Outdoor Chef Life hope I win! 🤞

[@Stickyfingers420]

Please don’t call sandabs mini halibut because people will mistake an actual baby halibut as a sandab and take it home which is illegal and hurts the halibut population 😨

[@MikeL-cg8zr]

Hopefully I win ,keep it up with you good work outdoor chef life!!

[@elkhunter76]

How about a contest on this channel for those of us who do not use instagram?

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

okay dokay! Thanks!

Laying here at 5:30 in the morning, haven't slept yet, now I'm hungry as HELL!!

BeowWulf omg I hate that profile so much!

[@bma8488]

Outdoor chef life is the bees knees bruh...gonna be getting a roll up knife kit here soon...keep up the good stuff...

[@cuffa40yt85]

I’m glad people you used that sauce. We used that’s sauce for a lot of our dishes. Garlic would make it even more better.

[@MonkeyDeRuffy777]

I can't get enough of your videos :D Not only you make me hungry, but love that type of videos. It's really inspiring what you can do with resources you gathered yourself! It's 10 times more interesting to see, how you get the ingridients yourself instead of buying them. It's the whole process I love.

[@SoundsImportant]

I can’t share this channel with enough people, it’s such good content 👍🏼

[@OutdoorChefLife]

🙏

[@SoundsImportant]

Outdoor Chef Life inspiring too, I’m moving out to the west coast next year and already am looking for tide pool foraging spots near where I’ll be living!

[@saltyspirateden]

my personal best lingcod, 24 pounds, I caught in a tidal pool about the size of a small car, back in 1988, I just jumped in, it was quite a wrestling match, in Westport, just north of Ft. Bragg, CA

[@IamBATMAN2024]

Real halibut are my favourite fish by a long shot 👌

[@jerrycurls88]

Get me every time... after i watch I'm starving for some fresh seafood.

[@robertthompson6571]

Your videos are becoming very famous(!!!). KZbin has added many commercials after your videos(!!!) I has become accustom to watching and enjoying video after video without commercials(!!!). That is the price of success(!!!) Congratulations(!!!) You will reach one million subscribers soon(!!!) R. Thompson Jacksonville, Florida March 6, 2020

[@alicazhimomi1515]

Who even has time to dislikes such a chill, calm and soothing video!!!! Its was the most relaxing video🙌🍻

[@bcgmktg]

Another stellar video! The crunch when you bit into the fish was awesome!

[@codyprater121]

joselin: was it fun catching them? taku: no

[@BayandBeyondFishing]

lol gotta go 2lb line on a dock demon

[@truthseeker1328]

Kind of like catching crappies. Great tasting fish but not much of a fighter.

[@lifeofeels8271]

What a coincidence! We're actually going on a crab and sanddab fishing trip this Saturday! Nice video, Taku👍

[@CodyLeon]

So awesome to see all the new stuff you're getting hooked up with! great content as always

[@cgyotoku]

"knife is life" Everything you cook always looks so tasty.

[@randzc4384]

Damn Taku!!! Makin me hungry 😋. Born n raised in hawaii. But now living in Vegas. I use to catch a lot of those but never knew it was good eating those mini halibut aka sand fish until I saw your video. But the wok looks nice I need one of those. Aloha

[@alexcarter8807]

I think they have them in Hawaii because I used to walk around where a river came out to the ocean in Punalu'u on the windward side of Oahu and it was pretty common (and funny!) to feel one of those slip out from under my foot.

[@rodaxel7165]

Right on time. Dinner time. Looks delicious as always.

[@twavis]

love the frequency of uploads love u taku!

[@arcade0s]

Hey, I loved this vid as the fish was basically consumed whole without any leftover, not even any fins, very sustainable. Keep it up Taku!

[@huckleberryoutdoors6]

Almost see through little guys! Food looked delicious! That Comb fish looked cool! Awesome video!

[@misterightnow]

The best catch and cook in the game right now

[@JessePatasomcit]

Ive been watching your videos to pass time and I throughly enjoy them! New subscriber

[@Fossil_Dyna]

The crunch is so satisfying 🔥

[@TheFunnydrew]

This sauce is exactly what my family uses at every meal - so tasty and umami!

[@stephenshort9311]

Bro now we're talking. Super awesome seeing you make somthing other then sushi. Thumbs up and looking forward to your next recipe. Taku is the man.

[@country2coastadventures]

This video was legit brother. We have been catching these little guys for a couple weeks now and had no idea most of the fish was edible. Thank you my friend for the catch and cook video. We'll see ya down the road!

[@tedbundy7649]

This man will will make anything look good!

[@otroflores91]

Easy and quick. Love it. Gonna make this one day but with red onions in the salsa. Most of the sand dab recipes I've seen are just butter poached.

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

Another great video chef! You’re “doin’ right!”🔥

[@reelfishing002]

Perfect as usual , love how you cook the fish , ironically targeting smaller fish , which my kids love to fish for (smaller fish) and that cilantro salsa/ pepper is spot on, I love that type too. Hopefully you get to use that rod on more traveling trips and that baitrunner reel

[@b.whisky9438]

A little tip fishing for dabs, when you get bit just keep it in the drift until they all load up. You'll be reeling up fully loaded with dabs.

