FILLETING BASICS | Catch and Cook | Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Walu, Wahoo 

I have consumed insane amount of sailing vids in winters.(summers I am out sailing). THis is the best of all worlds, locations, personalities, flow, editing. Next Level.

Ben: We watch a number of sailing videos each week and you are by far "Da Man" when it come to catching fish, and Ashley you the the "Queen" in the kitchen. Love your videos. Be safe, Barney

Yall are the Best!! The way you connect with us viewers is delightful. Keep cranking out this amazing content, much love from Austin TX. ♡

Here in the philippines we call the fish marinated with lemon or vinegar, black pepper, chilis, its kinilaw.... but when you cook it with coconut cream, chilis etc etc.. we called it bicol express! Its really hot and super delicious!!! Mabuhay sailing nahoa, Ben and Ashley!

Ben...Great explanation on the filet aspect of a sea monster. I used to fish for croppies as a kid but my dad or uncle always fileted everything I caught. This is great advice if I'm going to become a sailor and catching fish! HA! Also, super nice job on the recipe. Made me hungry at 11pm. Glad to see you clipped in being a safe sailor when under sail on the back of the boat. I wish others would follow your example! PEACE OUT! Ü

Wife and I received our Nahoa shirts in the mail today . Excellent !!! Thanks guys !!!

That looks amazing! I can't wait to get out there and try making our own! Y'all are great!

It is so nice to hear people use the word “eh” properly. Great videos guys thanks

I’m so glad I found your channel ❤️

You guys are a great couple!Thanks for sharing you adventurous life!

Love Kinilaw recipe! Love all your vids too! Keep it up! 😍

Sounds like Ceviche with coconut milk. Cool recipe, thanks! Nice catchings too!

I’ve never seen your method of filleting. Skin, cut out bloodlines and then fillet all on the bone. Fantastic! Thanks

thank you for taking us with you in your adventure... we really enjoy it...

Concerning the fish... My Filipina wife makes this every once and then... I am starving for it, so much. With raw fish it is called Kinilaw.

Ok, I have watched a LOT of your videos. With a LOT more to go! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your video series!!!!! However, the fishing videos, what if you wanted something like shrimp? Have you ever tried, more importantly HOW would you do something like that?!?!?!?!

Thank you for these videos! These are great tips for anyone who is never had to process their own catch.

Ohh! wow your dish is like Kinilaw in Philippines :) My dad used to make like that :) But the different is he marinate it first in some vinegar and lemon just few minutes and after that you need squeeze it gently and you can add your ginger,coconut milk,onion, and some lemon juice, red chilies and that's it a very yummyyy hope you can try it :) Sorry if my English not good :)

Yet another great video guys! learnt some good some tips, thanks.

Instead of a thumbs up button, I wish you had a love button. You guys are good.

Need more detailed instruction video of filleting different fish or a video of the different types of fish in the South Pacific!! Love it!

I never get tired watching your videos.

The fish stew looks so delicious.

Oh Gosh... that looks so good! I'd die to have dinner with you two in the wonderful place you just showed us. Wonderful!

You two are shooting some great videos!!

Spanish Mackeral. Yummo. On of the most sought after pelagics in Oz.

Hey Ashley, try fish ceviche, fresh catch, add lots of ginger, onions, lemon, salt and pepper, chili and that's it, the best I can you.

Awesome! So to recap, all you needed to cook/cure the fish was to soak it in lemon & lime juice for a couple of hours?

Interesting recipe! I’m a huge ceviche fan so this just looks - super rich? But would like to try it one day. Thanks for the fileting lessons!

I’ve waited so long for this!!!!! Thank youuuu!!!

GUYS, RE : FISHING Me & a pal were once fishing & we had been out all day with no luck. So, we decided to motor back to the marina. Enroute, we saw a spot which looked like it MIGHT hold a fish. So we stopped & threw in our lines. BAM!! Right away I had one on! He was a fighter! He would run & strip almost all the line off my reel. Then I would crank & crank & crank him in & when he got close to the boat, I guess he got his second wind, because he did another run stripping most of my line off again. Well, he did this several times until FINALLY he tired & we were able to bring him up to the boat. MAN! What a monster this guy was! He was sooo big & heavy the both of us could not lift him into the boat !! So, we decided to beach the boat & hopefully we could drag him up onto shore. Well, that did not work. He was too heavy. So, what we did was, we decided that at least we should take a picture of him. You know what ? He was So big, Hell, the picture alone weighed 8 pounds !! !

SOOOOO AMAZING! Cheers from Frozen Saskatchewan

Love all your videos and adventures!!!

@ 2:41 the spine is great for consommé as well, we drink it mostly when we fill sick or after a hangover etc.

i like seeing you catch the fish too.you guys are a cool couple. love your videos.time for a beer now. thanks.

Another super fun video to watch... thanks guys and best from HKG

The hotter the sauce, the better!

Spanish Mackerel. Love you guys. Peace be thy journey.

Walu??Spanish Mackerel or King Mackerel (Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel to be exact) Sought after fish around the world especially here in Thailand where your boat is at the moment. Hopefully you can get back to it soon.

More awesomeness! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Try adding a little of the 'sauce' to your ricewater for steaming...adds incredible richness to the rice, and the fat in the sauce means you don't really need to adjust your measurements much! Let me know if you try it!

