Coastal Foraging - Mussels, Clams, Crab and Lobster - Clean and Delicious Cookup Autumn 2022

Coastal Foraging on the shore line at low tide for delicious edibles is one of our favourite things to do. Exploring rock pools and tide pools searching for Crabs, Lobster, Clams and other sea life is not only fascinating but is a great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. Then after collecting what we needed for a meal I explain how to prepare them safely. Give advice on how to forage safely for wild food before a delicious family cook up teaching you how to cook Mussels.

    Within about ten minutes of you starting this video you managed to cover and explain all the important points of foraging, doing it ethically and sustainably, good care of your shellfish, ie the air pump in the bucket allowing you to have the best possible product at the end of the day. Brilliant post and lovely to see Spargo doing his stuff and I hope young James enjoyed the cross country run. Keep up the good work buddy, all the best to you and yours.

    Except for always take from as close to the low tide mark as you can. You don’t want to be eating a mollusc that’s been in the sun and out of water 1/2hr after the high tide turn. I was told this from a young age by my grandfather🍺🍺

Happy daughter in law and even happier mussels. I like to imagine their descendants cheering as I walk past. Maybe they’ll erect a statue of me, one day. Another wonderful video; thank you.

    Having lived at the shore all my life and enjoyed seafood, watching your films takes foraging to a whole new level, mainly because of your prodigious knowledge and enthusiasm. But for goodness sake be careful out there! You've a lovely lady and a smashing wee lad so no risks are worth taking. You don't come across as a greedy person, which is a big plus! Greed makes people take chances when tired or when the weather is turning bad. One problem I've had with mussels is that wherever I collect them ( live in the West Coast of Scotland ) and in the cleanest water they usually have pearls in the flesh which cant be purged. Not too good for the teeth! Haven't seen any tips regarding this problem. I try to take them away from sandy areas, but it makes no difference. Nobody else seems to have this problem.
