want to make sure they have the knowledge to do it safely. 😊🐚🦀💙🍽
Lifting that rock to expose the five crabs was the "Where's Waldo" of marine life. I didn't see a single one of them until you started pointing them out, lol.
Lorie Flickinger - Lorie over the last few days I have seen your comments and your replies to a few other people’s comments, and you are fast becoming one of my favourite posters. 😊👍🏻 I’m really glad you found our channel and thank you. 💙
@@TheFishLocker
What a kind thing to say! ♥️
But, it should be ME thanking YOU!I only found this channel recently, but I immediately subscribed and have been savoring the past videos...I enjoy them so much!
I believe you have all the knowledge and skill to turn this UA-cam channel into a lucrative career beyond this site. Somebody, Discovery or NatGeo or the Food Network would be lucky to have you; you are an undiscovered gem. I hope to be among the first to say I knew you before you become rich and famous!
Until then, you get back to work and I will continue happily watching. 😉
Lorie Flickinger - Who knows what the future may hold? 😊
Ah just what I needed after a cold and stressful day at work 😊 lovely to see you all out together . I've never seen squid eggs before , I always learn something from your videos! It's good to see an excavator in its natural environment 😁 just where they should be 💛🐚🐙🎣
Roxie Morrell - Haha. Those excavators seem to be multiplying. We see them everywhere. 😛
These are some of my absolute favorite videos to watch! Always fun to see a coastal foraging video from the Fish Locker!!!
dethaddr - Thank you very much. This was just a short family walk on the beach. 😊🐚🦀
You know your stuff , really enjoyed your video, thanks 👍.
D X - It is our pleasure. I am glad you enjoyed it. 😊👍🏻
8:47 "You found a cave?" Looks back at the camera with a quick smile. Now that's a proud Dad face.
- He makes me so proud. :D
Top show! Puts me in mind of winkling Southamton Hamble estuary with grandparents, that was close to 60 years ago now. Great to see you all out
Kevin Johnson - Theres no age limit on enjoying the coast is there. 😉👍🏻🐚
Fascinating and addictive viewing as usual,brilliant.
Brian Harris - Thank you Brian, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for your content ! I love watching your videos, I find them very educational and therapeutic at the same time !
Michelle Proudfoot - It is our pleasure Michelle. All the best and have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻
You walking holding James’s hand was too precious for words.🥰
- He is my absolute joy. He makes me so proud. Both of our children do. :D
I've just been watching your channel for a week now, late at night when I cant sleep. Very calming and educational, really glad I've stumbled upon it. Your son is adorable 😊 beautiful family.
VanessaHBIC - Thank you Vanessa and welcome to our channel. I am glad you are finding the videos good viewing and educational. That is the main aim. We are sharing what we love doing in the hope it I’ll help others to learn and love it to. James is a little superstar isn’t he. 😊💙 Best wishes an have a great day. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I have definitely learned lots. I've even looked into some locations where I live to possibly take my family shelfishing. I'm in the US, in Massachusetts where our coast is plentiful in seafood. And yes, James is absolutely a superstar 😊
I love your videos...so informative and positive. Please keep up the good work.
- Thank you Candice, we will do our best to continue. In the meantime I hope you enjoy working your way through our content. If you have any questions please just leave us a comment :)
Your video popped up. I clicked. I love it. 🥰
- Thats great to hear, welcome to our channel and I hope you enjoy the rest of our content. :)
Ha that’s so strange I behaved in exact the same way!
I love love love this channel
Yes. As already mentioned. Fantastic advice that makes so much sense, ONLY when your told about it. Top marks to your show mate!
Julian Griffiths - It is our pleasure Julian. All the best and have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻
Full of information, helpful advice & basic common sense as usual & them whelk shells must be the biggest I've ever seen, beautiful location too!!
Shore Fishing Essex - Thanks mate. Just sharing a bit of common safety awareness with folks. The foraging videos have created a lot of interest and I thought it a good idea to cover some basics for people, as although a lot of it is common sense - a lot of people still don’t know. Looking forward to your visit mate. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀
I'm counting down the days John!!
Another stunning masterclass in shoreline identification and foraging techniques. Your family beach walks create a 'fascination overload' for us sea lovers! Especially welcomed by landlocked divers during all the lockdowns! Thank you 🙏.
"I found a cave!" Isnt he just darling! Your family has such a beautiful relationship with one another, I can guarantee once your little one gets older the memories you all make here together will be cherished dearly. I hope if he ever has little ones of his own he will take them to explore the beaches like you did with him. These kind of parent/child relationships are rare these days.
