Prawning catch and cook with Shauno

Well it was time for another big prawning session! I take Shauno for his very first SEQ Prawning trip. We manage to get stuck into some great sized prawns to cap it off.

[@iraqi9974]

Sammy you inspired me to get a cast net of my own, went out near the salt works and got 2.8kg first time,, thank you sm

[@wihan7306]

As usual great video Sammy. Can’t wait to try this way of cooking prawn, Looks absolutely smashing!

[@shaynebates912]

Just a tip, to chill water fast add salt to it. To boil water fast don't add the salt at the start, wait for the rolling boil then add it, you'll find it will come to the boil faster.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

nice little tip mate! Will be trying that next time!

[@Puto73]

My oath!

[@liamclement1307]

You guys seriously need a TV show, your so entertaining and you are definitely worthy of it

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers legend, really appreciated that! Just have to keep pushing out the content and see how we go!

[@fifigirl8208]

we cook and eat prawns all the time but never been able to get that salt to water ratio correct. did everything you said right down to brown sugar. PERFECTION!! whole family agreed its a winner. when we all get together and boys start watching fishing vids I ask for yours. always enjoy. cheers

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Glad it worked for you mate 🍻🍻

[@DarrenSmith-c6u]

Ace ...made my mouth water and I've not liked them since my grandad used to get them from Grimsby fresh and sweet .. probably full of sewage now...

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah nothing beats a feed of fresh prawns. Not the sewage ones though!

[@joepsaila2837]

Mate watching you catch those prawns cooking them and eating them you was making my mouth water cheers great video

[@TheBoguspokus]

Welldone bud. I miss my tinny now. Best time of year for prawns and mudcrabs at the mo. I cook em the same as you but add a couple onions to the hot water.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

TheBoguspokus oh nice, haven’t heard that onions trick before, is that for flavor or??

[@TheBoguspokus]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yeah I like the flavour. And reckon white onions are better. I cut em into quarters and throw em in. He he I cook my mudcrabs in beer and onions, VB is a good cooking beer, maybe not for drinking though.

Rod Ashford mate it really does vary from trip to trip. I’ve always liked the run out, but this year it seemed to be either the top or the bottom of the tide that fired

yeah they move around a lot mate. they can be there one day and gone the next. but on the smaller tides they do usually hang around the area for a couple of days.

[@micklivin8418]

Hey Sammy good haul mate. Is there a reason you don’t cook them in the salt water they’re caught in? Is it better than cooking them in sea water?? Just wondering mate? Lovin’ ur work

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Mick Livin nah no reason mate, I just never remember to take a bucket with a lid to store the water in!

[@brentonkrause5798]

Next weeks how to will be mowing the lawn! Hahahaha

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

hahahah yeah I gave up mowing the lawn to go prawning! Priorities!

[@etdl1975]

Best way to cook prawns or crabs is in the water you catch them in. (if you don't trust the water don't eat your catch.)

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Elliott Lamos yeah your probably right mate, I just never remember to take a bucket with a lid to bring water home with me 👍

[@theo_nigs5111]

Yesterday at Clontarf outside Clontarf boat ramp prawns were thick

[@therealyt5725]

You should try the Louisiana brand of crab and seafood boil mix. It will give your shrimp or crab a bit of a kick in flavor. Let me know if you have tried it if not I can send you some.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I'll give it a try next time!

[@andrewsmith6235]

Thanks 👌

[@TheHiney89]

Hey mate, why don't you take salt water from where you caught them to boil them up? Would mean you don't need to measure out and use paid for salt

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

yeah mate could definitely do that, I just always forget to take a big container to keep the water in!

[@geksii]

Niceeeeee, lovin' shauno's enthusiasm hahaha! Gotta ask mate, your audio on your go pro is crispy what's your audio setup for it mate? Cheers.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

geksii haha yeah mate, he’s great fun to have in the boat! Ahhhh yes, I’m glad you noticed because a lot of time and money went into getting that audio right! I use a rode video mic on the back camera and a lapel mic on the front camera. Gives me good quality audio from both 👌👌

And now for the lighting!

[@geksii]

Sammy Hitzke Fishing appreciate the reply! It sounds good on all my platforms mate, tv, headphones, computer speakers! Don’t change a thing :) good work!

[@pete2050]

Salt more salt🤤😂

[@Freya_Gameplay]

There's too much water when you boil it, it will be a lot tastier when you boil it with a small amount of water. Or I usually cook it without adding water so it will boil in its own juice so there is no chance of the flavour getting washed out by the water. Nice video.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I disagree actually mate, I find as long as you adjust the salt content to suit the amount of water the flavour remains A+. In saying that, if your method is working for you keep at it!
