This is real catch and cook. So tired of all these other channels not doing the "cook" part justice. They always catch it and it's awesome, then they burn the fish on a foil tray they probably didn't wash before. This is what catch and cook means, and it's really satisfying.
jim halpert because people want a quick and easy way to cook their catch. After fishing for 12+ hours, the last thing anyone would want to do is spend a long period of time cooking.
@@themontaukmonster1 who is forcing them to stay outdoors? They could keep it in a cooler and cook it the next morning or when they get home. Nobody said you have to cook it on the spot. Those are just excuses.
Make a nice seafood red miso broth with that lobster head, add some seaweed and lightly chopped herbs, ah ~~ then relax for the evening, its delicious. Same with Salmon head, I usually make a huge pot of broth, freeze them and then use them for weeks later.
Yo this sh- was BOMB. Casually making gourmet ramen out on a beach, with lobster you caught yourself while freediving... Lowkey highkey unbelievable content
Bro night diving is so fun although I’ve never done it... but my dad told me stories when he went and he said it was fun and he found an eel chasing his bag of fish and lobster 😂
I just ate some pizza and beer jerky... Yeah weird combo I know. Im a man of food. That why when I hear my dude say I hope yout not hungry and im like thats why I ate before I watch your videos...... And here I am 10 minutes later starving like I hadnt ate in days lol. Your the onky one in my opinion who can make a grown man whos full feel like he's starving haha Not even the famous chef Ramsey can do what you do . I love your videos man I cannot stop watching... And now eating hahaha
Taku...you sure had a great time diving in shallow waters for LA Lobsters...you are a gifted chef showing what can be done with common foods...thank you and Hiro for the great ideas...see you
Dude I am a chef at an Italian restaurant and a restauranteur but the outdoor chef life is what I’m all about and I’m quickly transitioning to Texas jungle type of cuisine and wild game in the great outdoors!
The best thing about your channel is that it is obvious how happy & grateful you are to actually be able to make a living doing what you love. And you deliver...great footage, cooking skills and interesting content! Congrats! Since I can’t get my hands on the lobster...where can I get the spoons?!?!
Love the new stove, upgrade! . Now the wind won't be such an issue. Looks delicious as always. I'm salivating over here on my side. Morning 7:30am Manila.
Hi, This is my first time watching your own show. Before You were with Matt’s and those are great too. I love watching you prepare the food. It is a treat in itself. I cannot put into words how I would love to be there watching and eating. I definitely will watch many more of your productions. Peace and love, Dennis
Keep doing what you’re doing, I love these videos - they just keep getting better! Also, I wasn’t hungry at the start of the video, but now I’m starving...
knife really IS life. my first purchase as a private chef was a beautiful damascus santoku knife, and ive used that bad boy every day since. Clients LOVE seeing this knife come out in their kitchens
Hawaiian Sea Salt... What, no Fijian Sea Salt :) Great first dive Taku (yes, most folks don't realize the wonderful harvest waiting for them at any harbor/breakwater and no scuba gear needed) Your presentation of the catching, cleaning and preparing... and of course the final meal is always so subtle (Great soundtrack), uplifting with your positivity and last, but not least the IPA's you share with us.... No, oh wait, it's Sake' :) Always a blast to watch your videos... still praying & crossing my fingers & toes that abalone season will soon be open again in NorCal. C'mon Fish & Wildlife... open up the Channel Islands !
I love his passion for this. I also love the enthusiasm of his partner. It's really good to see a woman being unashamed to eat and genuinely enjoy the food . You can see that they are both passionate about it. Is she a chef too?
Thanks Taku. After many years of spear fishing I am inspired to go lobster diving. Took vacation on August 31 to be out there at midnight on first day of the season. The lobster ramen did it. Excited to make that. Probably not as tasty in warm Maui. Ha ha. Your videos are inspiring, educational, and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
*Sizzling butter sounds as I see two lobsters cooking on the grill* My stomach: *Massive Rumbling Noise* My boyfriend, seating across the room: "You okay sweetie?". 😭
@@jessl1835 I will never understand women in my life lol, and something about that beautifully grilled lobster got me drooling! But I know the cheap ass frozen lobster we have here won't be half as good
@@lobomonos5009 Don't know about other ladies but reason I didn't tell him in my case was that I knew he would get hungry (and then we both be craving it , because we can't afford the delicacy right now lol). I never thought my stomach would be such a loud traitor and I had my headset on so I knew he couldn't hear the video: I was right on the video sounds but boy was I wrong regarding my stomach. 😆
I know that feel. I've fallen victim to it before. It's too sad that I don't have spicy Korean ramen to enjoy while watching this. It's almost midnight right now and I wish we lived near a nice Japanese restaurant that was open. Or if they'd just open one near me.
Love your videos man! Excellent, excellent production quality and always enjoyable to watch all the way through. This lobster one really got me jealous!
I'm sure someone else will tell you this, but that guy could have gotten in trouble w F&G for having that many lobsters in a bag, even if they were all legal. You need to make sure your lobsters are legal before they go in the bag. It's better for the lobsters and will keep you out of trouble.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one to notice that. That would/should have been a hefty fine. Most likely would have been fined for two things: undersize and over limit.
@@jayjackson9250 HEY!!........Dan speaks the truth here! If you dive or fish any where......you better follow the damn rules! You ruin it for everyone else , when you don't! So with all due respect , shut the fuck up!
Yeah exactly they have rules for a reason. You can't just grab every lobster you see and shove it in a bag then bring it to shore all fucked up. They need to have some respect.
@@thomaskim7158 The law states you do that in the water prior to putting them in the bag, that's what made me cringe. Besides, when they were sorting the small ones they didn't immediately return them to the water. Any game warden would have cited them for that. Edit: autocorrect error
Vegans, they're everywhere. If you stomp on them and kill them, their eggs might get stuck on the bottom of your shoes and you may carry them home with you unknowingly. Then they'll infest your home.
Awesome vids I love the recipes and cooking techniques. Just to be clear for those attempting to catch lobster for themselves it is illegal to catch and bag under size lobster and measure them on shore or aboard a boat. You must measure and release short lobster without taking them into possession which means you cannot bag them or keep them in any device to be measured at a later time. Also you cannot possess more that 7 legal lobster so a bag of 20 mixed legal and short sized lobster to be sorted later is illegal. Dive safe everyone happy hunting!!
I can sit here and watch y’all’s videos all day lol I love when you are done cooking and y’all sit down with your beers and eat the food! Looks so good!
MOUTH WATERING, LOOKS COLD, BET THE RAMEN WAS JUST PERFECTLY WARMING. HOLY COW, THE BUTTERY LOBSTER WAS JUST AMAZING, WELL DONE, 300 DOLLAR DINNER, HARD TO BEAT VIEW. I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT ALL ELSE . GLAD I FOLLOW YOU.

