Smoked This HUGE LINGCOD HEAD + Roe & Ling Liver Pate

[@Northern_California_Fishing]

Jocelyn says it has strong fish flavor. Jocelyn eating the cucumbers. Jocelyn eating the bread with the veggies.😂👍

[@OutdoorChefLife]

She’s never a fan of the liver! Pate was a little strong for her liking

[@Northern_California_Fishing]

@@OutdoorChefLife Yeah, me neither. I'm also not a big fan of fish eggs. It's all personal taste. The smoked cheek meat and collar looked delicious.

[@rafi.khan18]

Poor Joselyn, she has to taste everything you cook, whether it is delicious or not. Please be gentle and nice to her. God bless you both. ♥♥♥

[@terencekwong3033]

This is the closest I've seen Joselyn not liking a meal. As a guy that's tried to cook roe, I never believe Taku when he says mmm that's really good 😆

[@debranewcombe8153]

Me too!

[@kjb21161]

i mean, just taste the kelp chili crisp, i can only imagine how his food taste. freaking amazing i bet.

[@ziggybender9125]

Fisherman's/hunters taste buds. Stuff taste good when you catch it yourself combine that with his heritage where they eat things like this and he just has a different palate than a lot of us but you know his culinary skills are on point.

[@motgnay7065]

@@kjb21161 That chili oil is pretty average when it come to your vareity of chili oil out there, I think there's better brand honestly or recipe out there, and the pickle kelp in which he seem to like, I wasn't a big fan of.

[@debranewcombe8153]

Is it just me that noticed Jocelyn didn't partake in the beer? I don't think I've ever seen that. Jocelyn, are you feeling under the weather?

[@CytoplasmicGoo]

I was screaming at the screen, "don't forget the daikon and carrots!" while you were assembling it. Glad Jocelyn swooped in to save the day. Eating Bánh mì without the pickled stuff would've been criminal. Also, I would've put in kewpie in there as well.

[@joshuabenedictos9440]

Taku & Jocelyn, your videos have been fire lately. I feel like you’ve been a lot more comfortable in front of the camera and talking to the audience. Makes me feel like I’m actually there on your awesome adventures. Also, your vids really highlight your guys’ personalities, which we all grew to love. Looking forward to your 2023 videos and adventures.

[@bigdaddy8991]

Gotta Love Taku Tuesday 😎

[@timemachine7828]

You earned that smoked beast-ling!! Fish death caught, smoked and eaten by Taku and Jocelyn! Thank you the Greenling 🐟

[@Taleton]

Head is the best peace of almost any fish... Greetings from Greece

[@yotamaster09]

This is exactly why I follow you. Don't get me wrong, I love your salmon/halibut/whatever fillets and more "normal" cooking but the off the cuff more wild recipes are amazing. Love it man. I'll have to keep the heads next time we hook up with a lingcod. Great video Taku

[@peterfuchs4596]

Right on . But we better shut up ( me) as keep it to those who in da know. Octopus is cheap too from Korea and marinated and quick grill JC heaven. I want to catch one of those giant red ones from PNW but shit you need a spotter as they can take you. Nice sharp knife and carve em to a core body . Legs grow back! Sustainable. Japanese have the most amazing cuisine ideas. In the mood for some fugu and champagne and sushi rice like now. Or let's make that warm sake. You see those todie puffers you can eat in west Florida? Not toxic and skin the drum in 10 seconds. I'm down! Red snapper from Kiribati. Fat reds . Ok time for dinner

[@Opaleye]

That is an interesting way to cook it! Nice banh mi at the end as well! Another great video!

[@Magpie7681]

I love how nothing went to waste. It looks delicious. Bet that smoked roe would be good on a charcuterie board.

[@josetellez1803]

Literally just sitting down and you post 😊😊

[@gzeppe4671]

Joselyn keepin it 100 in the nicest way possible

[@huntingwhileblack5706]

This was incredible! One of my favorite episodes you’ve done.

[@RH-cl1wn]

Taku is a creative genius

[@napoleonwilkie4985]

I have a renewed appreciation for the throw away parts and including the skin. Taku you rock brother...peace my friend

[@bullsh1t736]

16:29 Strong fish favor means no good.

[@motgnay7065]

Jocelyn nail it, with the roe and liver pate combo is overpowering. I think Taku has a very refine or advance taste bud that take time to aquire for your casual non-fish or seafood eater. I eat shrimp, fish if cook certain way, muscle, clams, etc. I do not like pickle kelp which taku seem to be a big fan of 😅.

[@samanthameger9274]

Wow Jocelyn! Your face says it all! My kids actually went back to count all the cut scenes lol! And remember don’t waste your food!

[@vicenteestevez4564]

I love you videos amigo I'm glad you use everything from this beautiful fish

[@rippinglines3264]

You forgot to mention the two you dropped from the gaff. Lol. Love your work mate. Your fishing is only surpassed by you cooking skills.

