I was also going to suggest you both mash-up sometime!

This guy taku doesn't respond to a lot of my comments.. maybe he's specially challenged

[@jenmcpena5857]

So, I just came over from fisherman’s life. Great video with lots of information. Born in Cali and raised in the PNW (now in Texas) and always found those shells on the beach with the holes in them. I never knew what animal they came from. Limpid. I wish my dad and grandpa were still here to let them know... I like your video. I broke my ankle in three places and dislocated it at the same time going fishing. Been sitting on the couch now for 5 weeks straight since surgery. I’m now a new subscriber. You brought back some old memories and I appreciate that. Take care, God bless. Jen

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Jen, Glad you enjoyed the vid, and thanks for coming to check out our content! Take it from me, you will be back on your feet in no time! BTW it is spelled "Limpet" rather than "limpid" just fyi. Hope you get back out fishing soon! Cheers!

I subscribed to your channel a couple weeks ago. This is by far my favorite video of yours, so far. Again, your sustainability stance fills the heart (I'm no hippy, just respect for bigger things than myself). At 9:00..... SO RAD!!!

awsome vid

[@glennevans389]

I enjoy watching your videos they're pretty good you know a lot about herbs in marine life it seems I like watching Andy's fishing solo overnight catching cook videos too

[@BDCF100]

I've cleaned hundreds of gastropods in my life. Roasting, boiling or steaming one while allow you to pull out the meat with a pin. Just uncoil it as you pull the meat around the shell. They are NOT attched to their shell. It is the coil into the shell that holds it on.

The little octo was just thanking you for letting them go. Octo hug. lol

In a Mexican dish cilantro red chili pepper onion and garlic should be a staple

@7:51 I caught one of these in HMB recently. Super weird - didn't fight at all, didn't see a bite, had coarse skin like a shark, sharp spines on the back. Apparently a Thornback Guitarfish

Great channel, the limpets in California are a heck of a lot bigger then the ones on the UK videos.

Most of our CA limpets are around the same size as those in UK, but yeah, the Megathura are absolutely huge! Thanks for watching!

Great collab with Matt (his video led me to your channel Kevin). Keep up the good work and keep sharing your wisdom. Subscribed :D

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Welcome! And thanks for the support!

[@phoenixuz]

You and Matts were the only 2 people I asked for recommendation for fishing and foraging a few months back when we went to Nor Cal (sent you the pic when we caught our 2 crabs, snails, and seaweed). Thanks again! Where in SoCal were you guys? Wish I knew you were down here. Would've totally met up with you guys!

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

We were at an ultra-secret spot down south. Glad your foraging went well up north!

[@phoenixuz]

Just for all the other fans watching, these 2 collaborators are the coolest!

[@glennevans389]

One thing you forgot to add was red chili peppers

[@MrLuchoBigoton]

OMG great vid Mr. I just started following you and oh boy if I was missing out on your content. Thanks for sharin. Like and subscribe already done 👍

California Poppy is the state flower, and they're orange, can't pick them.

I was holding my breath during each scene. I have some training to do in the pool at super sport lol.

Lol, I have been wanting to put a full (uncut) breath hold clip in one of these vids but was worried the audience might get bored. Maybe I should? Thanks for watching!

Yes!!

[@namtrinh4695]

I luv fishermen life, but your video was better than his. Keep it coming!!!!

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Lol, thanks for the support! I learned a lot from him that day about filming on land, and I think he learned a lot about diving the SoCal reef. So it was a great time!

[@RR-id4rh]

discovered your channel today, been binging lots of your content. new to the sport so a lot of this stuff is invaluable. whats up with that weird rock to the left of the horn shark @3:27 ??

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Glad you found us! That rock was actually covered with a type of coral.

[@RR-id4rh]

@@catchncookcalifornia1574 never seen coral like that before, did a double take, I was like "What in good heavens is that creature, and why is he not more startled". I'm a bit further north, on vancouver island! do you know the name of the species, wouldn't mind checking the handy encyclopedia if there's any kicking around here.

More butter, much better😂

Fisherman's life brought me here and wow great find! The editing is such a shame though. The sea diving part was perfect then the other bits with bad audio was just such a shame. Still subscribed though. Looking forward to more videos

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Tough getting good audio on a graduate student budget ... especially after our wireless microphones were stolen. We're working on it though. Thanks for watching!

Great video! Food looks delicious. Hot sauce you guys need to try these as they are very good volcanicpeppers.com from mild to hot and their BBQ sauce is the bomb. Made in Nebraska and I am definitely a fan!

[@g.e.1432]

You are missing avocado from the Mexican cocktail.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

They were in there, but I only found one ripe one so it was 50% on the sandwich and 50% in the cocktail. It definitely could have used more and with the onion would have helped balance the overall dish for sure!

Where did you film this?

Secret spots my friend ;) If I were to say, then a hundred people would be there tomorrow. Since that spot has fed me over a hundred times over the years, I choose to keep it quiet so its abundance will be preserved for sustainable harvesters for generations.

[@kaizenlife1152]

Before they were protected did anybody eat Garibaldi‘s?

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

There were Native American table fare for sure. Also, they are not protected in Mexico where they are eaten.

How can you take the snorkel off under water and take breath doesn’t make sense

Take the breath, hold breath, take snorkel out

[@grotevijver]

What do you use those limpet shells for, if i may ask? (i got here via Outdoor Chef Life btw :) )

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

The local Gabrielino and Chumash tribes have used them for thousands of years as ornaments after grinding down the edges and carving designs into them. I am saving a few to do this with for some of my southern CA Native American friends. Thanks for watching!
