Good Morning family and happy Sunday

[@lynxnel7431]

I am a fan of Lauren's shopping haul and now.I am also loving this adventure with the boys! Nothing beats family bonding... Love the octodog 😊❤

[@AlaskaBoys]

Awesome, glad you are enjoying the different angles on our lives in ALaska.

[@mandywhitton]

Thank you ham family fantastic xxxx

[@philipmccumbee3624]

I would have to be starving to eat that. You can have my share. What a wild video. But entertaining. Tight lines.

[@AlaskaBoys]

No problem with that! It’s a unique food for sure.

[@ANGELSLVME]

Disgusting😂

[@Thegroundrunners]

Glad everyone loved their octodogs!! Looks like you had some good fishing anyway!!❤️

[@AlaskaBoys]

Always a good time when we get out on the water.

[@damienbell3155]

Wow that was awesome. Wish I could catch a octopus for my octodog lol. Mmmmmmm I’m craving it now.

[@reapergrim76]

Great stuff! 👍

[@karenleemallonee684]

That was really exciting & fun! It was great watching the boys at the table eating their Octo Dog!! Great video, Mark!!! 👍👍 🌼

[@AlaskaBoys]

It was entertaining to seem them just for to town devouring the octopus. I guess that’s the benefit of starting them out eating it young.

[@belindaroberts3090]

That was so cool to watch but I bet I never try it. Lol!

[@AlaskaBoys]

It sure is a unique food. There are not many places to buy whole octo tentacles unless you catch your own.

[@marcellahicks3984]

Mark, I appreciate that you catch and cook. You really give great tutorials how to cook the fish the best way. I think it is like the traps, you have worked to find the best way to master. You are a fantastic cook

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thank you Marcella. Hope you and Gary are doing well. 🙂

[@OnaMuir]

Hit or miss, low tide seems to be when and where you find them. At least from past videos. Great "Octodog" presentation! Yum

[@danabreedlove5622]

This was a great video!! THere is a Guy Fieri video where he invites a chef from Hawaii to come cook with him. The chef catches an octopus just before his flight to bring with him. He has some pointers about how to prepare the octopus prior to cooking it.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks, we can look it up for pointers.

[@lauren6705]

I died when you meowed... 🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry your traps weren't successful, fingers crossed that you can figure out how to improve on them.

[@AlaskaBoys]

We are still trying to figure it out. It’d be so cool if you could trap them with regular frequency.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Apparently, octopus are not fond of kitty litter….

[@lauren6705]

You got me intrigued and I was doing a lot of reading on (pot style) octo traps after watching this. Somewhere recommended putting gold coins in the pots to lure them with something shiny 😝

[@giglefest]

Awesome Videos, Flying like superman!

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks Hambone! Love the nickname 🤙

[@giglefest]

@@AlaskaBoys yourwelcome! And thank you!

[@Peacefl64]

Make sure when cooking, you always coat the entire frying pan, you only did a small area. Cut the Octopus to fit your bun next time, and it seems the best way to catch them is on your tidal flats!

[@MayJai03]

My mum wants octodog now, we’re from Sydney been watching both your Alaska life and Alaska boys channel recently and we love all your content , I came across octaburgers on squid ink buns in a Korean community. For sure I’ll make some octadogs soon

[@AlaskaBoys]

Good luck! I hope it turns out good for you and thanks for watching. 👍

[@marcellahicks3984]

What a fantastic idea "Octo-Dog" !!! It kinda reminds me of a Po'Boy Sandwich. But your name is sci-fi. That would be a great idea for a food truck. Gotta say The Alaska Boys never disappoint for Adventure. Now we are All scratching how to make traps. And that is funny because I don't even fish. Is there a surface that suction cups are hard to detach from? It was great seeing All the Boys. Hunter is always a joy to see catch a fish. Bennett jumping in to the thick of it, to pull up his sleeves and get it done, Weston, the Mad Scientist with his fun facts and very observant eyes, drinking it all in, and Mr. Everett, trying to see it all. I have never tried Octopus, but that is something on my list of have to try. Thanks for this Adventure, this vlog has been in the works for Months. Thanks Mark

[@AlaskaBoys]

Overseas they have octopus traps on a commercial scale and trap them for the market, I may need to do some research on what to do better. I think deeper may be better, but pulling up six traps from 300’ deep seems a bit intimidating.

[@crystalbeardy2785]

sweet cool

[@jonmorgan1987]

Drag a shiny object with a hook on it behind your boat. Also a big sea shell with a hook will work. Google Hawaiian tako lure.

[@Robert-no9jk]

Looks great. We eat a lot of octopus in Japan. Do y’all guys have a takoyaki machine? If not, I’ll send y’all one.

[@AlaskaBoys]

What’s that? I’ve never heard of a takoyaki machine?

[@Robert-no9jk]

@@AlaskaBoys I’ll make a video and send to you. Do you have IG? We will send you all the stuff to make it. But, you’ll have to supply the octopus. It’s a fun family activity and really delicious.

[@jonmorgan1987]

Octo dog too chewy. Massage in rock salt for 1 hour. Slice and place in dehydrator, dry. Then throw in smoker or on BBQ.

[@kodiknott7418]

Can you share the recipe?

[@Lonesomelane-58]

So you don't cut the suction cup things off? My youngest son loved octopus. But it's one thing I just couldn't try. I live in Florida scallops, shrimp, oysters, flounder, sea bass, crab, and I have tried lobster. Lobster isn't my thing. I love seafood in general. Salmon (wild caught not farm raised) is my favorite. When it comes to fish I am picky. I won't eat Talapia. I don't care for farm raised fish. I mean if your going to eat seafood, at least catch it. Scalloping season is almost over. Sadly here by me a young 17 year old girl was in 6 foot of water and a 9 foot shark attacked her. She lost her right leg above the knee. She is a brave young lady. She says as soon as she's healed and given the all clear she will be right back in the ocean. I don't know about Alaska and the sea life, so please watch your sweet sons and yourself. You have a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

[@AlaskaBoys]

I agree about harvesting your own fish. I’m kinda a fish snob and don’t really like to eat fish if it wasn’t harvested by us. Wild caught is the only way to go.

[@AlaskaBoys]

The suction cups are some of the best part! We like eating them, and the actually get really tender.
