FIJI - We’re on a cruise with Captain Cook Cruises to Fiji’s remote Lau Islands. Along with scenery, one of the best reasons to go on a cruise is for the food, so today I’m showing you a few of the delicious meals!
Thank you to Captain Cook Cruises (www.captaincookcruisesfiji.com/) for the incredible hospitality on this trip of a lifetime - highly recommended!
1. Tivua Island, Fiji
For our first meal we met with Head Chef Jackson from Captain Cook Cruises and we took a small boat to a private island. Unfortunately it was a little windy and rainy, but that didn’t stop us from having a local Fijian meal including Kokoda - raw fish in lime and coconut milk.
2, Indian Food Buffet
The next day we sailed to Makogai Island known for its history and colony. But on the cruise it also happened to be Indian buffet day.
3. Staff Meal
Not only do all the guests on Captain Cook Cruises eat well but so do the staff. One day I was invited to eat the staff meal on a day they ate a dish called Sui, which literally translates to Meaty Bones.
We ate a lot of food on Captain Cook Cruises, from morning to night, buffets and a la carte. It was an incredible experience.
A huge thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: / andhy_blake

Mark is probably not gonna read this, but we're all grateful to have him around this platform. May he continue to achieve success.

[@rossieharman5473]

I agree with you I like watching his videos

[@garykelly2404]

I bet he does read it. The bet is a bottle of his Smoke Ghost Pepper Powder. I am addicted to it.

[@shayb.3450]

​@@garykelly2404Is it hot?

[@accobra4272]

Results: he didn't read it...

[@maryeallen672]

i m sure he is reading it

[@maliaclothingfiji]

Thank you Mark for wearing our Bula shirts. It was an honor meeting you and your family on your trip to Fiji. Thank you for showcasing our culture and culinary to the world.

[@CynM.]

I didn't know the shirt was specific to Fiji. I called it cruise wear wear. I apologize. No disrespect. I love Mark's channel because you always learn new things.

[@smilebg4873]

I was exactly in a moment to say that like the shirt he is wearing 😅. Didn know is a traditional from there. Nice...

[@bennabe6241]

Please explain your exercise routine that makes you not get fat.

[@conradgarcia6874]

What got me hooked on Mark and his other food youtuber friends isn't the expensive food. Expensive eating is common in youtube. What got me is Mark sitting outside the street and eating cheap street foods. The surprise is that human society, where you go, there is good food. The local street vendor down the street is unique. Culture and people are unique elements that can be cherished and loved. And Mark Wiens came a long way to spread this message.

[@leliawinfield8278]

I totally agree with you. Mark's videos highlight good food from both ends of the spectrum! I love his honest critique and his authentic approach! 💜

[@HopliteWarlord]

My wife and I honeymooned in Fiji in March 1994 and we loved every minute of it, the people, the food, the weather, the sea, the country and we are looking forward to going back for our 30th anniverssary!

[@Priya-rf7ov]

I’m amazed how good our Fijian sisters and brothers are at cooking Indian… feeling so proud of my heritage 🇫🇯 … I’m so grateful I was born in Fiji and my ancestors decided to make Fiji their home

[@norad1343]

I have a friend that was raised in an orphanage in Fiji and she's Hindu Indian she even learned to do traditional Fijian dance.

[@VatanBajwa]

They are Indian who are come Fiji island many year ago they are going to any country I don't know exact but they started living in Gigi island pacific Ocean I think in British empire back in india

[@teekay3983]

​@VatanBajwa they are Fijian. But Fiji have a great Indian population and the cuisine and lifestyle have intertwined thus many non Indians can cook Indian food. Fijis cuisine includes Fijian, Indian, Chinese, and European... all major part of the population since colonization

[@minotor687]

Beef curry you wana try??😅

[@mubienkvape]

But I'm sure with fijian influence, the spices are a bit mellow down. Not as strong as the original.

[@neill3040]

Mark’s son has already been to more places than most of us will in our lifetimes

[@theavereviewer7081]

More Fijian restaurants are needed. This food looks divine

[@araffadmalim1571]

A lot of influences from India. Indonesia, n Thai

[@eparamaravinatata1041]

​@araffadmalim1571 apart from the Indian influence,Itaukei are austronesian.

[@anne-mk3mx]

Exactly

[@myopicthunder]

​ it's a Fijian and Indian fusion, theres a lot more Fijian food not shown here like how people in the interior regions cook in bamboo and the different plants, animals from the forests and rivers.

