DELICIOUSLY INVASIVE Eps. 7 | Bull Frogs in California

[@julialichtblau7796]

Ha! I was out on a mushroom foraging adventure with Kevin last Saturday and afterwards he said he was going to meet up with a buddy to do a catch and cook bull frog episode! So fun to see it was with you.

[@outdoorloser4340]

Look at you all name dropping like a celebrity 😅

[@julialichtblau7796]

@@outdoorloser4340 - there are only two bay area foraging celebrities and that's Taku and Kevin!

Kevin who?

[@knife5926]

do i want more deliviously invasive?? yes!! i love this series. sustainable resources and cooking is why i grew to love this channel so much, so always welcoming more of it

[@reedhelenius2138]

This is my favorite series. Thanks for the great content.

[@SteveReynold]

This is a good series.

[@tooslowmint]

“A little bit of butter” , a classic fisherman’s life saying lol

[@jotvu7]

More invasive series bro! Great job!

[@dr.michaelneely9073]

Just fly-fished for bullfrogs a couple of months ago when we were camping and the fishing on the river was slow. There were several open ponds with lily pads and tons of bullfrogs near our camp, so I used an insect popper and a heavier leader, which worked extremely well. Super fun and delicious! As always, thanks for sharing the great content and if you have a chance, it's worth trying for frogs with a fly rod. It's very productive and a blast!

[@leebarnes393]

A single Red Fly, size 8,10 is the best!! 60years experience,my favorite fun and tasty 😋!!

[@MajesticPickle_]

Don't ever stop this series. It's so good

[@kurkgarro2341]

Deliciously invasive ,the reason I started watching the outdoor chef life.

[@imoverhere8327]

Northern thais love their frog. I was in chiang mai when the rains started. On the roads, everyone was out on scooters looking for frogs. They are everywhere. Had no idea about it but put it together as we were driving to a friends house in lampang. Needless to say, we caught dinner that night with the villagers. Such a great experience.

[@a.d.8252]

Did Taku just say "Bang-Bang" like Gunnerz Collective?!?! The only thing missing was for him to say, "In a menudo fashion". 🤣😂😅😆 Hilarious!

[@rb5043]

Awesome collaborations! Even better with all these recipes you prepared. Way to go

[@Absurd000]

YES! I love these deliciously invasive episodes! I learn so much!

[@reagend1841]

I wasn't sure how much I'd like the frog idea, but it was actually a super fun video! Definitely would love to see a continuation of deliciously invasive! I kind of love it was such a long time since the last one too. Made me stoked the series was adding another episode!

[@lolance2361]

"Natural born hillbilly" 😂

[@mikearsenault9244]

Awesome stuff guys! Love the catch and cook! Don't stop these type of vids!

[@MerKnight79]

Having grown up frog gigging in Georgia, it is cool to see others enjoying this form of outdoor foraging. It sucks that your area is dealing with this species as invasive but its great that folks are finding a constructive way to handle them. Love the recipe!

[@a.t.3135]

Another great video! I like Taku’s excited giggle 😊

[@physicsfan314]

I absolutely want more Deliciously Invasive! I just binged the whole series... and it made me subscribe!

[@XiaoMingXing]

I agree, frog is surprisingly really tender and has the texture of chicken, but also comes with that fishy, almost a game-like taste. Kind of hard to describe, but I think 'fishy chicken' is a pretty good summary.

[@Whyyyyyy]

Hey Nutria are a significant invasive problem in much of the US and make good hunting and food, would love to see you do a Deliciously Invasive on them. I would also love to see you go after invasive turtles. So much to learn, I love this series.

[@BrodibaloFitness]

Yesss! Been waiting for ages for the continuation of this series.

[@JackLuczak-yt5rj]

Been patiently waiting for another one. Love the content!!

[@SuperMeiMei]

I love this dual and this serie! Kevin is such a down to earth and smart guy! and you are naturally good at catching anything hahahahha~ I remembered eating frog when i was little, it was delicious

[@terelljohnson7848]

We absolutely need more deliciously Invasive content !!!!

[@blaze2407]

Been waiting for an invasive episode… ❤

[@jasonhead5466]

This was sick, also appreciated the cut-ins on some of the ethics behind the series. Really interesting stuff!

[@ericduarte8768]

Glad to see some of my favorite youtubers on collaborations like this . Killing it like always taku.

[@DonJensen-xt3pz]

Awesome that you did something on frog legs. My first encounter with frog legs was a restaurant in Pitsburgh/Antioch and it was on the waterfront. Breaded like fried chicken, and so delicious. I think I was around 10, so back in the early 70's. It was a specialty of this restuarsnt. Thanks for the memory Taku, and yes love the invasive species thing.

[@LeeJ31]

Riverview Lodge?

[@christopherjones6127]

This is an excellent series that I definitely think you should continue. It helps create awareness for our endangered environments and your making delicious food. Win win.

[@ericcope8216]

Gig on! The finished product looked great!

[@avivbrokman3931]

Deliciously invasive is my favorite part of Outdoor Chef Life. Keep it up!

[@gabydiaz2250]

Kelp Chili Crisp on Amazon?!? YESSS ordering some now! Yum! Really enjoy frog, alligator, and turtle. Yes please keep up the invasive episodes!

[@mingrui1862]

Wonderful video Dr. Kevin, 11:54, yes this info would make for a great video to keep hunters, foragers safe as they gather CA's resources.