[@physicsfan314]

As he was dissecting the head and just kept eating it all... I'm like bro, you won't have any left for your sandwiches! Haha.

[@deanfowler7028]

Love Tuesday epic job

[@stellaash8753]

That collar I could almost taste through the screen. Well done on the smoke. Jocelyn enjoying water and not beer? 😋😋😋

[@tygeray]

Man, that looks delicious! I actually thought you forgot about the pate but lucky Jocelyn reminded you. 😆

[@litohipo]

I have watched all of your videos, and this is the meal I want to taste the most.

[@gradybrowning3976]

That looks delicious Taku, I love to smoke fish and smoke big grouper heads and they are delicious! Love the Roe too!

[@PC-bd3uh]

tako going freak mode on this episode. more freak mode cooking, nice job!

[@SaltySook]

The color that you achieved on the head and roe are gorgeous.

[@nathancook2272]

Oh my gosh that all looks amazing. Just wish I could taste it or even just smell it. I love every Tuesday looking forward to see what your going to do next.

[@johnm.ratliff6880]

love to see that he uses as much of the fish as possible

[@adamsterger8150]

I absolutely love your content brother. Good stuff!

[@LT11859]

I tried making your Japanese crab cake recipe and everyone loved it . Next time I catch a ling I’m going to try that too!

[@jopunyao]

I made the your crab cake recipe as well for christmas and they said it was the best they've ever had! Thanks for the recipe Taku!

[@Hook2Cook]

Definitely going to try that with the lingcod head!

[@GobyTSB]

the smile on your face when you tried it is the absolute best!! happy new years to you and jocelyn!

[@MarvelousMarvFishingForLife]

You got a true "Die Hard" couple right here!

[@ceesay3842]

yo taku I’m sure that I can say I watched all your videos published on this channel

[@dixontweenerlegs4867]

Our takuuuu! Be safe always

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Lmao joselyn said “nah I’m cool, ima eat these veggies though” 😂💀

[@Bmwqxtmop]

Love the creativity!

[@904Fishing]

Just wanted to say you strive to make me cook better and record it for my channel so thank you for that Taku!

[@lorale8095]

The Roe looks delicious especially with sauce or something to cut the fishiness

[@obozomustgo5449]

Taku, that pate looks great. Try shaving some truffles into it next time. That may take it to another level.

[@cyconway6222]

I had to stop when that sandwich was getting put together that was absolute next leve

[@billydaoheuang5137]

I noticed Taku forgot to put the pickled veggies, I’m glad Jocelyn said something haha

[@NWforager]

i Love the Blue Sashimi 💙💙

[@mickeybartlett1274]

My sisters would not go any where near you. I on the other hand am drooling. That looks real good.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I think you took that cod preparation to the next level. You are definitely a culinary genius. That sandwich looks outstanding. I hope you have a Happy New Year. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn. 👍👍✌️#TakuTuesday

Making a meatloaf dinner for my family while watching this, love you Taku! been here since 40K :')

[@katrinathinks]

aww so precious

[@fedupwithem6208]

I always get funny looks when people see me buying salmon heads at the grocery store, but that's because those people don't know what they're missing. That looks like some really good head!

[@Photojouralist123]

The best part is the head, and here in Malaysia we have huge snapper head called "Fish head" curry its amazing but all the white folks get disgusted.

[@larrydood6344]

I love head🙌🏻

[@vaneisys]

Can't skip out on some good head😍

[@deathntaco]

@@Photojouralist123 yep, i know lots of people that travel to SEA for some good cheap head

[@alniques]

Nothing like driving it home fresh from the store, let’s call it road head

[@twilightraven1232]

I'm surprised Jocelyn didn't partake in the beer?

[@KageZulu]

I thought I might be the only one that noticed that… Mini “Jaku”? 🤫

[@edenferriss768]

I didn't know to rinse daikon. Always thought I was buying the wrong variety. Thank you for that knowledge!

[@HH-xf9il]

Joselyn diplomatically eating the cucumbers :D

[@jasonle4192]

You made a ca banh mi on another level. Totally fresh. Good job Taku. And people knocking on your girl not liking it……. Silly.

[@sandrapereda1764]

I think joselyn (sorry if I misspelled your name), maybe needed the kewpi and maybe the traditional Vietnamese sauce 😘😁. For me some strong fish flavor is too much without something to cut the fishyness. Love you both 🥰

[@2ovd2]

Looks good as always!!!

[@joshuamize7303]

I appreciate your hard work dude! Keep it up.

[@christianryan1970]

We love tipsy taku tastings! More content like this papa 👍🏼👍🏼

[@fadedchannel]

I must admit, I haven't had good head in a long time. 🤣😂 Love you brother!