Johnlocked the impala - It baffles me that you say that, as why wouldn’t parents what to do these things with their children? There is nothing I would rather be doing? Watching him explore and figure things out is honestly such a rewarding experience. I just love it. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker Three weeks later and the world is closing down because of the corona virus. What is totally baffling to me is how many online are complaining that they don't know what they're gonna do with their kids unexpectedly out of school for three weeks or more. [We just closed our schools for three weeks in our province]. I do not understand the dilemma. We would have celebrated an unexpected 3 weeks of kidlet being home. So many things to explore on our little plot of land, lots of free time to spend in the kitchen as we delve into different ways to cook out of the pantry, all the arts & crafts supplies waiting to be opened and big projects tackled, so many things to do. I was always surprised when Kidlet's friends would remark "my parents don't do stuff like this" after we spent an afternoon learning how to build different kinds of fires for cooking, heat, banking for overnight etc.
It makes me sad to read "These kind of parent/child relationships are rare these days".
Sue Zoo - I share your sadness. It is the same the world over.
That was an awesome welk shell. Hope I spelled that rite. Amazing video again.
TacoViolator - Whelk. 😉 Yes they do get to some size. 😊🐚
Really interesting video, there's so much life on the coast
terriberri87 - We absolutely love the coast. So much vibrant life and variety. It is where primitive life in the UK started out foraging from the bountiful shores.
omg I can't get enough of these coastal foraging videos - please keep making them regularly! if you desire video ideas, if you can make one focusing on shellfish like the crabs and lobsters, that would be SO dope. Don't know how I ended up on your channel but I'm glad UA-cam did it's thing!
- Thank you very much Bailey, we definitely intend on keeping making the videos, the only thing that holds us back is the winter weather unfortunately. But we will be doing them when we can. :)
The Fish Locker we will be sticking around for better weather! Keep doing you! 👍🏼
As kids we used to find lots of the red crabs and the green crabs, in the rocks on the beaches of pembrokshire. Also the lots of the little fish. Watching this brings back so many happy memories. Given a chance when I see rock pools I still spend hours looking.
- It is something that you never stop loving. I have been doing it all my life and still find it fascinating. :)
I look forward to doing it again when all this is over, and I will be able to identify some of the seaweed and look out for other things I've not noticed before. 😀
Finally a family video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love the video, awesome as always, thank you 🙂
Cary Pearson - The new COPPA UA-cam rules may mean that these are a thing of the past I’m afraid.
The Fish Locker What a bummer! These times we live in huh? Geez 🙄
Love your videos … wishing all well.
Jay Cavender - Thank you Jay, best wishes to you. 😊
Going to love taking my girls to the beach now, can finally tell them what the different seaweed and shells are. Really enjoying these vids. Thank you.
- It is a wonderful activity Trev. I have honestly been waiting since before our son was born to be able to teach him these things. :)
Yes! My favorite types of video. I’m too lazy to go out and do it myself so it’s great to see others do it. 😂😂
Oof Oof - Haha. Get yourself down on the beach. Who knows you may enjoy it. 😛
Very educational too just Amazing and You have a Sweet little Family 😃
- Thank you very much Ben and welcome to our channel. I am glad that you enjoyed our video. We are simply sharing what we love doing. Best wishes and have a nice day. :)
@@TheFishLocker special videos.
May you all keep growing. Take good care and Best Wishes 🙌
Fairly new to the channel but have watched quite a few videos already. I know bit about wild flowers and plants and it's very interesting to start to learn more about coastal plants and animals. Your knowledge holds no bounds.
ZOMBIE FOX GAME - Thank you and I am pleased to hear you are enjoying our content. I love learning new things about the natural world. 😊🌿🐚
It's storming something fierce here tonight, but I've got the soothing background sounds of the beach and The Fish Locker to listen to while I cook dinner! If only I could get good fresh seafood this far inland to cook up. Great video as usual.
KAKADOUJACK - Thank you very much. What’s for tea tonight? 😛🍽
Teeth on that jaw bone,a sea urchins mouth...John what a fantastic video this is and finding the squid eggs...think you said squid,anyway when the tide comes in what a great place to spend a couple of hours snorkeling.Well done cracking stuff 👌 John.Looking forward to the next instalment.
Joyce Hennequin - The whole area is a wonder of nature. Yes squid eggs. I am glad you enjoyed the video Joyce. All the best to you and the family and have a great weekend. 😊🐚🦀🌿
Thanks for a lovely walk along the beach - all without leaving the comfort of my own home!!
- It is our pleasure Marion. I am glad that you enjoyed joining us. 😊
This is like the best marine biology class I've ever attended 🤣. Immense respect for how much knowledge you have. Love from India
- Thank you. 😊
Been watching this since 6pm(currently 9pm in Malaysia) and I’m loving it! Keep up the good work! Gained a subscriber.
