A great compliment Ozzy 89,thank you,regards,Craig.

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!

me too!!

Thank you Crepe Maister,I have a video on my channel on how to make and use these,regards Craig.

Crepe Maister I thought that was impressive too.

really pleased you like the channel 2534will, being Welsh (Cymraeg)is a definite advantage,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.

Thank you for your kind words ABSCParadigm,I hope to upload 2 or videos per month,regards Craig

Glad you like it Celia, I will publish another video on Friday, regards Craig

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.

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.

You are welcome Matthew,more to come,regards Craig

Thank you Awesomeness!!!,regards Craig.

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

Hi D Devries ,many thanks for another great comment from you,glad you like it.Kind regards Craig.

Hi Jackiee,I'm really pleased the videos help you,Hello from Wales UK,kind regards Craig.

Cheers from Wales UK anthony 2485,regards Craig.

anthony2485 I’m from Lowell, nice too see another Mass. resident in here.

I lived 20 mins east of lowell and 20 mins north of Boston :D.

I think the shellfish would be too contaminated from.nuclewr debris to be edible.

Glad you like it Marvsjo07,regards Craig.

yes sir i used to be foraging when im little boy with my late grandpa so i miss this im glad you are making this videos thank you very much sir..

I'm really pleased to remind you of your grandpa Marvisjo07,kind regards Craig.

Hi Denie,I'll let you into a secret-so do I,Lol,kind regards Craig

Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans .....Thanks For Amazing Video Craig! One of My Favorite Really I Enjoy it 💖💫🎉✨💝😘

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.

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

Thank you beng,we are really spoilt here in Wales UK,regards Craig.

Many thanks for your kind words Kaleigh, glad you like my videos, regards Craig

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

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

Thank you Fatima,glad you like them ,regards Craig.

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
