Those fish are Sacramento Suckers, (Catostomus occidentalis) they're indigenous to slow moving rivers, lakes, and ponds in the Sacramento watershed. They're considered a junk fish but Sacramento Suckers were a traditional food source in the diet of native Californians, particularly the Ajumawi. Wow thanks for all the comments and likes. I was just trying to be helpful, didn't think I'd get this kind of response. Gotta appreciate what a community this channel has developed into. Very cool 🤙🏼

The white suckers in Midwest are pretty good pickled, like herring, and are OK smoked, too. Wonder if these might be too....? 🤔

[@drewh.8100]

As a boy from Louisiana, I’m bout to blow my buddies minds with this recipe. I ain’t ever seen crawfish prepared this way.

[@Hotpink51]

This is essentially teriyaki sauce with a few extra things added. Shit's delicious with beef, chicken, shrimp, or whatever protein + rice/noodles, and some veggies!

[@brett70115]

It’s called Vietnamese Style Crawfish in New Orleans and it blew my mind too the first time I had it. Growing up eating them boiled, I was skeptical at first but this way is totally legit too. Great video.

[@alexsolomon1636]

Being Asian this is how my family makes crawfish in Texas every year. We still have the traditional boil too, it’s a great mix up of taste.

[@92bagder]

I would throw in some Old Bay just to be safe, toss some corn cobs and you have Asian/American crawfish fusion

As a child we would walk up the river about a mile, a group of us collecting crawfish. Would come back and have a boil, sourdough bread from the Bay Area, some lingcod from Santa Cruz. I just gather around the backyard fire pit, and eat crawfish tell we were full. Mom apple pie. Being 12 years only in the late 70’s was a good time to be from a small town.

[@Killersnake1233]

Amazing vid Taku, would love to see more like this style in the future.

[@rojacone]

those are suckers. There's a large spawning run early spring here in Michigan. They are delicious. Fried, smoked, grilled, pickled. There's several different variety. Some fishing snobs consider them rough or trash fish. You should do a catch and cook with them. Firm white flesh especially if they live in moving water.

When Taku first focused on the crawfish I thought they were lobsters they were so big. Big thumbs up with the noodle idea.
