I Cooked In The Arctic Circle

I never thought I’d do this. Catching arctic king crab, competing against a top chef, and freezing ocean water.

Thank you guys for all this love on the new book! YES we noticed the Amazon preview glitch where a photo doesn’t match the recipe next to it. That is purely an Amazon error which should be fixed soon, and it’s not like that in the book! Anyway carry on, I love you all, can’t wait for you guys to have this book!!!

@@LividTunic Janne is definitely a Finn (or maybe Sami or Kven), but based on his accent I would guess he's lived in Norway all his life. No hint of the Finnish accent in his English.

[@FemmeFlowLiving]

Joshua, you should consider doing this like a mini series “around-the-world-ish”, where you catch and cook meat/ or just cook some really local food with the locals. Your charisma is so perfect for that ❤ and educate your viewers on these amazing experiences

[@HillsPatrolTD42]

bahahahahahaha Josh is not a professional chef, never has been 😂🤣😂🤣 he was a COOK for 2 years, never got a qualification, never went to culinary school, and has spent pretty much all of his time posting narcissistic wank material on youtube stealing other people's recipes, or pretending he's a hero by cooking "better" food than a FAST FOOD joint, that costs him way more and takes 100 times longer... yeah, what a chef...

[@SeanFerree]

[@Air_Pilote]

I love how they were talking about how the king crab is an invasive species and then the fisherman flipped one over to stop it from running. That was so hilarious I was like "damn, thats not a lot to stop it lmao"

[@100GTAGUY]

Tonic immobility ftw

[@LPdedicated]

I really love how the dry humor and bluntness us Scandinavians tend to possess contrasts with someone high energy (and Amercian) like Josh. The dynamic between him and chef Janne was everything! Sidenote: You look either like an Asbjørn, Frej/Freyr or Leif to me.

[@jonathanflopstein8587]

Never met a guy named Freyr here in Norway. Maybe a 1000 years ago

[@LPdedicated]

@@jonathanflopstein8587 I think the name (especially the spelling "Frej") is way more popular here in Denmark. :)

[@saramorin4792]

Janne is finnish, not scandinavian...

[@LPdedicated]

@@saramorin4792 Sorry, I didn't know that. I just assumed he was Norwegian because Josh said their menus were designed by the greatest chefs in Norway, and never said that he was Finnish. Janne is a very common name here in Denmark (mostly as a female name) and across Scandinavia, so forgive me for assuming he was Norwegian. //gen. My own name Janni is also common here but I know a Finnish guy with the name Janni. That being said I think the dry humor and bluntness is a wonderful common trait our cultures share.

[@saramorin4792]

[@gradientforce761]

ngl im digging the new direction of the channel, a lot of Josh's recipes lately have felt a little out of the realm of possibility for someone who works a day job to have the energy to recreate. The new framing of the recipes as almost event like allows for imparting cooking knowledge while feeling more like im watching food network or travel channel. I like it!

When you were throwing the hook, I remembered watching Deadliest Catch all those years ago. But Norway is always much more relaxed and down to earth compared to Alaska where people go fishing in the middle of winter in a sea where blizzards and swells rage 24/7.

[@Technoanima]

Because Alaskan crab in Norway is $100 vs $900. Which competition is cut throat.

[@c_hanley]

Captain Keith would’ve flayed Josh alive for that first hook toss lmao.

[@matts9871]

it's because Alaskans are freaks

First off, congratulations to you and Katie! I’m very happy for you both. Second, I love this style of video. I hope you travel to more places and do ones like this. (And I love crab! You really needed a crab-loving crew member to judge your dishes.) Third, yay! A new book! Now I’m off to reserve my copy. My son and I consult the current one pretty often when we’re planning meals for the week.

[@rustyhonda8362]

Best challenge video yet; good competitor (not that that was ever a problem before), better choice in judge, and GREAT setting! Hope you enjoyed the cruise experience, that must've been a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience.

That was one of the most spectacular shows! I love the first part - information on the crab, Hurtgruten (sp?) catching it and so forth before the actual cooking. Its all encompassing from information on the catch & its surroundings, to the table. Fantastic! I would love to see more of these. I never commented on the alligator with Guga, that was great also! I hope you make more collaboration and travel videos. Continue to educate us, its fascinating.

I'll admit at being envious of getting to eat king crab that fresh. When I've had it it's obviously been processed and shipped and it was good, but that had to be next level. You'd have earned points if you'd done a total dunk. I mean seriously, do the polar bear thing and jump in.
