Throwing it back to a year ago, working on a Super yacht in Alaska. WOW - what an incredible spot, and the seafood was next level delicious - watch out for the massive halibut.
Tip from an Alaskan: On the next charter when you catch a halibut, try slicing out the gills, put a deep slice into top of the tail - white side, and hang your fish for an hour or two off the side of the boat head down. Don't gut the fish until after it bleeds out. You'll end up with translucent flesh that you can use for sushi, halibut chunks you can drop in bowling water and pull out when they start to float. Then, dips the chunks butter. Better than lobster IMHO! I was an offshore foreman during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill working in Nuka Bay - it's close to being the half-way point between Seward and Homer - we got bored one day and decided to lay out 1/4 of long line to catch halibut. The boat I was on was a 76' seiner that was converted into a mobile boat cleaning operation for ships before they could go to port. We turned that ship into a sailboat with all the halibuts we hag hanging off the crane. Really enjoy your videos!
Absolutely incredible scenery! The true wonders of Alaska - and to actually observe part of the glacier separating and falling into the sea - remarkable! Thank you for sharing, Nina!
Seriously awesome to see Chef Nina & Chef Tilly back together. Sadly this is from last year, but still love it the second time around! Missed you both Chef Nina & Chef Tilly! ❤️😬🤙🏾
THAT…WAS…EPIC!!! Thank you SO MUCH FOR SHARING!! It’s SINCERELY APPRECIATED!! I grew up fishing for lingcod, rockfish, halibut asst. Salmon & crabbing for Dungeness. I know EXACTLY how heavenly fresh spot prawns, lingcod & rockfish are! Thanks again Chef! Here’s to your good health and many happy adventures to come! ❤️💐🎉🍾🥂
What a remarkable video thank you very much for sharing and posting this👍😎 I like the Helly Hansen jackets, number one gear IMO , my wife and I wear them all the time when needed
Aw! Tis reminded me of when I would go deep sea fishing out of Southern California. The trip organizer was best friends with a local restaurant owner who was also into fishing. As the boat's crew would carve up what we caught from the trip, the restaurant owner would announce to the rest of us that he would exchange any unwanted fish for vouchers to his restaurant. Thanks for the memories!
So great you included all the wildlife and cascading glaciers. Those baby humpbacks were born in the Hawaiian islands! Look how far they had to go for you to see them❤❤❤
And this is why you won the 2022 ACREW award for best social media yachtie!!!! The drone footage in the 2nd half of the video was great (the second time ;) ). In addition to Tilly, I also miss 2nd Engineer Mark he was funny! I wish you could've done more content with your stews, they seemed like a nice and fun bunch. Finally, I owe this video to starting to eat Halibut at home, but every so often! IT is expensive!! Love this Nina, thanks for the editing and reposting!!
Okay so I had to stop the video and just come down to the comment section to day OMG, THIS CONTENT IS GOLD! I have never been "mesmerised" watching a Vlog. SO SO SO COOL thank you so much for making extra efforts on top of your already hectic job to plan and film it for us!! truly appreciate it!!
Love your videos, I can’t wait to start yachting! Only been In Palma a couple weeks, trying to get my first season in and as much as I was losing hope. Your videos have given me the lifeline to carry on pushing !! Thank you
Great to see you and Mathilde together again in another episode! Please slow down the view of the final product of the food you make so we can get a better of what it looks like. That fresh seafood is impressive!
The only dream I had and still is to go to Alaska on a big yacht, like this one. My hope to achieve this before I die is remote due to few reason. But I’m not giving up on that till last minute of my life.
Absolutely amazing your making the catch, if I were to stay on it for a trip I would definitely opt for fishing and serving what was caught, it makes the trip that much more special. Awesome job and nice footage 👍
i follow ur channel and watching ur videos from long time . and really I can say that you are super fabulous crew , and you are part of a great team . i am planning to buy an explorer , will keep in mind about ur energetic nature, at the time of recruiting my crew . i am in doubt that will I get an energetic chef like u or not . u r increasing the level of my expectation and a benchmark and quality of hiring for the position of my head chef crew. stay happy , live long .
One complaint: it would have nice to hear the cracking - the thunder- of the glacier and the sound of the ice hitting the water. But we had to listen to the music. Other than that… LOVED this episode.
Great show.. TY.... Scenary is breath-taking....be great to do a outdoor cooking show there..... once remember my captain caught a massive tuna at the back of the yacht...when fileting the flesh was still body warm temperature..... fond memories ❤️
That video was amazing. Your Drone shot of the Whales bubble net feeding was incredible. You are so lucky. Alaska is beautiful. The fish were huge and your fish Tacos looked delicious 😋.
Great video, been there on cruise ships, not so close. The big factor is hope for a cloudy day so the glaciers look like windex blue because on sunny days they look clear. Great shots of whales, just fantastic. Great job with you videos. We have been there many times and will do a deep dive by driving later this summer. Thanks.
Ran a yacht out Seattle before it turned all woke back in the 80’s and then we went to Cabo in the winters great memories fishing for marlin and tuna and halibut in Alaska it goes by in the blink of an eye I’m 65 and retired now thanks for the videos so well done love the crew too