[@pks41805]

I am in "binge watch heaven". Thank you for great videos.

[@zw5509]

Dabs, small but delish! We caught and cooked them the same way in Scotland. Just snipped off the fins and so easy to bone on your plate. So good with a squeeze of lemon. Enjoyed your video.

[@yolandabenford3539]

I love how you take care of Joselyn it’s beautiful excuse me if I misspelled her name!! You Two will definitely prosper!!

[@jagfishing836]

This guy makes me so hungry! I dont know why i watch these videos on an empty stomach 🤣🤣

[@michaelrodas-arista3566]

KNIFE IS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME WORK BRO

[@jerrykinnin7941]

They look like the size of a bluegill or perch. Looks delicious.

[@gus473]

Wonder if they could be fixed this way, after scraping off the scales....? 🤔

[@JosephPark]

Theyre kinda gross ngl

[@frederickateng3779]

They indeed FCKIN DELICIOUS its so fragrant (yes... fragrant, not fishy), marinated easily, and the meat... ohh its so soft n flaky Such a dreamy fish Unluckily, there is not many of them sold in my town (im from Indo btw)

[@alexcarter8807]

They are, they're really nice with butter and garlic/wine sauce.

[@alexcarter8807]

@@gus473 He said, the scales are so small they come off when he washes them.

Livin' the life, my man! 👍🏼🤙🏼

OUTSTANDING! excellent video. good cheffing!!! love the cilantro mix with the fish sauce on top!! honestly, made my mouth water...lol subscribed!!! thank you keep em coming!

Nice Catch , Clean and fry up of those Sand Dabs ! Looks delicious ! Thanks and Taku and Jocelyn too !

[@mybungholehurts]

Knife is life Been following you for a pretty long time now been hooked since I saw the first uni foraging video and since then ive been an aspiring sushi chef at home as a hobby to impress my family and friends with what's currently a hobby

[@e.t_fish8315]

Another amazing cook up! Cheers guys!🤙🍻

[@dennistani1986]

thanks Taku for another great video!!!

[@RV_Chef_Life]

I catch these all the time Surf Perch fishing. I will definitely have to try them now

[@priscillatudela5892]

Hi, chef for life. You have catch and cooking at same time. Hard working man. Like all your video from Saipan near Guam. Cheers.

[@smokingbore4417]

“Knife is life” great video.

[@NeroGamersUnity]

You can also add diced tomatoes to that sauce as well! I have never seen anyone on KZbin make that sauce but I make it all the time haha

[@hellomralex]

Nothing special about lime and fish sauce lol

[@MM-gg3rg]

Taku, thanks for another great video! I always caught sand dabs and I always throw them back. Next time I will keep a few so that I can try them. I always hear how good they taste. Corn starch over flour, thanks for the tip!!! Looking forward to your next video;

[@Michelle13lue]

Sheesh that looks delicious. I think I can handle making this. That sauce looked refreshing.

[@SkyfallLotus]

Wow that sounded crispy! And followed your IG! :D Another great video - thank you both!

[@buddyguyeh319]

I love the ever day post keep up the good work

[@kaitlynbui]

caught my first fish ever and it was also a sanddab!! ginger, green onion, and soy sauce. tasty.

[@DogDudeDrone]

Damn you got it down now Taku, simple fishing awesome cooking!

[@B3NNY26]

Looks good! I like to add palm sugar to take away the sharp acidity and a little lime zest.

[@terryjohnson2093]

That sauce looks good. One of my favorite fish to eat. Catching them is more like work than fishing. There are so deep, usually about 300 plus feet, and you use such a heavy weight, 1 to 2 pounds, you don't reel in just one or two at a time. I usually use 10 to 12 hooks, little strips of squid for bait, and I usually have 2 gangions set up. Send one to the bottom, wait a few minutes, 5 to 10 at the most, and reel them in. You lay them out on the deck, unsnap them from the swivel, snap on the other already baited up gangion, and send that one to the bottom and set it up. You then unhook your fish, put them in a bucket, put squid strips on the hooks and lay that out. Then its time to reel in your fish, and repeat the process. The least I have ever caught in one day is 105 the most 268. Fast and easy to clean, sweeter than halibut, and if you like to catch fish to eat, one of the best deals in sportfishing. You can fry them, use just about any sole recipe, or even deep fry them until they are crisp and eat them like big chips, bones and all. Yummy. I need to go fishing.....

[@broomstickcowgirl]

I've only had sand dabs once but it was amazing!! I had it in Monterey, Ca at the Old Fisherman's Grotto. They catch them right off of the dock there and cook them up. Soooo good.

[@cmdkilla123]

Love it bro I learn alot cooking wise watching you truly inspirational 💯

[@KaoV1983]

Looks great. I hope to get out in the water soon for some dabs and flounder.