Tom Matsumoto just a little bit of butter...
@@edwinbond5995 a wee bit of butter is like 4 sticks of butter.
Bro did talk forget about he avocado too in his older videos he used butter and avocado all the time
I miss him he stopped uploading 4 months ago :c
Mrs Frizzle he tore his Achilles’ tendon
Bro I don't even care how many times I've seen these old videos, they're worth it every time.
Here I go again
Finally, someone who doesn't throw the lobster heads away..
teng029 WHAT WHICH CHANNEL DOES THAT I SWEAR IMMA LOSE IT AND SPAM THAT CHANNEL
@@scylla8247 Hahaha
Why anyone would throw away the head is dum. Good head fat. Great for soup stock.
waste of food to throw parts u can eat away, just make it into something else.
Make a nice seafood red miso broth with that lobster head, add some seaweed and lightly chopped herbs, ah ~~ then relax for the evening, its delicious. Same with Salmon head, I usually make a huge pot of broth, freeze them and then use them for weeks later.
"I hope you're not hungry."
Me: continues watching even though I am absolutely, positively very hungry. Why I do dis to myself!?
SAME. I had just eaten more than my calories for the day on MyFitnessPal and still hungry when I saw this video but I was still like, "I'm going in!"
I legit just got home from school, I’m hungry AF and I’m still watching
Watching this while fasting... im screwed

“5-Star meal outdoor”
Agreed with that statement! The meal look so good I couldn’t help myself from drooling while watching.

