I think all the youtube chefs/cooks need to take a page from your book. Your filleting is so clean. Utilizing the entire fish, head included, is the highest respect one can give to what the ocean provided. It irks the hell out of me seeing all the other KZbinrs leaving chunks of meat on the carcass of the fish when filleting, almost like they are rushing through it, and just discards the entire thing. Definitely have great appreciation and respect to your approach.

[@Steve-oz4md]

I was thinking similar, except I would have been using the parts I wasn't going to eat for crabbing lol (don't judge me to bad lmao).

[@banksjohnson1547]

Yeh-Ern Poh I agree

[@jakegmcoy8630]

Every chef needs to learn to fillet from this guy. I can't get over how beautiful those cuts were

[@letsfindout6587]

Now imagine giving thanks to God the Creator who gives life to All.

[@gavcom4060]

yeah but they ain’t really trained sushi chefs, unlike taku. his training is required for him to make such clean cuts

[@gabrielseegobin1081]

Cleanest fillets I’ve ever seen.

[@Animeprayer5319]

Literally

[@stanf9898]

I was hesitant to believe it before I watched it, but yes. Now I cannot deny.

[@REALCRISKO]

Totally agree.

[@MrAcuta73]

The man has skills...I've sliced up a lot of fish and never done nearly as well.

[@robotman99lolface]

I would hope so he is a professional sushi chef! Still super impressive tho

[@abrahamkim1078]

Seriously. These catch and cooks are so next level than anything out there. Jedi knife skills. Ridiculous.

[@eyeballs306]

4 years later love going back to these old catch and cook videos. Never get tired of watching you break down fish and you both enjoying the food!

[@aeeseuffert]

When it comes to the technique, plating and the originality of the recipies - your skill and talent really makes your channel something special. Truly inspiring.

[@trevryan92]

I'm just here to admire the knife skills!

[@noctus1409]

Exactly...😅

[@ngng7479]

I appreciate the close-up view when you filleted the fish. 👍

[@adolka]

Dude! That filet was sooo clean and the fish looks so fresh. Zero wastage and awesome technique. I’m a big fan and huge respect for your work!

[@memmener]

The steamed fish looks good.. after eating the fish, I'd pour all the sauce with green onions over big bowl of rice, so much flavor!

[@mrshy2u977]

The Bay Area has it all. Great to see this amazing chef using local resources responsibly and repping the yeeeeeeyyyyy!!!!

[@bohemiangypsy99]

Taku that Chinese is my very favourite way to eat whole fish. Not large but say a bream, a small snapper, I've even done it with whiting. I love all the green onions, herbs and ginger and the hot oil just makes it complete. However I could watch you make sashimi and sushi all day long. Watching a professional like yourself is so interesting. I've been subscribed to you since you had less that a few thousand subscribers and I knew you would blow it out of the ball park with your increased subscribers. It's because you show foraging, fishing, cooking etc and it is all wonderful to watch. It does make my mouth water though. I love to make sushi, love Thai, Japanese anything but typical old fashioned Aussie food which is where I am from. Keep up the most excellent work my friend. Michelle

[@wooch877]

My family runs some sushi restaurants in the bay area and this level of knife skills is a standard. Amazing to see in person.

[@thomastubella9518]

When he is filleting the fish it was like ASMR, it even gave me the chills!!

[@walkerhendricks4533]

Thomas Tubella he needs to do a whole same video

[@dillpickle4558]

Pervert 😂😂

[@scottyjax2928]

What is ASMR??😀

[@bensebaugh6017]

This is probably going to sound a little weird to most but my favorite way to eat halibut is big bite sized chunks in a chowder. I grew up with that so it's probably why it's my top and halibut is easily one of my absolute favorite fish. Great job filleting btw.

[@rafaela.4648]

Ain’t nothing better than a sharp knife and a dude who can fillet that clean! Awesome channel🤙🏽

[@spideymcgee4718]

Watching this guy work is super soothing and satisfying. The filet job? The sushi folds? The oil pour? Perfection.

