The cost for the boat tour is $700 AUD per person which is just a little bit less than $500 USD per person for those curious to the pricing. Pretty fair price for an 8 hour tour plus all that fresh sea food
@@lmaree200886 Tasmania started planting perigolds in 1993 with Western Australia not far behind in 1997. There are varieties that are native but as far as the commercial industry goes, Tasmania was the pioneer in that sector.
@jennysmith38 There are actually thousands of different truffles but majority are tasteless or inedible. I was mostly talking about farmed truffles not native species.
Abalone these days are small compared to when I was a kid. When I was like13 or 14 in the mid 90s a truck broke down by the beach er were at and couldn't get fixed in time, so the driver started just giving away the Abalone in the back of the truck. They were probably 3 to 4 times that size. A few years later, Abalone got heavily regulated due to overfishing, but they never really bounced back to the same sizes they were.
I'm glad you joined it Mike! Yes love this tour! We went in Winter and only two of us :) .... we got soo much food and drinks completely full! No dinner hahah
It's a great idea to recycle the oyster shells. They started doing that here in The Chesapeake Bay region. So far they have planted 11.5 Billion Oysters. As well as built or repopulated 83% of the older Oyster reefs. Been a fan of raw oysters since I was three or four.
The scallop pies are the best in all Tassie at the Salamanca markets, I have tried just about every bakery in Tassie's scallop pies but the Salamanca ones were the best in my opinion.
I have never tasted ANY of that seafood. As a child I was told I was allergic to shellfish, after having a blood test done. But I have been watching seafood videos for years now and lobster and crab is some of the main ones I would love to try one day. Especially in a local area like this. But you, Mike, by far show and explain seafood so well! I love your channel!
Such a great episode, after watching your latest video I wanted to watch your Australian videos and the song that group were singing is so nostalgic for me! I’m from the UK but my dad always sings that song whenever we are on a road trip longer than 2 hours 😂 always kept us as kids entertained by singing with him and now his grandkids ❤
Loved this episode! I live in Australia and I’m inspired to take a trip down to Tassie! Thanks for your fabulous video Mikey!!!!! Safe travels to Aotearoa!!! 🙏🏼
I would definitely book that tour, everything looked so delicious. The crew made it well worth it. I've always wanted to go down under and you made me want it even more. Stay safe and enjoy your days,from your biggest fan from Arkansas ❤😊👍🏻
Next time you come, don't miss Launceston, Hobart's smaller neighbour to the north. Incredible food scene up here too. I'm really blessed to live here.
ey it's my home ! Best seafood, and alchohol. cleanest air and water in the world. I worked at salamanca in the 90's and early 00's - so much different ! My house is in view at 7:02 :D
Tasmania is small but seafood is great. Love that market.. i had the sweetest strawberries ever there!! And it was huge too. Have fun at auckland! I find that city small compare to melb/sydney. And food aint cheap either.
Wow! Those Abalone - we call them Perlemoen in South Africa - look delicious, and those are the sizes you are allowed to take out (if you have a permit) here! Just as I used to cook them - you have tenderize them beforehand, quite correct. The Crayfish - as we call them here - also look delish!! Used to clean out the legs and antennae as well : ) Best Seafood - Yummy!! Oysters were huge too - and the salmon looked mouth watering!!
I've done that same seafood boat tour with my husband, and totally was worth it. I have no idea how you had room before and after for other food though.
Sorry Mike but you were told a bit of an inaccuracy there mate! Those people aren't the only growers of truffles as Australia has truffles growing in all Australian states now for at least 25 years. Also you're not properly tagged in your location. You are in the CITY OF HOBART which is located in the STATE OF TASMANIA which is a PART OF AUSTRALIA. Please get one of your online team to update the information cause the whole state isn't one city and you're giving out some false information even if its accidental.
I have finally out Mike Chened Mike Chen. We spent the day in Tasmania then flew to an island off the coast of Taz. You could walk to the beach and dive in (wet suit required). With a friend who is local we harvested every sea creature in this video plus mussels and huge clams. On the way in we shot a wallaby. All was prepared by my friend and his mates on a seven mile long white beach on which we were the only ones The only food that i didn't care for was Mutton Bird which is pulled from the crags of the ricky shoreline. .
You haven't showed up in my feed forever! I just thought of looking you up. I love your trips, your loving food and your delightful personality! I AM subscribed, but they didn't notify me!
Hey Mike. Been a fan of you for years keep up the content. When you’re in Auckland you should try these places 1. Green jades they have the best Chinese food 2. Lucky gs they have the best burgers and chicken in town. Hope you enjoy your time in NZ have you beautiful one 🙏
Well to be fair, this is essentially a food review channel and umami is basically a way to describe a dish's savoriness(especially dishes with meat and/or mushrooms) and since most of the foods he tries/reviews is savory, it's almost impossible for him to describe a whole 20-30min video worth of different foods/meals/dishes without using the word "umami" ‼️🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️😭😭💀💯...
I am from south africa and we have massive abalone . But it's illegal to take them from the wild any size , as it takes almost 80 years for the abalone to grow the size of your palm. Since it's a delicacy in Asia, it's been poached to death and exported . I think i need to visit Australia for some abalone
Yes! You're heading to Auckland ❤! I loved the food there, so I can't wait to see your food trip there. The lobster looked amazing & holy cow the abalone was gigantic! The tour and food was pricey but ya only live once. 😊
If you come through nelson in the south island of New zealand stop by the smoking barrel for awsome BBQ and donuts they have cheese burger donut it's a absolute must visit place
Welcome to Tasmania. Don’t forget us here in the North west. More to Tasmania than Hobart and Launceston. Don’t forget the Cape Grim Beef. Much tastier than seafood.
Tour is $700 per person in case anyone’s wondering
Quite cheap compared to other vacation places
Cheap I thought 2k 😭😭😭
2 nice crays is around $300 from a shop I'm guessing ? plus fuel and then knowledge lol, so yea if you can afford it , I'd say go for it!
$$$700.00 A LOT PRICY ...
You have done our beautiful little island state proud. It was just so wonderful that you visited and showcased our amazing cuisine 😀
I do prefer this kind of videos food review/ travel than just buffets
Yes! Me too

