[@m.t.4338]

Taku and Jocelyn, I really enjoyed the cinematography of this video. I really like that you two have carved out your own style of vids and didn't just rip off Fisherman's Life. You have your own distinct style and it shows and is working!

[@frischerkakao.9897]

Cooking: Fishermans Life: Trout - Avocado - Butter | Outdoor Chef Life: nice Sushi and so much different dishes :D

[@sessionfiddler]

@@frischerkakao.9897 Indeed. I think he's more focused on the catching along with technique. Cooking-wise, it's poaching or maybe searing it in butter until well done and served with avocado. Taku forages and fishes where he can and get more creative.

[@wind7519]

I mean, Fisherman's Life concept isn't even original. Catch and cooks aren't either. If anything, he ripped off other people, not the other way around. What Taku and Jocelyn has is more unique. I don't think I've ever seen a catch and cook that focused mainly on sushi.

[@m.t.4338]

@@wind7519 Let me clarify, I was mainly referencing the video style, not the content so much. I was trying to compliment them because there are a lot of KZbinrs who just mimic Matts. Catch and cooks are a dime a dozen, what distinguishes them are the camera angles, editing, and personalities that make it interesting.

[@jeremiahvang2781]

Why are we talking about ripping people off or copying when it’s just a shared passion of fishing and enjoying what we catch and forage lol we can see who the real outdoors people are simply from the comments

[@davidg105]

This mans level of genius in cooking and showmanship is second to none and probably one of the best KZbinrs in the catch and cook category. All the others love to fish and cuss and throw their fish in grease or butter and eat with their fingers. And Taku watch out for your eyeballs with that Champagne trick, you know that cork and exploding glass flies off somewhere.

[@johnle5554]

agreed with both comments! amazing video, And be careful with the eyeballs! As an eye surgeon, I've seen bad accidents. Keep up the good work!

[@elliskaye324]

Welcome back Taku and Jocelyn! Missed you guys. Hey Taku my son Bilal and I would love to hook up and do some surf fishing with you after out fasting month of Ramadan. We love fishing and would love to try surf fishing with you someday when you guys are available. May the blessings of God continue to shower upon you both. Thank you for the amazing videos!

Nicely cut and cooked fish on a clean board! That’s something a lot of popular YT fishing channels can learn from.

[@brandonto7329]

@@thai33oz thats what he was going for but with fish

[@wind7519]

It helps that he's Asian, so he's more sensible to how it should look and taste. Unlike white hipster "Vietnamese" chefs that add their take to these dishes to the point where it isn't Vietnamese anymore.

[@fredsta500]

@@wind7519In fact I've only ever seen American Việt kiều bastardise their parents food no white hipster. Also cut the racism imagine telling a black or Asian person they can't learn to cook french food... I will say that the most important thing is understanding vietnamese food IN Vietnam not your mum's home cooking. understanding the subtle differences in ingredients like the limes. I see American Việt kiều (who are by far the most clueless and disconnected from their heritage) use sriracha on everything never seen it in Vietnam or even something similar.

[@syedmehdi47]

Love how you use the right gear and play the fish smoothly. Using a 15lb / 12 lb breaking strength is unheard of especially when people fish for stripers.. great going my man!

[@mantismamba]

I love that you’re fishing again. The dish looks wonderful. Congratulations on the anniversary

Thank you for showing the dispatching and bleeding out of the fish. I've always been curious about that part. I'm so glad I found your channel. Happy bday to Jocelyn, happy bday to you Taku, and happy 2nd anniversary of outdoor chef life.

[@johnlilly0]

Pro tip: saber the Champagne (or in this case, Cava) bottle with the *back* side of the blade!!

[@KenJee_ds]

Happy birthday! Loved the additional cinematography in this video!

[@mul.official]

Dang those stripe bass get huge. I’m not sure if we have those in WA but look exciting to catch. The dish looks amazing too!

[@luketada5200]

they are non indigenous and mostly live within 100 mi of the bay area and spawn up the sacremento river. though now they catch them regularly as far south as Ventura, CA.

[@1qwertyrewq1]

That's a medium size one...they can get to be big boys, but not as good for eating due to parasites.

[@mul.official]

Luke Tada ah-interesting thanks for the info!

[@mul.official]

1qwertyrewq1 That’s a lot of meat.. lol

[@kapolani9539]

Just got done with trophy season here in southern maryland. Pulled out a 37 inch one a few years back. Record one we pulled in was a 44 incher!

[@jaesyu]

Appreciate showing the dispatching process. It's really important and needs to be taught to all boat deckhands on charters too. Not only does the fish taste better, can be stored longer without fishy smell, and is necessary process for any ceviche or sashimi, but also most humane. Every angler should do this to all fish harvested.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

helpful tip: to saber a champagne bottle, run the blade up along the seam of the bottle

[@ChauNguyen-wi5pe]

The key to this dish is the vegetables and the fish sauce with any protein want grill meats or fish in this case.. wonderful dish for the summer.

[@jacobdavidcunningham1440]

[@basically_ramen2588]

Taku, and Jocelyn I can’t express how much your videos mean to me; I really can’t. All I can tell you two is I’ve been blessed with an Asian American professor who came to the U.S. as a refugee and that he does his best to make sure we learn about all Asians migrating to the U.S. Further more, after learning about how Chinese, Japanese, South Asians, and Filipino immigrants help build California’s agricultural industry you both living in San Fransisco doing what you do in these videos makes watching your videos a more meaningful experience. I’ve traveled to San Fransisco when I was younger, and the last time I was there was in 2017 when I visited UC Berkeley. There is so much history in San Fransisco, and I can’t wait to return. Question, have you ever visited the Super Mira market? Can I ask that you two check it out and film your experience there please? I’m just curious to know if you find something worth shopping for at that market. The fish market was owned by the grand parents of a friend of mine who is considered a third generation Japanese American, so her grand parents are considered to be Nisei. Furthermore, her grand parents were also one of the families who were sent to concentration camps during WW2. I’ve yet to learn more but her grandparents ended up owning this fish market until they had to sell it a couple years ago. Again, please check out the Super Mira Market; if you can film your experience I’d like to see it and share it with my friend. I’ve shared videos with her regarding your Chanel so I just thought this would be cool to share 😅 sorry for the long comment. Peace and love. Happy-Merry Birthday to both of you!!!! 🙏🏼✌🏼❤️💥🎉🎈🎏🎂🍻💯

I’m new to fishing and i saw your video. I just catch my first striped bass last two days ago at Torperdo Wharf next to Golden Gate Bridge, in SF Cali.

vp999 no we cut it straight down to

[@hakenbiegerchris9255]

Glad you're back 😀👍 In Germany we dispatch in a different way. First we make a hard hit above the eyes with a tool. This will stun the fish. You can clearly see if a fish is stunned when it's eyes don't move when you tilt the fish. When it's stunned, we cut the gills to finally kill the fish from blood loss.

This recipe sounds and looks like one that would be delicious cold or hot. Just recently started watching your channel!
