Finally Back On The Water - Cero Mackeral Sashimi
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2016
- Finally a dip in the wind. Got the kayak out for a quick run to make sure it still floated and test some engine repairs. Ended up catching a 28" Cero Mackeral, so decided to make a cooking video. Cero Mackeral sashimi.
I like this video a lot. Bait fish to dinner table. Also, I'd never seen a Cero Mackeral or heard of one. Edumacated. Thanks.
LOL. That's what I'm trying to do, edumacating.
flysubcompact ikr, had to Google that one.
My friend, you are living my dream life.
Honestly mate your channel has the absolute best content on TH-cam. Informative, entertaining and original. Thank you so much for your hard work. Multiple videos per week! Can't believe how much amazing content you have created. Big things coming your way for sure!
Its crazy how much ive learned watching your videos man thanks! Loving it
Good deal. I hope it helps out people to get on the fish. Love the sport.
i love you
I am not a big fan of eating fish mostly only in Ceviche but I do enjoy fishing and watching you fish really gets me jealous to be able to fish in such a place as you do. Keep up the videos I love watching them when you fish by the mangroves
Thanks Brayan. The catch and cook videos have been very popular and have made a lot of people hungry. Yea, the Keys are a beautiful destination.
Mmmm mmm Looks great my mouths watering lol thanks for sharing, Graham.
I'm from Germany but man this is the best fishing channel I've seen
Would love to fish a few days down there
Thanks Jakob. It's not a bad place to just enjoy the sun as well.
thanks for broadcasting this I have planns to get to key largo and this footage helps me see what I am getting myself into.
I used to live in Key Largo. A nice place, plus close to Miami. You will have a good time.
Key West Kayak Fishing key largo is downtown Miami :X. That's why I can't go that far north. It just doesn't feel right.
Yes another vid love them all and catch and cooks like these
They are fun to make so I'll keep making them. Lots of different types of fish down here.
Key West Kayak Fishing in coming down to Miami in April and may go to the keys if u have any tips without giving away spots that would be great hahaha
Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Really neat to see a Cero Mackeral. We don't catch them up here in North Florida, just spanish and kings. What a beautiful fish and those fillets were some kind of pretty. Looks like I have a lot of new videos to check out.
Yea, they are primarily way down south. It's too bad, they are an amazing tasting fish. We only get them down here for a short period of time. I whacked hem today. Video hopefully out in the next day or two.
Spot on bro,
cero spots. Great sashimi, good luck with the sharks!
Thanks. Fly fishing for sharks will be up tomorrow morning.
Love the cooking videos
Thanks Thanh. They have been very popular. A good subject with all the wind we have been having. I've got more coming.
Great job in the video! The smudges weren't a big deal. I really enjoy you sushi and cooking videos
Smudges are the devil. LOL. Now, I am paranoid about them. Yea, the catch and cook videos have been really popular. Lots of hungry people out there.
Thats not a cooking video bro. Thats a raw ass sashimi video. Big difference😎
Great video! Keep going man !
I sure will. Don't have to twist my are. Thanks for watching veritce.
great videos like always
good work,keep it up,yes!!!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Stang.
Great video thanks for sharing
gread vid! thanks!! keep'em coming!
Will do. Thanks for watching and commenting John.
cool video and nice kayak
Fishing and eating, plus good scenery. Easy to make a good video then. Thx.
These fish are awesome. Fantastic eating.
Yea, a Keys secret.
another one Steve love this video man you should start selling your knowledge lol great job .
Hey! don't put no bad ideas people like me can't afford it
You don't have to worry. I just do it for the fun.
Thanks Jose. Nah, I like doing it because it is fun and a challenge. The Keys are a tough place to fish, but what people see on tv makes it look easy. I feel bad when people come down and have a hard time catching. I get enough thanks to make it worth it.
Very cool video!!! I'll have to try that one day!!
Definitely. Especially if you like Tuna Sashimi.
I do!! I most definitely will try it you made it look so nice!!!! The way you caught it and put it on your plate you can't get any fresher than that!!!
This video made my mouth water
Yea, it's even a lighter flavor than Tuna. Pretty good stuff. Surprising coming from a Mackeral.
