Bass spearfishing UK & how to get perfect crispy skin fish!

- With restrictions easing and a small weather window I decided to go for a solo shore dive on the south coast of England. Despite the visibility there was quite a lot of life about including my target for the day - sea bass. The main reason I go spearfishing is to be able to have access to the best quality seafood available and I show you a favourite recipe I've been cooking of late. Crispy skin sea bass with salsa Verde on a bed of butter potato mash & charred asparagus. Wine mentioned in the video - www.waitrose.c...

Some of the above are affiliate links, meaning Amazon will kick a small percentage back to me if you purchase something through the link, you don’t even have to buy any of the listen products just through the link is enough. It doesn't cost you anything but helps me in a small way to keep making videos.
Just wanted to mention that every boat in British open water has to stay 90m away from a diver below buoy, so next time a fisherman comes this close to your buoy tell him guys off.
Your cook part is as interesting as catch part, that is a hard thing to achieve! Good job
Thank you very much!
Great water conditions, it was like a lake.
A rare Sussex day, well rare that I wasn't working.
Daniel, I know some people dislike what you are doing but for me its the most sustainable way to harvest fish! Keep going, I am amazed by your videos!
Dan, I like that you shore dive. I think it increases our sport by letting others know a boat is not a must, which means affordable for pretty much everyone. I believe showing the beach cleaning and suiting up, etc, helps people see that they can afford it to. Good onya.
I never want spearfishing to be perceived as an activity only the privileged and wealthy can afford. Shore diving is the purest form and always will be.
Μade me want to eat that bass!!!
Living the life mate!
You always want to eat bass Dimos 🤣
@@DanielMann I just ate man and you made me hungry again!
Keep em coming!
You should start a patreon, your videos are so high quality that I would definetily consider it
no
Nick Moore yes
@@nickmoore9896 dont be racist
I know
He should start a patreon
Dan Dan Dan's the man, he can cure my bordem when no one else can!
@Dionysus lol, I'm not chasing likes but cheers anyway
This is actually one of my favourite videos of yours yet. Well edited and interesting content
Your 100K subscribers have been well-earned. I have been watching you since I got into spearfishing, and you made an arcane, hard-to-decipher sport accessible for me. Since the first time I got into the water just for the love of being in the water, to bringing home food regularly (and responsibly), I owe much of where I am today because of you.
Say hi, if you ever swing by the West Coast of Canada!
Looks epic me and Sam are going to try and make this tonight with Mu!
You should give that European Sea Bass a nice French touch with a similar method of cooking but once its browned on one side you finish it off in a nice dill cream sauce on a bed a shallots. It goes great with our Striped Bass on the western side of the Atlantic.
Cracking video as usual Dan. Fantastic editing skills, I really enjoyed the the opening drone shot with the Ae titles and the food looked amazing 👌
My macbook did not enjoy rendering said 4K opening titles 😫 Watched your bass video the other day and started questioning whether to put this one out as you had done skin on with asparagus on the side! Certainly did not mean to do the same video, actually filmed this at the start of June I swear 😆
@@DanielMann Yeah I can imagine it took ages. Like you said to other day, I wouldn't think twice about it. Your content is great to watch and everyone can learn a lot from you. Keep them coming is all I can say 🎥
This was awesome. Can’t wait for the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent work dude. Our coastline has so much to offer, and mullet caught in open water has can be fantastic eating. Keep up your good work 👏 👍
Cheers Steve 🙌
There are a lot of old school "rules" in the fish gathering and eating world that should be disregarded. Eating fish is like hunting fish - you don't know, if you don't go (and eat it).
I spearfish in the Peloponnese. I really enjoy your obvious enjoyment in what you do.
Dan you've earnt every single one of those subscribes fella, you're a breath of fresh air with a great deal of talent and editing skills to boot.
Cheers Pierre, very kind of you 🙌
Nice to see that spearfishing where ever you are, will be just as much fun. Thanks for the video.
Just shot my first Bass/first ever fish with a hand spear down here on the Isle of Wight, and came right back here for that incredible crispy skin recipe! Cheers for being such an inspo Dan!!👏🏻
Well done on the first bass 💪
Thank you Daniel for sharing.very good video.the recipe,the music and the secrets!!!!we all share the same pasion.keep on diving and good dives my friend.
