Catch and Sushi Series Ep.6: Herring Eggs

This time of year, the bay fills with the annual herring spawn. Many people catch these herring which are good to eat or used for bait. This time, I just wanted to go for the eggs which are in my opinion, delicious!

You make good videos are you a shelf

[@imnotimportant]

I can assure you 99% of the people "limiting out" are going to eat what they take. I don't know a single sportsman/woman who takes a limit of anything and throws it away when they get home.

[@bruhcringe9769]

This would be good food for a vegetarian

[@reignske]

ur mum XD queeficus depends if they count the herring eggs as alive or lol

[@izf4660]

Everytime a piece of the food dropped... So did my heart.

[@harrythebait9793]

dont worry there is a pan right under

[@apuat711]

The seagulls will take care of it 😉

All good, the limit is 25 pounds, lol.

I usually don’t watch stuff like this, but this has opened my eyes to a different life style this is so cool!!

I love herring eggs! In Alaska we eat them still on kelp or the pine tree branches. I usually eat them raw since Ive been eating them all my life, but typically I eat it (may sound gross) with seal oil. I also love them with soy sauce and found that the entire taste was complimented with fresh carrots. :) And I agree as they are very underrated. They're delicious!

[@AbitOverkilI]

Seal oil is bomb but Hooligan grease is my go to.

[@kidbogus3731]

I'm from oregon so I'm oblivious but are you serious about the pine?

[@AbitOverkilI]

@@kidbogus3731 not OP but yes we lay Hemlock branches in the ocean for the herring to lay their eggs on. After they have we pull up the branches and feast! Haha. I have helped my family harvest eggs in Sitka. It is very fun and nothing beats eggs fresh out of the ocean. It is an absolutely amazing mix of flavor. Ocean meets mountain

[@kidbogus3731]

@@AbitOverkilI that makes more sense lol, thanks for letting me know

[@Timmothy2012]

I've always wanted to try seal oil

[@happycat0411]

It's extremely encouraging when a person can take life back to the very basics.

[@EJxDOT]

Hate how people get upset about him eating it and letting people know about it like wtf its food and if people wana eat it then so be it, like we dont yell at vegans cuz there eating all the leafs in world, like its just dumb on how you can criticize peoples way of living granted he can buy that but back in our native times we didnt buy much food we hunted and gathered so dont get mad at him for doing something that natural to most humans

[@BAlvn-yr6ej]

anyone that would get mad about what he is doing here is really a fanatic with issues..this is perfectly natural and sustainable and really he isn't killing anything either. now if he makes a video harpooning porpoises off the coast that might be a little different! lol

[@soulmolasses33]

You know you're a chef when you go for something no one is going for. Great video. thanks.

[@MarkSoliday]

I thought this episode was fantastic. You are a great chef and content producer. Keep it up.

[@SofiaRamirez-rh4zt]

8:40 there’s a seal on the left :) love that lol

[@jesselattin174]

"HELL YA" love how you are off by yourself getting the stuff no one else is going after

[@OutdoorChefLife]

I think it's human nature to join what everybody is doing but if you take a step back, often times you find the best things

[@maggieburkett3585]

I think this is the best video on the internet, today. You are an inspiration to us all. I plan to watch this once a day for the rest of my life until maybe one day I can go out and try it myself. Thank you for this.

[@LorettaChin]

Watched 4 vids, the moment you said, I’m just taking what I can eat, I nodded, paused and subbed. Great respect for you.

[@outdoorschoolofthought]

Thanks for the shout out! 😁

[@tastyneck]

Subbed.

[@rbuenafe100]

subbed as well!

[@hsinglanjin]

Love your videos. I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and never knew about all these places you go and forage. My husband just got his fishing license and we look forward to following your videos and heading out to the coast to forage!

[@huyyuh135]

Taku you make me miss the pacific so much. i hope one day ill be walking the beach and see you foraging somewhere! never stop doing this! one of the best things on KZbin! thank you for showing us this amazing side of the west coast

[@ixCyndi]

I love your content ! Keep it up 🤗

damn sorry bout the bike. that looks hella bomb tho.

Anybody who would vandalize a motorcycle should be killed.

[@MrAlwaysRight]

Explosive.

[@mrdandansan]

I just discovered your channel a week and a half ago and there is something about the energy you bring to it that I just love. Keep the videos and that good food coming!

[@ebs_987]

Seeing these videos really opened my eyes to this whole lifestyle. I really want to learn to do this for myself, as if just gives me more reason to go out and explore and make some seriously good and healthy food. Thank you for making me interested in this

[@tastyneck]

Love that you tend to keep it local. Makes me want to get out of the Sunset and go to these places.

[@jocelynnguyen2812]

I'm really enjoying your videos! I learned how to castnet this year and was out there at the Point, possibly at the same time lol. Did pretty good, my friends and I caught 2 full buckets, and then spent about 5 hours processing. So much work. Saved the eggs and milt and fried up some herring fresh, then smoked the rest. The eggs on seaweed is so tempting but I'm too grossed out by the thought of seaweed growing in that oil refinery water - I figure the herring at least is just in the bay to spawn. But I'm sure it's fine if you're not eating it often. Anyway, thanks for the videos, you fill a nice niche in the KZbin catch and cook world :)

[@xicoyo]

Love the vid Taku...right in the backyard of my stomping grounds in Richmond! Keep up the amazing work...foraging, catching, cleaning and cooking!! LOVE IT!!