Good job buddy👊🏽👍🏽
Thank you very much Lupe.
Glad to see you back on the water.
Unfortunately, these winds are blowing again. I got out yesterday so I will post that video, and then it is back to the bridges and shore.
Oh okay. Any fishing is better than no fishing lol.
Awesome! I'm gonna have to give sashimi a try someday.
If you like the Tuna, you will enjoy this as well. When are you going to be doing more bike and trailer fishing? Those are my favorite.
Key West Kayak Fishing
Thanks. I really like fishing via bike and trailer and was going to do that today but I'm stuck here at home. Maybe mid week I can get out there and do something for a few hours.
Nice catch, yummy sashimi 👍
It was a sweet surprise. Good to have a different type of sashimi rather than Blackfin.
Never had cero before.. looks delicious. thanks for the craving.. lol
It's simple, just go out and get a Cero Mackerel. Oh, I guess not so simple. McDonald's filet o fish maybe. Almost the same.
I did a ceviche with some of the other pieces and that was even better. It's a very light lean fish so its one of those that is good no matter how you cook them.
Great video
Thanks Mike for watching and commenting.
Thanks for sharing your fishing videos and straight forward approach to fishing and food prep. Not fancy, just practical. If you have not seen Virtuovice videos, I think you might enjoy. He is a Japanese outdoorsman, hunter, fisherman, knife enthusiast on the north island of Japan. A general practice doctor by trade, excellent English. Very entertaining.
Great video! Beautiful looking fish and fillets. Question though, I heard that before you eat raw fish, that you should flash freeze it real quick first to kill off potentially harmful bacteria, but it doesn't seem like in any of your videos you do this. So since your alive and kicking, I'm guessing that is only the case if your buying fish and haven't freshly caught it yourself? Thanks!
Steve likes to live on the edge!
That's my favorite thing on earth shasimai is the best nice video
Even better than a Big Mac?
From the looks of your rig I'd say yrrr into it
Right on dude, I thought I was the only one eating ceros sashimi style haha. Ceros make a pretty damn good ceviche too. You said you're going shark fishing, but those mackerel bellies make a mean strip bait. I really enjoy these videos.
Yea, they are pretty popular down here with the people in the know. That white meat makes it easy to tell it is going to taste good. Nice solid filets. No trolling in these winds. Shark fishing video will be out tomorrow.
The looks really delicious.
It's the best way to really know if something tastes good. With the minimal amount of preparation. And yea, it was delicious.
I can see this is 6 years old. But.... a $4 black rubber door mat on top of that cooler makes fileting even easier. Just as easy to clean.....
Personaly I like these videos more than bridge fishing!
I enjoy fishing, regardless of location so its all good for me.
Yea, I like to change things up. Keeps things interesting and always learning more.
Wow! That small plate is $20 worth of sashimi where I'm at! Lucky man, enjoy!
Plus you know where it comes from. Can't beat that.
I LOVE Cero. Probably my favorite fish to eat. Have the luck to live right next to a nice reef drop off thick with them.
They are like Snappers, good to eat regardless how prepared. It's great to have a reliable food system.
You should be a chef! Great vid👌🏽
Would take away from my fishing. LOL. thanks for watching.
one more thing as for my Hobby... what is that yellow cylinder inside the sail mount hole?
Great stuff Steve. As usual, your videos are entertaining and informative. BTW, if you will reduce the angle on your knife blade and apply a bit of downward pressure, almost flexing the blade against the skin you will greatly reduce your instances of cutting through the skin. The fresh sushi looks amazing.
Thx. That mackeral skin is pretty thin. Probably better with a filet knife. Definitely a light flavor to it that most people would enjoy. Definitely no fishy taste. It was great in a ceviche as well.
Love and peace brother fun is what is all about :-):-):-):-)
I don't know about love and peace, I can't do Hippi, but definitely fun is what it is all about.
+Key West Kayak Fishing I live on bribie Australia u have any good shark bait ideary
we caught one off big pine and made ceviche with it. it was delicious
Dam that meet looks good
It was a great snack. Nice, light, and fresh. I also did some as a ceviche. That was good too.
