Who Is Atomic Shrimp?

Atomic Shrimp is a British YouTuber well-known for his English variety YouTube channel.  

He is popular for his videos, where he engages in scam-baiting, foraging, cooking, reviews, and an ongoing project called Weird Stuff in a Can.

In that series, he buys and evaluates odd food preserved in cans. Similar to James Veitch and other well-known scambaiters, he responds to scam emails in his scambaiting series "OK" with humor. 

He also reviews items from sites like Wholesome Fish. The most watched series on his channel is his scambaiting series. He has previously indicated that he is not interested in only scambaiting videos and will continue producing varied stuff.

Thus, we can find several other videos besides Scambaiting, such as the Real and Fake product series, Randon Stuff, and some science experiments. 

But his primary series includes scam videos predominantly on financial scams. He frequently enjoys wasting the con artists' time by responding in a lighthearted manner and extending the con.

Due to the fraudsters' dry humor and effective aggravation, the scambaiting section of his channel is his main source of views. Mike has been active on YouTube for more than 15 years. On November 11, 2008, Atomic Shrimp signed up for this social media network and started his channel.

Atomic Shrimp has more than 902k subscribers, and his channel has received more than 142,544,147 views as of September 2022.

He also has an Instagram account under the moniker "The Atomic Shrimp" in addition to his YouTube page. On his account, he shares anything related to his interests, including shots of nature, beer, bugs he shoots, and occasionally, selfies of him.

What Is Atomic Shrimp's Real Name?

Atomic Shrimp, real name Michael "Mike" Walter, is well known for his moniker. He has mentioned the story behind the selection of such a unique moniker on his website.

He chose Atomic Shrimp Productions for a fictional movie production firm because he thought it would be fun to combine two terms that don't really go together. He was then born when he purchased the relevant web domain names as they became available. 

He is married to his wife, Jenny, with two adorable kids. The family lives together with two dogs in between Southampton and Portsmouth. Though he rarely shares his personal life on social media, we can see his pet dog on his account playing with him. Jenny, Mike's wife, has occasionally appeared in his cooking films as Atomic Shrimp.

In addition to making videos on YouTube, Mike enjoys foraging for food, experimenting in the kitchen, doing a variety of crafts, working with multimedia, and planning. At the end of August 2020, Mike, an IT manager, resigned to focus solely on his YouTube channel.

Some of his videos on cooking are:

  • One Day, One Pound, Three Meals: A Strictly Budget Challenge
  • Delicious Stinging Nettle Soup! - Recipe And Foraging Advice
  • A Weekend on 97p a Day: A Food Challenge on a Tight Budget
  • Random Stuff - Mystery Chocolate, Food Combos, Meon Valley Trail, Comment Positivity
  • Chance Cube Cuisine Challenge: 5 Dishes From the Same Randomly Picked Ingredients, and so on.
  • Similarly, some of his science experiment videos are:

  • Making a Simple Charcoal BBQ Hearth From a Helium Gas Bottle
  • Can I Make Stained Glass Panes From Sea Glass (Beach Glass)?
  • Hobby Electronics & Lichen Identification - Together at Last!
  • Most of his videos are extremely educating and insightful; do not try to copy his science experiments at your home.
