Im an american working at a private university in midwest. I've met lots of Australians and New Zealanders Maori pacific islanders and even got invited to go pick Opihi in Hawaii. The Pacific people's are really great good people.
Well when you get it for free its ok not many of us can afford to eat cheap food just wish he does,nt stuff his mouth with huge amounts of food at one go...
I lived there 3 years ago, I grew up fishing the same areas. I live on the Gold Coast in QLD now,,, much better weather, Mark was lucky to be there on such a nice day, not too many of them come by being so far south.
I think this was one of marks most memorable trip,he looked so excited to catch and taste the tuna,brings another appreciation to your food knowing you caught it in its natural habitat.
I was born near Sorrento and have been fishing my entire life in the same places. After watching Mark for all these years, it truly warms my heart to finally see him and his family enjoying my backyard.
Now this is what you call "Better Living"!! Every bit of this fishing trip was just perfection to the core from the views to the dining on the Bayside. I can only imagine how heaven taste like & this is a prime example. Mouth watering🤤 bite size delicacy with a tickle of wine to quench the pallet is a taste of class. Wow Mark! You really did it on this one for sure! Nice snag🎣 on the bluefin btw! Good times, great food, & phenomenal vibes is what makes life all worth it... Appreciate you Mark for sharing your impeccable experience. Cheers Mate!! 🥂🐟
I’m an Aussie living in Melbourne Victoria and I loved every bit of that video as I love all your videos ,made me proud to be an Aussie and the way those fellow Aussies treated you and your family and friends was just great.🎣🇦🇺
Mark, be honest, this is the best country for food that you've visited? The diversity of people and their cuisine, the fresh quality produce available, the friendliness of everyone, the service and the beauty of the country, it can't be beaten
As a European, I've been watching Masterchef Australia for years, and I've been watching your videos for years as well. Watching this video (and your other ones from Australia), it's fantastic to recognize end enjoy all this Aussie produce and food culture from all those MC years. Absolutely fantastic video, it makes me want to go to Australia!!! Wel done!
Wow, I want to go to Australia the food looks amazing. The people there are just so friendly and helpful and they do know how to have a really good time. Fantastic video. Thank you Mark for showing us what Australia is all about fantastic people.
Beautiful country but their politicians are like dictators. Forcing everyone to get the covid vax, flying drones around to catch people without a mask on, etc. Bunch of communists and Aussies just put up with it.
Sorry I don't understand what are you unsure about? I mean I can only go on what people tell me that I have met in other countries is that they preserve my country as an island full of dangerous spices and sharks! This is the type of comments I have encountered in the Usa and other countries I have travelled to and it's very hard to explain to people that it's not like that at all 😂😂😂
I have watch to many vids about very large spiders, the beaches have critters that hurt if they touch you. Sharks and fires. I just recently started seeing vids about the wonderful seafood. Being a foodie it got my attention.
@ Mount Kailash ... The earth is a flat realm so there is no down under, a flat Horizon ... what 5-7 Ft humans argue about, those who lack observation, perspective and the obvious truth not being hidden ... All trains travel on flat tracks world wide and all ships sail the flat surface ocean waters .. Teach your children well. Much love to you.
Once again I appreciate the depth of knowledge required for fishing. The fishermen family were so kind and great teachers. This and Korea might be some of my favourite series of yours Mark. I did not realize the diversity and rich offerings of Australia until now. I might have to add it to the bucket list. Will we see some koalas?
Yep. This is like the true Aussie experience. Go fishing with your mates while having bevos, get home cook up with some tunes and enjoy your fresh catch for dinner 🤌🏽👏🏽🤤
As a member of your blog with barely a few hundred thousand members, I am glad that ten million members will soon be a fact. Congratulations Mark for all the good work!!!
I’m so happy you came back to Victoria and experienced the fishing-plus I loved how interested Mika was on the dolphins and you got to experience what we do in this magnificent country!
What an epic day!! Catching your own tuna for fresh-as-can-be sashimi is awesome!! The food, the scenery, and the people made for a dream day. I can't wait to see Australia with my own eyes one of these days!!
This has got to be one of your best videos Mark, you really have outdone yourself. A real genius. I just didn't want it to end. You are the absolute best and my favourite food and travel vlogger
Yep can't beat fresh bluefin tuna caught outside Port Phillip heads, great stuff there Mark and awesome feast on the beach...living the Melbourne lifestyle, love it!
What a fantastic post! Good fishing, excellent food presentations by top tier chefs, and enjoying it all with good friends. This is what good living looks like! Blessings to you and your beautiful family, Mark👍🏾
