One of the BEST EATING FISH | Tropical Island Catch and Cook 

For a dude with no boat Taku sure gets a lot of time on the water. Love the videos!

Jocelyn telling Taku "let's take a photo, together, with our fish" was probably the funniest thing I've ever heard on this channel.🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽

What a sweet, shy doggie ❤Looks like he needs someone to love him.

Team work makes the dream work taku prepping the fish and Jocelyn scraping the coconut in the background.

Love how you passed the rod to your wife on the first fish of the day! As always your food looks amazing!

In Samoa, we call that Coconut rice, "Alaisa fa'apopo" and the coconut fish we call "Sua I'a". Polynesians have been eating it for ages. Glad you got to enjoy it!

Coconut session reminded me of growing up in the Philippines. Thanks for the memories

Just picked up your Kelp Chile Crisp in little Ole Brookings oregon. Wow man!

Your wife scrapping the coconut like a bro😅 Fishing in our small island is always fun❤😂

I caught a wahoo when I was a kid. Still remember it as some of the best sashimi I ever had.

Seeing a cross section filet was so cool! To see the knife so finely trace along the bone is a true art!

What are the chances!!! Met Jocelyn n Taku on the street of our home town in Aotearoa... hey Taku the invitation to Matakana Island stands Bro xx Jocelyn... we love ya girl. Keep doing your thing xx

Cheers to you guys, thanks for bringing us along while you're out on these adventures.

You two are livin the dream. Island life. What a meal!❤🤤 Thanks Taku and Jocelyn! Happy travels!

My father-in-law taught me the first knuckle thing when cooking rice, so I haven’t measured the water in over 20 years. The first time my mother saw me do it, she thought I was crazy until she noticed my rice was always fluffy and perfectly cooked. Glad to see others using the same method!

Taku, the coconut cream rice is what we called "Nasi Lemak", minus the garlic. and if you add curry powder to the Wahu dish, you will get what we called as "kari ikan" or curry fish. we also usually include the head too.

Love every one of your videos. I've learned so many different cooking techniques and you've given me so many new ideas for cooking.

@OutdoorChefLife Hey Taku! My wife and I recently moved from Brazil to Oregon. TODAY, we saw a World Market store and finally got to buy a Chili Crisp! OMG! So good! Thank you so much! We started following you since 2020, and so far we haven't missed a single episode. We wish you and Jocelyn a great 2024! Leandro & Jazelle.-

Oh my gosh.... That water is soooo pretty. Looks like an enormous swimming pool! :o Also, very interesting to see the filleting process from a cross-section. xD I legit feel smarter now because that's typically not the perspective you see that process from! :D

Taku, I hope you both have a wonderful Holiday season. Cheers, Rik Spector

Always fruitful. Very enjoyable viewing your fishing ventures. Especially the cook and eat. Brilliant ❤❤😊

what a banger of a episode today man i loved every second of this one thanks taku

If ever you had a perfect transition for an ad by manscaped it'd be at 14:29.

Probably the coolest fillet tutorial I’ve ever seen!

Can always tell the character of someone by how they treat animals, especially ones that aren't in the best situation and need some love. You're good people!

I missed out on the first knife offering, so I ordered one of the first ones on this run. It’s ludicrously sharp and has maintained the edge with frequent use! Thanks for the great content and super high quality products!

Look at that unbelievable blue water. Absolutely gorgeous.

Soooo much fun and creative food ideas! Y'all absolutely rock Merry Christmas and many blessings. K.T.

Love your show ! Amazing ....I've learned a lot of refreshing from you. Thanks.

I cant imagine the chaos at the local boat ramp if people had to operate a crane to launch their boats here lmao. People struggle to back a trailer down the ramp. there'd be boats getting dropped, utes and trailers in the ocean and people getting crushed left right and center.

Try to grill or burnt the coconut before you scrape it to add smokey flavor. It's good too.

Another excellent vedio from the Island on Niue. Thankyou Taku and your beautiful wife crating the coconut after you husking it with that sharp steel. Wow extracting that fresh milk was Wesome. Your cooking is out of this world, as you cook what you catch. Thankyou for taking us with you. From New Zealand

Definitely one of my favourite eating fish. Only had one but it was amazing!

Made marinated soft boiled eggs for the first time last night, and used the paper towel trick i learned from you to get an even color. Turned out incredible, thanks for the tip taku

Thanks for sharing Taku and Jocelyn. Love the fishing in Niue.

Taku and jocelyn deserve a travel dog! sucha good loving boy in this video

The food looks delicious!!!! You inspire me to cook for seafood!

love it. what a cute lil doggo too

Hey Taku , I was the Scraper and the Juicer , even when we left Niue and went to NZ !!!… I husked I scraped I juiced … when you’re the youngest like I was ☹️ everyone promoted me to all 3 🙄☹️ and theres actually “ A RYTHYM “ to the Scraping Jocelyn 😆 you will definitely get that rythym when you scrape long enough 😂💃🏼 Glad to see youre NOT standing on the cliff top fishing again Taku 👍 that was heart attack stuff watching you do that 👀 how about some Ota and Misi too Taku 😋 I miss Niuean food .. Misi with breadfruit and fried fish 😋😋😋 any Niuean food will be good right now 😍😛

Wow so amazing...The fishing results are immediately cooked and enjoyed eating with my beloved wife, I really like your channel 👍🙏🙏

I CAN ALMOST TASTES THE BEERS WHEN TAKU DRINKS FIRST GULP!!!!!😂👌👍👊😛

I don’t even eat a lot of fish but I sure can watch my man cook it!

