Good stuff, Kev! Where do I sign up for the Channel Island trip? Totally down for that!
Thanks man! I will send out an announcement on my email list soon!
Excellent and informative content.
Best line on RUclips:
"Because Mayo is disgusting" 😂
You should do the urchin video, the more exposure of people gathering and culling the purple urchins, the better
We don’t need to take all the urchins out because they’re actually healthy for the ecosystem. However it would help to cull their populations a little!
I hope the sea star waste disease can go away during this flipped El Niño season
@@christophercarrillo4726 Agreed. In SoCal I do see some urchin barrens which definitely warrant close monitoring and encouraged harvest but I have not seen anything down south like the full-scale barrens of the North Coast! Likely in part because sheephead and lobster also help pray on purple urchins, and the kelp down there is perennial and not annual. It is important for us to remember that even the purples are native but they just need to be closely watched to maintain the balance.
Yup that's why I said cull, not exterminate. You can probably form a good business harvesting purple urchin and make fertilizer from their bodies. Maybe put them in tanks and feed to get a better uni yield. I think sushi bars should have a uni tank, like how fancy restaurants have live lobster tanks
Agreed. I’m always wondering if they are in season or not of if they even have a season.
@@92bagderthat sounds awesome
Awesome video ! Love your diving videos and how you explain and teach us about the different fish and other species of life in the ocean. Really enjoy your catch n cook. Thanks for taking us along. 🥰🌟✌👍
Dr. K might want to tag this video when people ask what fish can they harvest easily. He does indeed make great videos!
Definitely want to see the uni video !
I’m in southern Australia (Victoria) and I’d spend way too much time under water looking for the man in the grey suit to catch anything. Still love your videos thanks. And dive belts yeah we use them on fishing rods, their called sinkers lol. Normally we don’t attach them to people. lol. I’ve seen hooks as thick as your thumb straightened completely out. Der der der det. Der der der det. I surf but not down this far south. My brother worked offshore on the gas rigs and the amount of great whites here anyway has exploded over the years. Thanks again for your videos. Much appreciated.
Love how you include those tidbits of historical info on the indigenousness people from the area! Great reminder that there is so much more to this land than the shopping malls and amusement parks most people come here for. The keyhole limpets and snails taste great sautéd in a Greek marinade! (I used one meant for calamari). Never would have thought to try them without your encouragement. Preciate all you do and share!👊🏼
And yes, another video on urchin please! Would be helpful to include any info you can on prepping them after the dive and storing the uni. The advice you gave on cleaning them right away and storing the uni on a paper towel in the fridge until eating was invaluable!
@@ZachDove Thanks for the feedback Zach! Much appreciated!
Awesome video ! I bought the D570 2 in 1 green laser light on Amazon before, it can help me communicate with other diver friends underwater, so I take it with me every dive.
Man, these sessions make me wish I lived in SoCal. I'm relatively land locked here in the ATL. So diving is more a luxury, usually 4hrs away (Savannah, Hilton Head). The fact that free food is down the street basically, in the ocean, fresh and tasty is half the reason I'd love living in these areas. Aaahh well, guess I just have to 'settle' for my fresh lake fishing (fine with that btw) and look to the day I return to SoCal and join Kevin.
Dreaming of the day when I can make that 3HR trip a 15m drive too
Great content Dr. K. Love this dive series
Thank you!
Very cool video!!! Love your content. Always learning something new or reinforcing what I’ve already learned from you. Keep the old ways alive!! 🤙🏽
Great video!Love your diving experience!And want to try this pretty cool light~I will take it to dive too!
awesome vid thank you.
Turban sails make GREAT Manhattan style chowder if you chop them into 1/4 inch chunks. Also make great white chowder.
Good tip! Thanks!
Keep it coming man, love the series and content, would love to see more socal spearfishing and learn about the fish species to target
Thank you so much for these awesome videos! I really appreciate them. My favorite spearo on RUclips with no doubt. God bless you.
Much appreciated!
Beautiful!
Great job brother
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your videos, very go information
Awesome vid as usual
Another video on urchins pls
Thank you for this video, great job sir 👏
Much appreciated!
Aww, you called a Black Perch a Barred Surfperch 😁 Other than that, incredible video man! I’ve passed those keyhole limpets so many times, I’ll know to try a few next time!
AWWWW! You got me! I went back an forth on it for a while but you are totally right! That bluish bar on the anal fin is the nail in the coffin! Thanks for correcting me and for watching!
14:14 exactly
Keep on the video great learning
I would love the purple urchin video. I’ve been very curious about legal take and how to consume them. Thank you.
Hey man! My wife and I ran into you at Van Dam For Bragg. We found your RUclips channel this is awesome. We are subscribing now and would love to dive someday with you!!!
Right on! Glad you are enjoying the vids and sorry the visibility was not better for you that day! Hope we get a chance to dive together soon!
Love your videos. Wavy turban shells are plentiful near me and I've only been picking up empty shells for garden deco. Gonna go on a limb and give this a try. Fingers crossed. lol.
Right on!
Awesome! i'm allergic, but..... i like to cook for others' enjoyment!
That is very kind!
Definitely want to see a so cal sea urchin video and how to cook and eat them please. I've signed up for the Channel Island 4 day trip as well.
Glad to hear it! I hope you can join us on a SoCal shore dive before the trip!
I never dive, and dont live in california. Still love the videos, keep em up.
💛...love bubbie's products but i haven't seen their horseradish yet...i usually get tule lake...hopefully, sriracha will be coming back... with the w, that's my seefood sauce...