Greetings from mayorca.
Daniel Mann the best Spearo TH-camr 💙
Freshwater smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing just opened here yesterday! It was raining, it was cold, and the visibility was barely longer than the length of my gun, but goodness it was fun! I took three bass and two perch and I wish I had seen this recipe when I was filleting them last night or I would have left the skin on! Phenomenal work as usual!
Another great video Daniel. Big congrats on the 100,000 subscribers. A great inspiration and well deserved. Keep them coming.
Cheers Barret, I'm sure some of the subscribers came thanks to your marbled & roving coral trout footage you licensed to me for free 😉 Those green turtles in your last video were mesmerising, I've never seen one on dry land.
Daniel Mann 😂Must have been or all the other fish in that mission of a video. I know how much work that must have taken. Glad I had a clip in it.
Turtles rock.... just don’t ride the turtles...😂
I just shot my first lake bass last week with my homemade speargun! I was so happy!
What lake?
Rick Knight it’s a really small lake in Washington US you’ve probably never heard of it
Did you find plans online, or was it a fully homemade one?
Andor Petrei I’m proud to say I designed it myself, I just picked up some wood and started shaping it and working on it.
oh wow well done you murdered a fish!!!!!
your recipe and menu is so overwhelming.. Like a five star hotel. happy to be one of your subscribers.. I learn a lot from your channel.. my idol in spearfishing and a high class chef. yeah...
Another awesome vid mate. Love how you show to cook your catch at the end. My favourite spearfisher to watch.
Another great video, love the cooking tips. Your like a closet chef . I wish we could spearfish where I live 🙁Did get called a superhero by a young lady she had lost control of her drown dropping in in the lake near where I was diving I found it in 10 m of water lol Anyway thank you, you helped us through the lock down entertaining us. Keep them coming
Just a kid from the Philippines who's been inspired by your videos to get into this sport. However night diving spearfishing is the common spearfishing here in our place. God bless sir!
I really enjoy your video's, I've watched probably 6 or 7 now and working my way through your back catalogue 😀 I'm just starting out this summer and am learning loads from your video's ( and every time I go diving)
Ive been watching your channel for about 2.5 years now and nothing gets me more excited then watching your new and old videos! Your a true talent and an inspiration to watch keep up the great work mate keen for the next one! Watching from north queensland!
Cheers William!
I have seen spearfishing videos from loads of other channels and I can honestly say yours is the best. Best editing and the commentating over your videos and telling a story makes the video quality so good.
PS : Maybe you should start your own merch.
Always look forward to your videos! The perfect way to film and edit!
Loving the videos,working my way through your library, fantastic tips,love the break down.
What a great recipe:). I will try that with the hake, which also have very tasty skin. Thank you for the entertainment, well deserved 100k. Big hug and all the best from Norway👍
Nice vid . Here in Cornwall the conditions are perfect 👌🏼
Completely blown out here since last Friday. Won't be diving locally for a week at this rate. South-westerly is a killer.
Oscar animals is it
Not where I am 🤣
I've always wondered if you're a vegetarian or not ??
Rosskill Time where are you?
Elton Gordon he eats fish so he can’t be 🤦🏻♂️
High quality of content in this video, thank you Daniel
Love your content! Tip: You can check the oil with an wooden spoon. If little bubbles build up around the spoon in the oil, its hot enough. Maybe a more convenient option than saliva.
hahaha 👍👍👍
Just cooked this seabass recipe for me and my family. Absolutely bloody Bonza mate!
Go for crispy skin for most of my fish but this will bring it to another level. cheers kid
Thank you for your videos. It really a pleasure to look, while sitting in the office and waiting for the next trip to the sea to come.
I love your videos! I'm just starting to get intrested in spearfishing and I was wondering if you'd do a vid for absolute beginners, in most of your "beginner" videos you already use a lot of specific words which people who dont have a clue about spearfishing wont get. I'd imagine something like: How does spearfishing work, how long do you stay in the water in one session, what do you have to get sorted on a legal basis, what are the differences with spearfishing in lakes vs sea, what is the absolute minimum equipment, do you sell the fish, what is a bad gun what is a good one etc.
