Hey Taku… it’s Andrew from the beginning of your video… anytime you’re in Monterey you can come out. I’ll take you and whoever you’re with on me. Rockfish, halibut, squid, tuna, whatever we are able to fish for we can go. You’re a stand up guy and it was nice to talk to ya. Look forward to seeing you on the water. Tight lines….

[@jimmy2thymes916]

that compact butane stove is absolutely genius. Also, I've been a viewer for a few years now and your style of outdoor cooking really reminds me of the original New Scandinavian Cooking from PBS. And then I realized your outro music pays homage to him. Love it.

[@rizlaruler7404]

I know it’s always a good feeling when you get props from people you don’t know and respect your hard work. I want to give you your roses and say great job I love your content your the #1 fishing slash outdoor channel I watch also like Stay fishy channel

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Perfectly prepared squid. It's a tasty seafood. What's another bonus is that it's sustainable. I think that even chunks of halibut, or even mussels would be a great addition to that soup. That stove you have is pretty cool too. This was another awesome adventure. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn. 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

In CA, there are some other very sustainable choices (tho I love squid too): herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, sand dabs, sole. Skates and rays are fairly plentiful too. Taku always has great cooking techniques, which can make anything taste great.

[@greghelton4668]

This reminds of a childhood friend who relentlessly teased me about eating squid. One day I cooked up some calamari and he said it was his favorite dish. When I reminded him he hated “calamari” and he was shocked to find out calamari was squid. Jeez😂

[@INTROVERTCY]

Kayak Taku is the Taku I subscribed to years ago. I love it

[@EdwardBinanay]

Hey Taku. FYI. We were in Alaska on a cruise and bought your new Kelp Chili crisp product. The Canadian customers seized it when we returned from Vancouver to the US. They said it exceeded the ml. limits. Really bummed about it. I really wanted to taste it. Oh well.

[@Elurin]

Your squid soup reminds me of the soup I had when I taught in South Korea. It was the polar opposite of the masterpiece that you cooked, cheap and simple, but not too bad. We teachers ate our lunch with the kids so the food had to be economical. The squid soup was pretty much a red chili pepper broth with some squid tentacles.

[@davidlee6648]

Firebox stove usage was not the crossover I expected! I love his content and I love yours too, chef!

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

Awesome vid!! I fixed my squid soup last night and UGHHH, I forgot my dried shiitake mushrooms!! Yep, it's always something that I forget too. I changed my recipe up a lil bit though, since I've won several of the "Pepper X" sauces from Smokin' Ed Currie. I added a couple tablespoons of his "Pepper X Slavic Plum" and that gave it a nice kick.

[@addicted2fishing119]

Squid 🦑, the no wait bait ‼️💪🏼💯

[@mscott976]

I live in the Pacific Northwest and love seafood. I think my favorite is squid. It not only tastes great but it is readily available and inexpensive!

[@davescheer5038]

The large squid or cuttle fish go for around $20-25 bucks the smaller cuttle fish are around $3 bucks each about 8” inch’s but just the tubes at our Asian grocery store, the ones you were catching are about I think $12 bucks a box , they are the same a bait here in Florida, deep fried tempura squid 👍🏼

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Calamari, or tempura fried seafood is awesome. Cheers!

[@jimgearing260]

Huge props for searing and cooking that squid perfectly over that flimsy contraption. Keep it coming chef!

Great video. Where did you get the cutting board from again? I think you mentioned it before. Thanks

[@MrUcario]

I don''t know what it is about your squid videos that is so satisfying! maybe its how you cook them? or maybe because the many ways you CAN eat them? or the way they are caught XD

I don't fish but I like watching Taku and other fishing channels, can you explain what's wrong with his fishing gear?

Taku! I hope one day you'll offer a sushi making class. All the ones available in SF are the cheap looking kind, where the rice is sticking to each other...can't see each individual grain - see I've learned a lot already from your videos. So interested in making nigiri sushi instead of your ordinary rolls. 🙏🏼 Please let me know if you ever consider in person classes.

I was wondering when this video will be out. wanted to know if you caught halibut or not. I have the same name as your brother as you told me. I was with my daughter on 2 kayaks if you remember 🙂 (we launched at the same time, we were in the background at the beginning of the video.) we only caught 1 squid.. skunked haha

[@Hanseshadow]

Really cool. I moved to California earlier this year and lived there for a couple months. I didn't have the required documentation to get a fishing license, which I regret. I wanted to go fishing so badly and catch a Lingcod. I did visit a dock, which you can fish from without a license, but I was unsure of the Laguna Beach area. I watch your channel and another (which you have collab'd with in the past - how I found your channel). I will say that your New Zealand fishing trip was very good. Also, I love squid. I use it as bait here in Texas (yes, I moved back to Texas after only 2 months). I expect to go shark fishing here in a few weeks (shore fishing...bait, cast, relax in a chair, and wait...lol). Excellent video! Take care!

[@xXpurplenurple007Xx]

Taku! How the heck do you find squid? Are you seeing them on the sonar or something? I live in the Puget Sound and I only get them here and there on the evenings off the pier. The only nights I can get them are nights when the seals aren't chasing them. I seem to not be able to locate any just going off the beach anywhere.

[@trex1448]

Taku you should try having a bottle of chogochujang. It's basically vinegar, gochujang, and sugar. Maybe a little sesame oil if you want to make it fancy. It makes any raw seafood taste greater especially the lighter low fat fish and seafood. Raw squid tastes amazing with it...

[@dennistani1986]

Taku, nice squid catch! Also that squid your sister caught was huge, never seen a squid that big!

[@Steelhead23]
