- Welcome back to another week of Lifeadrift! So awesome to see so many new subscribers! We have left south Australia after an epic month of diving and camping, we loved it there. This week we crossed the Nullarbor and the border to Western Australia, we headed south and ended up at a free camp: Membinup Beach, eastern of Esperance. We could not recommend this place enough as its free and dog friendly. We caught some bad weather, lots of wind the first few days, so we ended up surfing instead, cat paddled onto her first wave by herself here. But then wow we got some good weather and we were on for some rock fishing, we only caught some herring haha but it was a bit of fun. After some herring fishing the ocean was so calm and we got the tinny into the ocean and went out to go spearfishing. Gill found an amazing Harlequin fish that he speared, you have to watch this one. Found some green lip abalone and some roe abalone, first time trying roe abalone also. We finish up with cooking the harlequin and a abalone for dinner and its the most amazing meal.

Niiiiice fish catch. Never have seen a harlequin fish before. Loved your commentary of tastiness after cooking. Great episode guys ‼️ See you next time. ✨🌊💨🚤🏝️👙🌞✨
Hey joe, harlequin fish live around the southern areas off Australia, we had never seen them either as we have lived and traveled most off the north and central Australia. This was amazing to tick off the list and they are amazing to eat.

Haha yea mate been man years off pushing her onto waves (never had an issue with standing up great balance) but this day something just clicked and she she’s a pro now.
@@LifeAdriftAU yeah mate good stuff she’s a keeper happy for you both 😍❤️but I’m telling ya mate your going have to keep all that top seafood tucker coming or she might head back to Europe😢 you’ve spoilt her now 🤣🤣🇦🇺🇦🇺🎣
Good episode 👏
Thanks so much Russ! We really appreciate the comment 🤙🏻
Great vid WA Dhu and Baldy are our best eating fish. ( I think anyway)
Can’t wait to try Dhu! 👌
Good Stuff 👍
Glad you enjoyed mate. Thanks for watching 😊
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼keep it up
Thanks Harry we will 🍻
Try bread crumbing the roe abs you’ll never look back 👍👍
Stick a fork in them so they don’t slide away and bash them 6 times only on the foot side 😋then crumb em
Yep we’ll definitely give that a go next time 👌🏻👌🏻
All that is required is 👍👍
Thanks a lot mate 🤙
Cut abs into strips and shallow fry like chips
Will try that next time thanks
Read the ‘olive oil’ labels carefully, what your using in this video is a blend of olive oil and refined other vegetable oils that ain’t good for you. 100% extra virgin olive oil much better for you:)
Yeah it’s from Aldi… we usually buy extra virgin haha but yeah you’re right thanks mate 👌
Just found your channel watching from California. Great episode, looking forward to more 🎣👍👏
Ah Awesome thanks so much for joining 🤩☀️
Nice one! What did you both do for work before you started your trip?
Hey mate my self Gil have been an electrician in the coal mines in NSW for the passed 10 years and cat was managing a cafe in our home town newcastle. 👍
Wonderful spot you camped! Keep up the vlogs, they’re super sick!
Thanks mate we bloody loved it. Still can’t believe how good that fish was to eat.
how good is the dog at surfing
Hello!!! What is that beautiful fish called? 8:00 It looks like the Grouper family....Thank you for your fantastic videos.
Yeah mate how beautiful is it, and such good eating, best we’ve had yet in the trip! They call them Harlequin fish, thanks for watching 🎣
@@LifeAdriftAU Thank you for the information, and I wish you good fishing.
@@LifeAdriftAU Yes .....Othos dentex (Harlequin fish)...(video RUclips ) 🤩
Yelp they are extremely good eating. One off our favourite fish 🐠
Re: Abalone.
My best two ways are tenderised, seasoned and cooked whole like a steak (4 to 6min) then sliced after they relax for 1min.
Or
Sliced into 2 or 3 potato cakes
(Sliced lengthways)
Then tenderised
Then coated in Tanco Fish seasoning.
Then fried in bacon fat (or olive oil)
So tender it's almost hard to believe it's abalone
Awesome we gotta try that 😍🙌🏼
@@LifeAdriftAU You could slice into 2 or 3 potato cakes.
Season
Coat with your Kelloggs flakes
Cook in olive oil and try that too.
You already have that stuff on hand 😉
Wait till you taste WA dhuie
Can’t wait mate just have to find one. You got any tips? Haha
Mostly caught out of a boat try befriend someone.The is a ban on in some parts till start of April to help replenish stocks.Msg me when you get to Busselton mate
Yea mate we will keep in touch would love to catch up. Are you able to send me a msg on our Insta having trouble finding you there.
Great vid there, plenty of abalone on the south coast to keep you fed, I will give that recipe a go…. Was it a whole tub of sour cream? I suggest getting an abalone knife or use a big screwdriver so you don’t blunt your dive knife 👍
Thanks mate.
Yea there is so many in different places. The green lip live in much different county to the black lip.
I put two big table spoons in for two green lip so if you stay around that ratio will be fine. And as much garlic as you like haha.
My dove knife is passed the days off being sharp. I recon that a screw driver would be sharper haha 😂
😃😃😃👍👍👍❤❤❤
just came across the channel and instantly subscribed , these are awesome and super inspiring as I want to do road trip like this. love that you have the dog along for the journey as I love dogs and yours is adorable and perfectly trained. please keep the videos coming :)

