  • Kimi Werner recounts a recent dive of losing her catch of an uku to a frenzy of sharks. She returns to the ocean to try again and succeeds with a beautiful uku (also known as jobfish or grey snapper)!
    She shows us how to make the Hawai’i version of lox and bagels by curing and cold smoking this beautiful fish.
    She then meets up with her friends of Banzai Bagels ( banzaibagels.co ) and receives the most beautiful spread of fresh handmade bagels and all the fixings. Kimi, Buddy and Justin enjoy the most delicious breakfast feast by the sea! Lots of Buddy cuteness!

    Kimi, I'm currently pregnant my first child and watching your videos absolutely make my day. The beautiful relationship you and Justin have with Buddy boy brings tears to my eyes... Freakin preggo hormones!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing everyone so much joy. P.S. My mama is also hapa and is from Hilo!

    your kid is going to have such a fulfilling childhood, like we had growing up (i'm 36). sadly, i feel a lot of kids nowadays will be missing out on bike rides, playing in the dirt, and growing up at the beach... you guys seem like awesome parents.

      I'm 37 and my mom let me be a kid too. She trusted me to cook or be home alone and go out into the world when a lot of other kids parents wouldn't do that. I'm better for it. Thanks mom.

      You are correct, I'm 30 years old and even so called "Adults" my age don't know anything about the outdoors or have the common sense we picked up playing in the woods and being independent. Today's youth attends the University of "TikTok" to get their information.

Your kai looks amazing, I love how you catch what you eat, if only the rest of the world lived the same way where we caught only what we needed to eat, we would be healthier as a people but also the world we rely on for life & sustainability would also be healthier not just for us but for generations to come, at the moment with how things are going, it's not looking that way so your vids give me hope! Sending much aroha from me & mines here in Aotearoa to you & yours! Virtual kisses & cuddles for Buddy especially! 🥰😍😘

    Your stories and videos keep bringing me back to the islands I loved so much. The drive from wahiawa to the north shore was always so freeing. The stress just melted off and as I came to Haleiwa, I felt like a new person. Driving out to Kaena point transformed me into the hunter mode and as I hit the water the sea worked it’s magic and that feeling that only the water could bring washed over me.
    I’ll never forget my years in Hawaii, the people, the ocean, the melting pot of cultures instilled in me a deep appreciation of life and how everyone on the planet is interconnected in millions of little ways. Kimi, your stories truly inspire an appreciation of everything Hawaii and beyond. A love of the ocean and sustainable harvests and wasting nothing that we are given. From the bottom of our hearts Mahalo.

I can taste it with my eyes... Im sure it was beyond epic. Great job on the whole process! The catch and cook on your channel is top level.

    Love your channel. It has the entire family involved. Assuming the fish can be eaten raw, (not all fish can no matter how fresh it is); there is a better way to cold smoke using a “smoke tube”. When I use my pellet smoker like you did, there is residual heat that is still cooking the fish. Love my smoke tube for cold smoking everything... steaks before I sous vide them (even vacuum seal and freezing keeps the smoke flavor). That little extra time and touch is worth it :)
