Join John Locker of The Fish Locker YouTube channel for an exceptional coastal foraging expedition that combines outdoor adventure with gourmet cooking. In this captivating video, John takes us on a journey along the Cornish coastline at low tide, hunting for delicious edibles before transforming his catch into a mouthwatering feast. What makes this video special is the perfect blend of practical foraging knowledge, sustainable harvesting practices, and culinary expertise that comes together in a genuine family cookup.
The adventure begins with John making his way down to a rocky shoreline during a windy autumn day. He immediately shares an important seasonal tip about shellfish foraging: the old adage of only collecting filter-feeding shellfish in months containing the letter βRβ (September through April). This traditional guideline helps avoid toxic algae that accumulate in shellfish during summer months. Itβs this kind of practical knowledge, delivered in Johnβs approachable style, that makes the video both educational and accessible.
