This made me so hungry! My daughter tried eel a little while ago and loved it. So I called her in to watch this and now we are both looking fresh eel in Arizona lol.
Seeing a good fillet job is so satisfying 👍🏼 The first fishing I learned was poke poling. We use to catch 2-3 ft ones on Treasure Island 10+ years ago. I love the japanese style videos man hits home for me.
@@bkirstie also one in Florida near Tampa but more of a tourist and swimming beach area.....I would love to go fishing at the West Coast Treasure Island.
Kia ora Taku and Jocelyn. Taku, you never fail to impress me with your knowledge of rock foraging techniques. Since I was a 4-year-old, I've loved doing the same thing. My father introduced us to the ocean, foraging, fishing,netting,diving, and cooking over a fire after. Now, to be able to do this with my grandsons is exciting and fun. Your camera person always does an excellent job. Keep doing it bro, your a master out doors.
this is one of the best most inspirational video that I've seen i literally want to go catch an eel right now and surprise my family thank you so much for teaching me and giving me the opportunity to have a great moment with my son
Hey bro, why not just like do an Eel burrito or some ceviche with avocado cilantro celery and red onion? Scoop it up with tortilla chips and your family be like dude wtf, bro? Seriously.
it seems like Taku isnt really himself when hes talking in front of the camera, or doing a voiceover, like he is when hes narrating the go pro. honestly its refreshing. New favorite youtube show.
GREAT VID TAKU!! NOTHING LIKE SHARING TIME OVER A GREAT MEAL WITH YOUR LADY !!! DEFINITELY A KEEPER!!! TAUGHT MY GIRLFRIEND TO FISH THEN SURF !!! 26 YEARS OF ADVENTURES!! KEEP IT GOING BRADDAH!!
Even though I'm not a fan of raw fish but those eel roll are to die for I can eat that all day! Thanks for showing how that's done. I still enjoy the way you make sushi, very talented chef skills.
Man...looks so Ono!!! Such a great foraging and eating partner. Keep them vids coming. My 3 favorites: Outdoor chef life, Fisherman's Life, philosophy D...you guys rock!! But your food design is da bomb!! 😁😁😁
Wow, the sushi eel looks amazing Taku! Thanks for taking the time to show us the steps from catching, prepping, cooking, and eating the monkey face eel!
Great catch/cook and how to video. Kudos to the camera woman (sorry didn't want to butcher the spelling) with the great angles during the fillet job. I like the thick spine on your knife. There is a nice Japanese knife store in Berkeley that has really good knives. I might pop in again to check some out. I know they are not cheap but you can't beat the quality. Thanks for sharing.
This dude would be the best kind of friend to have around. Damn you could start a catch/forage and cook/sushi experience company. I would come out every weekend. I live in the same area!
Dude. You’re an inspiration I’m from wv and I’ve been making sushi with trout,came across this page! I’m so inspired! Maybe some day I could join you on an adventure! Also the fact you taught those kids so much more than you realize made my day!
Taku!!! I am so glad I found your channel, you are one of my favorite parts of my week! Keep up the fantastic work, and as always, thank you for another amazing video! Huge congrats to you and her for all the success you will surely have
I've never cared for fish in my 27 years of life. But watching these videos and others where they clean and cook a fish, really makes me hungry for some reason.
This is my second time watching this video lol. Surprisingly your channel was brought to my attention by my outdoorsy husband. I usually don’t watch the same things he does. I was hooked by how you make sushi right on the spot. I LOVE sushi and watching videos of them. I can’t eat any now cause I’m preggo 😢. I love unagi!! Keep up the good work! You’re videos are soo interesting.
You should make more videos like this it's both entertaining and educational, shows viewers how to live and survive off of the most peculiar ways of fishing. And some might great ingredients at that. I never knew of a fishing technique like this but I'm intrigued with it very much
Dude my hats off to your stellar production quality. I love the classy jazz soundtrack, it goes great with your zen like personality. Thank for the share.
That looked so amazingly, mouth watering, make me want to jump in the screen just to take a smell..... I love the fact how you explained the filleting part of it along with the catching...... you Are awesome and thank you Sir. Can't wait to try my hand at this amazing dish
So psyched that I found this channel! It's evident you have a lot of talent, your videos are engaging, and it's incredibly interesting to see your from-nature-to-plate process. I hope to see plenty more from you in the future!
My dad and I poke poled for eel up and down central coast 65 years ago Few other Anglos fished for them which was fine for us! How great it would have been to know the unagi style preparation I can’t fish reefs now but maybe the jetty Thanks for great memories
looks so good! you can soak the wood/bamboo skewers in water, prior to grilling, to prevent the skewers from burning. but of course, metal skewers can be reused and thus better option
Can you do a tutorial on how you caught your girl? One who goes out fishing with you and basically is down for anything? Please show step by step instructions 😂😂🤣🤣😭
I know you're just joking, but here I go anyways. Make the first time fishing experience memorable, or she'll be reluctant to go next time. Also be prepared to be busy cus you're gonna have to re-tie the rigs whenever shes snags them...it'll happen alot..... Small price to pay for her company.
Well done, I was filleting for years and you did a pretty good job. I normally would leave the eels in a bucket of sand and let them de-slime themselves. But handy hot water technique. cheers