What butane cooker do you have?
This is just a butane one from anaconda mate. Hasn’t missed a beat the last few months. We also have a LPG stove in the van
Can’t figure out her accent?
A few people have said this. It’s Swedish. Not as strong accent as cat has been in Australia now for 5 plus years

Fun episode guys! You're making me hungry looking at that catch of seafood that you're munching away on!
Yelp this was our favourite fish so far for the trip. Thanks for the nice comment your a bloody legend. 🍻
Another awesome Ep.
As a diver, that seal scared the sh$t out of me!!!
Wow, the Panko vs Kellogg battle... that's a big call, I'll go buy some Kelloggs.
Never had abalone like that, will try.
Great channel, so relaxed and chilled, great team work. And Scooby so wants those fish coming over the side 🤣
We will have to try that method off cooking the abalone. Thanks for the tip.
Haha yelp also scared the crap out off me as well I was lining up the harlequin fish when the seal come in bloody hot as well.
Yelp try the Kellogg’s you won’t look back I recon. 👌
I think she want to get all the fish but never actually touches one if we give her a chance. She’s all for show haha
@@LifeAdriftAU Cooking Whole came from a local Chef, was amazing.
The Abalone Potato Cake way from a fellow diver who put that method up against a Chef from a Resort.
His method won, the chef had to agree.
😃
Thanks for watching and commenting
🐠🛥️🐶🍻🤞😊
Harlequin are one of the tastiest in the sea! They also come in a couple of different colours, red with yellow spots
This is our 1st time encountering harlequin fish they are so delicious and fun to hunt
@@LifeAdriftAU they don’t run, they virtually sit there and stare you in the face 😂
I'm new and I liked it, just a shame it isn't on long 👍👍
Awesome Bob! Thanks so much for joining us ☀️
Excelente Nice
Thankyou my friend.
I liked the dog surfing and a great relaxing time for you two great stuff
Yeah it sure was, such a relaxing spot! She’s definitely the best surfer in our fam haha. Thanks for watching George! 🤙🏻☀️
You guys living the dream, awesome
We are loving being out every day and a new adventure, thanks so much for watching 👌
Hi. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks mate that’s really nice 🍻
Thank you mate. We sure hope that we get a few more only been doing this for a little over two months it’s been going great so far.
Great videos. Enjoy your travels.
Thanks so much Suzanne 😍
I hope the fisheries officers don't see the Abalone you must be very close to the limit champ. The fines are horrendous good way to ruin a holiday. If you have a licence?
I hope you don’t accuse everyone on RUclips with out knowing any facts or figures.
Ofc we have a abalone and fish licence, if I email you a copy off the receipt will it help you sleep at night?
Good one champ 👍
and yet comfort is of great importance for you ... a cleaned area, a fence from the wind and more!
Plenty of good spots to see as you keep coming west. I hope you've allowed plenty of time to see as much as possible. I'm based in Albany, the south coast beaches are some of the world's best
We are at east bay camp ground atm. Very close to you. Yes we are taking our time and seeing as much as possible with our dog.
Great little spot. Plenty of good whiting, flathead and squid in close. Roe abalone all round the rocks and some good reef fish in the centre of the bay
Saw one of your other comments. Some reef in centre/east of bay holds some nice size dhui. Don't even have to leave the bay
Thanks you Garry we have our small tinny so that could be an option for us. Are the areas marked on the charts? Got some green lips from a shelters little bay for dinner yesterday afternoon.
Does your sounder have a chart plotter for gps coordinates? Could give you some marks
Another Great Vid!
Thanks legend for watching 🙌🏼
HA HEADS UP IF UR TAKEING ABOLONI TWO WEEKS AGO THATS STILL OUT OV SEASON HERE IN WA 😠 WHICH UV DONE ON CAMERA IS A HEAFTY FINE 😕 HOPE NO ONE FROM FISHERIES WATCHS THIS
Roe and Greenlip Abalone: Southern zone- is Open from October 1 to May 15.
