HUNDREDS of Herring Caught and Cooked for a Non-Bait EATER

‪@TheLostAnchovy‬ does not eat bait...but he tried it today lol
This was a really fun trip for me. First time actually catching herring with a cast net. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

It was a good a day as we can ask for. Thanks for the invite on the butter boat. Looking forward to many more adventures in the future brother with you. 🙂🙂

Carlos said we should all go out together lol I'm down for that too one day 👊

[@learningtobeme5195]

Keith learned that there are even more tasty fish in the sea, you learned that you're ready to invest in a larger cast net. Sounds like a great day for both of you, thanks for sharing.

[@FishermansLife]

Yep it was such a fun day. Everything fell right into place

[@TheEdub.]

I really like the positivity of sharing and letting the whole community grow together. We all need to bring each other up. It's such a rewarding feeling.

[@kimlorton3002]

I spent a year in Sweden as an exchange student. Herring is so big there! Pickled, in cream sauce, etc. Only, I never had them fresh! Would love to try them one day! I love them in cream sauce and pickled. Which was saying something for a 16 yo at the time! Learned to eat all kinds of foods since then, and I know, that is a good thing! Thank you, for an impressive show!

[@david-oc1lm]

I learned from my good friend Robert Cerny, to eat pickled herring in wine sauce at 12 midnight on new years eve in 1968, for good luck and $ fortune in the coming year. It's worked very well, I am 75 now and have a net worth of over $2M! Try it!

[@ISmokepotman]

So good to see TLA getting the credit he deserves. I've made great memories with my 63-year-old father. following his blog 3 years now.

[@kmcpickl]

Awesome job with the net. We dipped for smelt in upstate New York as a kid. Great memories with uncles on the water. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

[@BobWhittBass]

Spot burning leads to increased pressure on the environment, not just the fish population. It means more trash, more crushed mussels, more plants trampled on, in what maybe was a more pristine spot that fewer, more responsible anglers used. There's plenty of public places the city, county, or state list for beginners to find fishing spots.

[@caelanrobinson3353]

[@pgruszewski]

Forget about the fancy species, just give me your fattest herring and I'm good. Always choose the fattest Matt! This fish is very underrated. GJ guys.

[@paulgoling8357]

Hey Dude, here in Germany we pickle hering and eat it as a salad with cream. Sounds strange but is lovely. When you add beetroot it turns pink. Raw onions and potatoes. Super quick meal.

[@slacktide_angler]

This is an awesome collab! I learned alot from Keith's teachings. I think you guys ought to go troll for salmon together and talk about the differences of methods between kayaking and boating.

[@FishermansLife]

That's a good idea!

[@christianfilloux]

Drowning is biggest safety risk for waterfowl hunters and fishermen on the water- consider making a "no waders" rule on the boat. its one thing to rescue a 200lb person, and a another to try and rescue them with another 200lb of water in their waders.

[@FishermansLife]

Yeah that is true. Idk why it didnt even cross my mind that day. I only ever wear pants waders on the boat but that could still be dangerous

[@Herringchoker786]

We used 50/50 cornmeal and flour, just take the head and guts scale them roll in flour/cornmeal mix and shallow fry in oil or butter. Season the mix with your favorite seasoning. Delicious 🙌

[@ankiolebring8388]

Yummy; herring is a Swedish staple-fried in butter with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam💗 or just eaten as a snack, on itself 🙌🏼

[@ankiolebring8388]

We use rye flour as batter!!

[@Al_Moranas]

Yes the Whaly is back! Herring is delicious….we have them for breakfast occasionally, salted and dried then fried, accompanied with garlic fried rice and a fried egg. 👍🏽

[@FishermansLife]

Mm sounds good!

[@browndog9402]

Used to eat for lunch almost everyday at work, my boss used to make a big deal of the smell, so 1 day i flipped his seat upside down and poured the juice from the fish on the bottom. he never complained again.

[@yanjijay6752]

Awesome keep the videos coming to keep us all that can't go out busy

[@rbd6661]

Ive heard of "spot burning". People complaining, about fishing spots, is so overrated. Let people fish and have a good time. Good Vibes, happy fishing, and positive thinking. Fishing wouldn't be called fishing if it was easy, it'll be called catching

[@micahgelfand8282]

Especially in the freaking ocean!!!

[@t7r109]

I have watched both of your channels for awhile now so it was great to see you both do a trip together. Looked like great fun and the Herring looked pretty good to eat as well!! Also, nice to see you still have the Whaly.

[@matsmats8036]

here in the netherlands herring is the most eaten fish in the country. they put them in salted water and just eat them straight out of the barrel

[@ghostgunz9601]

jupp

[@matsmats8036]

@Jersey City alot of fish actually, seabass, flounder, cod, are some of the fish that are here alot. Herring is something dutch people eat alot of because it tastes really good! We eat it with union and pickles. Rich in omega 3 and vitamines.

[@carolynallisee2463]

I'm surprised that Herring is considered to be a 'bait' fish in the States, as it is a very healthy oily fish to eat. Tthough it has lost popularity since the 1970's here in the UK, herring has often been eaten. When cold-smoked, we call them 'kippers' and again, though they've lost popularity, they are thought of as a breakfast food or tea-time treat. I personally don't like kippers, and have never tried unsmoked herring, but I do know Mum and Dad liked kippers. Mind you, seeing the size of the first fish you caught, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at all. The Herring in the UK are only landed if they are at least two or three times that size. As they have a lot of pin bones in them, they need to be a good size to make them a worthwhile fish to prepare and eat!