For sure the best part of this vid.. pass on the knowledge!
Totally agree. What a great thing to do - pass along knowledge unselfishly. Shows in how you put your videos together, too - very instructional.
@@forkmonkey Undeniably right. Wonderful.
I just thought that dude!
I know this guy in real life he’s a dbag
Who hates on these videos? This stuff is gold 👌🏽
Vegans

Vegans appreciate the flavors from a distance. Lmao

While everyone is obsessed with tuna, and tuna based sushi. i'll still always go for Unagi first. So damn good. Nice job man!
Yeah! I personally don’t like the taste of tuna, but I LOVE unagi! Especially barbecued!!
@Dead Signal not can based tuna. Fresh cut.
I like having all 3 rolls/sashimi types salmon/tuna/eel all real good

Nice! And the jazz music in the background is spot on.

Black kid 🧒
MC MLee I agree. I keep coming back to watch the video again and wishing I could try some 😭
Isn´t sushi suposed to be raw fish ?
"Thanks for the advice"
That's the best feeling in the world.
You made that kid a better fisherman.

Rewatching this and watch y’all now make me feel like I’m watch y’all grow.. awesomeness!!
I love this dude. He’s so damn wholesome. It’s kinda awkward at times but like damn
I don't find him awkward. More like softspoken wise asian man.
nothing awkward about any of these videos, its prolly awkward because ur a zoomer maybe?
@@flamechicken415 have you seen him clamming with jocelyn? 😂😂😂
Outstanding, from one chef to another. I really like how you go from harvest to table, with easy to follow instructions. Good job
This is the content ive been missing all my life.

Salivating right from the cutting board! Never have eaten eel with skin on. Wonderful presentation!
Taku’s knifework is SO clean 👌🏻
Wow! Great fishing skills and nice sharing with some kids for fishing eels as well. Very nice and clean Cut/Grill. Nice job,
Wow watching you work with that knife is amazing, I'm going to have to give this recipe a try for sure. Thanky you for sharing with us.
I’m so glad I found your channel. You’re one of the few outdoor catching channels who knows how to cook.
Hi, Noah here from Waller, Tx.
WOW loving your adventures. This is a great video. Amazing HD quality. Keep up the great work on the videos.
Wow, the sushi eel looks amazing Taku! Thanks for taking the time to show us the steps from catching, prepping, cooking, and eating the monkey face eel!
Hi chef, I love you recipes especially when you use seasonings from nature like sour grass and sea salt from a puddle that evaporated.
I like how resourceful you are with your setup. Your food looks great.
Great video! Will we ever see indoor chef life? Curious about your restaurant that's so cool!
If you guys wanna see it!
Outdoor Chef Life we do!!
Yes we do!
@@OutdoorChefLife You should make a separate channel, or make it a separate series on this channel. It really is a brilliant idea.
Outdoor Chef Life hey love your vids brotha man! What kind of knife is that looks nicely made?
When youtube reccomends me good channels like these I love it
After watching your videos, you make me wanna try foods, that i wouldn't normally try. So thank you. 😄👍
Superb craftsmanship, nice to see the kid having a go too. 👏👏
Great catch/cook and how to video. Kudos to the camera woman (sorry didn't want to butcher the spelling) with the great angles during the fillet job. I like the thick spine on your knife.

Watching your TH-cam channel is so relaxing. Love watching after work
That fillet job 😭so satisfying! You need a million more subs!
You did good letting that kid fish that hole. It shows you have a good heart! Keep up the great work.
This dude would be the best kind of friend to have around. Damn you could start a catch/forage and cook/sushi experience company.
I would come out every weekend. I live in the same area!
Absolutely the best TH-cam video of cleaning MFE.
One of my favourite dishes, eels a love them even though the majority of people do not.
I love them too.
I can't eat seafood 😔. Allergies.
Dude!! that's so cool your showing us how to catch and cook, thanks bratha, keep those vid's commin.
That's right "Damn" looks so good!!!! Very good tutorial. Taku you the man!
Very cool. Made me wince when you used that nice Deba to hammer nails!
Phenomenal video! Im going out tomorrow to try and catch some eel.
Dude. You’re an inspiration I’m from wv and I’ve been making sushi with trout,came across this page! I’m so inspired! Maybe some day I could join you on an adventure! Also the fact you taught those kids so much more than you realize made my day!
Dude that is damn close to the same eel I had in those little hole in the wall bar/bbq joints in Okinawa. Food was absolutely amazing.
Vibin' on your channel...the music, your personable attitude, the catch and prep to cook to presentation to consumption - good vibes! Aloha
Dope man:)