[@simionenauluvula7981]

​@@eparamaravinatata1041we are Fijians not Austronesian that's what science says.

[@ellarakanai]

Love how Mark went to the different parts of Fiji to explore and unpack different foods that make up our small island 💯 From in land, to the towns/cities, to the islands 🤌🏾🤍🩵🇫🇯

[@savgunasek449]

Yhh

[@PacifikaGodz]

would have been nice if there were more..Episode 1 was all Coconut milk, Episode 2 was all Curry, and this one is a bit of both. How bout the underground lovo and other foods

[@PP-tuga]

​@PacifikaGodz he wasn't paid to show different foods , Mark is a trade mark and if you want to him show your foods you need to pay . BUSINESS

[@PacifikaGodz]

@@PP-tuga come on.. you think the ladies in the market paid that much to advertise their food? It’s the markert…hundreds and thousands of people go to the markert everyday, she don’t need to show her product .. and plus he came to FIJI!! He has to try local food…so far it’s just seafood in coconut milk and loads of curry…first day he had the runs due to all the coconut milk, next day his arse is on fire with all the curry lol

[@PP-tuga]

@PacifikaGodz off course, not the ladies in the market, but everyone else .... Will pay , don't get me wrong but youtube is a business and Mark is a trade Mark so is all about that MONEY

[@helenellis1045]

Mark, thank you for giving us a glimpse of life on the Fijian islands… it’s so beautiful! I may never get there, but thru your videos I get to see it, savor the foods & marvel at the kind, gracious people of Fiji 🇫🇯

[@Xnshau]

Your free spirit made me and my family love you.. From India 🇮🇳 salute

[@moto3463]

What a beautiful place on earth. I need to holiday here one day!

[@matthewkearney7830]

Loving your Fiji and Australian videos Mark, so happy you have highlighted such incredible and sustainable destinations. Your happy disposition is infectious and your description of the food makes me hungry everytime 👍

[@rizzlyrizzlyrizzard]

Lol same

[@Gooner651]

Thank you Mark for taking us to Fiji and showcase us how beautiful Fiji 🇫🇯

[@zimmsene-enosa8247]

So happy to see one of our Polynesian cultures on display! Malo lava

[@AussieAngeS]

I have always wanted to go to Fiji and try the food, lay on the beach and just relax. It looks absolutely gorgeous 😍😍 thank you Mark for sharing your videos with us.

[@NZWarriors1995]

You wont be disappointed

[@DeafboyGalau-mk3ip]

U can welcome in fiji mai mean mate..

[@maryannemcculloch4499]

Fiji is the best Pacific Island for tourism and for family holidays friendly people 👍👍

[@EyesonEnforcement911]

Almost at 10 million subscribers!! Hard to fathom because I remember you having less than 1 million subs. Keep up the great work Migrationology!!!!

[@kerrymti1151]

I remember when he had less than 100,000! That is about when I started watching him. Then, along came Mikey Chen and I love his also. I don't miss a single one from either of them (they have even done some colab vids in the past). *To clarify, I don't know which of them began making vids first, the point I was trying to make was that I didn't 'find' Mikey until after I had been watching Mark for awhile.

[@ojosazules8828]

Plus almost 2.5 billion views for all his videos, that's like almost 1 in 3 people of the entire world have seen a Mark Wiens video😉

[@leliawinfield8278]

Micah's, " You want the whole bowl?", Cracked me up! 😂 He KNOWS his dad! I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed yourselves. 💜🌶️

[@katrinatu7558]

My 8th great grandma was from Lau and Lakemba. She was a princess named Adi Mekemeke married to my ancestor, King Finau Ulukalala of Tonga!

[@idonawynter7288]

What a joy to watch micha growing and eating,feeding up his dad on chilies love it

[@paullansville]

You always gotta appreciate Mark exploring these beautiful countries around the world to give us a glance how different cultures prep their way of cooking.#Still waiting on that "Mark Memoir" should definitely be a good read for sure.👌🏼

[@ladyluck5400]

The fact that we get free food&travel videos on KZbin by the one and only Mark is truly a gift 👍👍👍

[@karenwalters1]

Mica has a wonderful life learning experience. As a last home educator, I wish we could have done this for our youngest son. He graduated at university with a masters degree in medieval languages and literature though x

[@WhatdidDadabuyToday]

Yay! Thank you for visiting beautiful Fiji 🇫🇯 My parents are from Fiji and watching this video with my husband and kids has inspired us to visit the beautiful island. The videos has excited our little ones so much. Super excited to plan our visit. We appreciate you for sharing the true beauty of Fiji.

