Almost Lost My Toes!!! Spanish Mackerel Ceviche!

[@DayZPleb]

First cuss word I've heard is "$hit" and he even apologized. What a nice spirit

[@kyle3969]

Just when i think i have watched every single video of yours... i find one that I haven't seen yet and it is almost like finding gold! Love the catch and cook episodes! Every video watched is time well spent in my opinion, keep up the good work Rod. You're an inspiration! So glad that i came across your channel a few years back! KZbin wouldn't be the same if I wasn't waiting for your next upload...

[@sambryett1929]

Honestly best fishing channel, keep up with the good work

[@sing759]

oh my goodness that looks delicious.... I have found your channel last night while i was looking for "living on the island" or island life or camping next to the beach... I immediately just watch everything from your channel now.. what a wonderful video and nice quality I might add :) thanks for sharing your wonderful experience about catch and cook, fishing, diving and camping on the remote island

[@matt300]

I discovered your channel last week. Must have watched about 10 hours of your videos so far. Great stuff! Any chance on a How To vid on what you look for in regards to location? Perhaps some help on how to use the sounder? My son's love your shark hook ups. Keep up the awesome high quality vids.

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks for tuning in mate, Ill try and do a sounder vid soon. Snapper season is coming so it might be a good one for then.

[@nestorprrg]

Ppp

[@adsyak]

Nice vid Rod. The easy days help balance out the tough days! Nice feed and nice simple recipe, looks bloody good!

[@Butterskayak]

Being from Peru myself, I must say that was good Ceviche, impressed that you left the seeds of the peppers, must be super hot lol.... well done Rok IMO the best way to enjoy a fresh King Mack.

[@patrickpeterson11]

The tail view going through the waves is awesome

[@Jondakilla54]

Just discovered your channel and I love the content! Keep going!!! Also I see you have a Wrx hatch! Even better!

[@Jake-PF525]

Now you got me craving ceviche and the weather here is been mental for more than a month - maybe soon! Cheers man, hope all is awesome

[@alexandermartin2713]

RoKKiT! Love you man! It’s great that you can just be you and be supported.

[@drewrosa5403]

When u tail grabbed her i was like holy moly thats a risky move

[@Dantt82]

love that editing style of you chopping the veges, really cool

[@jqc5]

I'm totally impressed how you go through those waves on launch and not til over!

[@rokkitkit]

Haha, I still fall in sometimes :)

[@Fornwith]

"Easy launch, I won't even get my hair wet." Proceeds to get flooded. Haha.

[@bittydan]

Awesome catch and cook Rod ! Ceviche is so fresh and light, brings the full taste of the fish ! Tip on those banana bunches , break the bell off the bunch after all the hands have come through, it'll maximize the bunches growth and help deter pest or disease that might affect the bananas. Happy fishing mate !

[@rokkitkit]

Yea I was wondering if I should cut it off or leave it... I cut the fist few bunches we got but left them this time. Will cut them now!

[@freddy4130]

Sick as always, rod. Quick tip from someone who always never has a gaff. If you tail grab them the opposite way from how you did it, your grip is muuuuch stronger. So have him swim towards you. Grab his tail like you’re shaking a hand. Head back, tail forward.

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks Fred, makes sense, will have to try it that way.

[@ayl18]

Great video, Rod!! Love the catch and cooks you do too... your recipes are always great and highlight the quality of the fish! Have you ever thought about doing more 'how to' style videos? I noticed that many your videos that are of that kind are some of your most watched, and I think that your audience (and those that aren't yet subscribed) really love that kind of content. Your mackerel rig video, for example, was awesome and the viewing figures are good. You could do stuff like: how to read a sounder, how to set up your kayak for fishing, how to fish with live bait etc.. it's just a thought. Either way, I love the videos and the quality content. Keep it up! Hope you get the Fishflicks gig too!