[@susanwoodward7485]

I just love your channel! - so much fun on the water, the absolute best filleting and processing instructions, and of course the most mouth-watering recipes with superb, clear instructions. Greetings from Homer, Alaska, the self-proclaimed alibut capital of the world. Would be terrific if you could come up here if you haven't yet done so.

[@MrfiX725]

FAVORITE NEW CHANNEL!!! Great work, Taku!!!

[@johnfarmer4099]

I’m all for any channel that actually keeps and eats the fish they catch

[@Anna.Maria.Muller]

Wonderful that you can be out and about on the beautiful water as you work out in the fresh air in these times. Be safe.

[@funknatious8399]

This is sushi. Beautiful moment with your significant other, beautiful catch, sunshine, spirits, and a spontaneous recipe. Bravo! ... Taku, your knife skills surpass that of Master Hiro himself. You have the gift!

[@chaadgarcia3958]

I'm just your typical fisherman... but I love learning from you on different Ways to cook fish! 😂 you make me soooo hungry 😊.

[@siddarthbhagirath5883]

This is the type of long content-packed fishing we love!!! Also huge props for making the Halibut head wayyyyy more delicious than people expect, the cheek meat on them is ridiculous cuz they're flatfish. Woohoo TAKU THE GOAT!

[@TheGreatHohenheim]

I love the energy of Taku and Jocelyn's relationship wow 💕

[@michaeloconnell7025]

These are my favorite type of episodes

[@ahlok925]

Nice video. I go rock cod fishing at half moon Bay more than 20 years. You gave me a new chapter how to prep the Halibuts.

[@jamesm3268]

Taku your filleting skills are legendary so many people could learn from you. Translucent skeleton no meat left what a legend.

[@kazzmo1]

Straight O.G. This channel is gonna hit 1,000,000

[@TimLPINE]

Sweet vid sir! And major props to Jocelyn for the superb camera work; very steady with the extreme close-ups and pans of the food prep and cooking!

[@firearmhyuk]

Watching taku fillet fish is like visual asmr. So calming.

[@Singhsensation]

I can rewatch every video and still be amazed..........

[@unitedhandsproject246]

Ohhh !!! Taku !!! Very impressive fillet skill. . Very clean !!

Great way to start Taku Tuesday after the long weekend! Not much ocean near me so just fishing and cooking vicariously through you

[@osirisfrazier6079]

Taku Tuesday!

[@nathaniellollis3868]

WOW!!! You filleted that fish PERFECTLY!!!! That was amazing to me.

All your meals you make are deliciously appetizing. But this meal just tops all the others. Amazing!

[@CaptainEO1]

by far the best filet ive ever seen on that halibut

[@Dustpattyanya]

I love that you use most of the fish in your recipes. I love that Jocelyn shares in your passion for cooking and eating. You really need a lime squeezed. I love you guys!

[@norielvinoya1818]

[@robbergstrom943]

Your halibut three ways looks killer. Glad to have you back into the catch and cooks.

[@mluc1111]

Food looks delicious making me hungry, I have a feeling baby Taku is coming in 2022 🤗

[@datdude1783]

Bro, I watch a lot of KZbin videos and I just noticed that I only thumbs up yours. Keep up the good work man. Love you and Joselyn's vibe as well.

[@hongkoch2861]

My favorite fish prepared by my favorite chef. Way to go. Thank you for sharing

[@juliebarsky6761]

That is one of the best spots on the bay for halibut. I used to live in the neighborhood you were fishing off of. The charters frequently show up. The halibut are what made me learn to fish. I now fish from my Old Town with the minn kota

[@wojomojo]

"Don't drop the phone!" that's all I was thinking

[@NW_Blessed]

Lol I was saying drop the phone and fish man lol. You want to set that shit up before so you can focus on fishing.