[@86Kera]

Mark is literally touching all corners of the world and taking us with him ! Glad I found his channel a few years ago.

[@sampathranaweera6766]

Fiji is a paradise, 5 years i was there, beautiful people, beautiful culture very clean country Love fiji ❤

[@valentinelow1232]

His last meal was my favourite, brings back my childhood day's in Fiji.

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Mark: three cheers for this video! I have been following you for years & this video, for me, a foodie for 55 years, was super. Firstly, I really liked your 2 different blue island shirts. A great change from yourr boring green t-shirt! Secondly, the venue, editing & scenery was super. I've been to numerous south pacific islands but never Fiji! I'm not a cruise person but this 7 day cruise on this small ship was interesting! Of, course the Indian/Fijian fusion cooking is a big draw! I was wondering that why were there no other guests on the cruise? I only saw a crew member eating one meal! Great to see you scuba diving, yes those clams were enormous! Micah enjoyed this cruise a lot! If I come to Fiji , I will look up Captain Cook Cruises & your guide, Andy!

[@rforrelaxtation6828]

despite the uncooperative weather, Chef Jackson managed to create a delightful Fijian meal spread. The cool breeze adds a refreshing touch to the atmosphere. I can almost smell the aroma of the grilled fish infused with lemongrass, chilies, and lime juice. Squeezing that lemon and adding some chilies must have enhanced the flavors even more. It's great to see you enjoying the firm and fresh fish. The heart-shaped fish reminds me of the beautiful Table Island. The marinated fish in coconut milk with cucumbers, tomatoes, and coriander sounds heavenly. The Fijian technique of tenderizing the fish with lemon juice before cooking it in coconut milk is a brilliant idea. It must have created a perfect balance of flavors. And the dish with octopus cooked in coconut milk sounds equally enticing. The smoky flavor and tenderness of the octopus make it even more delightful. The addition of onions adds a lovely touch to the dish. The seaweed cakes made from fresh seaweed from the nearby Asawas are intriguing. The natural gelatinous texture and the combination of salinity from the seaweed and sweetness from the coconut cream must have created a unique and rich experience. And let's not forget the fish head soup with lemongrass. The gingery broth with vegetables sounds like the perfect soup for the weather you're experiencing. It's incredible to see Chef Jackson's culinary skills at work, preparing a prawn curry for the upcoming lunch buffet. The anticipation is building, and I'm sure the curry buffet will be a feast to remember. Enjoy the rest of your cruise, savoring more delicious food and embracing the beautiful surroundings of Makongai Bay. Bon appétit!

Yasawa is another group of islands in Fiji where they say the sea weed is from

The worse thing to do is watch Mark eat all this yummy food whilst you’re on an empty stomach. Keep up the good work Mark. Sorry I missed you when you visited Sydney.

Wow I'm so impressed. The blue sea the colorful coral its like jewels of the sea God gave us. Thank you for the experience 🙏🏽

Island food is so fresh and vibrant. Plain but hearty food.

[@torchtaula9251]

Really hope Fiji receives the tourism exposure it deserves. With Mark Wiens videos I have no doubt this will be the case.

[@TheOriginalArchie]

Micah with the chili assist was a cool moment. "Want the whole bowl?" 😆 Chip off the ole block.

[@user-wh9iw3vu4z]

The Fiji food are simple and their staple food cassava just like ours here in the central part of Mindanao, Philippines.. There are so many similarities like using coconut milk, as expected because of the abundance of coconuts here.. Thank you for sharing this paradise island of Fiji..

Oh my, such amazing food as always Mark and Ying. You guys are still as awesome as ever.

[@Alicia-fy3je]

omg, Micah is getting so big! I remember when he was just a little baby being carried around. And now he's holding up a whale bone. My heart is so happy that he's getting to experience all these cool places and cultures as a kid. I am more than determined to do a trip around the world with my two.. eating good food along the way.

[@emosijougavule2561]

He did not. Here in Fiji its off season for most resorts hence less visitors. Another thing he travelled to the least visited region in Fiji. If he was in the Western side then you should expect more people to be on the same cruise.

[@toastybisks]

One of the main reasons I really appreciate Mark Wiens for and why I watch him, is how he describes each flavor profile. Without even having tried these foods myself, but knowing how most of these ingredients already taste and smell, I can almost taste the food he's describing in such detail.