[@rokkitkit]

Cheers mate, yea I should look at a few more "how to vids" will keep adding them when I can for sure. If the Fishflicks thing come through Ill hopefully have the time to smash out lots of them!

[@joshuamacalinao746]

This guy is a great fisher and cooker

[@harrisonmayne4761]

Love the Chanel watched so much found it when looking for fishing comps and I found your Noosa comp videos. keep up the great work👍👍👍

[@deangiddings4856]

Used the recipe on a Bonito and served it up at a Scout camp, tasted great and everyone enjoyed it. Cheers Rod

[@rokkitkit]

Perfect Dean, sounds great! 👍

[@thomasbennett3342]

Ha ha! I have said that many times when launching. “It’s a lake out there...” Then gets drenched 😂

[@rokkitkit]

Haha yep confidence is key... or not :)

[@YakinwithJack]

ceviche is delicious with all kinds of fish great video buddy

[@rudysaldivar4228]

Try salting the chopped fish first for at least 30 minutes. Proceed to do all that you did with the exception of the sugar. Instead add fresh squeezed orange juice. It takes the edge off of the lime and gives the dish another layer of citrus.

[@blankets1453]

Hard work pays off. That fish and the dish looked amazing!

[@mikeycityify]

Ahahaha! You defo let one rip eh! No "shhh-suga" this time. Good reason too. Awesome stuff!

[@carolinakayakadventures270]

Great video as always!!! You make getting in and out of that surf look easy!! Beautiful Spanish!!! Turned into a great family day!!

[@rokkitkit]

Ha, cheers mate, I still go for a swim here and there.

[@sirzekialroane6750]

Addicted to your content mate, keen as to get the boat out and drop some liveys. Be well.

[@youtubemarty]

Definitely more cooks please.

[@PenguinOutdoors]

Peek that pestle at 13:01, I NEED that thing in my life.

[@lowweeyang]

Great video Rod ! Thanks.

[@fishing-frenzy8476]

You're the man Rod. Nice!!! video mate

[@R1p3rGaming]

Damnn that made me jump off my seat mate. Glad you're ok. Those tooth are razer sharp. Heard some guys lost their thumb, fingers to these pelagic. Stay safe always buddy and don't forget your gaff on your next trip. Love the catch and cook part and simple beach picnic with the family is the best ending of a video. Cheers buddy.

[@rokkitkit]

Haha, yep was not the best feed into the hatch thats for sure! I have seen a few sites from mackerel teeth and its never pretty.

[@WildhunterJigman]

Love this, definitely i will try ceviche here in Dubai while still season for king mackerels.We have the same version for Filipinos and we call it kinilaw-raw fish in a vinegar,onion and ginger. Thanks Rod for sharing. Keep going and inspiring people❤

[@hecticj93]

[@rubenrecalde944]

Nice video man!!! make me hungry ... all the best for you .

[@collieyak971]

[@Here4ucantbe]

[@mikeg6606]

Looking forward to the Jervis Bay video. Was down there fore Easter, but I can't manage kayaking atm. Just a swim and camping. Magic spots down there.

[@rokkitkit]

Yea it a great spot, fishing was pretty tough for me again... might be heavy on the b-roll footage this vid :)

[@lalomtz787]

[@broady_b.23]

Great vid mate, was looking for something nice to do with Spanish fillets, will give this a try - look super tasty!

[@jonnywaselectric]

Good stuff mate, I might do some flathead ceviche for tea, got some spring onions lemon juice and chillis, I'll add a bit of sugar and heaps of cracked pepper. Looks like you need a check list on the wall in the garage, gaff is a must have

[@rokkitkit]

Sounds like a good dinner mate, yea having the skiff has me swiping gear back and forward, have to get my system in order again when packing gear :)

[@JOLLYROGER41590]

Awesome fish.. I enjoy watching you.. in Florida we call them king mackerel .,. Spanish have yellow dots.

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks mate, yea your What you guys call Spanish over there look closer to our spotted mackerel.