[@elvergia3714]

I watched your shark encounter video bro and you got some balls cause I would have been out there faster then a bullet...but knowing you there would have been some badass fish tacos or shark enchiladas or some Japanese cuisine you just didn't have the equipment to get it that time...much love bro🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@gymz4065]

definitely good beer food!

[@SoCalSpearo]

Had beautiful roe sacks from a well-bled, 40 lb yellowtail this past spring that I gave away because I was afraid of mispreparing them. Have this video bookmarked and will give this recipe a rip the next time. Thank you!

[@stanley2903]

I grew up in SF eating Golden Eye rockfish heads. They were cheap back in the day and meaty and tasty.

[@raulcardona3282]

Jocelyn Just like me foreals 😂 when we dont like something we still try to make a dent in it. 😂

[@dalekato1421]

Wow! That’s a mean looking fish!

[@Im0utlaw]

RIP the 2 ling's you gaffed and lost in the last video lol

[@thelinecook]

Dude this was awesome the way you prepared the this meal with all those different parts. Really amazing stuff Taku. It was like charcuterie of the sea. Such a good idea with the pate. I used to make a mean chicken & duck liver mousse at my last job. I’m curious to try with fish liver now!!

[@mikegrinsell1979]

Looks tasty!! I dream of doing this stuff but I'm to old and broken to get out there.

[@Iroxinping]

I love Taku I live for Taku Tuesdays.

[@thasco]

Nice. was looking forward to what you did for eats with the Lingcod. Congrats on that monster being your PB..

[@AaronSprague1]

With the initial high temperature cycle you may have put the head in to early. Pellet smokers will typically start out really high and then come down to temp for that lower smoke temp. Good stuff man thanks for the content.

[@richarda.valdes1197]

Nothing better than a !lingcod. Great catch on the light rod just make sure not to try to take out the hook by hand.

[@marcelog.2916]

Super yummy man...omg....drooling here

[@Outdoorsygrace]

Excited🎉❤ happy newyear to you and joselyn💕

[@jeffreylor4383]

I know that looks good 😋😋👍

[@ifyouvemadeitthisfarcongra7701]

after I landed a nice calico in the deep kelp off Carpinteria a couple years ago, a 15' white came up and circled my kayak. she swam off towards a commercial dive boat a couple hundred yards away and I scooted into some thick kelp...no other calico tasted as good as that one!!!

[@titogreggy]

That looks awesome

[@yanjijay6752]

Taku Tuesday 😋🤤 delicious foods as always

[@dennyclawson4889]

Great video. Some of your condiments are not known to many people like myself. I suggest doing a video of what are some of your favorites.

[@c0dy85]

I once got my mom to make fish head soup for us when my Preschool teacher came over, its literally the only thing I kind of remember from Preschool.

[@jaykinersly5142]

Nice Video Taku....I give you a 9 on the Taku Beer Chug Meter...Nice Job

[@outdoorsfishingdream]

Leeetsss goooo!! Man u really inspired me to do more catch and cook!! I hope to do a sushi style soon!! ❤🎉 Is there a list of fish what fish to sushi and what not?

[@spencerwesley3787]

Looks really good

[@prasartpongpet]

Loved when you used your pellet smoker, would be nice to see you use it more! You made me super hungry ❤

[@bradliston8990]

Man, if I ever get caught and harvested by another species I only hope they would take the time and care that you did for this fish. Well done, sir.

[@toanoi]

I don't really like fish head, but yours looks delicious! Great job!

[@omehk]

what beer is Taku drinking? Looks Good

[@josephkocourek1230]

This is the nastiest vid I have ever seen of yours! Love it.

That looked BANG'N

I’m in the SF area, and just curious where you got the bread for the banh mi? That looks incredible.

[@AndyYinTube]

Haha that's weird. Joselyn isn't having a drink? ;)

[@konglee4468]

The roof of my mouth hurts hearing every bite of the bahn mi lol.

[@1976DannyG]

Greetings from Thornton Colorado! I could totally get behind that sandwich. I like different and this certainly is. I am white and grew up with mostly Asian families in California and have eaten things I never thought I would. I learned how to eat…..really eat head to tail. The baguette was also the star by the looks and sound of it! Nice job! What’s next?

[@daltonwalker734]

that roe recipe seems good for musubi

[@hm5eva779]

Big fan. First time commenter. Have you done any videos showing how to remove the gills? After one you did a long time ago cooking a ling head on a campfire I’ve tried it a few times, and I really struggle taking the gills off. Really appreciate your videos. It really has been inspiring, on top of just being very fun to watch.

[@broomstickcowgirl]

I love how you utilized that whole ling you caught but I gotta be honest that liver and blood filled roe looked very unappetizing. Mad kudos to Joselyn for trying it.
