The TRUTH about this TOXIC Fish…Catch Clean Cook (Barracuda)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Today we are doing some drift fishing out of Hillsboro Inlet, Fl. Our goal was to drift with live goggle eye as bait, do some jigging and bottom fishing while on the drift. I decided to harvest a barracuda for dinner to show people these fish are in fact delicious and safe to eat. Barracuda often get a bad wrap as being sickly fish that can spread disease, but this is simply not true!

This is my. first time seeing your channel. The fishing segment was great. I was married 59 plus years. My wife never went fishing with me. What a blessing to have that connection with fishing. The cooking segment was fantastic. I've caught barracuda in Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean and Southern California. I never have eaten one. I will try the next one. Great recipe. At 81 I'm leaving on a travel adventure in a small motor home visiting family and friends and fishing around the country. Sorry to be so long winded. Looking forward to seeing your posts. Grandpa Jack
What I like about you guys is the no BS wholesomeness. And you know how to catch, clean and cook my favorite food. Great job!
Love that you guys support ,the life of the fish . Showing more people how to vent a fish is great .
Barracudas are awesome fish. I’ve had them on the dinner table before great meat. We use to keep the smaller ones for the table.
Here in Barbados that's not trash fish we love it here
Cheers from Florida
As a father of four boys who is eager to open the world of fishing up to them, THIS video encompasses that family value that fishing can harbor.
Good catch, good eats, great time!
Cheers to you and yours from Miami!
I'm always impressed how no matter what species you catch, you make quick work of them on the fillet table!
It is a pleasure to watch you and Brooke fish and cook. Here in California the barracuda do not have Ciguatera and do not grow as large. It is delicious to eat but you must not freeze them. It makes the flesh mushy and stringy. If you want the best flavor and texture, cook the same day on the grill or fried. Truly one of the best tasting fish here. Totally underrated. We use iron (Tady lures and such) and live bait to get them but iron isthe best since they can't fray the line. Thanks for the video.
In Aruba we LOVE Barracuda !! We typically cut them in " mochi " which means in steaks. Then load them with spices and butter and grill them. Delicious !!
Vic and brookie seems like some of the best down to earth people. also his cooking skills are insane. I wonder if he could make a hardhead catfish taste good
barracuda is great on the table. I live in Belize and the locals are amused that folks in the states don't eat them
Ive been lucky enough to fish salt for a midwest city boy quite a bit. I remember one trip off Mexico when we caught barracuda one after another. The boat had a ball and I'm glad to see the fishery protected now.
Ur correct 💯. Google eye everything eats them. Go on a tournament a dozen are more. They are really worth it.
When you gonna make it official with Brooke Vic? She's a keeper bud..
They are already married
I agree vic marry her
Hopefully this year !
@@LandsharkOutdoors You are a beautiful couple. Blessings for a happy and prosperous life together.
She's a keeper because they're not married. Mine was a keeper until we got married.
I thought in Florida you have to use a descending rig to send the fish back down , Thought venting them was no longer allowed.
I appreciated the tips you shared on how to improve my own fishing skills.
We used to go out before dawn just at the Boca inlet near the buoy and cast net for goggle eyes. We'd get 1 or 2 dozen in the net and once the sun came up they were gone. Out we go & look for a weed line or birds.. Best bait fish ever!
Love your guys channel the collaboration with Outdoor Chef life was epic hopefully you guys can get together again have a great 2023 fishing season
Awesome catch and cook!!! You guys make the best videos!!! Thanks for taking us on the ride!!
Thank you so much!
If ever you're in Texas and you wanna do a Flounder gigging video let me know; I know some really good spots. Always a pleasure watching your videos,... especially when you catch a trash fish and turn it into a gourmet meal, it looks amazing!
I was told BY A DOCTOR who loves to fish locally (south Florida) that it is just as risky to eat large grouper and snapper when it comes to the cigutera toxin. It can effect any predatory reef fish.
Exactly!
I fished years ago in Belize, caught a HUGE (fisherman huge) Barracuda on the troll. Me being from Florida I was like "heck no I dont want to eat that" well captain kept it and guess what, no ice no nothing, just wrapped it in a towel for a few hours while we got to the next island. When we got there a restaurant chef (friend of captain) cooked it up and they shared it with the whole restaurant. I certainly ate it and it was GOOD! Guess what, nobody died but they all enjoyed a free fish meal in Caye caulker. So yeah Barracuda stinks but good to eat. Sure the smaller ones are better. Great vids man.
