What I like about your channel is, how you put the information about the size or quantity of the food that you may harvest from the nature, and of course, the information about edible wild plants & mushroom around you. And the duration of the video is just right, not too long or too short. Educative and yet entertaining! Keep up the good work, Chef! 👨🍳
This channel is honestly an inspiration for me to go out myself and forage while camping or something. Love watching this right before bed, always relaxing. Keep it up!
That is so cool. I miss the days in AK finding really big mussels like that...and BIGGER even if you can believe it. We would get them while picking black seaweed, steam em up with many things from beach and feed the whole family. I am really loving what you do here. Please keep it up. Thanks so much for sharing.
HUGE MUSSELS. i love how responsible you are about respecting the laws or whatever you call them of the sea and you always have these cool people that join you
I used to run, walk, hike, bike, think, surf, meditate and relax on that Beach.... God I mis Pacifica!!!! Cheers Brother your VLOG is always fun, educational, delicious and SCENIC!!! Thank you!
Always enjoyed watching your foraging & cooking👍 Thank you mate, I’m a fan here down under. Fresh mussels simply delish! And oh, our Cardigan Corgi has said “woff woff “ a warm hello to your lovely corgi😀❤️
In the beginning of the video you were collecting onion and I noticed some yellow flours. Those flowers and there stem is edible and tastes really good in salads. It’s a little sour with makes it taste really good!
Man you’re doing a lot of collabs! That’s pretty dope. I wouldn’t mind seeing you collab with the same people more than once like fishermens life and any of em really.
Love your videos. Been going through and watching a lot of your older stuff and everything is awesome. Thanks for putting this content together! It's great to see someone demystifying coastal foraging and eating fresh caught seafood. Come to British Columbia and eat some amazing purple dungeness when you can ;)
I always enjoy your foraging videos! For your future posts, can you do a close up of the seaweeds that are being harvested right from the rocks? I wanted to get a better idea of what they look like.
What you want to do whether it's wild onion, mustard, radish etc is, pick the flowers when they're still buds. You see they have fat stems, because they're sending the good stuff up there to make the flower. When it actually flowers, you'll notice the stem gets skinny, because the plant is done sending the good stuff up.
Great information on what type of seaweed we can harvest out here on California. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. What made that meal more enjoyable was that fact that all the ingredients were harvested a few moments before it was prepared. Granted that the crab would have made it more tasty and it wasn't a hand roll, but good meal nonetheless. Especially if it was prepared by a sushi chef! Thanks for the upload.
Yes, always watch the waves.. a friend of mine died a few days ago, by getting washed into the ocean, he was an avid fisherman, who knew his stuff.. but one wave was enough to knock him into the water... Always be safe out there, never turn your back on the waves... As usual awesome video!
Really sorry to hear that! I think we were reading about it the other day. Was this in Humboldt? Taku and I were discussing this on Sunday while shooting a collab vid. We both feel strongly that we need to really start emphasizing more on the safety aspect of what we are doing out in the wilds. Again, very sorry for your loss!
sorry to hear. we have this happening here in new zealand quiet regularly as well. you could wear a blow up life jacket or have someone with floating device on a rope in your team.
You need to invite more down to earth people.. Those were city girls that won’t appreciate simple food .... Can you cook a stingray? Maybe you should try ...
@Andy Arexx-Siharath I personally think the crabs are forming a hivemind and trying to take down his channel to preserve their populations. It's survival through sabotage
@@ianmichael4019 I mean can't we boil down literally every part of social media into that? Everyone on insta wants attention, everyone on fb wants attention, everyone on youtube wants attention, and so on. Hell, our intertidal boi right here wants attention (and gets it by making some cool ass videos) I would personally prefer if nobody was an attention seeker, but I'm not gonna get my butt busted over the 95% of the population who does. It's a losing fight, honestly
@@toasterdrippings I don't want attention, all my stuff is private. I know how to track most people down and find their address, work, phone #, political affiliation in less than 5 minutes. It would blow your mind how much info can be gleaned even off of a semi-private social media presence. I am guessing by your name and photo that you know that too. It blows my mind how much info people share online. I found a way to figure out people's social security numbers too before I even was a teenager. It is fairly easy and that is one reason they are eventually doing away them and why they are randomized now.
You should buy a steamer for your mussels,i love & will only do them that way in the beach where i went foraging. They taste way better steamed & it is so simple to do.
Try using Everglades Original seasoning and Everglades Fish and Chicken seasoning! You can order off of amazon. I use it on everything.. it’s life changing!
i want to see some of the bay area fisherpeople come up to Sacramento and catch and cook the river or into the sierra's and do some river fishing catch and cook :P
Is that bakers beach? I always want to get some mussels but I can never because of those huge waves. Could you share at what beach you got those mussels?
you just gotta do one coastal foraging with Craig Evans man, he will get you on a 3 star michelin meal with lobster or whatever u want him to catch chef !
The big mussel is good but too much sand only because most of them are on the ground u just got to pick all the sand out... And they have this part that is like a little rock or something that its crunchy.. Still good for me tho
we got lots of big (green lipped) mussels in new zealand, and i just eat the soft bits and throw the chewy parts back in the sea. something’s gonna eat it, so no waste!