Just found your channel from fishermens life. Love it, instantly subscribed
Tom Simpson same.
Great vid... sometimes I add fresh ginger to the sauce. I will put the fins in next time.! Usually discard.
I think that was my favorite episode so far. And I loved cooking over coals like that. Thanks for sharing!
Just came across from 1 of fishermans life videos great video u have here keep it up
You should make more videos like this it's both entertaining and educational, shows viewers how to live and survive off of the most peculiar ways of fishing. And some might great ingredients at that. I never knew of a fishing technique like this but I'm intrigued with it very much
What’s up Taku!!! 👍🏻 poke poling is on my bucket list!
Prickleback also makes excellent fish-n-chips using panko bread crumbs. Enjoying all of you catching & cooking videos!
I like ur style man! good stuff and always eating with some beer =)
Dude my hats off to your stellar production quality. I love the classy jazz soundtrack, it goes great with your zen like personality. Thank for the share.

Damn you for making me so hungry! 🤣
Wow...your Deba skills are just amazing!
i amDIGGING the hat lol
Your video's always lifts me up when I'm feeling down. Thank you! You and Jocelyn are doing an awesome job.😊👍
A super quality knife tough enough to be used as a hammer......
That looked so amazingly, mouth watering, make me want to jump in the screen just to take a smell..... I love the fact how you explained the filleting part of it along with the catching...... you Are awesome and thank you Sir. Can't wait to try my hand at this amazing dish
14:33 biggest pieces of eel pieces I’ve ever seen! :o
Not really an eel. It's just called that because of its look.
MY MOUTH IS WATERING. DAMN! Great work to both of you.
If this was Fisherman’s Life, I guarantee he’s gonna cook it with butter
guarantee you
very nice of you to help the kid, i lover ur channel and i hope you keep it up! ive been watching since around 35k
really enjoying your content...and im NOT a fish eater
Wellington Smithopolis Esq. hey you don’t have to like the product to recognize well made content
So psyched that I found this channel! It's evident you have a lot of talent, your videos are engaging, and it's incredibly interesting to see your from-nature-to-plate process. I hope to see plenty more from you in the future!
Bruh, this is making me hungry lol.
Great filleting advice and camera shots, appreciate the time you took on this!
Damn you!! I'm hungry now and all I have is spaghetti.
All I got is 12 funky ass dollars im trying to hold onto
My dad and I poke poled for eel up and down central coast 65 years ago
Few other Anglos fished for them which was fine for us!
How great it would have been to know the unagi style preparation
I can’t fish reefs now but maybe the jetty
Thanks for great memories
Dude I feel like u, Terada and fisherman’s life have a group chat on like messages or something
You're right they recently did a collab.
Wow that totally made me hungry! Nice cook and clean chef!
Put a ring on her dawg.
bingeing Fishermans life and Outdoor chef life vids late at night
"Crazy bug" from 15:40 and 238 of its siblings disliked this video
im so happy for you taku please stay awesome just the way you are my man
He is like the cool asian in class that was smart as hell and gave u food that fckn was amazing!
Man this guy can freaking cook his sushi looks better than any place ive ever been to id love to fish and cook with this guy great video man
Damn that would be perfect with some avocado.
Rocky P n butter.
both avocado and butter are greasy soft flavored ingredients... why would you put them together with eel, another greasy but tastier ingredient?
looks so good! you can soak the wood/bamboo skewers in water, prior to grilling, to prevent the skewers from burning. but of course, metal skewers can be reused and thus better option
Well done! Soak your skewers next time. ;)
Love the content. Came here through Fisherman's Life so you and I both owe that man some thanks
I don’t even like sea food, why am I watching this
21 Problems maybe youtube is trying to say try something new
This is the best video. I make this style of sushi all the time. This like an outdoor version. Thanks man.
Can you do a tutorial on how you caught your girl? One who goes out fishing with you and basically is down for anything? Please show step by step instructions 😂😂🤣🤣😭
Step 1 Be a chef? 😂
grimspectre no kidding lol. Food always attracts women lol
I know you're just joking, but here I go anyways. Make the first time fishing experience memorable, or she'll be reluctant to go next time. Also be prepared to be busy cus you're gonna have to re-tie the rigs whenever shes snags them...it'll happen alot..... Small price to pay for her company.