[@Angry_76Adventures]

love the catch and cooks do more!!

[@chefjaredmiller]

Love the video. Love Ceviche! Less is always more. Love adding coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves to a sauce with some chili. Fire and ice ya know

[@chefjaredmiller]

[@100catfishing7]

Enjoyed it Rod! Watch those toes mate. Good luck on ya!

[@alvindeo9377]

[@rokkitkit]

[@extortionist4123]

Great videos Rokkit! Your subscriber base will flourish in near future just by being yourself, like you are! Love the videos you got my like and subscribe much love from the USA!

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks mate! nice of you to say.

[@klingerdesousa]

Hey Rokkit, for a moment (time 7:22) I thought the fish wanted a lure from your finger..hahaha. Great catch, bro..

[@juliandean8787]

I'm not what you call a talented cook I don't know many recipes but I'm a mad keen fisherman like yourself and after watching these catch 'n' cooks I reckon you've inspired me to be able to surprise the misso with something apart from steak chips n eggs 👌. Love your vids mate ill be getting a stealth Yak soon to see what port Phillip bay can supply

[@rokkitkit]

Good luck mate, hope you impress the misses!

[@nedmcnaughton]

Great fish! That looks delicious 😋

[@hazza196]

Great video Rod! When I saw the Waterwolf underwater shot I was expecting a strike but it didn't happen haha. Hope you win the Fishflicks comp man!

[@rokkitkit]

Ha, yea he hit the side with out the troll cam so no epic footage unfortunately.

[@TheRealMrCods]

Nice work Rod,

[@sly9263]

[@Jim-us4un]

Awesome video mate love ur channel keep it coming

[@harrisonf3303]

love you and your videos!

[@rjpac]

I hope its good with walleye cuz that's the best fish we have here at Lake Erie. I'll have to make it. Great video.

[@HalaRealMadrid07]

Was it just me who thought he was censoring something when a water drop was on the lens? I was like "why are you censoring a fish"? 😂

[@CptGingerbeardKayakFishing]

Duuuude great video! I'm in Cape Town, yeah water restrictions/drought is shit but you know what the worst part is mate??? It seems the fish are on drought too!! Buggers are gone! Usually this time we full up of yellowtail kingies, big bonnies and snoek (type of mackerel with nasty teeth). Thanks for the awesome video Rod!!

[@rokkitkit]

Hope the fishing improves mate!

[@CptGingerbeardKayakFishing]

RoKKiT KiT Mate you wont believe it. We been getting loads of yellowtail kingies! They're back! Thanks Rod!

[@fedlopez01]

Great video mate! 👍

[@lalo2641]

I used to think mackerel was a fish only for bait did some more research and a doctor said that mackerel is healthy

[@MrAHMEDBAKIR]

I love all your video man I wish to make it like you

[@barnold2085]

Cool video again mate the food part made the mrs drool 😂 loves limes and lemons 🍋 I’ve now got to make it for her

[@rokkitkit]

Haha, get cooking mate :)

[@shauncummings2361]

Been catching a few John Dory recently..been pan frying the fillets. Do you have a better idea for this fish? Cheers, love your omen sense approach to everything

[@rumistorey9987]

More catch and cook please

[@dustyschofield3684]

awesome fish Rod watch them toes haha!

[@bradhibbitts8188]

Nice, glad you have your toe

[@pamela8570]

Awesome fishing

[@sometimesicatchfish]

Hey Rod, is there any chance you could go over the basics of storing fish like in the fridge and freezer to minimise smell and how long you store your fish for when you can't eat it all in one meal? Would love to hear your personal opinion on this, cheers.

[@rokkitkit]

Sure, Ill see if I can work one in mate.

[@mlugin8050]

What a great channel!

