Gosh your videos are like warm hugs... Your comfortable demeanor and voice, the high quality footage, the natural scenery, your wife and friends and the lovely conversation... And ofcourse the hands on look at the fish and the resulting dish. I gravitate to you videos anytime I am feel stressed or anxious. Thankyou so much, I have no doubt there is A LOT of effort that goes into all this behind the scenes in terms of equipment and setting up cameras and flying to locations etc. The results are fantastic!

You are by far one of the best chefs I've seen on KZbin hands down love outdoor chef life been watching and been a fan and a member before you had 10,000 subscribers by far the best KZbin chef I work in a restaurant and I'm a chef myself and I bow down to you and gives you five stars this looks like an excellent meal

[@JawnSummit]

I’m surprised he’s not yet at 1m. He definitely deserves it right? I’m right along with you man

[@thelinecook]

So true. Best catch and cooks on KZbin hands down.

[@tig3rBite]

Yup, a fan since his work days at sushi place. Retired, live and make videos like these are a dream.

[@jmitch1980]

Trust me: he’s an awesome guy in person too. Super generous with time, energy and tips.

[@fogman0007]

I agree...he is unreal

This man is not just a chef, he is an artist, an artisan.

[@nomadhomad3685]

Man you’re making me want to take a road trip and catch some of that copious, glistening, savory herring bukkake. Glad you’re both living the fullest lives! Stay safe out there

You are not wrong… I mean you need help, but you are not wrong 😂

[@PatrickC63]

I thank them for inviting you two up to Alaska! Great couple who really care about the fish and wildlife! I could taste how delicious the food was through my phone 😂

[@harrylor1]

I love your videos, compared to others that do catch and cook too. Anyone can do a catch and cook video; however, the way you explain how you catch, your methods of how to fish, your knowledge of foraging, and the way you cook is so intriguing and enticing. I'm learning from your videos, that's what makes me so interested. I'm learning how to cook through watching your videos! Keep it up, I want to learn more from you.

[@hoosky1143]

Proof of what a pro chef can do with a $5 knife. Taku's knife skills are next level!

[@hughten]

Taku can make shoe leather look appetizing and tastes great. This man is a wizard chef. We are lucky to have him.

[@suezqcamacho]

OMG Taku uve done it again. I swear I can smell and tas this wonderful dish. Ty great video

[@broomstickcowgirl]

I've been to many different places but Alaska will ALWAYS be my favorite. There's just something about the land, it's breathtaking and so peaceful and serene. Thank you for taking us along with you and I can't wait to see what your Alaskan summer trip brings!

[@PRLOutdoors]

Agreed, it's hard to even explain how breathtaking Alaska is.

[@liesfaker1627]

i love seeing those 2 from Alaska. they seem like such cool people to be around.

[@zmusp]

You always slam your beer on first sip. I love it

[@chadbarkway3073]

This was one of the most interesting dishes of all time. I really enjoyed this episode.

[@NPIslander]

Glad you enjoyed your visit to Alaska. I am from the Aleutian Chain and have cousins in Sitka

[@thapalemexican]

Jocelyn’s long sleeve in the intro is so dope!!!!!

[@willthedingo]

HERRING oyakodon! This is one of those dishes that really got me to bite the bullet and buy a REAL rice cooker. I could eat oyakodon breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I LOVE the method of dropping the panko fried protein (chicken in most cases of course!) on top of the first layer of egg, so you can bind everything together for ease of transferring to a bowl when you drizzle in the top layer of egg. This is a very, very interesting take on it, and I'll have to contemplate adding this to my list of potential experiments in cooking. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@groundrootsoutdoors627]

Just started watching your channel within the last month. I like your content. The fact that your a chef is awesome. I do the cooking at home and enjoying it. Thank you for the recipes and ideas for fish and wild game

[@pallasxo8222]

How Lovely that you are in Alaska. Fresh Herring & Herring Eggs. What a treat. Your friends Brooks and Cameo are delightful.

[@desertfairychickres4021]

Sitka is stunning!

[@phillipmorgan2803]

[@geeveera4750]

Taku can you do a northern pike catch and cook one day?I'd like to see how you would fillet that fish and what delicious meal you can create

[@darrenquirk2269]

The oyakadon looks amazing. Herring is a hugely underrated fish. It is one of my favourite fish. In Britain, traditionally, the fillets were rolled in pin head oatmeal and fried with bacon. Delicious!

[@allanwright5343]

Katsu donburi is my favorite dish! I will order it at a restaurant, but it's a lot of work to make! Just like your dish, Taku! Looked delish, nice job!

[@whosagreekgod4135]

Neat! I'm headed to Alaska too on the 5th. Can't wait to see the videos. You enjoy yourselves.

[@gailsiangco5599]

Yummy Goodness Taku !!! Mahalo for Sharing !!!

[@bruce_tee]

That looks amazing

[@dwaynewladyka577]

It would be awesome if you did more episodes in Alaska and British Columbia. These are great. It's fascinating to learn about herring spawn, and how different marine life is harvested. It's good to support sustainable seafood. Also, if it is possible, you should go to the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where they have so many lakes, to try fishing there, and forage for wild edibles. Thanks so much for the excellent content. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn! #TakuTuesday ✌️🎣

[@thelinecook]

The drone shots mixed with all your cinematography was absolutely beautiful. You really did an amazing job filming out there. The Alaska vids are awesome. I’m exited to see how your summer trip goes as well!. As always your catch and cook looked delicious! So unique! I’m always learning new things from your vids. Amazing stuff Taku.

[@abelardoreyes5957]

I don’t even like seafood but I still love watching your videos.
