That crab wandering onto the platter was like, "Ayo, what is this divine feast I just came across?!" When you were placing the seaweed on the slate, I was thinking laying some of the sashimi flat would be hard and may not look nice on such a rustic looking style. It was a great call going for the triple rose! Another great video Taku!

[@Jesus-cx2tq]

I like how you dont take us for granted and give us what we want I appreciate you sir 🙏🏾🔥

That sashimi so good that crab came out of the water to steal some

[@yuletak]

Does anyone know where this is??? I'd love to explore on my own, but I'm time limited these days. Taku?

[@AceAndThings]

Seriously inspiring. One of the most beautiful plates of sashimi I've ever seen and you just improved after a catch and forage! Love how precise and efficient you are wirh everything, even shaking seasonings on seaweed. Really makes me think about being more conscious and attuned when cooking

[@eddievasquez723]

Taku your one of the dopest people alive , I always get inspired by chefs been watching you since almost the beginning keep up with the great lifestyle

[@DonGrigorianFishing]

Taku this was one of your eelest episodes to date! That presentation was incredible bro!!! Thumbs Up 👍

[@KyleOfTheNorth]

I want to see Taku on a cooking competition show. I think he'd absolutely crush it.

[@xThat1dude]

Agreed!!! That would be awesome

[@DeathByGelato]

That wouldn’t be fair for the competition

[@xThat1dude]

@@DeathByGelato hahahaha. Right, but it would still be awesome to see

[@kingbacker21]

it would never happen that KZbin money to good.

[@shaboingboing799]

Putting the crab on it was so unique 😂

[@xxatlast8780]

The part with the live crab on the dinner board was fucking genius. Plz dont stop being you Taku

[@betzaidavazquez5579]

Taku, only foraging and using just what he needs and creating masterpieces of meals. We enjoying his creations, wishing we could taste and inspired by all his instruction. Tuesdays are awesome ! 🥰🤩👍

[@ozzleoni6609]

You definetly convinced me after you said, "that's all MEAT!!" Bought the Misen fry pan, now my fav pan, and just ordered the k-nife. Cheers to you and Clammy Gonzales.

[@dewclips5683]

Taku been watching you since before 40k subs and love seeing you go back to some poke pole fishing! IDK why but I feel like poke poling is my favorite type of fishing!

[@lowlifexalvin]

First let's get a giveaway to subscribers Fishing with taku ! I wanna catch clean an cooo....cool..... I mean eat

[@xengyang6552]

Always look forward for these coastal foraging videos! Also, Fort point beers are refreshing! Love ‘em.

[@davidzedd3574]

When you fillet fish with your japanese knife it looks much smoother and easier.... Do you have a code for those?

[@thedinhofan80]

Taku, could you make a video or short on how to make a mango sauce for sushi please? I had a roll recently with some mango sauce and it was great!

[@fireantsarestrange]

I got a couple of those Misen pans but I want knives. They are kind of out of stock at the moment. The only ones they have are the red handle. Love my carbon pans though. Awesome cookware.

[@charlescoult]

Monkeyface eel is one of my favorites. Cleanest tasting fish I've ever had.

[@kconfire]

Beautiful rose-like eel sashimi with seaweed base featuring little crab friend (17:39). He was already eyeing your catch at 14:45 :D

[@thelinecook]

Taku Tuesday is the best!! All of your videos are amazing. From Alaska to poke poling in California you always make the most amazing catch and cooks around. Love it as always. Always great to watch your vids and wind down after work. 🤙

[@cameron1988]

My friend, you killed it with the presentation.

[@ironmonkey4o8]

My man knows how to "sip" on that beer! lol My favorite part of the videos is seeing you pause and take time enjoying your beverage.

[@ascendantking34]

A meal so raw the crab is still moving :^)

[@carcoastercards5585]

Well done Taku! I found myself laughing with you when you slipped, and actually said "Get in the bucket" out loud right before you did. Thanks for the vid.

