Interview with Sam Clothier - The Wet Mammal Today's episode is with Sam Clothier of the ! From the UK and now based in Sydney, he's a very interesting dude, quite well traveled and absolutely froths on spearing! He makes great underwater content, has done a Hike and Spear video series and his latest series is called "Spearfishing The Undesirables" where he tries and tastes the so called "undesirable" fish species to see if they're terrible or if everyone is missing out on some hidden gems, examples include Bonito, Longfin Pike, the Old Wife and the Southern Fusilier to name a few. How to hunt them, prepare them and make them taste great! We also chat about Sam's own spearfishing journey and how he spent many years consistently hyperventilating before a dive, training advice and some actionable tips for noob spearos!