Another great video...glad to see the nom-nom was included. Your getting too damn popular, soon you'll have a kayak guide business going. I'm getting so close to pulling the trigger and buying one with the sole purpose of using it in the Keys...and of course you reveal that there is now a brain eating screw worm/fly! Figures. Thanks for the great vids!!!
Nah, I passed on the guiding the last time I lived here. Could have taken over a well established guide and commercial operation. This run was just for the sake of putting the kayak through the paces down here. Maggots make good bait. Just think of them as portable. It's actually a pretty big deal now. They have had to put down over a 100 deer out of a population hovering around 1000. They have also found them on other animals and pets as well. Makes me itchy thinking about it.
Nice video. I love Cero macks prepared as Escabeche. Have you hooked a big Wahoo out there in the reef while trolling from your kayak yet? Wahoos are insane. Do you have a species you have caught in a Yak list yet?
I think it was last month I picked up a Wahoo in around 250'. The Cero is a great fish all the way around.
Hi, I've been enjoying your videos a lot. I'm a fresh water fisherman so don't know much about fishing in salt water but have a question. I noticed that when rigging your hooks you throw the scrap line in the water. Will the salt water break that down over time or is there a concern about it being in the water and not breaking down? Thanks.
i love ur yak set up. how much was the single out rigger wit the 2 arms? and where can i get it?
My kayak is the Hobie Adventure Island which is a full on sailing kayak. So, everything came with the kayak. You can check out Hobies website.
that fish looks hella good !do you ever make ceviche with cero?
You mentioned freezing some of those filets. Isn’t mackerel not very good after you freeze it?
Your show is awesome would love to go fishing with you sometime I live in tennesse my name is Ray
Hey bud what brand is that outrigger? I'd like to get one, also depends on the cost. Keep up the great videos. Thanks
It comes as part of the sailing kayak. Hobie Adventure Island. You can buy the parts and adapt if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/tn9lcvVw1AM/w-d-xo.html
Do you not rinse the filets at all then or did you use salt water later?
gotta try it fresh like this!
People don't know what fresh until sashimi right out of the water.
how come youre not supposed to let freshwater touch the fillet? when i googled i got stuff staying because it changes flavor, this true?
Do you not ever use Cuda tubes for barracuda??
Do you ever freeze your fish until you are sure there are no parasites in the meat? How do you know of the fish you catch is safe to eat raw? Love the videos thanks so much for the uploads!
Gary Chiang You can see most parasites with the naked eye, just gotta be vigilant lol and a slight risk taker 😉
needlefish aka houndfish are actually really really good cut bait
That's a nice catch buddy! Cero is my favorite of all Mackerel and definitely in my top 10 of all fish! When I make a video of my favorite recipe Mackerel in Coconut Milk, I'll message it to you so you can see another presentation method :-)
Sidenote, I have no idea why anyone would thumbsdown the vid? Smudged lenses perhaps? But that happens to all of us who brave the elements to make videos! I mean come on now...
Keep up the good work!
Definitely. The Macks should be moving in with the cooler weather and the Pilchards. I'm trying to expand my cooking base so I'll give anything a shot. Thumbs up, thumbs down, either way it actually helps the channel. I guess youtube subscribes to the old adage about any publicity is good publicity.
great channel. hey I'm thinking about purchasing a penn spinfisher v. I was looking at the 8500 live liner vs the 9500 or 10500. my main uses would be on a kayak and pier. would you know any reasons as why I should go bigger than 8500 ll? or stick with the 8500 live liner?
unless your going for gaint sharks or rays i wouldnt get one that big.
Like ghl.... said, unless you are targeting really big Sharks off the pier, you wont need that much line. You especially don't need it from your yak as you can follow the fish around. The extra weight and all the extra cost for spooling it with line wouldn't be worth it. Hope that helps. I do know some of the Miami kayak guys like the bigger spinners because of the extra drag they can put on for vertical jigging, but I don't think it is that necessary. Plus, that weight.
just watched the video going over your yak setup. didn't realize you had a 25hp engine. how fast does that thing go?!
2.5, and i believe he said roughly 8-9mph.
do you have video of your yak and how you have it set up I would really like to see how you have it.
