Coastal Foraging: Rare Find In Northern California Coast!! Making Ceviche 

I don't see any comments talking about the dedication that you put into this video with this voice over. I have mad respect for you.

Here in Spain to tenderize the octopus we freeze it, and then to avoid it losing the skin we "scare" it, dipping it in the boiling water and taking it out for a few seconds, repeating this for three times more or less, and then boiling it at low heat for 30-45 min for a 2-4 pounder. The result is a tender, and kind of slimy meat which is very appreciated here. For more info google "pulpo a la gallega" which means more or less, Galician style octopus. It is served with the greenest olive oil, sliced boiled (in the octopus water) potatoes and sweet paprika.

Avocado cutting skills on point

Seriously, your talent as a sushi chef + your enjoyment of foraging and skills in video editing make you really unique from other channels I’ve seen. I’m really looking forward to everything you produce in the future :)

Pro tip for agua chile: rest the onions in lime juice as you prepare everything else so that you reduce the strong onion flavor

the precise avocado cutting just made me internally happy!!

Guaranteed, you’ll reach at least 200K by the end of the year 🙌🏾

You really saved this video with tasteful music, perfect low volume, and well done voice over. You’re an awesome RU-vidr, but I appreciate your humility and heartfelt thanks to your viewers. Your catch and cook is always fascinating even to this vegetarian lol

Dude, out of all the catch and cook channels, you have the best cooking, HANDS DOWN! Super impressive. Also, really happy to see the good knife technique. I’ll watch some other channels and I freak out over how they handle knives lol. Great vid, as always!

In behalf of all girlfriends at work, thank you for saving some for us. LOL

Taku you need so many more videos, I so love watching you and your lady. Love your videos. Thank u.

Every once in awhile I’ll come back to this video . Everything about this video is so comforting , and mouth watering to watch .

Glad I saw you on fishermenlife channel. I honestly wouldn't even mind if you bought food from the store and did cooking segments as well

I can see RU-vid algorithm is finally giving me better videos. I’m about to binge watch all your videos.

I couldn't care less if its not technically ceviche it looks delicious!

I’ve been watching your videos non stop now and I’ve always loved cooking and i love getting new ideas for things to make for my own food business, so im adding sushi and ceviche to my menu! Thanks taku all the love to you and i admire your work

It's so nice to see a catch and cook RU-vidr who can actually.. you know.. cook :D

I know of desert foraging etc in the Arizona deserts, but these coastal finds are incredibly abundant

I love learning about all of the edible ocean life. Thank you again for doing your videos, I think it’s great to learn about what it is you’re cooking and not just watching you cook

I am a chef myself as a career and I have found your videos very fascinating. Love the forging idea to make recipes and find new foods in general. Very good job!

Love this guy . Has respect for the size and age of the food ❤️❤️

That looked delicious. Sometimes it is tricky to cook octopus perfectly but you still did a great job! Love your videos!❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🐠🐠🐠

Your videos make me so happy. It’s like... seafood meets 24/7 lofi beats to chill/ relax to

the sound, the music choice, and your soothing voice really makes these videos perfect. I especially like how it's not a "in your voice" youtube personality too, just a chill kind of vibe

I'll trade the octopus for the dungeeees 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 Love the videos my brother. California love ✌😎👍🇺🇸

I keep watching these vids wondering when I’m going to go out and do this myself!

I love everything about this channel! He has such a beautiful and calming personality. ❤

Hi Taku, thanks for all these great videos. Learning a lot about foraging the sea and will use this knowledge when I start my semi retirement travels next year. Side note: my son (20) and I (62) just returned from two weeks of snorkeling in La Paz, BCS. The seafood there is amazing. We had wood fire grilled whole octopus and also ceviche of octopus, clams, shrimp and fish. Learning so much about how to forage the sea and how you prepare these delicacies. Keep'm coming very much appreciated. Oh...when we left San Jose de Cabo airport it was 28 and when we landed in Winnipeg Manitoba it was -30, back to reality. Steve, Ste Anne, MB, Canada

Dude I’m gonna be honest you are the most underrated RU-vidr I’ve seen yet ur videos everyone I have watched have been amazing keep it up 👍🏻😁

you sir have just won another subscriber, thank you for knowing the dish's name, that is a legit aguachile and the fact the you named it as such for some reason makes me happy. When I was in Japan I really wanted to make some and show it to the people a hung out with there but I never had the chance.
