Chilean Seafood Stew - Hawai’i Style - Fresh from the Sea - Kimi Werner Recipe and Spearfishing

Kimi Werner relives an epic day of spearfishing yellowtail with a group of friends in Chile. She tries to recreate the meal they shared called Disco. With the help of her friend Ramon Navarro, she makes Cocimiento al Disco, Hawai’i style!
Ingredients used in this video:
Homemade big island sausage
Olive oil
Garlic
Chilies
Onions
White wine
Fish head
8 cups water
Whole smashed Kona crab
Potatoes
Tomatoes (seeded)
rice (optional. I put a too much in video. Shortly after filming, the rice absorbed all the soup in the pot. So add no more than 1/2 cup or leave it out)
Octopus previously simmered until tender
Kona crab cleaned, chopped and cracked
Yellowspot fish fillets
Cilantro
Serve with fresh baked bread!
a Variables production

Wow! The ingredients! Fabulous! Love these type of dishes!

[@kimiwerner]

It's all about the ingredients!

[@HiloBoiz808]

Costa Rica,carribean coast,they call this dish "run down".meaning whatever you can run down go in the pot. Your spear fishing ability is incredible.

[@kimiwerner]

Thank you unko Limu! such a good a name for it. Such a great recipe

[@corujabuho8253]

You're such an incredible cook. All the "small" tricks to layer flavour. The stems of cilantro is a classic! Well done!

[@kalocals3212]

I had such a hard day today. Your loving story telling made me feel peace. Thank you thank you.

[@kimiwerner]

Thank you for sharing and watching this time with us

[@sidharthrajagopal7560]

There is a rustic nature in how food is sourced, how it's prepared, how it's served, and the versatility of ingredients and such. It's done in such an impressive way that makes you appreciate and value what's given to you. I truly appreciate the channel and look forward to more recipes and ideas from you. Also kudos to managing your kid and cooking at the same time. I'm assuming that your partner is filming the whole thing... so doing it as a family is super impressive and cute. Love it!!

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thanks for sharing, looked like a nice and healthy meal 👌🏾 Yellowtail kingfish we call them, I split the head and smoke it .. very tasty

[@kimiwerner]

yumm! We love our smoked heads also.

[@ouou-db9pw]

I can't even find a woman that wants to go play in the ocean for a minute much less go deep sea diving and get their own food does a whole different ordeal. I would love that I would spoil her be on her belief she goes brings home food for the family that's much respect in the ocean getting it herself very dangerous that like I said it's very much respect.

[@christinasimpson7750]

I'm going to make this recipe. Looks so good. Did your son eat some? Thanks for sharing your wonderful video :)-C-

Pleasant story and great food!

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

Can't go wrong with kona crab miso, tako, yellow spot papio. Maybe next time onaga, lobster, Hawaiian squid. Tight lines.

[@kimiwerner]

for sure Kevin! Using the ingredients we have when we have them! Thanks for watching.

[@themontephone875]

That’s so wise to cut-up the fish while in the ocean.

Thank you for watching Clyde!

[@billgardyne7328]

You are a great story teller. Thank you very much for sharing that one. And now one for you: I was working in Malaysia and saw an old man sorting his catch on the wooden walkway that ran between the mangroves in which his village was built. I looked down and my eyes widened and I smiled and felt quite knowledgeable. I asked my translator to tell him that we had the same species of prawn in Australia. She did. And he responded. ‘What did he say?’ I asked, looking at him. ‘One ocean. One world.’ I was humbled and consequently didn’t feel quite so knowledgeable after all. 😊 I love it when that ancient wisdom brings me down to earth.

[@cristianortiz2478]

That soup looks amazing!!! 😋 Thanks for share the recipe, l love your videos kimi. Saludos from Galapagos🐢

[@k00ey]

You might be the coolest person ever. Yellowtail is on my bucket list of fish to catch, not only did you get one, you SPEARED it. Amazing.

[@ntr-cptr7709]

Oh man! Not a lot of cooking demonstrations can actually make me hungry for the dish being prepared, however this particular dish you made, gets my mouth watering! Because the way you prepared it, I can almost taste it! Thank you once again for sharing your experience. 🙏

Another great video kimi! The best parts are how you are so down to earth and keep it REAL! Love the "not my dog" in each video and in this video, love buddy's diapers on the line in the backyard 😀 I love how you are willing to try different ethnic cooking recipes and putting a hawaiian twist on it.....

[@kimiwerner]

Thank you for watching! We keep it real and life with a baby forces us to do so!

[@RC-eb5hb]

what a cool story and video. I can't help but think how lucky Buddy is to have these segments to look back on when he gets older. not only does he get to see himself growing up, but also gets videos of mom (and dad) cooking and taking him on adventures.

[@kimiwerner]

That is one of our biggest inspirations in creating this series. Is capturing life with Buddy. Some fun adventures to come with Buddy boy

[@teafawny]

Oh my! I'm literally starving watching this video plus the story telling in the beginning did make buddy happy 💖

Hi Kimi, just watched this video and the one on variables about you connecting with your brother who was adopted. I just want to thank you for being so raw and loving with your mom. I reconnected with my older sister after my mom wrote to the adoption agency on 1992 and it's funny how similar we grew up. Thank you.

How awesome! We are interested in their thoughts on our Hawaii version.

[@germangalarce109]

Kimi Werner, Mum says your version look amazing and would taste delicious but where she is from the port city of San Antonio, they use more shells like clams (machas) and mussels also crabs plus no potato and about half the amount of rice ... personally I’d prefer your version (don’t tell mum)