I second that, cheese and fish absolutely works, especially with the crab eaters. Way to turn that cuda into something special!
no cows in the ocean.
Thanks for cheering me up Vic, You probably don't even know what you do for some people.
That is the best way to rig a baitfish! Awesome tips. Everything was explained so well, if someone follows your instructions they will catch fish. Great information about Ciguatera. We were vacationing in the Bahamas, on Exuma island. The locals cooked at ate the Barracudas. I don't know if they know about the disease or they don't have to worry about it on that island. You are doing an awesome job with your fishing channel!
Where I live the economy is tourism based and the reefs get punished for it. Baracuda's near shore or especially near river mouths we never eat, baracuda's caught far outside the shoreline are safe to eat but you gotta have a boat or kayak to really commit to getting those.
Thank you for watching
@@ziggybender9125 Thank you for the info. It would be useful to develop a test kit to see if the fish is safe for human consumption. I've heard that if you cut a piece of the fish and put it outside and the bugs and ants eat it, it is safe to eat. It would be better to have an accurate test. Generally I stay away from eating Barracudas.
Great video, I haven't commented in a while, but I watch all you do. The Barracuda is a delicious fish with a wide range of habitat. Glad to see it given it's due in the kitchen. Keep up the good work.
Looks delicious I'm excited for other things planned for this year
I love these two. I've always wanted to try that fish.. It's bucket list time!!
Thank you so much!
We have plenty of Goggle Eyes in Maldives. Would love to see an episode in Maldives.
OMGG I just started watching this and I am addicted I love fish and I can see you do to
Barry is actually the sweetest fish we love it in the Bahamas but many are afraid to get food poisoning.
Wahoo, Mahi, Cuda my 3 favorite fish.
Cuda's are a staple here in Barbados, to the point they are over fished. We just don't eat them over 15lbs(not that you find many that size now), and avoid raw(ceviche, sushi/ sashimi)
How do you leave Grouper off that list?
We dont get a lot of groupers here especially the larger variety, however strawberry grouper is fantastic up there with my favs, just not super common anymore.
you can also use the fly method which is placing the filet on a open surface that flies can get too and if flies land on it you can eat it if they don't do not eat it
Catch gogs on the beach to from 4 to sun up
I have only caught one cuda that was about 2 1/2 inches and never eaten one. Love the videos vik, they are fun to watch and like no other channel.
Vic, do you drink Landshark beer? Probably should see if they could be a sponsor of the channel.
As a Jamaica 1 of my favorite fish is barracuda, my favorite way of cook it is to fry it and cook down with ketchup are cook it escovitch style.
Can I just say you two are an amazing couple? I subscribe to and watch both channels and am never disappointed. You have tbis infectious synergy together that, as a married man, I love to see (and am a little jealous of). Thank you both! 🤙🏼
Thank you so much!
Hi Victor and Brooke I wanna say awesome catch clean and cook. And I wanna say Victor and Brook you guys have a wonderful demeanor and attitude humble. It's something that you don't find every day keep rocking keep safe and be inspired.
This was such a great follow along video. 1st time here - thank you.
That's one fish I've never tried yet You made it look good I love watching you and Brooks video's Thanks for sharing
When I was crewing on a charter yacht down island we caught a barracuda trolling. The Grenadian cook made a present of it to the customs guys in Antigua. And man--those customs guys got pretty damned sick! Got to know where barracuda are safe and where they are not!
Yo from your friends in San Diego California USA 🇺🇸
Thank you for the new content! I found your Channel about a Month ago and can’t stop watching!
Welcome aboard!
@@LandsharkOutdoors Thank you! I’ve been fishing since a kid. Took a break when Covid hit. Since I started watching your Videos it sparked my Love to Fish again! Now me and my kids are outdoors loving it! Thank you!
We always bled our our barracuda and then scrubbed them with lemon juice and salt before we put them in the cooler. It kind of helps the smell. But bleed them, scrub them, then chill them under ice. Otherwise my mom wouldn't clean them.