So perfect of a vid! Reminding us all that loads of fun can be had wherever you look for it. Really nice technical methods for the crispy skin. Thanks. Keep on making the most of it.
Your Editing never ceases to impress. Can't wait for you to hit your next milestones and hopefully make this a full-time gig!
this channel should have millions of subs. the quality of content is astonishing.
Another great vid! Those crabs were crazy I’ve never seen so many well at least for over here off the west coast of Florida. You cooked that fish to perfection it looked so delicious wow!!!
"Its easy, its shallow, its flat, there's so much diversity"...AND there are no sharks! Loving your vids - very entertaining and informative. Big up from North Cornwall - where you can surf AND spearfish...!
Love crispy skin fish, I do it a little differently, I don't score the skin to stop it curling, I sit a saucepan 3/4 full of water on the fillets as a weight to hold them flat for a couple minutes
Amazing as always Dan.thanx for the cooking tips mate
Every one of your videos keeps me up till the early hours of the morning. Professionalism quality and entertainment bar none.
Dive safely and make a lot more of videos.
That’s a great looking fish! What you said about the beauty of making content anywhere not just blue clear water is a great mentality! Part of the reason I have stuck and appreciated your channel so much is the passion for the spearfishing lifestyle. So it won’t matter if you’re in 5 foot vis or 100 foot vis, the passion makes the content easy to watch. Keep up the great work and congratulations on 100k subs
Thank you 🙌 There is no such thing as bad spearfishing!
I have to try this recipe out, looks bloody delicious, well done!
Michael Mann ! Been Watching for a bit, Great Work. Thank You.
Greetings from Norway!
I must say that your videos are really entartaining to watch, both with the spearfishing and the kitchen later on, makes the video complete!
Keep it up!
I really enjoy your cooking tutorials😁
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for cooking the fish at the end of the video hope you make more of these i loved it, the dish looked amazing had my mouth drooling :) thanks again and please keep the videos coming eh :)
Mr Mann you are by far the best spearfishing channel on TH-cam. You might not upload as often as some but when you do they're always spot on. Roll on 1m subs
Great spearfishing videos daniel..try this sauce with fresh lemon oregon an olive oil next time..greetings from greece.
Started following back during the Halibut videos. Keep up the awesome videos! Great fishing and great recipes.
That is going back a long way, I think I had 2000 subscribers when I put that video out!
Amazing fish, I've been here this channel since 2019. Still keeping it lit 💪🔥
Support from: 🇵🇭 Philippines
Your followers from Morocco🇲🇦
good luck bro
stacking greens atop of that smash potato to make a bed for the fish..this guy!
Not only do you catch the fish like a pro.. but you also are a great cook unlike some other creators. Keep up the good work as usual
Delicious :) Another thought for crispy skin is a light coat of mayo. Also have a look at Solidteknics pans - good Aussie gear for your kitchen.
Nice one Daniel, liked the recipe and the pebbly beaches really take me back to Blighty.
I don't mine the pebbly beaches, saves getting sand in your shoes and ears.
Absolutely love every video you make. Thank you for also sharing all your spearfishing knowledge with us. DAN you are the MAN🤙🤙🤙
Wow great presentation Dan
Great Video Daniel!!! Will try definitely the recipe next time...
from Daniel Mann to Jamie Oliver just in a few steps. Thanks for the cooking tips,i'll try too
So glad to see you getting so many subs, been watching you for a while. Was hoping for more videos but know its hard when you don't have tons of subs/views.
Loved the topknot, a really good sized one too!
Just started spearfishing up here in Scotland, so fun 😆. Great vids👍
Lovely place to dive Scotland, lots of pollack.
me too on the west coast. visibility is amazing
Perfect cooking skills! Great work
Hey Daniel, I just moved to Germany from South Africa and thankfully I found your channel! if you ever have space on a boat, I'd be super keen to join thanks for the awesome content
Nice video. I will be learning how to free dive soon and also learn how to spearfish
Thanks man. I've messed up crispy skin so many time. Thanks chef Dan
Looks very cold! I wish i have opportunity to try spearfishing in UK..cheers from Bali
Congratulations!!! From Austin, Texas, love your videos.
Ridiculously underrated/subscribed for the content quality.