[@carcoastercards5585]

Also, could you do a bigger segment just on seaweeds? Educate us more about them specifically?

[@hiroi5686]

Yes Taku Tuesday is here!

[@NuttinChunkySpunk]

Dude!! I poke poled my first pricklebacks ever this last low tide a few days ago! Pulled 4 eels out of the same hole. I shucked them like catfish and smoked them. They were are so good. I love this channel! Thanks for the inspiration. ❤️

[@chockchoola]

Poke poled my first monkeyface last weekend too! Made a nice gumbo

[@NuttinChunkySpunk]

@@chockchoola nice dude, they are super fun to catch!

[@NuttinChunkySpunk]

@@chockchoola gumbo is sounds good, clever. Hey what color was your prickleback? I'm up way north California, and the ones I'm catching are light green with oarnge spots.

[@pineapplesauce6615]

hes getting paid to eat off the land. a++

[@ricardiocka]

I’ve caught and tried prickleback a few times and to me it doesn’t taste nearly as good as rockfish. The chewy texture is one reason but the other is it always tasted like it was peed on. No matter how quickly I bonked and bled or how carefully I prepared it. Anyone else have the same issue?

[@karlfairbanks1574]

Damn i was literally watching this with nostalgia remembering him harvesting seaweed and hoping that he would, and what do you know.

[@Anthony-fc4jl]

You NEED to open a restaurant man

[@dovu7237]

Miss you guys doing your coastal foraging. Love this! ❤️

[@LonC1966]

I bought a Misen Chef’s knife using the link you had before. I do like the knife and use it a lot.

[@CorruptedBat]

How do you know if it's safe to eat raw?

[@johngeddes7894]

The good thing about the Misen knife is the AUS10 steel enables the blade to be ground very thin, while also being able to effectively have 15 edge grinds. This is a big consideration for Japanese knives- the thinner the better. This AUS10 is better than the typical 440C that we see on high quality German and French cutlery. 8” is a perfect size to use a pizza peel for a cutting board if you buy a wooden one.

[@slaychild1]

Bro!!! I would NOT EAT any fish off the California Coast without flash freezing it first!! You have hug balls!!! And you put a crab on it!!!

[@bertchoom1]

Damn, right b4 you slipped, I said to myself hope he doesn't slip and wham🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 glad you were ok

amazing presentation taku!

Hey people! I just recently started KZbin and uploaded my first few videos. If you like outdoors, fishing and camping videos, you might wanna give it a try. Thank you so much and have good one!

[@J3unG]

Thank goodness, a coastal forage. I stopped watching during the Alaska trip. Something about that part of the country annoys me. Anyway...keep up the good work, bro!

Would something like Korkers RockTrax cleated overshoes help prevent falls like that one around 2:20?

[@TineJ2600]

Taku is like level 99999 on cooking forage fishing hunting food .. only thing I haven’t Seen him do is bake yes ! Exactly bake sweets do some and please shout out my name subscriber when you were still working lol

[@willisgemutlich2608]

bro i've been trying to back off on my comments but whatever you do is always good. I do want you to use all the force you have to push bringing back the otters. they eat like 30 urchins a day, and when I was a kid we used to just stab as many as we could... probably already told you that and that was in like 94. this has been an issue for longer than that. the russkies came over in like the 1500s or something and whacked all our otters for fur hats. similar to seals. we don't have seals they're all fur coats, we have sea lions, the german shepherd of the sea, but we have no seals. good thing I know exactly how to talk to them. I can't spell it but it's basically arf arf arf. i don't know when you come through santa barbara, but in the next few weeks I have stone fruits (mostly apricots and next are nectaplums then next nectarines. the blood oranges and pink lemonade lemons are pretty much always available, and the apples come in in about 2 months, lemme know. I gots small kayaks, like surf style, oh and I got some tatsoi and other seeds for joc if you're in the area drop by. there's actually a nurserey like right next door to me and right off the freeway too for seeds and they're amazing. I'm also about 6 minutes to the beach/pier. It's right next to a hospital too, it is basically a really sweet spot. there's even a park literally like 3 doors down. I think I told you before, you're free to park your van here any time. just warn me so I can clean my bathroom for joc. no worries on the crabs. I have chicken and other things in the freezer and a net. bring more if you want and keep it up with the posting on the seasons and rules etc. people need to know this. love you bruddah, sea you next week