Here you go. th-cam.com/video/r7ZEqCVuk_M/w-d-xo.html
Gordon Ramsey be like..........ITS FUCKING RAWWWWWW.😂😂😂😂😂
how often do you catch ceros vs spanish? do they travel in schools together?
They start showing up more often in the winter. Pretty much the same with all the Mackerels. We catch them a lot in the Gulf and backcountry as well as on the reef. I don't know about schools, but they do show up together but I think that is due to the fact that there is more bait moving in shore.
Dear Steve I have read all comments before typing this note and I notice that one way or the other you have serious followers including myself we all learn some every time once again nice show and thanx. only thing I ask maybe you can name the fish in Spanish I guess cero mackerel equal pintadilla..? Good luck :-)
el mismo familia como serrucho
+elevin1972 gracias amigo:-)
Good idea. I never thought about learning that. I speak basic Spanish but have never really learned local fishes name in Spanish. I think the local Cubans can help with that. I'll look into it.
+Key West Kayak Fishing I'm also a Cuban and I know they're going to help u because you're a great fellow. Thanx
What rod and reel and line are you using? Very curious!
My light tackle stuff is Penn Conflict reels and Shimano Teramar rods. I have a few other mis-matched stuff as well. I'm not a big rod and reel snob. If it works, I am happy.
Damn it, I'm hungry again !!!!!
McDonald's filet o fish. Same thing. LOL.
Where in the hell is Ronald's fishing videos?
have u ever thought about putting a piece of netting from your kayak to your pontoon so u can put some stuff on it and or somthing
Yea, they have those canvas pieces you can add. Great for taking other people out on. I don't have a need to carry more stuff, plus, I like the ability to paddle as well.
knife was super sharp
My knife said Thanks.
probably a dumb question but what types of fish are safe to eat raw? does it matter if it's fresh or salt water?
Fresh water will tend to carry more types of parasites than Saltwater. Flash freezing will take care of most of them. There is always a risk just like everything. The colder the water that they are living in also is better. Usually, the white somewhat solid filets are best. Oily fish tend to be too fishy. For freshwater, I hear the Crappies can be good.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ballyhoo
Is a very good bait for cuda and cut bait for snapper try it soon
Yea, that is my go to cut bait for snappers, but it is not easy for people to catch unless they have a boat or are able to get out to the reef with a kayak. Pinfish is a lot more useful for the general population, so that is what I try to use.
Can you do a video on your net throwing technique? You throw that thing pretty far!
I think I will do that this week as we are on another crazy wind cycle. I just didn't want to pollute the youtube with another cast net how-to, but I truly base my fishing around the cast net, so probably use it more than most.
What's your favorite fish to eat and favorite way to prepare/cook it?
Mangrove Snapper is my choice. I'm not a big food connosuire, so they are great all across the board. Plus, they are abundant so no drag on the eco-system. They work with any type of recipe. From Sashimi, ceviche, to all sorts of cooked.
Halibut would be second as you can get a steak size piece that is also great quality.
Was that a reverse Albright on the wire to mono
Yea, albright works just the same.
Nice Cero Mack! It's a shame that you had some smudges on the video. I'm always wiping the lens on my GoPro every so often, it gets dirty without even touching it.
Yea, it pissed me off when I saw the files. I really haven't had too much trouble with smudges, but this whole video was smudged up.
What editing software do you use and what is it called
I just use the Gopro studio. My videos are pretty basic so don't need many extra features. Works fine for me.
Good vid bro, that meat did look fantastic, check your lense from time to time to clean it off.
Yea, that was a bummer especially since I wasn't even on the water when it was smudged. It's back on my check list.
Craftsman knife is nice.
where can I get the knife sharpener
I bought mine at WestMarine.
Key West Kayak Fishing I got mine from bass pro whole kit knifes and sharpener with cutting board and gloves
I have never seen someone Fillet a fish like that
I also enjoy using the mirage drive well, to bleed fish. That and numerous other things. Smudgy lens makes my eyes go out of focus :(
It's perfect for bleeding out Blackfins. Their heads wedge right in the slot. Yea, that bummed me out when I saw the footage. Haven't had that much problem before, but this whole video was plagued with them.
Aren’t you supposed to freeze the filet before making sashimi? To kill parasites or something.
How often do you eat ambush fish? Any worries about mercury?
