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 !!!

[@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.

[@papachel]

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

[@iheartm3]

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

[@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 :)

[@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" ✊😂

[@dansmith937]

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

[@lisalisalisa7721]

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.

[@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.

[@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 ! 👍🏼

[@Mikeg28]

This is amazing you are great at your craft

[@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. 😂😂

[@a.d.8252]

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

[@catchcookeat]

[@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.

[@rexhua4833]

Nice. That's really good way to enjoy with friends.

[@robertpeck7003]

Man every time I watch these I get hungry. So awesome man.

[@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!

[@zeldanrj3]

Holy Moley!!! That spread looks UHHHMAZING!! Thank you so so much for these videos, and that kelp chili.. just ordered my 3rd jar. It's bigger, and so deeeelicious!!

[@donEvans27]

[@melbaelba5706]

NOW THAT'S A SPREAD! So jealous. All that freshly caught seafood. ❤😢

[@timbochick]

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!

[@scottyplug]

Freakin' WOW. What a trip. And hey! 681K in June, 2023. On your way to that first Million subs!!

[@tastyj3940]

Always a good day when taku drops a vid

[@andyvan8349]

you can scrub off the black layer of the abalone before you boil it with a toothbrush - also raw abalone is amazing too you can also do a ceviche

[@Iroxinping]

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.

[@brucemcgie6165]

Killer spread. Everybody needs an Outdoor Chef friend.

[@ravenfeader]
