Sorry for not uploading new videos recently. I do plan on uploading new videos this summer, so please stay tuned. Thx for watching!

Thanks for your feedback. I actually got a grill for my boat, so definitely plan on cooking some crabs this season. Stay tuned!

Thank you!

The oysters in the bag are someone else's private property. They are usually planted by someone living on the water near the beach.

@@genjster but their trapped in a bag on the ground in a park

@@yo6687 similar to someone else's car being parked on a public road ... just because it's parked on a public road, doesn't mean you can take what's inside the car. Taking the oysters would be considered illegal poaching.

@genjster that's a little different though because these oysters are wild animals trapped in a man made bag on the ground in a public park

@@yo6687 the oyster seeds are actually purchased and then placed in the bag, so not really wild. But if you have any further questions, you should contact WDFW, since they are the government agency that enforces the applicable rules and regulations. Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, more videos coming this year.

The boat brand is Porta-Bote. The company is located in Canada, but they sell them at boat shows and ship them to the U.S.A. Depending on where you live, you might be able to find a used one from Craigslist or one of the other online marketplaces.

Yes, I agree! La Fondita is a great value and their meats are very good. If I lived closer to White Center, I would definitely be going there more often. The Best Roasted Corn Stand next door is also a bonus.

The oyster beds are fairly far out on the beach, so you can only reach them during low tides. The oyster beds cover a fairly large area, although a good portion of the bed are empty shells (the law requires you to leave the shells on the beach to help propagate future oysters). There's also a legal limit to how many oysters a person can harvest.

I'm not positive, but I believe they were Pacific Oysters. That's a common variety in Puget Sound.

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Hopefully you get nice weather while you are in Seattle. Lots of good eats!

@@genjster have y’all tried Maiz Molino? I’ve seen a few recommendations for it. My apologies if you already made a video about it. Haven’t had a chance to go through em yet.

@@ContrerasCorner Sorry, we've never been to Maiz Molino, but it looks good. Fyi ... a Mexican restaurant on my "next to try list" is Asadero, which is a Mexican steakhouse with 2 locations: Asadero Ballard in Seattle and Asadero Prime in Kent (about 20 miles south of Seattle). I've heard good things about their carne asada and wagyu tacos. Please note that Asadero is in the $$$ range, so it's more expensive than Maiz Molino. Ballard is a cute neighborhood with a very good Ballard Farmers Market on Sundays, and also the Ballard Locks (you can watch boats pass through the locks and it's one of Seattle's most popular free attractions -- just be sure to read the parking signs and pay for parking if required). Have fun while visiting Seattle!

We ended up visiting Snoqualmie Falls and in the town they had a really good Oaxacan restaurant (Caadxi Oaxac). If y’all ever make the drive there. We just ate the Mole and we did eat the Molina. They do have a spot at Pikes market as well , next door to the first Starbucks.

@@ContrerasCorner Thanks for the tip on Caadxi Oaxac ... the food looks good. Snoqualmie Falls is beautiful and the town of Snoqualmie is real cute with the trains and stores. How did you like Maiz Molina at Pike Place? Did you enjoy the food there?

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you!

Thanks for the update. I'm not sure why they aren't currently on the Too Good To Go app. It's possible the restaurant just decided to take a break from the app. It's too bad ... that was a great deal.

Thanks for your comment and subscribing! Always good to share location ... especially since there are so many great places to see in the PNW. Have fun and be safe!

Thank you!

Very nice market in the U-District. The Ballard Farmers Market is also nice and is bigger with more food options.

Lucky to have Shilshole Bay as your backyard. Beautiful views and great walks!

It was definitely a bit strange walking through Pacific Place and seeing a lot of the empty retail spaces. I heard there were plans to convert some of the retail spaces to office spaces, but not sure when that's going to happen. Would be nice to see more food vendors, since that tends to attract more people and creates a more lively atmosphere.

Thanks for your comment and subscribing! The udistrict farmers market is great.

Yes, and the crabs were delicious too! Thanks for your comment!

Yes, the tacos at Taqueria La Fondita are delicious! I went there again a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the meal. We also got a fruit cocktail from the roasted corn stand next door and that was also very good.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it has changed a lot in the past 10 years or so. Especially the food court areas and the addition of the grocery store (Seafood City).

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Just got a new (old) boat, so planning on new videos for next year.

Thanks for your comment. I like your idea of watching the boats blow in the wind. Might have to give that a try. 👍

Thanks for your comment. The cherry blossoms usually begin blooming in early March, and reach peak bloom around the 3rd week of March. However, depending on the weather, the peak bloom can occur earlier or later each year.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for your comment! Yes, crabs do fight in the cage sometimes. But they are usually too busy eating. 🤣 if there are a lot of crabs around, then soak times can be really short. Otherwise, you might have to increase soak time to an hour or more. The smaller crabs can fall out of the pot while pulling it up, but they are usually under the size limit anyways.

Thanks for your comment! It was really interesting to watch the crabs enter the pot w/ the GoPro. I was surprised to see how fast they entered.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the late reply. If you are still in town, you should try Cafe Allegro for coffee/expresso (located at 4214 University Way NE). It's a bit hidden, since the entrance is located in the alley between University Way NE and 15th Ave NE (between NE 42nd St and NE 43rd St). Cafe Allegro is Seattle's oldest expresso bar and they roast their own coffee.

Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the comment! Summer crabbing season just started, so hopefully get more crabs soon.

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's definitely surprising to see how fast the crabs find and enter the pots.

Thank you for your comment! Yes, the Too Good To Go app is great. Hopefully it continues to grow and do well. It's fun trying new things on the app. Of course, Theo Chocolate is one of our favorites!

Thank you!

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video. It's always exciting pulling up the pots to see what's inside.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! University Village is a very nice outdoor mall to walk around. Relaxing on a nice day.

Thank you for your kind words! I've never been to Italy, but I'm sure it's beautiful.