[@townbidness206]

These videos are so calm, love the content keep it going

[@dylanveloca9428]

"A little bit of avocado, rice and eggs" *actually puts an entire handful down*

[@beowulf39565]

Your conservative approach to harvesting Mother Nature's Bounty, in your videos, is commendable. I just wish I lived around there so I could go Harvest some of those Herring eggs for myself.

[@thatshirleylee]

Started watching all of your videos after coming across your channel and finally caught up today! Really enjoy the vids as it’s like taking a sneak peek of your life surrounded by nature, the ocean and good food. Even though I probably will never forage any food (I live in Hong Kong) I watch these videos ‘cause they give me a feeling of peace. Keep up with the good work!

[@jserr3739]

Dude simple stuff like this one that normal people can do without a big boat or expensive equipment is what I subscribe to this channel for.

[@ahelpinglittlehand]

Aloha from Hawaii! Love your videos! Great content and information. You are so authentic and humble, and very much appreciated. 🙏🏼

[@mzhang654]

these videos are so wholesome, it's like a nice little escape from the insanity of the rest of the world. You really know how to enjoy the simple things in life. Keep up the good work man.

[@bigbrain779]

Exactly man, i wish i could enjoy life the way this guy does

[@CrystalMouse1]

Gawd I miss herring season in Alaska. The native people shared their delicious food with friends and wow that kept me alive growing up. They threw the branches into boiling water and then we dash with butter and soy sauce 😋🥰 crunchy jewels popping in your mouth. Tastes like fish broth or pho soup base. Amazing food and made me feel incredible afterwards. So healthy

[@gesie0504]

To be honest that BGM always KILLS IT! 👍🏻 Makes the video more interesting to watch while eating. 🤩🤩🤩

[@jeanbaptistevallee4500]

It`s dark o` clock in the morning and someone eating fish eggs made my stomach growl. Growing up, I would have never guessed that happening!

[@elroc1]

Straight attacked that roll! Great episode, cool to see something new and unique

[@GamingwithKo]

Man I love your videos, and how you respect the fish and environment. Only taking what you can eat thank you so much for sharing these with us, man it makes me so hungry and I want to drive from Oregon just to experience what you show us. I swear I have gone threw in the past 3or4 days and watched every video you have posted lol. Thank you again!

[@Stina6266]

Oh my goodness! I could live and eat like this all day everyday! 😋 mmmm

Dude I love those handrolls. Here in Brazil we call them Temaki, and it’s a part of my every single week diet. ❤️

[@soulmolasses33]

Dude you're killing it! Thanks for the excellent content. Hope to forage with you in mendo some time!

[@Fehrnseherglucken]

Im starving now! I can almost taste it. The pop of the eggs made me drool.. Damn! I'm hungry.

[@kellywaggoner6703]

That looks mouthwatering amazing!!

[@kaylas2931]

On Vancouver island us natives LOVE to eat this. We use pine branches to catch them, as well as search for them on seaweed. We call is qwak’mis ( pronounces “gwok” as in guacamole, “mis” like miss). ❤️

[@wavierhickory2521]

Lol don't think nobody noticed that under the breath shit after you dropped that big pice of avocado on the second roll we aint deaf😂😂😂 love you man

man i'm obsessed with these videos; almost every day i dream of being able to do this

That looks yummy. out here we only ever sometimes can get prairie oysters..... and that is rare, wish I were closer to the ocean.

man every time i watch your video i get hungry😂😂

[@tobykeoboupha2983]

Looks good. This one got me drooling. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevetakahashi279]

The japanese herring roe (Kazunoko) is very expensive especially around New Year's time. We use Kazunoko as a traditional food to celebrate the coming new year. Yet in your video you can just go down to the water front and hand pick the roe for free. Sooo lucky.

[@christinahutchens5433]

Chef, I'm goimg to have to try that handroll, it looks epic! I love the simplicity of your food. Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed every second. Can't wait until your next video.

[@EpicMarkus]

Great as allways! Do you think you could make a video on how to make perfect sushi rice, as thats what i'm struggeling most with

[@Huard28]

Kazunoko and Komchi Kombu. Two of my all times faves! Awesome.

[@ghoma85]

I know they're cheap but watching those pieces of avocado drop brought small tears to my eye, so delicious!

[@Tlingitboss]

mannnnnnn thats my tribes bread n butter the roll you made looks delicious!

Man... I'm hungry for some! Looks good bro!

[@Thesonic337]

I’m regretting watching this at 1am it look so good! 🤤

[@paulhoshi-nagamoto7566]

Great episode, this was a video I really didn't see coming. In the PBS series, "Earth: A New Wild," it talks about how the First Nation's People (of Canada) harvest the herring eggs by... Well I highly suggest to check it out cause it's really cool (everybody, not just Taku). It's in the "Forest" episode, but I encourage you to watch all of of the episodes. Also, Sorry about the bike, it sounded like a loooong day.

Hoang Douglas if you like cooking yeah OCL is better but FL have way more fishing tips and catch way more fish. I assume you don’t know much about fishing.
