Hey, love the videos man. I don't see how some people can ask for more when you already give so much. Really appreciate all of the knowledge you drop on us.
50 hr weeks and an ever growing popular youtube channel with all the editing that entails? You're doing more than most dude. Thanks for sharing and I love the music and tidbit info about sushi (like parasite checks and fresh water fish disease risks)
Love the videos and much respect. I'm sure after working so many 12 hr days, still having the time and energy to put up such great content must be hard. Keep up the great work!
Man this guy really loves cooking! Honestly he is the ultimate guy to look up to! Able to work so much at something he loves but still love it so much he can make it in his free time! Ty for the lovely vids! And take care of yourself mate!
Yay....TAKU BELL time on Taku Tuesday....but he made sushi & sashimi, wonderful video, you're so masterful in cutting that fish, I can barley open a can of tuna (with a pop lid) *giggle*
I love the family feel of this video.. the end with the room full of people and the amazing food. As much as i love the fishing, foraging and cooking it is the beautiful people that make the difference. ✌
Bro! you are the man. I liked the way you cut filleted that fish. Super sharp knife too. My mouth was watering as I watched you fillet that Butt. Great video and thanks for sharing.
He will never be the kamisama of cutting fish, that will always be Hari Kojima who I grew up watching on "Let's Go Fishing" on TV in Hawaii. www.amazon.com/Hari-Kojimas-local-style-favorites-Kojima/dp/B0006Y1IDS But I like this guy far, far more than than "diaries of a sushi chef" guy wtf I cut fish better than him with my $2.69 Chinese knife... This channel is head and shoulders over the other catch and cook vids.
taku: you should totally set up a PayPal link. I would totally donate a bit and I’m sure others would. You don’t seem like the person who would ask for money, but you are trying to get your RUclips career off the ground and you’ve done an incredible start. You are a really good, honest guy and extremely talented at what you do. Not to mention fun to watch.
Engawa is my favorite nigiri by far. It was escolar but after having hirame only, I became an engawa convert. Another very professional video Taku, I look forward to dining with you soon.
Love the consistent uploads, but also know, we understand if you need some YOU time, and don't burn yourself out. I really like you specifically, partly because you are an actual sushi chef, your food creations are beautiful, and fun to watch. You really do know your sheeit. ;) I hope the best for you man and would definitely love to see you as a full time youtuber. :) Much love.
I have very fresh frozen halibut in my freezer, thanks to my brother. I have lived my entire life in Alabama, and I have recently taken an interest in sushi/sashimi. Thank you for this video. I am an excellent cook, and sushi/sashimi is the next addition to my list of skills. Love from Alabama. War Eagle!!!!! Halibut is very, very easily overcooked, as is many fishes. As a youth, I never enjoyed fish, because my family always overcooked all fishes.
Is that gorgeous lady really chugging down a pint of beer? She is BOSS! Nice video btw. Lovely channel, you deserve way more subs and please, do keep your other job as a sushi chef! Thanks from NL.
Leave it whole (headed, scailed and gutted) cut it down the middle and partially fillet it from the middle to the fins leaving the skin by the fins attached then cut 2 inch wide ribbon sections from the middle to the fins and open it then put in butter cayenne pepper pumpin pie spice salt and what ever else you dig then close it and feel free to repeat on the outside then put parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs on top then put it on the bottom rack and broil it until it begins to smoke
As always inspirational brotha watching your channel has inspired me to pursue a culinary degree as always keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next video!
Love your video, my favorite one, the halibut fishing,the filleting of it, the generous way you give away all the tricks of the trade.....only two words......thank you.
Hey NoCal brother! I'm so glad I found your channel. Thanks for all your info that you give and how you feature your gifts as a sushi chef! Look forward to each of your videos.. SoCal out
chill, urban music, educational, cooking techniques, food, cutural. best youtube channel. if you get an editor, read comments, more collabs, a lil bit more info dump, overview shot and some graphics.... many more people will watch this.
Seeing you enjoy the process really makes the video. If life gets to be a bit much, take a break! We can wait if it means you stay healthy and happy doing what you do
Love your videos dude. Your descriptions and humble mood along with your expertise make them great to watch! I have made a couple of your recipes for my girlfriend. We plan to go to your restaurant in SF soon. Good job Brotha! Get some rest! But keep them coming!
I really appreciate the sushi videos, I'm stationed in Okinawa and I've been trying to learn how to fish here and I want to be able to make sushi out of what I catch. Keep up the good work!! I'll be trying watch em all, fish on!!
sick video 👊. I’m heading up to northern Vancouver Island this summer for lings and halibut. I still have 2 months to wait so in the meantime I’ll just watch your vids 😂
Making sushi 🍣 at home take some time, to make a video like that it’s a little bit harder. Specially when you go to caught up your own fish, then prep, shooting! Man, I’m so proud of this video. Big shout out my fella. I hope viewers could appreciate the efforts you put in it.
It’s a craft on how you’re doing this dish , so awesome! I went to culinary school but still working on my sushi skills , hoping my channel blows up like yours ! I still have slot to learn !!
love the channel man keep up the good work. as far as fishing goes I would hook the bait in the lips it looks like you hooked it more into the head which it wont be alive for very long. also try hooking the bait 3/4 of the way back in the top of the back it keeps them alive longer and you tend to get better hook ups like that. just a thought
Do what you can man, and don't stress over us! Your working your butt off and we appreciate it! If you need time for you, take it! And know that people will still be watching your bomb videos!
I just started watching your videos and it's great content! Love San Francisco, love sashimi/nigiri/sushi, and would love to try coastal foraging. You have an amazing life!
You already do so much it's hard to imagine anyone would ask for more. Your videos are filmed really well and you put out amazing content. With working a normal job putting out the content you do must be difficult but you still make amazing videos! You don't need to make more content, just keep being amazing!

Love the videos and much respect. I'm sure after working so many 12 hr days, still having the time and energy to put up such great content must be hard. Keep up the great work!

Man this guy really loves cooking! Honestly he is the ultimate guy to look up to! Able to work so much at something he loves but still love it so much he can make it in his free time! Ty for the lovely vids! And take care of yourself mate!
Mad respect.

This has become one of my favorite channels, I love the fishing and learning about how to turn that into sushi. Keep up the good work.
Try to film your job as a sushi chef if you can! Maybe a day in the life of a sushi chef that would blow up on RUclips 100%
Yessss I'd love to see this!

Wow! Such a captivating and inspiring video! The passion and even the music! I’m hungry now!!
I love to watch a Sushi Chef in action , reminds me Tsukiji market.
Awesome video, thank u! Great work, makes me so homesick for SF and the incredible sushi there!
I need a slow mow of that sushi forming hand movement. That was the smoothest technique I’ve ever seen
You’re such a unique catch and cook channel. I love the presentation for all your dishes - looks professional and absolutely delicious
I strongly agree
You know what's best .. we see you catch what you cook
You’re killing it! Keep them videos coming.
Nice Taku! The engawa is easily my favorite piece of the halibut. Gonna try to hit the surf for them tomorrow.
