Chilean Seafood Stew - Hawai’i Style - Fresh from the Sea - Kimi Werner Recipe and Spearfishing

Kimi Werner relives an epic day of spearfishing yellowtail with a group of friends in Chile. She tries to recreate the meal they shared called Disco. With the help of her friend Ramon Navarro, she makes Cocimiento al Disco, Hawai’i style!
Ingredients used in this video:
Homemade big island sausage
Olive oil
Garlic
Chilies
Onions
White wine
Fish head
8 cups water
Whole smashed Kona crab
Potatoes
Tomatoes (seeded)
rice (optional. I put a too much in video. Shortly after filming, the rice absorbed all the soup in the pot. So add no more than 1/2 cup or leave it out)
Octopus previously simmered until tender
Kona crab cleaned, chopped and cracked
Yellowspot fish fillets
Cilantro
Serve with fresh baked bread!
a Variables production

Well, THANK YOU for being so authentic, sharing your loves of spear fishing and free diving and cooking great healthy local sustainable fooooood!!!!! Aloha, mahalo. From Detroit, MI.

2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Hawaii 🇺🇸 viewing again this kai memory of Chile 🇨🇱 and your dear friend Ramone then cooking a treasured recipe at home in Hawaii. Reka nga kai delicious food. Kimi Justin Buddy and friends Arohanui Ana oxoxo ❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@AlaskaPirates]

I had so much fun when I lived in Chile. I spent most of my time in the north, in Arica, I would go surfing and fishing everyday. It was the best life.

[@kimiwerner]

sounds amazing!

[@garliclasagna]

What a beautiful outdoor table.... And Buddy on his throne overseeing all the goodies being made!

[@steved.]

I waited days to watch this video, because I knew it would break my heart and fill my heart at the same time. Momma, thank you.

[@kimiwerner]

Thank you Steve!

[@k00ey]

You might be the coolest person ever. Yellowtail is on my bucket list of fish to catch, not only did you get one, you SPEARED it. Amazing.

[@billgardyne7328]

You are a great story teller. Thank you very much for sharing that one. And now one for you: I was working in Malaysia and saw an old man sorting his catch on the wooden walkway that ran between the mangroves in which his village was built. I looked down and my eyes widened and I smiled and felt quite knowledgeable. I asked my translator to tell him that we had the same species of prawn in Australia. She did. And he responded. ‘What did he say?’ I asked, looking at him. ‘One ocean. One world.’ I was humbled and consequently didn’t feel quite so knowledgeable after all. 😊 I love it when that ancient wisdom brings me down to earth.

[@sidharthrajagopal7560]

There is a rustic nature in how food is sourced, how it's prepared, how it's served, and the versatility of ingredients and such. It's done in such an impressive way that makes you appreciate and value what's given to you. I truly appreciate the channel and look forward to more recipes and ideas from you. Also kudos to managing your kid and cooking at the same time. I'm assuming that your partner is filming the whole thing... so doing it as a family is super impressive and cute. Love it!!

[@JinJeonPingPong]

Family, food, community, respect. I am glad I stumbled upon this channel. Thank you for sharing your way of life!

[@mattygish]

The beginning dive was so intense, calming and exciting all at the same time! The end was pure Aloha, food and more love...thanks again! Great watch.

[@AlaskaPirates]

matty gish the beginning dive represented what the ocean means to me so perfectly. Her videos are amazing. And the aloha is never skimped🤙🏽

[@kimiwerner]

The dive was intense! One of the more special times in the ocean. Thank you for watching!

[@kimiwerner]

@@AlaskaPirates Thank you!

[@Reciprocity_Soils]

The gratitude, the family, the stories with friends: all of this comes together for wonderful days with Kimi and family crew. Respect for you and the ocean the surrounds us and connects us.

Sooooo....I just binge watched like 4 hours of your videos. I regret nothing.

[@RC-eb5hb]

what a cool story and video. I can't help but think how lucky Buddy is to have these segments to look back on when he gets older. not only does he get to see himself growing up, but also gets videos of mom (and dad) cooking and taking him on adventures.

[@kimiwerner]

That is one of our biggest inspirations in creating this series. Is capturing life with Buddy. Some fun adventures to come with Buddy boy

[@noahct4363]

Sistah, u had inspire me to be one better father and provide and teach my sons! Thank you for all your great videos.🤙🏽🤙🏽 we all are truly blessed to grow up and live hea in Hawai’i!

Hi Kimi, just watched this video and the one on variables about you connecting with your brother who was adopted. I just want to thank you for being so raw and loving with your mom. I reconnected with my older sister after my mom wrote to the adoption agency on 1992 and it's funny how similar we grew up. Thank you.

Kimi Werner, Mum says your version look amazing and would taste delicious but where she is from the port city of San Antonio, they use more shells like clams (machas) and mussels also crabs plus no potato and about half the amount of rice ... personally I’d prefer your version (don’t tell mum)