Another classic chug! Love your videos!

You guys should check out the east cost of Canada next summer, St Johns NL, Cape Breton Island, PEI. Lots of beautiful fishing towns all over.

LOVE YOU TAKU, drop days are the best days!!

The coconut scraping in the background is a vibe lol

The captain caught you two nice fish lol

All I can say is wow! That looked so good!

Another excellent video Taku! Wahoo is by far my favorite pelagic fish to eat. Sashimi is the best!

Taku can you do a video of all your outdoor equipment and small accessories you use like food bags etc. I’m tryna get into outdoor cooking

I purchased that purple knife and used it for Thanksgiving. Sharp!!!!

If only a restaurant here offered what you've made. Yum

Looking forward to your cookbook.

Nice to live a good life you both can enjoy.

glad u shared great lookin meal

Awesome video as always good job taclyn

Glad to see you enjoying barracuda. They are great table fare. Fears of ciguatera are overblown.

Hated husking and grating coconuts as a kid. I miss it now.

Love your guys videos hope to visit beautiful Niue island❤

Thats awesome!

i had so many wahoo steak wen i was a kid. still to do this day i think its the best fish i've ever eaten. fried and dipped with sweet chilli sauce

Love this video. It makes me miss hawaii so much. It's crazy how the accent in New Zealand is so close to Hawaiian but yet so different.

Smoked Cuda is the way to go!!! An old timer once told me that the Cuda is an oily fish and smoking it was the way to go. He was right. I heavy smoked it with mesquite and it was fire 🔥

Man that’s a Beautiful Wahoo!

Happy for you but so jealous of that catch… well deserved, congratulations 🍻

Fuck yeah taku!!! I was here at 80k subs!!! I haven't been here in a while and noticed your at 700k!!! Well deserved my baydestrian!!! Oakland to vallejo to San Francisco!!!!

I just picked up two jars of Kelp chili crisp. Can't wait to try it.

You guys rock now my peasant meal of Dungeness crab and Artichokes will pale in comparison thanks for another wonderful video 👌

I had it sliced into fillets crusted with crushed macadamia and saute’d in butter! It was so amazeing!

You’ve been taught the hard way of husking coconut my friend, anyways awesome vid as always Taku💪🏽🤙🏽

Nice vid man like always

man that Wahu was not getting in the boat knocking cups and saucers over lol (imagine in the kitchen lol)

nice boat as well!!

That boat launch 👌🏼

That Blue water is so beautiful.

beautiful waters must be deep to have wahoo so close to shore.

That wahoo dish in fresh coconut milk is fit for the King of Niue :) Awesome video.

With Jocelyn’s luck it’s a pb 😂 4:23

Hafa adai from Guam. I'm a new subscriber I love your channel.

Head to the Limu pools Taku, excellent swimming and snorkeling.

Hi from mike A. From LA.CA. HEY guys. Those fish where huge. Im not a cocunut fan. But this was still a good video. And it always kills me when Taku you drink your first beer at the beginning you love it so much you almost could drink the WHOLE beer in one gulp.

love you guys

When Taku was cutting up that fish, you could here Jocelyn in the background sawing wood!😅😅

Ono is such a great tasting fish

its pretty smart of you to move or visit places that are abundant in fish so you can keep making videos..

Love the vids man I can't believe how many rods and stuff you have to dodge well trying to cast they need to get some of them out of the way

that's excellent fishing

Yea Boy

Damm that food looked good awesome vlog

I used to say bacon makes everything better, but you've shown how coconut cream can do it, too. Glad Ian came back to get some fish for family. Jocelyn pretty in pink

You should try some Colombian style coconut rice with the fresh grated coconut!!!

it’s another awesome video 😊😊😊

Awesome video

Dude you should look into the Northern Mariana Islands! Would be an epic trip for sure !

Nice video Taku...that wahoo was vicious. I give you a solid 8 on the Taku Beer Chug Meter

Can’t believe you didn’t eat the wahoo sashimi has to be one of the top fish but still love the videos man ❤

Gonna go fishing in HI next week.. hope to catch some wahoo!

Hooray!

Went wahoo fishing today in niue on a charter and was super surprised when my guide cliff said barracuda are good eating in niue, I assumed all barracuda have worms like the ones we have in New Zealand

Ono(wahoo)for me is one of the fish for seviche,just don’t over cooked it with lime,lemon or vinegar just enough to start soaking the inside still fresh.Head and bones for soup lots of tomatoes red pearl onions with watercress or sweet potato leaves,yummy.