It’s not fresh they have brought all that seafood on the boat before the left! 😂
@@MyfairladyZ2006which was probably caught that morning at seafood market so yes fresh.
thanks for clarifying currency I thought the above comment was 700 usd haha...
Not so sure on the $$$
PRICY ...
Truffle has been growing natural in Western Australia for many years. Manjimup Truffles are world renowned.
He's definitely a bit behind with that information, he's been told a 'little fib' there! 😁
Not natural really but those people gave him a bit of false info, every Aussie state has truffles now in the last 20+ years
@@lmaree200886 Tasmania started planting perigolds in 1993 with Western Australia not far behind in 1997. There are varieties that are native but as far as the commercial industry goes, Tasmania was the pioneer in that sector.
There are around 300 native species of truffles in Australia. There are red, pink, yellow, white, purple and brown truffles here.

Its probably because they take them long before they can get to those sizes
Hey mike, thanks for showing off out great country. And also showing me a tour that is definitely a bucket list entry
Not many ppl stop by Tassie - love love love ❤️ that you are here 🇦🇺
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
yes welcome to Australia Mikey.
Actually, plenty of people stop by Tassie...
I wish I could live there, the colder the better.
I’ll come next year. Sorry, without Mikey.
I'm glad you joined it Mike! Yes love this tour! We went in Winter and only two of us :) .... we got soo much food and drinks completely full! No dinner hahah
As a Tasmanian I am so excited to watch this !!
It's a great idea to recycle the oyster shells. They started doing that here in The Chesapeake Bay region. So far they have planted 11.5 Billion Oysters. As well as built or repopulated 83% of the older Oyster reefs. Been a fan of raw oysters since I was three or four.
Is it usable with any other bivalve shells to recycle them too?
@@tktyga77 Not really with those that move around. Oysters need something to attach to. Clams and scallops, for example, do not.
The scallop pies are the best in all Tassie at the Salamanca markets, I have tried just about every bakery in Tassie's scallop pies but the Salamanca ones were the best in my opinion.
Boy, what a luxurious food festive! Envy!😉😋
Australia is always no 1 🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺 awesomeness to see u here MIKEY 😉❤🤙
Wonderful. Thanks for coming to my home!
Mike, you make all the places you go very interesting to travel to. I appreciate that! 😁
Eating scallops while listening to pirate shanties? I can't imagine many things better than that!
Yaaaaay I'm so glad you branched out closer to us 🤍🤍 hope you come to nz next x

I have grown to love your food tours, and this one is so awesome as I love fresh seafood. I hope you enjoy NZ
Loved this episode! I live in Australia and I’m inspired to take a trip down to Tassie! Thanks for your fabulous video Mikey!!!!! Safe travels to Aotearoa!!! 🙏🏼
Where's aoteahroah? Is it a new country? Never heard of it.
I would definitely book that tour, everything looked so delicious. The crew made it well worth it. I've always wanted to go down under and you made me want it even more. Stay safe and enjoy your days,from your biggest fan from Arkansas ❤😊👍🏻
A little over 11 minutes until he said Umami, love you videos
Next time you come, don't miss Launceston, Hobart's smaller neighbour to the north. Incredible food scene up here too. I'm really blessed to live here.
Fantastic video...all the seafood looked so delicious...thx for sharing your experience in Tasmania, Australia 😊🤗❤
Congratulations Australia 🇦🇺 👏. We are a secret 🙊 for awesome 👌
Well done Tasmania. 👏