You can see why Melbourne constantly ranks as the most liveable city in the world with the fresh food and recreational options. And these videos have only touched the surface of Melbourne's food choices available
Love how your wife and son enjoy them self when they get to travel with you Ying looked more at ease in this blog she inter acted with the group more glad to see that.😅😅😅😅
Mark you are definitely living your best life!!! It seems like this day couldn't have gotten any better even if you tried definitely enjoyed this video!
Love the fishing excitement! But it's a good thing you don't have to catch every meal. Just taste every meal. Congrats on a great fishing adventure and another awesome video in the books. Best TH-cam Channel Ever!
This is by far my favourite enjoyment! Fished since I was a grommet, really appreciate mark diving into Melbourne's exiting opportunities it really makes me smile on the inside. Hope you had a great time and also showed be some great places to try food in my own city. Cheers and G'day mate! Hooroo
I have watched all your videos.. Now daily whenever I sit to have my lunch or dinner. I used to watch you while I eat.. It makes me feel like m sitting just beside you... Every week I wait for new videos... And yes Mark you are a good man.. Good bless you and your family...
Victoria is a beautiful place. It's people are the lovliest. They always go that extra mile to make sure you have a pleasant stay. The food looks delicious too fish on the BBQ 😋 not sure about sharing the bone though 😂😂
This is a rollercoaster of fishing activities; baiting, catching, reeling and the exhilaration of landing a catch! Followed by the hearty sea food meal, from freshly served to the grilled. Talk of the 'sea-to-table' all in one clip.
I must say this is ONE OF THE BEST videos you made. The view, the ambiance, and the FOOD are so refreshing. My Family love watching your show. Take Care and God Bless!
That's correct, it's only allowed to be taken by recreational fisherman in NSW & Victoria.. However it is commercially farmed in South Australia which is helping take the pressure off wild stocks. According to the Australian government website, this is part of the management plan to rebuild the wild population. Of course Mark knows nothing about all this, he's not Australian or a Fisherman.
you can catch up to 2 if solo and up to 6 with 3+ people in a boat. check yourself the catch limit for recreational fishing in Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) sites.
Hi Mark, my husband and I are huge fans! We’ve been following you since 2019-2020? I believe? We can’t believe you’re in Australia! Hopefully you get to visit the sunshine state of QLD! Be so cool to see you here! Hope you’re enjoying your stay in Australia!
Love how you're showcasing the very best of my hometown. Great Ocean Rd is (rightfully) iconic, but that whole stretch of coast from Mornington to Portsea (past Sorrento) that you flew over by helicopter (what a flex lol) is wonderful too. Sorrento is so beautiful, been there multiple times and glad to see you loved it too! Also, whoever owns that house with the massive backyard that leads right onto the beach with private pier in Sorrento, not to mention the boat, must be a friggin multimillionaire. That is a baller property.
Quite envious of that feast, you can't go wrong with fresh seafood! And what a nice group that hosted the BBQ. Australia is a 20-hour flight away, but it sure seems worth the trip.
if any visits Sorento, there's a ferry service which runs between sorrento and Queens cliff. they are across each other. And you might be lucky to see the dolphins too
Unbelievable house and views. I would cook every day and just sit in that amazing back yard with those spectacular views. So lucky whoever owns it. From Sydney Australia xxxooo. Thank you very much Mark, Mikie and Ying for all the beautiful videos and delicious food.
Thank you for saying that. As a sushi chef in my younger days I was so confused watching that oil get poured all over the fish. Seems unnecessary and over kill to me
I had sashimi fish before but I don't know too much about sashimi. But I would not put all that oil on the fish. Seems like going overboard to me and not being able to taste the fish
Micah is living his best life with his parents!
I am envious of Micah. Lil dude is THRIVING and I love to see it 💜
It is a lesson that enjoying life does not require having a life partner
That lead angler is a serious pro, he made it so easy for Mark and the guests. Props
This man is having a beer at what time in the morning? Nothing more Aussie than that. Great weather, clear blue sea and fishing.
As an Aussie living overseas, this reminds me of the hospitality of my fellow Aussie. So warm!
Im an american working at a private university in midwest. I've met lots of Australians and New Zealanders Maori pacific islanders and even got invited to go pick Opihi in Hawaii. The Pacific people's are really great good people.
I don't think there is anyone on Earth I am more jealous of than Mr Wiens. This man is living the dream!
Well when you get it for free its ok not many of us can afford to eat cheap food just wish he does,nt stuff his mouth with huge amounts of food at one go...
@@raeknock9084 lol well he obviously worked hard to get to that point. He's reaping the benefits of that. That's what enjoying life is about mate

