Catch and Cook Paua(abalone) in New Zealand

[@chrishubert4803]

Off the hook! What a bunch of lucky guys to have you prepare such a meal.

[@rogerrichardson2223]

Just like Taku this man will never starve, even his friends won’t either …an always makes it look good !!!

[@papachel]

I also want to try spear fishing in New Zealand😁And nice food!!

[@daleshepard]

I mean, just, DAMN. You killed it man! what an amazing spread!

[@paulhiakita251]

Kia ora Taku. Great to see more NZ content. Loved what you did with all the seafood. Just something some of us Maori do with the cream paua is we mix the stomach in with the cream mix, it boosts the flavour. I actually thought you might do it. Anyway I was salivating, drooling while watching you prep this one. Oh another thing we do is wrap the crayfish and Bury it raw for a few days, smells strong but some of us love it this way. A bit like what the Inuit people do with seal. Great to see you and Jocelyn still here. More to see brother.

Abalone is one of my favorite things on the planet. I used to order this fried abalone sandwich 2x a week from this restaurant of all places, in Reno Nevada. Phenomenal.

[@carlcalvin1479]

I don't think we can dive in California for abalone anymore. But we can buy it canned. But might not be real. I miss them. While we drove for abalone, kids would forage for little snals around the rocks butter garlic with a little hot sauce made those a tasty appetizer

[@lisalisalisa7721]

Yea, only commercial and the limits are very strict. This was back in 1996. If you do find it, it is usually at some Schwanky restaurant on the coast and costs $100. The last time Insaw it on a menu was in Los Gatos (40 minutes east of Santa Cruz) and that was in 2018.

[@dansmith937]

Man o Man what a great show. All great fish'n folks catching and eating fresh from the ocean. Good job!

[@anotteroutdoors]

I actually enjoy watching your channel now more than most of my other subscriptions. Keep up the good work mate. Love watching your NZ series in our beautiful country here. Giving me ideas of recipes to use on our local fish :)

[@iheartm3]

wow, instantly one of my all-time favourite Outdoor Chef Life videos. what a feast!

[@actiaint]

Great to see you in my home town - not easy conditions but you guys did well... my top fav food vid of yours to date. Safe travels :)

[@vacationocean]

Taku creates a welcoming environment that brings people together wherever he goes, even if he is visiting. That spread looked amazing.

[@Mikeg28]

This is amazing you are great at your craft

[@a.d.8252]

Glad to hear the good music come back while you cook👍🏿

[@MrAcuta73]

It looks like Taku found a long-lost sibling. Or maybe he's interviewing for a double? lol What an amazing spread. Left me drooling, though when Taku makes food, that's just normal.

[@frobinson1981]

Oh hell yeah. 😂😂

[@coreyjbeats1357]

True master at work. Looked magnificent

[@taanethomas1480]

“Kia Ora “ Māori greeting to you Taku- There is a Māori indigenous story around paua with which I am happy to share on your return to Aotearoa. “Paua to the people” 😂

[@irondragon6423]

or "Black Paua" ✊😂

[@davescheer5038]

🌴 hey Taku & Jocelyn, the free dive is interesting, when you dive all these places it’s interesting to see the different bottom structures from one area of the world to another, and the different fish, shellfish , and then there’s the feast afterwards, done by a friendly sushi chef , cold beer what a day ! 👍🏼

[@johnhollen25]

Dude those are some killer looking plates .....looks so goooood !!!!!

[@CalvinRRC]

Taku your content is so chill and cozy. Just going out, sustainably harvesting from the ocean, making friends, cooking for them. I'm glad you got to this point with youtube and get to share these adventures.

Guess what, Taku? My husband and I went fishing today and then stopped at a local deli for some food on the way home. And what do ya know?? They carry your kelp chili crisp! Was pretty surprised to see it here in SLC, UT. Had never been so delighted to see a condiment and had to grab one. 😂 It is delicious!

Hey taku and Jocelyn ❤ my hubby and i have absolutely loved your stuff since you last came to NZ. If your heading to the far north to the bay of islands we would love to host you. Take you diving, fishing and the rest @matauribay far north of NZ ❤

[@Arm2775]

Could you please do an in-depth video on sashimi, especially how flavour and texture changes with age? I see you eating sashimi on the day of or day after catch, but a lot of other people seem to wait a few days. Do you change how you prepare it depending on age? As always, love what the two of you do!

[@chinphantom]

An old Lyall Bay boy here, days gone by when my mates and I went diving past Red Rocks to get exactly the same kaimoana. Choice.

[@rikspector]

I would have killed that lobster before dismembering it. I try to not torture any things ,even one that aren't particularly sentient. To each his own, I guess. Cheers, Rik Spector

i like the catch / cook balance of content..... 50/50 is perfect and your plating is always so pretty. you should promote your sauce more unless it is always sold out ;) edit: lol i said that at 15m in and at 16 mins out comes the chili crisp XD HA! so good.

[@tumairatu6001]

Fry the hua and butter and toast..but you need a lot of them....cool vid