First comment. Just love your videos. You guys are inspirational and a tonic to a landlocked bloke. I caught a Barracuda on a hand line in Venezuela a few years ago. Made a ceviche, a grill, and a fried option from that beautiful fish. Stay well you lovely people. X
Thank you so much for watching
Learned much from you about baracuda. We don't have them in the middle Chesapeake Bay. When I lived on St. Croix...I'd not eat many reef fish because of possibility of cigatera.
Love both your & Brooke's channels!
Alan
In the Caribbean the islanders of Honduras take a little chunk of barracuda and put it on an ant hill. If the ants eat it the meats good and if not the meats bad. The islanders absolutely love barracudas!!!
Thanks for sharing good luck next time ⏲️👍
I'm from the carribbean Trinidad and Tobago to be exact and I have never tried barracuda before I'm looking forward to trying it
thx for the low down on barracudas!
Dude, you are on par with what us boomers would call a TV show! Seriously though, your production quality is up there with anything else out there. You are really crushing it!
I'm one of the rare unlucky ones that got ciguatera poisoning in the Keys several years ago from a large cuda. While it's extremely rare, it does happen. The fish I had was fairly large and had been gill hooked. It wasn't going to survive so I figured I'd filet it for the grill. I was fully aware of ciguatera and knew of the risks but I had never had a problem with any fish in FL before and didn't even think twice about it. When it hit, I knew exactly what it was. The feeling of my lips and hands going numb/tingly was pretty scary. The fatigue and nausea was extreme and I had ridiculously heavy night sweats for almost a week. A pretty horrible experience all around. But, although I paid the price on that particular fish, I've eaten cuda since then....just the smaller ones, and from different areas. So, just be aware and ask locals about certain reefs known for cig and it might just spare you some serious misery.
Never had barracuda. I was surprised at how the meat looked. We do black sea bass, grouper and some others on the regular at my house. That barracuda could go on the menu if I could find me some.
Love the Rod with the Purple reel seat and Wrap! Nice looking stick.
a few months ago my dad and i decided to take a 2 day trip in bimini and over the night at about 200 ft we caught so many goggle eyes and used them for sail and mahi bait
10$ a fish.... Nope not for me... That's rich people bait. That bait more than gas lol
ALL fish go for them though !
@@keithscudder7136 i know. They good bait but not worth paying all that money for.
Hillsboro inlet been out of that inlet many a day and night and caught some incredible action off Snook, Snappers, Drums,cudas and of course shark's are always in the way lol,tight line's and great video
Vic!!!
Thanks for talking about the Bahamas that's where I'm from been eating barracuda all my life one of my favorite fish of the sea
well i am from cuba and brother barracuda we call picua i loved to eat that fish,and about ciguatera i think is the heat and they eat some grass.that is what people said,now about this bait you fish with i always around 5am to 7pm in 10 to 20 feet.really good video like always.
Awesome show! Enjoyed it. Your show is one of the best. Love the drone shots too. Your cameraman is excellent. Please invite him to the South Florida Drone Meetup in Jensen Beach on April 1, 2023 too.
I would like to see a video of you guys doing a Crappie catch, clean & cook.
I live in europe and we have a different type of barracuda here and that is one of the most delicious fish you can eat out here, I love them, never heard of them being toxic or anything
That red grouper sort of looked like calico bass that we have here in Southern Cali
In Puerto Rico I ate small ones and they taste good similar to king mackerel, medium or large ones are catch and release.
Thanks again for such an enjoyable video...
Thank you so much!
been eating cuda my whole life in deerfield, theyre easily one of my favorite fish to eat. People are comin around to it now, so much so they put slot limits on em!
Nice one bro it’s always nice watching you guys . When you guys coming to Jamaica my friend
Now I know where the name Landshark Outdoors came from. Great beer.
it is delicious.
in the Med Sea we get cudas without scales. I noticed when you were filleting the fish there are typical scales. Interesting...probably because they have a different need for protecting against attacks in the waters of Florida(?),...perhaps, so they evolved scales for this purpose.
You guys have the best fishing channels on TH-cam
Love how your drinking Landshark when that is your TH-cam name. Maybe they can be a sponsor lol. Plus absolutely love LandShark
Grew up in the Florida Keys and we ate the small ones caught in the in shores area, We would troll along the mangroves and catch them and take them home and Mom would gake a great meal.
I thought the rule with barracuda is don't eat them unless caught in a month with the letter "R"( advisory suggesting don't eat if caught May through August).