Too kind Calvin 🙌
Love your vids keep it up! A big hug from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thanks for a good video - trying The same trick over fire with a sea trout court in Denmark - keep up the good videos 🙌🏼🙌🏼
UK/Eastern Atlantic look similar to NY/Eastern Atlantic, bit with less current, more reefs/rock structure, more public access to shores, there is fish diversity, smaller fish, but much, the water does not get as cold as in the North East of the USA in the winter, when the fish disappears to southern latitudes or deeper waters. Probably the ease of shore dive access is the main advantage of the UK. In NY state/USA and nearby states shore access is severely regulated, and private properties prevent the public to go on the shore. UK looks amazing, I saw some great diving videos from the west of Ireland. But I got myself 3 Triggerfish yesterday in NYC (and a Sea Robin/Gurnard, in the USA considered trash, but one of the best tasting). Congrats on the 100K
We get crazy currents within the English Channel, you have to be careful. I had gurnard tartare at a restaurant once, delicious.
@@DanielMann Thank you and good to know. In NY by the jetties that separate the bays from the open ocean, the tidal currents are strong, but die down. Do you go at slack tide?
Awesome vid again Dann. Great tips for the crispy skin fish, I’ve tried it and haven’t got near a crispy as yours sounds. Congrats on 100k too👍
Thanks Chris, give this method a go and see how it turns out 👌
Unfortunately down here in Cornwall atm the bass are sparse as the fishing trade has ruined the bass numbers so still looking for those bass! Nice to see you’ve found some. Nice vid amazing as usual and you deserve every like comment and subscriber congrats and stay spearing 😉👍👍
I see a few guys still getting amongst them, it is a bit early season still. It's been really quiet in Sussex the last few weeks. Hard to scratch up a feed some days.
Daniel Mann true I think I may try around porthoustock near Falmouth way there’s a nice reef off the headland there and some deeper water. Fingers crossed 🤞
I was stuffing down a greasy burger and fries while watching this. I’d have much rather eaten some of you delicious cuisine! Another solid video! Congrats hitting 100k!
Me: how do I know if the pans hot enough?
Daniel Mann: with a little bit of... SALIVA
hahahahha
best part. i do it just the same way, but I would be to shy to show it to the world ^^ but why not? the heat kills the bacteria in a milisec
spit-in-it
This made my day great 🤣🤣🤣 well anybody do have different techniques how to test the oil 😄😄😄
Ohh haven't seen this one.. you've inspired me to do spearfishing, and now, the cooking part hahaha
Mate congratulations with the 100,000 subs, one of my favorite channels no doubts, I started watching your vids after starting to spearfish and I have learned a lot from you and also is a huge motivator to go out since I am daily trapped in a city 3 hours drive from the closest beach, anyway, I feed up my addiction by watching your channel while I can go to the beach. cheers mate
BTW if you want different Salsa Verde or different sauces I can recommend you several, I am Mexican and we cook fish in many many super tasty ways.
Hey I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 Love your vids. They are always a highlight to my day.😁💪🏼
Nice, I use to put mine under the grill after frying to get the good crisp, but this looks like way less fuss. Works well with a small (700-900g) Australian salmon fresh out of the water. Salsa verde is a real treat, I'll give that try.
Plenty of ways to skin a cat, if it works it works 👌
Been watching since about 55-65k, been a pleasure to watch and learn about this sport. Not sure if I'll ever pic up a wetsuit and spear, I'm pretty attached to my dry land, rifle, and fly rod. But that doesn't change how I feel about the channel and your success, congrats on the achievement and I can't wait to see where it goes from here
Love your videos. Everything is awesome!!
Awesome video bro havent finish watching it yet
Spot on! Great video as always!
Awesome footage!! And the dish looked awesome haha
Dish looks legit! Congrats on 100k dan
I like the recipe, cheers from Italy, keep it up😊👍
New to your channel, pleased that I found you! So hungry now though! You may want to try Cornwall and Devon too. Recommend The Fishlocker and Smash Fishing too
You make very good videos love it
I love spearfishing and I Lear a lot from you videos thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
Another great video Daniel! I'm definitely gonna try crisping up the skin that way now, cause mine is always hit and miss 😂
Very good one, thank you for your Chanel.
