“Kia Ora “ Māori greeting to you Taku- There is a Māori indigenous story around paua with which I am happy to share on your return to Aotearoa. “Paua to the people” 😂
Kia ora Taku. Great to see more NZ content. Loved what you did with all the seafood. Just something some of us Maori do with the cream paua is we mix the stomach in with the cream mix, it boosts the flavour. I actually thought you might do it. Anyway I was salivating, drooling while watching you prep this one. Oh another thing we do is wrap the crayfish and Bury it raw for a few days, smells strong but some of us love it this way. A bit like what the Inuit people do with seal. Great to see you and Jocelyn still here. More to see brother.
Abalone is one of my favorite things on the planet. I used to order this fried abalone sandwich 2x a week from this restaurant of all places, in Reno Nevada. Phenomenal.
I don't think we can dive in California for abalone anymore. But we can buy it canned. But might not be real. I miss them. While we drove for abalone, kids would forage for little snals around the rocks butter garlic with a little hot sauce made those a tasty appetizer
Yea, only commercial and the limits are very strict. This was back in 1996. If you do find it, it is usually at some Schwanky restaurant on the coast and costs $100. The last time Insaw it on a menu was in Los Gatos (40 minutes east of Santa Cruz) and that was in 2018.
I actually enjoy watching your channel now more than most of my other subscriptions. Keep up the good work mate. Love watching your NZ series in our beautiful country here. Giving me ideas of recipes to use on our local fish :)
It looks like Taku found a long-lost sibling. Or maybe he's interviewing for a double? lol What an amazing spread. Left me drooling, though when Taku makes food, that's just normal.
🌴 hey Taku & Jocelyn, the free dive is interesting, when you dive all these places it’s interesting to see the different bottom structures from one area of the world to another, and the different fish, shellfish , and then there’s the feast afterwards, done by a friendly sushi chef , cold beer what a day ! 👍🏼
I love how you cook soooo many different things at once! Your always spot on! I watch your RUclips channel everyday. It makes me soooo hungry for your cooking 😂😊
Taku your content is so chill and cozy. Just going out, sustainably harvesting from the ocean, making friends, cooking for them. I'm glad you got to this point with youtube and get to share these adventures.
Could you please do an in-depth video on sashimi, especially how flavour and texture changes with age? I see you eating sashimi on the day of or day after catch, but a lot of other people seem to wait a few days. Do you change how you prepare it depending on age? As always, love what the two of you do!
Holy Moley!!! That spread looks UHHHMAZING!! Thank you so so much for these videos, and that kelp chili.. just ordered my 3rd jar. It's bigger, and so deeeelicious!!
We need you back here in California…but so happy to see you living your life to the fullest🤙🏽🎣next time in Monterey don’t hesitate to reach out. Bless up Chef! Patrice
I'm from Te Aro Wellington Jessie Street, originally. I lived there in the 60s and went to Mount Cook school. Live in Brisbane now. Great seeing this. Horse mussels out there too
This has been my favourite video from NV, Absolutely love all your videos though! Incredible place to film. Definitely on my must travel to list considering it is so close to me in Aus.
Guess what, Taku? My husband and I went fishing today and then stopped at a local deli for some food on the way home. And what do ya know?? They carry your kelp chili crisp! Was pretty surprised to see it here in SLC, UT. Had never been so delighted to see a condiment and had to grab one. 😂 It is delicious!
before even watching chur . for sharing nz and the sealife... foloowing up[ mad respect for the culture and seA life (def the kina) u cooked like a king oooooooa koae kaTUOA
i like the catch / cook balance of content..... 50/50 is perfect and your plating is always so pretty. you should promote your sauce more unless it is always sold out ;) edit: lol i said that at 15m in and at 16 mins out comes the chili crisp XD HA! so good.
Wicked fkn awesome Taku i luv it all bro been watching ya for few years now cheers from Massachusetts awesome grub kid! Im 46 i been working the rivers and the ocean since I was a kid i fkn luv seafood homey i could mow that entire table myself 😂
Hey taku and Jocelyn ❤ my hubby and i have absolutely loved your stuff since you last came to NZ. If your heading to the far north to the bay of islands we would love to host you. Take you diving, fishing and the rest @matauribay far north of NZ ❤
You should come to Denmark and make a video on how to use the Native fish you can catch to make proper sushi, I love making my own sushi, but often I have to go buy fish and stuff in the supermarket, I would rather know how to use the fish I can catch myself.
Off the hook! What a bunch of lucky guys to have you prepare such a meal.
Just like Taku this man will never starve, even his friends won’t either …an always makes it look good !!!
I mean, just, DAMN. You killed it man! what an amazing spread!
I also want to try spear fishing in New Zealand😁And nice food!!
Taku creates a welcoming environment that brings people together wherever he goes, even if he is visiting. That spread looked amazing.