This is a game changing video with some very important facts, well done.
I watched you release the gas by poking a hole in the side of the fish but in California we use a devise that sends them back down to depth and then pull the line and it releases them and all of the party boats fishing rockfish are required to have them to help with releasing the fish and have a very good success rate lowering them back down to the bottom without any damage.
Welp going Cuda fishing now
venting device interesting we use release weights here (heavy sinker)
Good job on the barracuda recipe. Too bad you don't have a Honokohau Harbor like Kona. We've had a goggle eye (akule) school at the entrance for years. You can catch them all day long with lure or bait. Caught 101 adults one day with "bamboo" pole and lure. Hundreds in school, once scuba underneath it. The school goes out at night. Also, Keauhou harbor had baby akule school {halalu}. One afternoon had 300 pcs on squid bait & "bamboo" pole. Giant trevally also eating them.Tight lines.
wow sounds like a cool spot
@@LandsharkOutdoors There's videos of huge schools outside Kailua bay. We catch then at night too, when targeting speedos [opelu]. 50 fathoms, hand line.
Thanks for teaching us about Florida’s ecosystem!
A slow day fishing is always better than any day doing anything else. Nice. I've been eating Cudas all my life. I remember as a small child when a lot of days that's all we had in Bermuda , that's where we lived till I was 5 because Dad was stationed there in the Air Force, that it was them and Grunts. To this day I will eat a grunt over any other fish.
Nice video kids! Keep 'em coming!
Grunts are amazingly tasting indeed. I fry then and eat with fry bakes!
Vic, do you own a descending device? Here in Washington state you would be getting a call and probable ticket from WDFW for puncturing a fish to release the barotrauma gas. The descending device quickly brings the fish back to the bottom where it can equalize naturally..
Brevard barrier reef; murky water, has Ciguatera, because I ate Nurse shark meat; very fresh, and got diarrhea and mild paralasyse. I heard they used to dynamite Barracuda holes in the past.
Are you guys using a new camera? Picture looks much more vibrant! Love the content!!
Try smoking it like albacore it comes out super super awesome. I also found out that if you put it on ice the meat stays firmer. Love your show.
Awesome footage of you guys thanks for inspiring me to start my own channel keep up the awesome work!
I brought my boat to Pompano from Fort Myers on New Years. I think I ended up at your barracuda spot too. Lost 6 or 7 slow pitch jigs.
Going back down to Pompano from NJ for the first time in a year tomorrow-Monday…let’s see if I can make something happen
Good luck out there
Another Great Video 👍🏾
You inspired me to start my Catch and Cook TH-cam channel. Thanks for the inspiration 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
goggle eye fish is very tasty ❤️
We love it in the Caribbean 🇬🇩
We also call them jacks ❤️
Hope you are well. Watch out those stinker clips the big mackerel HIT them and cut you off. Especially when you on a big fishing. They make bubbles at speed
I was looking for a video explaining what toxins this fish carries and I couldn’t be happier with the results 💜💜
Ive eaten barracuda and enjoyed it. However, we didnt put in a fraction of the ingredients that you used, my mouth was watering. Aren't you only supposed to eat the smaller ones?
Crazy off of Naples when the buildings are that size your only in 20/30 feet
Eat it every visit to Mexico, have for years.. very tasty..
Hillsboro inlet :) i was there few days ago! if you will be around Keys (Key West) let me know, we will go fishing! like your videos!
You're talking facts I live in the Bahamas and you have a 50/50 chance of getting poison...I've never got poisoned but I've heard horror stories about it....sweetest meat ever but I always pray before I eat them lol
Amazing fishing 👍 beautiful place, strike big fish 🎣
Great Video. I'm going to try that recipe!
That's true. There are no trash fish just trash cooks. I was born and raised in the Caribbean and for a while we truly depended on the ocean for food. My mom would cook jack crevalle, even false albacore and tasted better than dolphin fish plates I buy at restaurants in Florida now.
I catch plenty of Barracuda here in the Philippines though I personally never ate one. The old men who hang out near the docks where I fish ask me for them when I do catch Barracuda. A few of them did get some ciguatera-like symptoms but they were alright after a few hours sleep when I asked them about it the next time I saw them. Maybe I'll try it next time, they did say it's quite delicious when cooked as Sinigang, a type of stew here in the Philippines with a sour and savory taste.