[@torrin999]

I love these episodes :) Always a good time. Ive wanted to go frog gigging for a long time

[@mel_steves_gardening]

Love me some frog legs!!! Cooked over the fire is so good, any word on when the chili crisp will be available for us Canadians? Dying to try it out 👌

[@calhntr1]

Nice Catch, you gotta try soaking the legs in butter milk overnight then deep fried coated with cornmeal the next day for an incredible crunchy outside juicy inside taste southern style! The same way to fry catfish filets, Absolutely zero fishyness

[@ashleegreene4538]

Grandma had a pond. My uncles & dad would go giggling. Have eaten frog legs at Chinese buffet, but were burnt!

[@hzlancer]

Taku, I've been watching you and Jocelyn since you started on KZbin and I love your deliciously invasive series. Awesome idea, it's interesting, different and for a good cause. Keep em coming!

[@tokoloshe42]

Frog legs are one of my favorite and I love a new episode of this series

[@dixsigns1717]

This is a good series. I love this series! So many invasive species to choose from. More please!

[@sunnienelson2435]

We were poor when I was little. I remember my Grandpa & dad going "froggin". Mom & Grandma would clean & cook. I couldn't eat them because they moved around in the pan while they were cooking 😮 As an adult, I tried some salt & pepper legs at an Asian buffet... They were DELICIOUS!! I ate SO many😊❤

[@darrellflorez1112]

I think this series is awesome!!! love to see more.

[@brian70Cuda]

I just love this series, thank you guys, I'd love to see many more!!

[@ianngan5342]

Playing with starches!!! I love it! Rice flour is really cool for frying too

[@issacfukumura-white8516]

These videos are fire cant wait for more deliciously invasive video

[@cookitupppp]

Try SWEET potato starch if you get a chance. We use it a lot in Taiwanese cooking. It's got a different crunch and crisps up nicely!! 🥔🥔🥔

[@eddyshook5930]

I know a guy. Older gentleman. Spear fisherman. Was having health issues. After a lot of searching turns out he had mercury poisoning because his diet was about 90% fish. Yellowtail. Halibut. White seabass. Changed it up and no more heath issues. Everything in moderation.

[@jamescostello6529]

Took me back to my teens in Orlando. We would walk the river once a month and come back with a burlap sack, a croaker sack, full of bull frogs. The were so big we would batter and deep fry the whole frog. To up your catch put a small square of red cloth on the gig and then move in slowly to the frog. He will watch the red and then when you're about 6" away let him have it. Too bad they were cold and not singing for you. They can raise a racket! Nice cook!

[@CL0UD143]

9:59 that’s a crime to only keep the back leg lol

[@colinmctaggart4798]

I really enjoy this series and Kevin is the man.

[@karenlowdermilk3222]

Deliciously invasive is good knowledge and the fact you can go there in water or land is interesting too.

[@dewclips5683]

Deliciously Invasive is definitely my favorite series you've done and another with DR Kevin OH YAH!!!! Should've done a squirrel and bull frog stew xD

[@MyBigAzzPimple]

Jocelyn in the back grubbing the cooked frog and it’s making me hella hungry!!

[@nigelsouthon3590]

Hi Taku love your videos please carry on doing the invasive species one. From the uk 🇬🇧

[@liarliar1408]

Did anyone catch the cap log design on Dr cap? It's more than fishing. These guys are great as they have a special bond to work well with one another. I fish for bullfrogs here in the valley. We have lots of levees in the farm land and if there's frogs, you can fish them. With a long heavy duty pole, I tied a piece of cut bluegill or can even use a rubber grub lure. No hook is needed and the reason why I'm using cut gill is for the weight to tie at the end of my line. I would toss it out on top of them lily pads n work it like a frog lure, dashing on top. Once n a while, a bass would explode on it but if there's bullfrog around, you can see them jumping in for the inspection. You can also just stand on top of the levee n just drop it straight down and make a splash close to shore. You can hear these frogs would hop on it and will eat your bait. You can feel them chomping on it. All this is done without visual seeing the frog. Then you spin the line in, lower your rod tip n lift them up. You see, a frog will value their legs the most. Break it n they will starve and die. So they will hold onto the bait n will not let go for fear of dropping and breaking their legs. I usually go during the rain season as they come out n be more active for the mating season. It's a fun way to catch them with a rod n reel. If you see a levee and small channel with green weeds down by the water, good chances they have bullfrogs.

[@protectyour2a482]

Love this series! So many invasive species to choose from

[@mastathrash5609]

My mind is blown, I had no idea bullfrog could look so tasty. Would definitly try!! I love the fact that you do the saltwater wash and honestly I would not be opposed to like a 30 minute or an hour brine.. Also : nice Puukko knife👍always sturdy and usefull

[@ammyflores558]

“That’s what it’s all about , Taking care of invasive species and making food out of it “ alright alright alright 😂😋😋

Love you and Jos but I am saddened that you lived so long without the delicious taste of American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) As a native East Texan I have had the good fortune to enjoy them for most of my 77+ years! Cheers.

[@frankrodrfranko3883]

Really nice approach, this should become a trend 🙂 greetings from Portugal

[@lstxandxdstrbd]

[@jpulle989]

I grew up hunting these with my dad in south Georgia. As temperatures have risen the lime sinks and cypress bottoms have dried up. Now it's rare to see a small one in this part of its native range.

[@williamgarcia2187]
