Trying Fiji’s EXOTIC SEAFOOD!! Catch and Cook in Kadavu Island, Fiji 🇫🇯

[@MJ_1013]

I’m loving your Fiji tour. My first big trip was backpacking around Fiji for a month and it is still, to this day, one of my favourite place on earth. These islands and the people have a special place in my heart and I’m so happy to see someone finally showing how perfect this place is. And most importantly how friendly and welcoming the Fijians are. Bula!!

Just watching now these videos from the Fijian islands I have to say those people are so friendly, kind, warm-hearted, down to earth what I’ve never seen before! I do love them a lot!❤❤ Respect and love to Fiji.

[@jayjayeffron8959]

The respect you have for others and the way you adapts to the environments it’s such a blessing may Jesus walk with you to every new destination Mark! Great work! God bless!

Hey Mark! I was born in Suva, spend my adolescent years in Rio de Janeiro and live in Berlin. Managed to maintain contact to my friends in Fiji and Brazil. 11 years Fiji, 8 Brazil and almost 10 Germany. I'm a super foodie. Fiji is incredible! The asian influence, the native tradition and European colonialism, such a mix. I'm super into the travel-foodie vibe and super proud of you making friends in Fiji. Come visit Berlin, I'll give you an awesome tour. But my heart is in Fiji! Fresh produce, and beautiful cultural inspirations. Thank you so much Mr. Wiens for shining a light to this beautiful country. I love your vibe and I love Fiji. Kai Viti Brothers.

[@NineEyes97]

I’m half Fijian, born and raised in New Zealand, and it’s so nice to see all the different parts of Fiji. When I go to visit family we only ever go to Ba, Nadi and Nausori and while I do have a great time there I wish we could go on an island tour like this. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through your channel Mark!

It is 89 degrees right now in San Diego, CA but watching the crystal clear turquoise emerald water, palm trees, clean white sand, and luscious green landscape brings me to a state of calmness & relaxation. I love the tropical uploads from Fiji! I playback each episode a few times to take in every aspect of Marks adventure. The sea urchins looks pretty tasty & fresh as well.

Hello Mark Wiens, out of all the videos that I have watched that you have done. Thank you very much! I find this to be hands-down the best! I felt while watching the video like I was almost sitting there next to you. I am lucky enough to live in a place that has Palm fronds falling in my backyard and I normally throw them in the trash but now from this day forward I will use them for cooking this amazingly recipe. Going snorkeling asap. One Love to ALL

In nz we eat sea urchin fresh from the shell LOL we eat lamb tails, wild pork, wild venison, we also have a native sea weed on the east coast of the north island that we eat . In the south island of nz they eat mutton birds and their famous bluff oysters but you have to hit the right seasons for them. Nz also has the best fish n chips in the world, the further east the better the fish n chips, better sea fish in the north island, the local favourites are a fish called tarakihi. South island has salmon. Best to hit the rural sea places in nz than the big cities for seafood. Also nz has the sweetest whitebait, when the season is in. You must come to nz one day mark. Our seafood and local delicacies are a one of a kind experience!

[@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111]

I saw Taku from Outdoor Chef Life harvest some urchin in NZ and didn’t get a lot of meat in the ones he harvested. I fell in love with NZ through the magic of film. Lord of The Rings and Hunt for the Wilderpeople. You live in the most beautiful lands on earth.

@@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111 Got to hit the right season for sea urchins in the north island of Nz.The south island in NZ has the biggest ones, even bigger than the ones youve seen on tv worldwide, huge tongues, but the north island ones are sweeter. Our Abalones in Nz are also sweet.

Mark - Truly very entertaining, and information makes me want to start cooking again. I have been watching your channel for several years along with Trevor James side by side. I feel that because you have your family there with you every step of the way this sets you apart from all other Professional Eaters. I really enjoy the fact that you don’t just focus on one type of food or food that originates from a specific region of the world. Man you travel everywhere and eat everything and will try anything for the sake of the experience “I LOVE THAT”. I really love the fact that you travel with your family even when Micah was a BABY, I have 2 children and it was hard to take even a small trip. I can’t imagine what it’s like to travel from one country to another with a baby in tow. Yes - I have a T-shirt and a Zip-Up Hoodie and I do wear them proudly. Have a Great Day!!!!