Me too
Man.. the view, the food, the wine, and the company all coming together at the end of the episode... too beautiful! Living to fullest right there.
Absolutely stunning vibes! Highly agreed..
You said it all! Just amazing! Wishing I was there sharing the experience.
Some hot girls missing 😢
Im in Melbourne
fishers man maybe.
Loved how Mark didn't take all the credit for reeling in the Tuna,he complimented everyone on their hard work.💞
That's bc the angler did 95% of the work!
I think this was one of marks most memorable trip,he looked so excited to catch and taste the tuna,brings another appreciation to your food knowing you caught it in its natural habitat.

Been watching your channel for years, but the excitement on your face when you caught that tuna was awesome!! Amazing how big your son is now.
I smiled this entire video. Mark and his family are living the best life has to offer.
Love how zoned in Mark's son was watching his dad reel in that good lookin' fish. He knows there's a good meal coming! 😅
Civvvvvv8iviiviviiviviviiiiiii
That's right. Daddy's bringing home the bacon.
@@rusticbaguette precisely.....
One day Micah will grow up and realize how lucky he is to experience all the adventures he has been on.
This series has made me so proud to be Australian! I definitely take it for granted sometimes but we are so lucky to have such a beautiful country!
Yes you are lucky
Your country😂😂😂
Hear, hear!!
But your food sucks lol

You don't know anything about food diversity of the world.
@@CGRCOOL how is that so?
Are you australia biased? Per chance?
@@yomofo101 I think just a bit naive or perhaps unaware of how many countries Mark has been to 😅
Goodness... fresh and delicious looking food paired great times with new friends! Australia is beautiful!
Beautiful indeed. I keep feeling impressed with these latest episodes!

I was hesitant about travel to Australia, but after this series, I have changed my mind. Thank you Mark for bringing Australia to the forefront.
Beautiful country but their politicians are like dictators. Forcing everyone to get the covid vax, flying drones around to catch people without a mask on, etc. Bunch of communists and Aussies just put up with it.
Hesitant why?

What a great bunch of Aussies! This was so satisfying to watch. I felt like I was part of the party too!
My favourite out of all the aus vlog series!

I did not realize the diversity and rich offerings of Australia until now. I might have to add it to the bucket list. Will we see some koalas?

With a life what Mark is living. Than i also want to smile the whole day 🤣
Yep. This is like the true Aussie experience. Go fishing with your mates while having bevos, get home cook up with some tunes and enjoy your fresh catch for dinner 🤌🏽👏🏽🤤

So happy for you Mark, looking forward to when you visit our state - QLD 🙌🏽
Incredible people for a delectable feast, all the seafood looked amazing, but I have to say, that steak was impressive. 😁

Great to see this fishing technique used.
Great fisherman.
Light Tackle, you have no idea how lucky you were to catch a Tuna this way
No idea

Hey Mark, did you know that the Southern Bluefin Tuna is endangered?
That's correct, it's only allowed to be taken by recreational fisherman in NSW & Victoria..
However it is commercially farmed in South Australia which is helping take the pressure off wild stocks.
According to the Australian government website, this is part of the management plan to rebuild the wild population.

Some of the best food Australia has to offer.
Oh my God! What an awesome video Mark!
Mark, watching this video was one of my favorite ones. Continue blessings and i'll be watching.
Love fishing! Especially with a rod and reel. Off shore fishing is a lot of fun. Freshest way to eat fish
_What an exciting Trip, nice to see your family with you, enjoy!_
This is more down to earth BBQ than the sisters...
Good Morning Mark Wiens 🙌🏽 another delicious food vlog!!
So cool! Glad you enjoyed fish you caught yourself Mark!
Fantastic video, thanks for showing us all these traditionals naturals foods. Thanks for showing this beautiful country of ivory cost.

Forgot to mention, you had me at Bluefin tuna...eat it up...a deep water 🐟 fish. You got this Marko!! Melts in you mouth...ha
Good to see how happy he was with himself after catching the fish!

more chef gigg plz, he is such a cool nice guy and makes incredible foods
😂 when EVERYONE took a bite from that Dino Bone 😅
I read somewhere that bluefin tuna are an extremely endangered species hence encouraging the harvest of farmed tuna. Is this accurate?
I think you’re right but there’s certain seasons etc
As an Australian I'm offended how they ate that sashimi haha
Yeah, that was tuna in an oil slick...😲
Thank you for saying that. As a sushi chef in my younger days I was so confused watching that oil get poured all over the fish. Seems unnecessary and over kill to me
Was thinking the same too. Never seen that much oil or any oil on a sashimi.
@@cameronwong7608 I mean Tuna is a naturally oily fish anyway ! 😕
Why, just why ? 😩
I had sashimi fish before but I don't know too much about sashimi. But I would not put all that oil on the fish. Seems like going overboard to me and not being able to taste the fish
Hell yeah baby back in Victoria, the place to be!