I love that you’re in Australia ..x❤❤
Loving this Aussie series so far!
Everything looks really good Mike 🤙🏽
I always wanted to go to Australia. That food and boat excursion looked amazing!
Great to see you in Tassie! Sad I didn’t bump into you! If you are ever in South Australia you MUST visit the central markets on a Friday night!
Those scallops sticks are sooo good. I had two last time I was there! Love tassie seafood, best oysters in the world IMO
Mike in my home state!!!! glad you enjoyed your time here mate!!!!
That abalone looks like something else 😂😂

Gonna say that toasties cheese looks like Greyere. It sounds like it the way you described it. Probably one of my favorite cheeses ever.
Hope you had a great time in our country Australia! Visit again soon!
The scallop stick looks AMAZING!
There’s Mikey showing me what I should do in my own country. 😂
Should have checked out the wallaby burrito over at the markets too!
YUM. All that seafood looked so delicious! I'd have eaten all of it and all but begged for more.
What an amazing experience for you!
The amount of food you can eat in an hour after already eating buffet breakfast is truly impressive!
Any info on what tour this is, planing to go Tasmania soon so this works out great.
Great video , only state of Australia I haven’t visited yet, glad your enjoying your Aussie adventures:) long time subscriber here
Tasmania is so underrated
This was an awesome video!
When Mikey says “it’s pricy”, that means it’s very expensive.
I've done that same seafood boat tour with my husband, and totally was worth it. I have no idea how you had room before and after for other food though.
Crazy to see a Datsun Fairlady collectors club [and all white versions, too] pulling up behind him @1.27.
(#1) This preview is so amazing!! Thank you, Mikey!!!
That shows how much lobster meat is normally wasted 😫
If you are going to be in Adelaide, let me know happy to show you around mike. Love the videos, keep up the great work 👌
Take a shot each time he says sweet
No, that would kill me. Especially when he started an entire thing with 'I got a sweet potato' I knew I'd be doomed.

Thanks showing true quality of Aussie food!! Unlike the other huge food youtuber 🙃
I’m EARLY!!! I love watching food reviewers visiting the country that I live in.❤
I’ve also been watching dumpling for couple years now

this is a video for seafood lovers
Burning hot as well!!! Proceeds to take a huge bite 😆😁
I hope you never come across an Australian spider during your trip.😂
My home state ❤ I haven't been to Salamanca Market in a long time tho
Hey Mike.
Been a fan of you for years keep up the content. When you’re in Auckland you should try these places 1. Green jades they have the best Chinese food 2. Lucky gs they have the best burgers and chicken in town. Hope you enjoy your time in NZ have you beautiful one 🙏
16:48
Mom I can explain
Does anyone know the song at 6:21? It sounds so familiar but I can’t figure out where and it’s bugging me
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. The meat in skewers looks good. Lobsters and abalones looks so fresh and delicious, too. Nice video.
Nice seeing you in the state i live all around the island has great food
Bet you can’t go one video without saying umami 😂❤
He can’t!

It's nice seeing all the Aussie stuff on the channel the past two days, hopefully you can get to Queensland at some point XD
Love seafood I could live here ❤❤

We are lucky our abalone only take 7-8 years to grow
Ohh iove the accents!
Loved this👍🏽
Interesting one.
Bonza living the dream😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! You're heading to Auckland ❤! I loved the food there, so I can't wait to see your food trip there. The lobster looked amazing & holy cow the abalone was gigantic! The tour and food was pricey but ya only live once. 😊
I'm glad to see another video I love your videos
Yumm🎉
Who's counting every time he says "sweet"? 😂😂😂😂😂
If you come through nelson in the south island of New zealand stop by the smoking barrel for awsome BBQ and donuts they have cheese burger donut it's a absolute must visit place
16:48... I usually skip that part
What does the top of the scallop pie say?
10 minutes ago??? Ive never been this early!
Come to New Zealand next and try some of the food here! I'd love to hear your take on Hangi cooked food.
I should have watched to the end 😅
What is happening at 1:30 with all those nice cars?
I kinda miss the plane n hotel reviews
The cheese is nutty?! 😂
Those spiny lobsters were all that big. They grow quick.
Always loving the videos Mike, makes me always hungry lol
the seafood tour costs 700 dollars though, wow
I looooove watch Mike Chen ❤❤❤ he has a wonderful personality 😊
Creo que cuesta bien poco pasarlo en español
Welcome to Tasmania. Don’t forget us here in the North west. More to Tasmania than Hobart and Launceston. Don’t forget the Cape Grim Beef. Much tastier than seafood.