I like eating junk food, so fish make up a small portion of my diet. I am primarily a catch and release fisherman so really only keep them on occasion. Don't worry that much about Mercury. Don't really worry too much about food as everything is bad for you, it just depends on how far you want to dig into it.
if I didn't see this vid I would've thought that was a Spanish mackerel.
Yea, they are pretty close. Just the line and a little bit of coloration differences. Definitely dont throw them back now that you know.
how come you stopped numbering your episodes
Where in the key west is this exactly?
Shark Channel. Just east of Geiger key and West of Saddlebunch keys.
Fish, and plankton, and sea greens and protein from the sea
wait what happens if you put fresh water on your fillets
It breaks down the cells walls by extracting the saltwater from the filets. Not a big deal if you are cooking right away. Just don't want to soak them for any time. Just think of it as the same thing that happens if you put a steak in water. The blood bleeds out and it gets all white and starts to break down. Same thing with saltwater fish.
Been noticing that you sport long pants on nearly all your kayak trips. What brand are they? I'm in the market for a quick drying, swimming-type long pants. Thanks!
Not sure. Kmart clearance old school sweats. I like to makes sure they have elastic on the legs so that they keep the sand out of my wading boots. I got them for $10.
Sweats? Dang.
Are Barracudas good chum? Why so (if they are)?
They are very oily and smelly.
oh, interesting. Thanks!
Yup, as RikkiTikkiTavi said, they are that and then some. I hate bringing them on board because of the stink.
Thanks for the info!
so why don't you like to put fresh water on your fillets?
Not so much an issue with the ones I am going to be using right away, but fresh water will start breaking down the meat if left to soak. It has something to do with the saltwater that is held in the cells of the saltwater fish and them being extracted as the cells are inflated with the fresh water. It's kind of like putting a steak in water. It starts turning gelatinous. So, I try to filet as clean as possible, throw them in a bag and then into the freezer. When I am going to prepare, give them a good wash down and cook them up. If you freeze right away, it wouldn't make much of a difference either.
what size reel is the penn
William Nash He's got a 4000 & 6000 Conflict. His gear is usually in the description.
ok thankyou
use the scraps for baby sharks and barracuda
Watch tomorrows video.
Beaten off twice lol
LOL. You got that.
hey, enjoyed you videos a lot, you got a nice channel going here. Consider getting yourself a set of traditional Japanese knifes. A Deba and a Yanagi, doesn't have to be those high end expensive ones, just the lower end stainless one to start with. You should also consider filleting your fish the Japanese way. It's more work but worth it. Check out the channel of Nara hirokazu, he will show you the proper way to butcher a fish. It's gonna take a lot of practice, but you will be able to enjoy your catch better for sure.
What about the ceramic knives?
Jon Mitchell they are OK to use for general cooking, just don't drop them. If you are serious about making the best out of your catch, especially if you like to enjoy them raw, you need specialized knifves.
I always thought the ceramics were for sushi chefs, Im watching the Nara hirokazu channel right now, great stuff. thanks for the suggesting his channel
Damn those are awesome, I WANT!!!!!!
i.ebayimg.com/images/a/(KGrHqV,!icE5gJTN0KCBOY8ouT47Q~~/s-l500.jpg
Jon Mitchell look into Ike jime as well, it's the proper way to process the fish after you catch it, there's more than just bleeding the fish.
Is it safe to eat it raw like that?
That would be called sashimi.. And yes..
Bee Gee Yeah I know it's sashimi lol, however is Spanish Mackerel from the gulf coast safe for sashimi as well?
That part I do not know, but I would assume yes. If anything bring a lemon and do it ceviche style. :)
Cero Mackeral is different than Spanish or Kings. It is not oily nor that grayish color. They have very white meat that is very light in flavor. Mostly only find in the Keys to the Bahamas.
I have caught my fair share of cero up in boynton beach
Spot of water the whole time you were fileting the fish... only aggravated me alittle, love your vids tho
Big bummer for me too. But, being that putting the fish back together again for a re-do wasn't really an option, just have to live with it. Funny though, if your far sighted, it is clear as crystal. LOL.
why no fresh water?
I live on an island in the middle of the sea.