[@michaelburke5907]

Believe me, in Seattle herring are very popular, especially among older Scandinavian folks. Ya, sure, you betcha! Lightly grilled over alder to get a bit of smoke. Yum.

[@MK-qb5qv]

In the Netherlands its one of the most common dishes to eat it "soused", which is almost raw. Best with some raw onions.

[@FishermansLife]

I. Going to have to try some smoked next. I bet they would be delicious little treats! Just made my mouth water

[@JR-bw3tr]

@@FishermansLife oh hell yeah , smoked with a miso glaze , 🤤😋🤤. Do it for your next episode please 🤝🏼

[@carolynallisee2463]

@@MK-qb5qv I often see something called 'Rollmop' Herring in the chilled fish section in our supermarkets, which I believe is something similar. As I said, herring was once very popular here in the UK, or perhaps I should say England, because I don't know if the other three UK nations have followed the same trend. I believe kippers are still quite popular, as is Herring Roe, but the fresh fish itself isn't eaten so much now, as far as I can tell. I suspect it comes down to a familiar tale: herring was over fished round our shores, the stocks crashed and for some time, Herring wasn't fished to allow their numbers to recover.. By the time they had, a generation had grown up without eating it, and forgotten about it.It can be a fiddly fish to prepare and cook, and being an oily fish, gets strong tasting and 'fishy' as it gets older. These days, people want fish they can just shove in the oven to cook, or better still, get it from the fish and chip shop, and they've lost the taste for Herring and other oily fish...

[@medtech1a]

Fishing in the area you’re in makes all the difference. Living in NM is hard especially this winter. But I’m hoping with the improvement such as fish habitats and better quality waters things will change.

[@sg-mx4ii]

Lost Anchovy fits Keith to a tee! I think I have fished around you before when I was in California. Love my contacts from the NCKA. Great bunch of guys to hang out with on the water

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Electrical tape weaved around the weights keeps the net from closing too early. As soon as the net hits the water, it starts closing, especially when there is a little tension on the line. I've got one arm and have been throwing nets for 30 years.

[@micahgelfand8282]

Good tip thanks!

The spawn in NorCal and the Lost Coast has been very early this year. Glad you’re taking advantage of the free bait. I’d get on it if I had a freezer in my car im living out of lol

[@FishermansLife]

Yes very early. This wasn't even the first! Hopefully there's another one

[@MJ-nq4ym]

Herring is a delicacy in Northern Europe. The Dutch fur example eat them raw with finely chopped white onions served in something that reminds me of the container a NYC dirty water dog is served in. It's held up by the tail became and bit from the bottom. FRied anchovy in Portuguese dishes are delicious as well! YUMM!

[@Jakester_33]

In the Philippines we dry herring. afterwards you can grill or fry them. but whats best with it is what we call paksiw, it's boiling it with vinegar,ginger and tomatoes until the vinegar is almost in a saucy consistency and the herring bones are soft.. dip with chili lemon and fish sauce..eat it with rice..

Hering is revered in Northern Europe. The fact that the other side of the Atlantic thinks it's just bait or even trash fish is mind blowing

Great video! Brings back memories of the 1970's, we used to snag them with a large treble hook, when thousands of Herring spawn at the Coyote Point Park in San Mateo.

[@ataglance556]

Loved this one Matt, please do more bait fish catch and cook, but straight fried, salt, pepper, onions white and green, garlic, butter, and few splashes of lime and white vinegar and please tell me how it goes if you try it.

[@brucekrueger7982]

Pickled herring is probably my favorite, absolute awesome

[@dukeanderson8682]

In the village up in Alaska we cook then whole. Scale then and make x’s on the out side skin to allow the bones to get crisp and you don’t notice that the fish has bones when you eat it. Nice to see other still eating herring. Right on man.

[@haroldkimrey3982]

great show and I did go to lost anchovy and subscribed to it . i live in bay area for work for about 2and 1/2 years i did go crabbing and fishing in fresh water but had no idea you could do so much in the area . i am form Louisiana and fish hear all the time and crab ,crawfish ,shrimp love the out doors ' thank you guys !!! I watch you and 5 of your friends . if you ever come to the south please let me know !!!!

[@hansboersma4354]

Atlantic herring is fattier then the pacific herring and therefore better suited for raw eating. I grew up in Holland and had no idea it was raw till my mom told me. After getting past that idea I went right back to enjoying them green herring. Pickled herring is also good if raw herring is not available. Great video.

[@Jett1873]

These simple videos are always the best videos. Nothing better then catch clean simple videos. I think a lot of KZbinrs are forgetting this. I like the surf perch catch and cook shore fishing videos more then the exotic marlin fishing videos. (Ps I like everything Matts does just like the simple ones more)

[@ChrisPfish2]

Cant wait to see the future videos when you use those for bait, thats if you dont eat ALL of them lol. Great to see TLA in the video, always loved his videos and the knowledge he shares. I would read his blog years ago to learn which tide is best for the different bay species and how I know that today is because of him. Loved this collaboration!