Usually, I dig everything you say in these videos but in this case...mayo is NOT disgusting!
Lol, you will see the light one day. But I don't hold it against you that you are wrong about it for now ;)
Love to learn diving with you! But I am a total laryngectomist, so I can't drive! Still enjoying your videos!
Sorry to hear that! Maybe hook and line or terrestrial foraging then at some point!
Don't tell me you are a Miracle Whip fan LOL! Dukes Mayo is the way to go for sandwiches as it has a bit of a vinegar bite to it. Great video Kevin.
Lol nope! In no way shape or form ;)
I’m so down to go on the Channel Islands trip!
Maybe next year. Infortunately the trip did not get enough folks signed up so we didn't go. That being said, I guided freedive-spearfishing from SoCal-NorCal all season long last year with incredible success. I had clients from L.A. to Mendocino catching fish, sea urchin, octopus, keyhole limpets, turban snails, crab, and scallops! Hope you can join us this season!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 I’m in SoCal and just signed up to your email list.
I can’t wait to join one of your guided adventures.
I’m planning on going back to lost winds dive shop for a thicker suit for the cold, weight belt and a 3-prong pole.
I’m ready to try again.
Hoping to find a few legal bugs and maybe some perch or rockfish!
Love all the latin binomials and education. I also appreciate the cooking experimentation. As well as the indigenous history facts! I'll take all I can get on that education! Do you recommend any books on that subject?
I'm also gravitating toward chopsticks for pretty much everything. Forks feel like I'm just shoveling food. lol I had spaghetti the other day with chopsticks and my partner looked at me like I was crazy. So much more control, though.
Looking forward to the ideas you have for the future like urchin and lobsters. I'd also love some seaweed foraging. I think an intertidal themed hot pot would be super cool, too!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback! I will have to think about some book suggestions. I was thinking that a seaweed vid is definitely in order now. I would love to do a hot pot! We did steamer clam shabu shabu a long time ago on the channel and it was delicious!
how long can you hold you breath in the water?
Would love a dive video on the urchin!
Would you consider culling purples and feeding them to nearby fish?
There is some research on this in northern CA where urchin barrens have been much more problematic than in SoCal. To my knowledge it is still inconclusive as to whether smashing urchins releases more sperm and eggs into the water and exacerbates the problem. For now, it is only legal to harvest them (not smash them) unless you are part of an official and licensed urchin culling survey. You might be able to use urchin for chum to bring in fish, but again that might spread the sperm and eggs.
That cocktail sauce looks bomb. I'm in Fort Bragg soon if you have any catch and cook recommendations, lol
Definitely try some black turban snails and sea urchin! I did turban snail fritters the other day (not on video) and they were amazing! Might have to work them into a video soon!
Sea urchin video please! How do we find the big ones? Are they bad to eat from dirty water like clams?
Sounds good! In general it is good to avoid major river mouths near major cities. I do not usually see them occupy poluted areas though.
Caught a big zebra perch the other day, but it kinda tasted how it smelled!
Lol, I have not tried one yet. Guess I have to as part of a video soon.
i did zebra ceviche it was good
Great video! Where we can sign up for the diving hunting with you?
If you would like to book something you can email me at catchncookca@gmail or you can visit my website www.catchncookcalifornia.com/
Which video shows how you made your dive board?
My "Freedive for Dungeness Crab" Video has the dive board build.
I’m with you on the chopsticks. My wife’s Korean and I’ve learned to use them for everything.
Have you ever had Razor Clams? If so, how do they compare to the Limpets?
Lol there is likely a reason that millions of people use them every day right? It has been years since the last time I had razor clams but if I remember correctly the flavor was similar but a bit more subtle. Limpet has a more robust flavor a little more roasted or nutty notes than the more mild clams in my opinion.
Kevin: Have you ever attempted cooking the gumbo0t chiton (Cryptochiton stelleri)? Native Americans and early Russian settlers in southeastern Alaska did so. The writers of Between Pacific Tides (one of my favorite old texts) detailed their culinary assessment of the gumboot: "After one experiment the writers decided to reserve the animals for times of famine; one tough, paper-thin steak was all that could be obtained from a large cryptochiton, and it radiated such a penetrating fishy odor that it was discarded before it reached the frying pan." I do know there are some current recipes for it. Any thoughts?
Great question! I agree that it has been a Native American food for thousands of years. However, I do not believe it is listed as a species that is allowed in CA. I will have to look into it more though.
Kevin: I do not believe the gumboot chiton is threatened or endangered…but I, too, will look into it.
Where in Southern California do you recommend for a beginner diver?
Any cove on a 1-2ft swell day that is not in a Marine Protected Area (MPA). But I do not recommend that divers try it without being accompanied by a much more experienced diver. There is a lot that can go wrong out there that an experienced diver can help you avoid to stay safe.
I thought you were holding a blue corn tortilla chip.
Hello from Bangladesh Kevin🇧🇩... Very nice video... Do you know what happened to Matt from "fisherman's life"? He hasn't posted for 2 months and it's kinda worrying me😢
Thanks for watching! He got a piece of land in the mountains so he is moving and getting situated up there. I am sure he will be posting all kinds of new and exciting content soon though!
Looks like a good time Kevin. But I gotta confess....I'm the weirdo that likes mayo, on almost everything.
Lol, we can agree to disagree about it.
Are snails toxic?
Good question. Some could be, especially if they are predatory and praying on filter-feeders during toxic plankton blooms. The wavy turban snail in Southern CA is a generalist herbivore (eats seaweed and coralline algae) however, so it is doubtful that this species would be toxic.