[@karlfairbanks1574]

“OH MY GOD ITS BIG. oh my GOD ITS HUGE” hahaha 24 inches! gotta be a human record

[@rikspector]

Taku, Could that be smoked and used like traditional eel and would it have a similar flavor? Cheers, Rik Spector

[@marke.1021]

Last few poke pole trip I butterfly the squid and cut in to ribbon like pieces, mush easier to get wrapped around hook better. Once again Sir wonderful video-

[@hmoobgamer4686]

I would love to see you do more than fish. Have thought about gun/bow hunting and trapping? Would love to see what you'd cook with wild game.

[@jaykinersly5142]

Nice video Taku.....I give you a 8 on the Taku BEER CHUG meter

[@johngeddes7894]

It’s up to you, but there’s a reason that old timers tie a short length of 60-80# mono to the hook, with a loop so the hook can move sround. You get better control of the blenny that way and the bites are more positive; l, better hookups. It’s up to you.

[@bonkey12]

This guy made raw fish look like a flower. and a fish he just caught. Respect.

[@featherau8490]

I know that spot .😊 without revealing that spot . In my backyard .

[@droarum]

Taku, you are gonna lose your shit on the coast of Chile, just make sure to hit me up whenever you're ready to head down there. Loved every minute of this video 🥰✊🏽

[@martyphillips2175]

Yes I miss the old stuff please do more. Maybe in different parts of the world.

[@martyphillips2175]

Try coastal foraging in Scotland the laws are very respectful for camping and fishing and all things nature.

[@trex1448]

Dude look up some recipes for "chojang". Goes really well with raw seaweed and raw fish and other seafoods.

[@christopherlee4613]

Yo Taku.... you lost your touch at Poke Poling🤣🤣🤣... Time for you to start all over 😜

[@kennycarder2211]

Thanks for the video. There was a little tiny crab 🦀 or something crawling in the Back ground when you were filleting the ell lol

Vegan be like “that’s beautiful, oh no.. that’s so awful.. oh that’s beautiful” 😳

[@danielkim8246]

Would love to see a collab with someone featured who can make the skin from your fish tanned into leather . Would jive well with the sustainability themes in some of your vids.

[@JorisPosthumus]

cool video, I was wondering, is it without danger to eat it like this without being frozen before? Parasite wize I mean?

[@Training_Tsuna_]

Bro, you got dead stare at the camera and insert the cheesiest audio clip of “badum tss” next time you pull something like this 18:20

[@ksim2322]

Would you recommend that knife for sashimi fish or a differ knife?? Please help

[@lukeweeks]

i had that exact Misen knife and it literally snapped in half cutting a block of cheddar cheese. maybe a defective one.

[@tdfmtig]

Thing reminds me of a catfish, ugly but somehow is really good to eat and plentiful

[@Johnny3Batony]

I'm all for eating raw meat. But eating raw fish that wasn't frozen, doesn't seem safe.

[@vancevehrs5601]

I thought for sure you would be concentrating so hard that a wave would interrupt your lunch.

[@Quintero1911]

No offense but people who drink these craft beers seem to play the fool, drink them to try to impress someone because they are all nasty tasting as fuck

[@jesusjones6415]

Taku down size your hook and use the squid head or a small piece of the body hook the squid as much times as you can on the hook you will not loose as much bait

Wow the meat must be very soft and sweet I Food leveling

nah would rather spend 120 on a better knife and when filleting that eel that handle and sharpness ain't it
