We ventured over to the coast of North Wales to meet up with Gethin Jones, a Welshman who has been harvesting wild food from the coast since he was 4 years old.
From digging up bait with his uncle, to selling pigeons to the local butcher and perfecting his flying duck impersonations, Gethin has led a life immersed in wild caught protein and we only manage to scratch the surface in this episode.
We do eventually get onto the topic of how to start wildfowling and the most important things to consider if you want to get involved - from the importance of identification skills, to knowledge of the waters and safety whilst out on the shore below the high water mark. Gethin regales us with stories from his own and his friend's experiences and shares what he thinks are the best bits about hunting for your own food.
If you are interested in wildfowling in the UK, you can find more information on the BASC website which Gethin references -