[@truthseeker1328]

I love that fresh sauce you made but the only other thing I think I would add is a clove or two of fresh finely minced garlic. I'm sure your garnish is great by itself but fresh garlic has always added that little bit of extra pungent flavor for me. Thanks for sharing and while I don't have access to fresh sand dabs, which looks absolutely amazing, I'll try your fresh garnish on other kinds of fried fish very soon.

[@casperrealov]

dope cook out and agree that they even seemed a bit boring to catch in the video, the wok looks fire.

[@Gabriel-gw8hf]

appreciate the 4k quality uploads recently!!

[@ivettemejia9482]

Don't eat any seafood but here I lay watching every video you post ❤

[@snoopy914]

My dad catches sanddabs all the time. Fried is one of my favorites but we also steam them with a black bean garlic sauce

[@therealKerb]

Lots of people target sanddabs down here in SoCal. Especially out of Ventura and around Catalina. They pull them in by the thousands. Good eats for sure.

[@TheRameNinja]

Hey Taku! Fun fact about green onions, if you only chop the green part you can save the white stalks and put them in a cup/mason jar/even a water bottle with enough water to cover about half the stalk and you can easily grow new and fresh green onions in as little 1-3 weeks

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

Well, Sanddab are used for live bait when Ling Cod fishing and we try to bring up as many as we can on the Subiki rig to fill the bait well. this time of year the Dabs are often the target fish when on the combo trips. Dabs first then go pull the crab pots. Dabs are a fantastic eating fish and offered at a lot of high-end restaurants. They are better when battered and broiled but frying is quicker and easier. Anyway, an excellent table fish. So easy to catch so I never go out on the Dab and crab combo trips.

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

Nice apron. Love the color combo and double pocket.Great place for chopsticks.

Danggggg way to make something delicious out of something a lot of people take for granted! And cheers with that Lagunitas! 🍻

[@morrobayfishing5515]

I was skeptical until I saw the bones pull out. Then it looked really tasty! Those are two toe's favorite bait for ling cod when heads out to his Fish locker...

[@BenjiSun]

looks as delicious as olive flounder(hirame). nice!

[@Pahpahzohteh]

"Knife is Life" There was a local Japanese grocery store (Mitsuwa Marketplace) that was relocating and they were having a closing sale with everything 25% off. I remember they had a few knives made in Japan on sale. They were from $60-$120 +25% off. Looking at your video makes me regret not buying a few of them while they were on sale. with that being said, my all time favorite knife has to be my Nakiri, hands down. that was a smart set up. dope!!

[@miketorres4985]

That would be great with some Thai sticky rice! Looks great!

[@ghafranmohd3061]

Dear Outdoor Chef Life, i really like watching your videos on how you catch your own seafood and cooking them afterwards. I hope that in the future during the cooking phase, you will be adventurous to try out different ways of cooking from different countries. Maybe squid ink pasta or chilli crabs etc.

[@jimshen0308]

that blue carbon steel is a beauty

[@jacehirano325]

"Knife is life" Sending Aloha from Hawaii. Everyone stay safe!

[@mrstephenla]

I love sand dab. Easy to catch off the LA waters. Most fish markets sell them also

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

Thanks for the easy delicious sauce recipe. Learn something new every day. Might try it kona crabs or Menpachi.

[@rachaelscofield8082]

Halibut might be my favorite white fish, honestly. Looks great, keep up the awesome content Taku & Joycelyn (:

[@2mickj]

Your videos are so inspiring & make me want more fish... & beer. 🤣 “knife is life”

[@natelane588]

Got my first sand dab at the jetty last weekend! Crabbin' and Dabbin'!

[@gymz4065]

I’m going this weekend! Also crabbing too!

[@ericyang5261]

I think it will be more appropriate to call it flounder than mini halibut either way, how you cooked it look so delicious!

[@jnim1000]

A beer company needs to sponsor my boiii taku! Looks tasty man needa try when I get a chance.

[@MajesticPickle_]

I just realized that Jocelyn is down with the cooked fish now. When did that change?

[@OutdoorChefLife]

She likes it when it's crispy!

[@Wildmike1448]

Fade on point mr taku - awesome vid :)

[@b.whisky9438]

They are also tasty when steamed with ground pork, shrimp paste and silky tofu. Then pour super hot oil.

[@djukem]

🤤🤤. Great sauce with steak as well. I add tamarind powder to mine. My brother makes it with tomatoes over fried fish. Awesome vid. You should hit up some crappie soon. Great pan fish to fry up as well. Tight lines!

[@henrygarrison1613]

Fantastic! As always

[@magbang9684]

Following !!! I wish we had these in alaska they look great!!!

[@mile754]

KZbin recommended me your channel, and goddamn I love your content, keep it up!

[@jasonlee1457]

What my friend and I do with a small party of people is get a few dozen of them and fillet the meat off just like you would a halibut. Then deep fry the fillets just like you did and also fry the bones as well. In doing that we get fish bone crackers and 4 pieces of fried fillets.