Garry Matthew - Thank you Garry. Welcome to our channel. 😊👍🏻
Really enjoy these videos all the way from the state of Texas in the United States. Please continue!
Hector Coria - Thank you Hector. Where in TX are you from? I spent a bit of time in Houston a while back. 😊
@@TheFishLocker in East Tx, Lufkin Tx that is. About 2.5 hrs from Houston. I go as often as I can to Galveston and Crystal Beach for my fishing. Yeah, love Houston but sure is Hot and Humid during the Summer time.
Hector Coria - It sure is. I have a couple of little creek fishing vids from near Houston on the channel. 🎣👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker what the title so I can watch them?
Hector Coria - ua-cam.com/video/dB1O7l1DKLk/v-deo.html
lovely way to spend a day with the family
s R - No better way to spend the day in my opinion. Out in the open air enjoying the world with the family. Perfect. 😊👍🏻🐚🦀💙
You find so many things I regard as a treasure like empty shells and so on. Each time you pick one of those things up and then put it back, I feel like "oh no, keep it!" :D
QuiltingCrow kills me too! Lots of people in the aquarium hobby would love the shells for shell dwelling freshwater cichlids.
- We have a little jar with our really special shells in but I prefer to leave them if we can. As you know they can provide homes for other creatures and eventually break down and become the sand. :)
Ur vids just literally bring happiness and calmness into my world 😊
Tiina Saviir - I am so very glad that we can help bring you joy Tiina. 😊💙
Great stuff fish locker family always a joy to see your videos. All the best guys

Hannah that dish you made on the last video looked delicious. Nice seeing your whole family on this video. The possibilities are endless for you and John because you all already have the followers. Such a nice family. Best wishes. Team FL
- Thank you Rosemary, we are truly just sharing what we love doing. Hopefully these restrictions are lifted soon and we can get back out and make some more videos. :D
Appreciate your defense of my comment. I’ll keep my comments apolitical and more sensitive. Love the channel.❤️👍
- It is no problem James. A think everyone is a little tightly wound atm, people will get offended no matter what you say. Take care and stay safe. ;)
Great to get out on the coast with the family John, my dad did it with us, and I took my 3 when they were about the size of the little fella, keep them coming m8. Davey.

Your knowledge of marine life is astounding. From the fish to the tiniest things on the beach, you know what everything is. What is your background, if you don’t mind me asking? Are you by chance a marine biologist? I just love the knowledge you share on your channel.
PNWSillyHeart
I was going to ask the exact same thing :)
PNWSillyHeart - I come from a coastal town and spent my childhood on the shore with my siblings and cousins. This began my passion for marine life. I did study marine biology and eventually became a fisheries officer for several years protecting the local area. I am now just a passionate amateur sharing my love for the outdoors with people. 😊🦀🐚🐟💙
The Fish Locker
Your videos are brilliant, no stupid music or over the top acting or constant endorsing of products.
Simple, detailed, honest information and entertainment.
I’m a fly fisherman and in these cold months have been looking to sea fish and your videos are inspiring and have helped me lots, well done and thank you! 👍
The Fish Locker Well, then! That explains it, doesn’t it?!!? Keep up the lovely work!!!
MrMarko4 - That is great to hear Mark. I hope to do some fly fishing this year. I have done a little but it is a discipline I feel I can improve on 😉😆
i get excited when i see an upload from you seem like a happy family .peace from dublin
- Thank you. We have our moments but we try and make sure that we are having fun and enjoying ourselves no matter what we are doing. :)
@@TheFishLocker thats the secret to a happy family
Great video John plenty of information great to see you out with family, your boy James will grow up knowing more about the sea and its creatures than most kids who won't have a clue which is a shame; you should put a couple of books together John one of the shore creatures and shell and one for fish kids would love them.
fred dimble - My hope is that he will develop a love for marine life as I have. It has brought me such joy through my life. As for the books, there are some great ones already out there, mine would be lost in the crowd I fear. 🤷🏻♂️🐚🦀🐟
Lovely video as always, mate. As many people have said before, I share the happiness that I have learnt things once again. Pitty there was not a cook at the end, but you cant have everything!
Vikotnick - Haha. Yeah as I say in the video it is not a wise practice to forage around harbours and working boats. It’s a sure fire way to end up poorly. I am glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Thanks for another terrific vid John...all the best.....Bob (Isle of Wight)
Jan Bundell - Thanks Bob, take it easy mate and give our best to your good lady 😉👍🏻