[@nmolinaro62]

Nicely done. The adventure, the fishing, the food prep, and a lovely couple enjoying an excellent meal. Keep them coming, please.

[@Ian-gu9qx]

I’ve never seen anyone filet a halibut like that, in two pieces, I like it! We usually score it down the backbone and do it in quarters. But up here in Alaska we’re, hopefully, working with much bigger fish. I’m glad you kept the cheeks too, my favorite part! Like you said, almost like a scallop. Also, loved the slo-mo of your hands while making the nigiri. Just before you cut to that I literally said that I loved watching sushi chefs make nigiri, their hands and finger movements are so practiced and precise it’s almost relaxing to watch.... awesome video!

[@vancevehrs5601]

Love it, I didn't know halibut grew that big in CA, my home state. Always thought it was only in WA. But, having the ability to troll on a sandy bottom, that is amazing. When growing up in the summers in WA, I would catch flounder, fillet and put the all the bony parts in a crab pot for a few day. Pull up half a dozen Dungeness crabs for a feed. You should freeze and try that outside of the bay.

[@peachfreude]

Taku back at it again with the cleanest fillet

[@thelinecook]

I love your style of cooking , you always seem to make something awesome EVERYTIME ! Got me really hungry over here !!! 🤙

Beautifully done cooking. The 3? Perfection.

[@tyn.8934]

I'm from Washington state(now in Pennsylvania) and I loved catching salmon in the rivers(lost a 30+lb king) and fishing for big halibut is sooooo tiring, I caught my halibut up in Ucelet Bay(or however you spell it) in Vancouver B.C. when I was younger. Also caught salmon up there as well. Halibut is like reeling in a piece of plywood! I primarily fish for bass as a sport, but love the thrill of catching big salmon and halibut! Awesome videos! You're making me hungry!!

[@Smokemifugotem]

Awesome episode. Halibut 3 ways looked amazing! 🤙

[@motleyrj]

Nice work. Great scenery, smooth music and delicious food. You definitely know what you're doing. Keep the videos coming!

international flavor, your sauce is good taku, and your style is immaculate

[@MrfiX725]

Taku, super impressed with the way you filleted the Hali! Always your enjoy your videos. You got another one....

[@israelrivas134]

One fish gave u so much! Man! This is amazing only problem now is U MADE US ALL HUNGRY!!!!!

[@sarahhtran]

Watching you fillet that fish was super satisfying! Here's a tip btw, when you juice your limes and lemons, stick a fork in it and rotate the fork while you squeeze, it'll get ALL the juices out. WAY better than a hand-press juicer even. Loved all 3 ways too. ughhh cravingss.....

[@dickiesantos7272]

Background music is cool jazz. A great fit for the show.

[@beatlejn]

My Mom’s favorite way of eating fishhead! She puts peanuts in it just before frying. Just the way you made it, great job!!

[@djflashb]

Your cooking skills is off the hook my dude

[@phippsy12]

Amazing effort Taku, glad you didn't lose your phone trying to get that fish that got away. how good is your cooking, every dish is mouthwatering.

What a beautiful day for boating and fishing With friends as well win win

[@ZhenweiZhou2381]

A very impressive combination of dishes! Feeling really relax and enjoy to watch how the fish was caught and prepared so nicely to serve a great feast.

[@MzkFishing]

SOOOOOOOO COOOOOOL! Really good skill! Btw , We Chinese people rarely use dried chili peppers, especially Cantonese cuisine, when steaming fish. We only need scallions, ginger, and special soy sauce for steaming fish (some fish can use a little sugar to replace the effect of MSG) btww, 99.99% of the time, we don't use MSG to steam fish

[@davidblanck4131]

Awesome episode! So glad you are out catching things again.

Another Beautiful Fishing Video. Congratulations, this place is wonderful and has Big Fish. Hug!!!👍🎣

[@hepplure6172]