[@chevive7]

Ceviche is from Peru, freaking awesome video

[@MTTavi01]

Just started watching nice catch

[@drewrosa5403]

Great vid m8 toe was lucky lol Cant wait 4 the next vid

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks Drew! Yep still got the toes, which is a good thing :)

[@nunomascarenhasribeiro]

Perfect

[@Jake-ky9ed]

Middle of Hurricane florence here and dreaming of getting out for fresh fish! ceviche or sashimi be nice bout now! love the vids man good deal.

[@thaifoodlover5296]

Love Ceviche! IMO, there is no way to make ceviche wrong. Make it to your taste.

[@CanadianSledDog]

Epic.

[@manuelalexanderhernandesso8819]

You are the best man

[@wilsontakagi8950]

the best fish! Ok!

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Nice fish Rod. Wish the King macks where I live were that tasty.

[@rokkitkit]

Are they not as tasty? I would have thought they would be similar.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

No, unfortunately they are extremely oily and fishy tasting, at least in my opinion and lots of others. Small ones are ok but the larger ones are usually only eaten smoked. The meat is very gray and nothing at all like wahoo or your spanish from the looks of it. We have a spanish mackerel as well but it is small and looks alot like your spotties. It is pretty good eating, along with Cero mackerel which are by far the best eating and also small in size.

[@Josh-e2l]

Great fish, what do you look for weather wise for good fishing? High tide? Barometric? Or just a day off and take your chances

[@rokkitkit]

Peek of either end of the tide is always good. First light and fading light. But hey sometimes you just have to give it a crack when you can... I'v caught fish in the middle of the day when you would have thought there was zero chance.

[@willmacaluso5293]

Very Cool! I always like your catch and cooks! Looks AMAZING! Keep up the good work, c u next vid.

[@dariatedling3126]

really enjoy your youtube videos been binge watching them.I live in south west australia and don't get much of a chance on pelagics...only snapper and dhufish-(not the silver ghost one). fish looked delicious

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks for watching the vids mate, Snapper and Dhufish sound alright to me👍

[@SchusterFishes]

Looks amazing bro 👍🏻

[@kjwineera]

Cool vid,Rod.Have you had any problems with your lowrance ti.Thinking of getting one and noticed yours must get a hiding in the surf.looking foward to jervis bay vid.peace.

[@rokkitkit]

My 5ti is a great sounder but I would not recommend a touch screen for the kayak. It just gets so wet all the time and make it hard to use without wiping down all the time. on a boat they are awesome sounders. Apart from the touch screen issue the sounder is still coping all the saltwater and has not missed a beat.

[@benben77777]

What do u use for catching the life bait? Squid or what?

[@pejjam2255]

One of your best :)

[@stp6641]

Love your vids bro!!

[@jacksonyang2044]

👍 awesome video, and love the way how you edit and music implant, I have to watch one of your episode daily ever since I subscribed lol hopefully one day I will land a Mac like yours

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@KerryFlowers]

Damm that ceviche looks amazing!!!!

[@rokkitkit]

Yep the kahawai would go perfect in it too!

[@KerryFlowers]

I was thing about yellow tail kingfish!

[@lhgan1]

you like to live dangerously my fren.

[@build.drive.fish.]

Awesome ..Glad to see you back on the Yak....hey whats the yellow bag you always use for the livies...Where can u find it and the brand.

[@rokkitkit]

Its a collapsable bucket that has a mesh zip up top. I got it at BCF was around the $30

[@williambell7335]

Awesome vid.

[@Henry-fi9wp]

NICE

[@Henry-fi9wp]

Your videos are getting me through COVID19 lockdown in Spain.I just have to convince my wife to let me buy a Sea fishing kayak when we get out of lockdown!! Hope you and Fam are well, I can´t wait for the next: island camping/cooking/nothing but limes in my esky .... video! In the meantime, i`ll watch the old ones! NICE! (You should say it more in your videos ---- as if it were your slogan)

[@PigInTheGaff]

The phrase "hopefully its not a shark" still shocks me
