Catch and Cook Squid!

I went to the sea to catch some squid, then met up with a pro chef to get it cooked up. It was SO GOOD!!!

[@edricketts6887]

Love your content Alex and the direction its going. Looking forward to more content (especially news on the Bees as i'm getting a nuke in May). Thank you

[@just_alex]

I’ll be posting my first beekeeping video soon! Good luck with it, bees are fascinating!

[@JoshLucas247]

I love this type of content, happy to see you’ll be making more of it and I’m exiting for what’s to come in your future! Do you think you might be doing more saltwater fishing/catch and cook videos?

[@thebones]

loved the science section, the taxonomy, you should include more of that Alex, could be a good direction to head in.

[@ProduceMeal]

Oooh my goodness this dish is my all time favorite. My gush!

[@zachearley9673]

Love it, great vid alex!

[@marialorenavillanueva5342]

Love these style of video!

[@DrDaveW]

Mollouscing sounds good. Cephalopodding sounds more specific! Edit: And of course as soon as I commented, you covered it!

[@robh9701]

Loved this I really want to try that looked so nice

[@just_alex]

It was pretty good!

[@Quarry4x4]

I really enjoyed this.

[@crytilz]

I really enjoyed this video. I'm looking forward to the future of this channel!

[@just_alex]

Thank you so much!

[@ryanlotgd]

[@spencertoone7868]

Another great informative video

[@CTRFishing]

Great video Alex!

[@Dannsandiego]

That was fun!

[@Falconer710]

Lovin your new channel Alex you brothers rock always great content 🪨

[@samgarrod4781]

Great stuff. You should see if you can hook up with John from The Fish Locker. There is very little in saltwater that he can't harvest.

[@laurenlewis5353]

Yes I totally agree when it comes to sea fishing and foraging on the beach he definitely knows his stuff and could learn so much spending a day or two with him. Need to make it happen alex

[@rumaniaurbina5979]

Yummy!!

[@C-DugggzTV]

Watching some of your old videos again! And lol a question out of curiosity... what were all those blinking red lights off in the distance during your first session ?

[@Francois_Dupont]

its called "egging 餌木" fishing for squid. its a Japanese technique. the special lure is called a "Egi 餌木"

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Excellent 👍

[@joshshakespeare8076]

What set up do you use for your beach lure fishing

[@mateuszkysik495]

Nice

[@jordandoesmx9862]

hey mate, I have been trying to catch squid for ages. i have had no luck at all. can you give me some advice? mainly locations on where they will be. I have been fishing from Portsmouth and also gosport

[@heavyvoodoo]

Really liked this video. Would be great to do this. Keep up the great work 😃

[@just_alex]

Cheers!

[@jimbob2826]

Alex, can we get some more fishing videos mate

[@robs715]

Is that newhaven pier?

[@dunxy]

I roll the hoods inside out to clean them without having to cut them and ruin the rings ;)

[@nyccolm]

The link to fins and forks does not work

[@andyelliott8027]

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No it's a Cephalopod.................Pretty catchy .

[@marlowjoinery9783]

Where in the uk did you catch the squid ?

[@just_alex]

Near Brighton.

[@marlowjoinery9783]

@@just_alex ok thank you Robert my 7 year old is your number 1 fan

[@reelfishing002]

Could imagine being the first person to try catching and eating these alien creature , where would they even start ..

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

Those four creatures are not from round here. They have been here far longer ... I have watched octopus for a long time and they are clever than us... plus that quill in a squid is really not of this world. There is a portal somewhere they came through. Looked delicious though... great vlog!

[@Ali-b16]

no more carl vs Alex atleast i came to the winners channel

[@philipsmart2687]

What was the restaurant called the food looked amazing

[@just_alex]

It's a cooking school called Fins and Fork.

[@markfowler9173]

O Alex ! I used to love eating squid, but now I have too much respect for all Celephapods. Is a short life span a good reason to curtail it further ? Get back to hunting mushrooms Best wishes 😃

[@astaghfirulah]

Omggg great content im glad you popped up in my recom..

[@karara5532]

Think its probably best to put it out of it's misery as quick as possible

[@neuralwarp]

I wonder how you killed the squid?

[@EnjoytheQ.]

Molluscing lol, keep that one to your selves could end up in prison lol

[@illeatthat]

I would be gay for Alex. 100%.

[@CTRFishing]

Great video Alex!