Nothing better in life than cooking and eating lobster. I'm watching this again while in lockdown at home dreaming for the day I can do this...
I'm starving after just got done shoveling snow...Now I just need some fresh lobster and I would be a happy man...
“I hope you’re not hungry”
*me watching this at work during lunch now mad that I have enchiladas and not your ramen*
Enchiladas are pretty good
Ooh I love enchiladas though
OMG, that lobster ramen looks so good when you presented it in the bowls. I'm craving it now.
Ramen is Japanese. Ramyun is Korean.
@@chibibi4576 it says ramen on the title
Diving at night, open water is the most tranquil and relaxing thing in the world.
That was definitely a 5 star meal. Easily a $100 plus per bowl at a ramen restaurant. Knife skills are superb. Awesome vid
Your warning at the start was on point, what an epic outdoor meal!
This is one of the best catch and cook videos I’ve seen, that meal looked soooo good. I LOVE lobster and instantly made me want to eat it.
This videos have become my “watch while eating” videos
This is probably the GREATEST catch and cook video that I've ever seen on RUclips... EVER!
I love watching this guy eat fresh food that I could never even dream of affording at a restaurant
Keep doing what you’re doing, I love these videos - they just keep getting better! Also, I wasn’t hungry at the start of the video, but now I’m starving...
I’ve literally said “this is your best video yet” the last 20 videos you’ve done. But i’mma say it again, this is your best video yet. Lmao!
Haha thank you!
i don't know it's tied with that one Hawaiian vlog for me that was beautiful plating.
Agree with the cooking part.... i a fisher as well love good fishing rod catches
she won't leave him...man that can cook this well, will get laid infinity
Wow every episode just continues to top the last! That looks better than most lobster ramen I've had in SF for sure!
knife really IS life. my first purchase as a private chef was a beautiful damascus santoku knife, and ive used that bad boy every day since. Clients LOVE seeing this knife come out in their kitchens
You have such an envious life. Love your catch and cook seafood videos.
After a long stressful shift I love coming home to watch taku fix something amazing. You never fail to amaze me with your top tier content🤟

Soo good

it's not open water.. they are close to shore just like abalone diving 7 ft.
He fairly warned me in the beginning, and I didn’t listen...
😩
Suddenly I’m starving for lobster.
That looks amazing! These are the best outdoor catch and cook videos.
Thank you for sharing your love of life with us...Your spirit is a blessing of pure joy! Thank you!
Those spoons you're using for your ramen! I need that in my life!!!
that ramen and hot broth tastes 10x better when it's chilly weather like that. it warms you from the inside out.
Even tho I have never tried lobster I was jealous the whole entire time you guys were eating
My next recipe to try when lobster season starts up. My mouth was salivating watching this video
I'm honestly going to try it tonight. I got 5 at the store to try tonight. Thanks for the recipe Boss
Watching this video for the hundredth time and I'm not complaining! Much love
You could tell she was freezing from the start, but she toughed it out like a champ. 👍

people paying a bill and a half at a michelin restaurant for a dish almost as good as this. jesus this looks soooo good man.
Love your videos man! Excellent, excellent production quality and always enjoyable to watch all the way through. This lobster one really got me jealous!
poor jasmine is freezing. Nothing like a hot bowl of ramen on a cold day. Incredible video guys.
Omg... Now I have to go make my instant ramen pack and pretend like I'm eating that!

Still don't understand the dislike here. 🤷♀️
It's such an awesome video! Got me craving for some lobster 🤤🦞

Jake SuaVe' thanks the recommendation I’ll give it a try in the future 😁
It's definalty been around for a while
I had to stop the vid to make some tasty mushroom soup to stop drooling over the lobster presentation 😂
You are a true artist in your field of cooking. Excellent and beautiful knife work.

Thanks for the video. I watched it while sick and kinda relieved my pain thank you!!!!
Fish and Game could have crushed you big time - any lobster retained in your dive bag needs to be legal size - no measuring on shore
I can’t stand leaving the guts inside of things, just grosses me out
Great episode! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Stoked to follow along