My dream is to own a Sailing boat wether it’s catamaran or mono hull,but it is very expensive for me,a simple person living in Philippines,I really enjoy watching your vlogs guys,I am one of your admirer subscribers,GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS

The meal looked incredible. Well done.

Whoa! You mean the ocean is salty! NO WAY! ;D

In the Indian Ocean those are called queen mackerel and are the most common pelagic species we catch. You can get them up to 20 kegs but most are 6-10 kegs. Here in mozambique the locals call them “ Serra”

Mean while... I'm in ME freezing cold as a watch you guys catch fish lol. Be safe guys❤

You guys rock waited all week for your video

Awesome info and video! Im taking more mental notes, for when I get to sail away from the "matrix". lol

In America that fish is called king fish or king mackerel

Recipe: I never heard of that. Thanks for the enlightenment! Will try definitely.

You should also before cutting the fish up throw in in the cooler with ice an pour a bucket of salt water in cool let it sit for a few hours an its like a pre salt brine you wont regret it awesome vid guys

I remember having poisant cru when I visited Tahiti. I remember that I couldn’t eat enough! I was hungry a half hour later!

If you catch another fish that has an oily texture try smoking the fish then make fish dip from the smoked fish!!! I had some done like that and it’s really good. I will not eat oily fish any other way.

That drone really gets up their.

Good tips you guys, thanks!

hehe And add Beer ..... im so Jelly, im eatting a bologna sandwich an drinking watermelon strawberry flavored water want to trade? LOL You Guys Keep Rocking!!!

In utter awe!

The fish looks like a spanish mackerel? I suppose it depends where you come...in the UAE eg its called kingfish...in South Africa a cuda and in West Australia nick name Mackie...(spanish mackerel). Good catch...

Sounds like killer recipe, Fiji ceviche..

So when you serve this dish over rice, do you heat it up? I just made it today. Haven't eaten yet. And it seems strange that it would be cold and the rice hot.

It you have a beautiful fillet and in the past the fish has had more of a fish taste than you care for soak the fillets in MILK for at least 1 hr to over night to remove the fishy taste. It really works. My favorite is fresh trout soaked for 1 hour fried in butter. OMG

That is a Spanish Mackerel and its beautiful. In many parts off the world its known as king fish.

WANTED: ONE LOVELY LADY WITH BOAT TO SAIL AROUND THE WORLD WITH ME. SEND PIX OF BOAT.

Have you considered getting an easy to set up fish filleting table?

Throw the fishbone with the leftover meat on the bbq, its the best!

Awesome relationship you guys have..... I've fished with some girlfriend's before and by the end of the day wanted to use them as bait(haha)...............no I really mean it.....

Once again, you guys nailed it! Fantastic videos! Saltwater with fish >> Osmosis >> Adds moisture (water content) to the flesh. Ditto with chicken or pork Walu : A word of CAUTION! Walu in Fiji is a "Narrow-Barred Mackerel", Scomberomorus commerson Walu in Hawaii is "Escolar", Lepidocybium flavobrunneum It is *NOT* the same fish. Escolar can be toxic due to wax ester. Narrow-Barred Mackerel = Yes + yummy Escolar = Not recommended. Side effects can be...kinda shitty.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar

great video!

The name of this specie is Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel, steamed Hongkong style with Soya and Ginger or steamed with Nyonya sauce (Malay style sauce) is awesome!

I always enjoy watching, eh!

Omega-3's fantastic.

ash really remiinds me of the actress gillian anderson

So a walu is a mackerel that’s cool.

love youre work...

AWESOME🤩🤩🤩

I didn't know Will Ferrell did adventures like this!

we prepare this kinda recipe almost exactly the same in the Philippines, we call it kinilaw and we prefer king fish

We call that Rundown in Jamaica.

Delicious video!

Add some chopped dill (when available) and drop the coconut for a great gravalax.

These guys look so healthy

Great Videos

try a ;ittle malt vineger add with salt and black pepper rftr the coconut cream then all ur bell peppers cucumber n whatever else u like

Any concerns with Ciguterra on the walu?

Awe , ya made me jealous , seeing all those fishies and that lovely fishin gear , I have a great recipe for raw fish , its called numis , thanks heaps for a great vid , stay safe

You only do filleting with the fish?

Always the best

Walu is a mackerel in Australia or other places in the pacific that have them

Thanks for sharing 😎

In English, they call King mackerel, in Malay they call "Tenggiri" its al very delicious fish. tq

Looks like you could use a ceviche recipe for this fish too.

Over the rail and in the pail, off to the dock to make the $ale! #wickedtuna

we have a version lots of lime chilis onions tomatoes. kinda like ceviche., white meat like wahoo

At 5:37 , that Mahi looked so sick of your isht, lol. Thanks for the info!

An important question?? How do you avoid storms?

Ah, coconut milk, lime lemon, onions fish and I cannot get it anywhere in in the mainland! Same goes for poke. Have to fly to Hawaii to get anything like this. You guys are killing me. I'm going to smoke some pork ribs and pig out - take that.

Tight lines and bent rods!

What system do you utilize to keep connected to INTERNET WWW?

That made me hungry. Ceviche is so good and I love it with coconut milk.

That’s actually in the mackeral family. Not the wahoo fam
