PICKLED HERRING SUSHI | Amazing Catch, Clean, Fillet, and Pickle Spawning Herring 

Taku’s a naturally creative person, turning every dish into a work of art

15:55 I’m gonna roll up these herring like a bluhhh.... uh cinnamon roll 😂

Brilliant that you included the FDA advice about freezing to eliminate parasites - well done!!! I’m a food safety consultant btw

Thanks for fishing with us ! (It’s me Julius, Heather’s son)

here we have different "pickled" types of herring to preserve it for breakfast, sandwiches, snacks, etc. eaten cold: 1) pickled with vinegar, sugar, pepper, mustard seeds, bay leaves, juniper berries, onions, etc. (taste is _slightly_ sour. meat looks grey) (german word: "Bismarck Hering" or "Rollmops") 1.1) another version is to batter the herring with flour and fry it BEFORE pickling it. this way you get a roasted taste and different consistency combined with the pickling taste. (german word: "Brathering") 2) pickled in a light salt brine. it's a slight fermentation process based on lactic acid that's forming. (taste is soft and hearty, little salty. meat looks pinkish) (german word: "Matjes") 3) pickled in a heavy salt brine (>20% salt). This is to make it extreme long lasting but also you need to put the fishes in normal water and keep them for at least some hours to reduce the salt. Probably my least favorite way because taste gets really watered down or is too salty. (taste is salty or kinda plain. meat looks grey) (german word: "Salzhering") 4) not really pickled but in a tomatoe based sauce and then locked in glasses steamed (preserved) to make it long lasting. This you often find as canned food in grocery stores as well (herring is cooked, texture is way different) (german word: "Heringfilet in Tomatensauce") You said you tried some herring in amsterdam. I'm pretty sure it was Matjes then as it's (at least from my knowledge) really popular in the netherlands as well. Maybe that's why you tried to color it by using your red onions ;) Also here we often have the herring without head and gutted but with the backbone, fins and everything still on it. So no need to filet them when having smaller fishes. The bones get broken down during the pickling and you don't even recognize them anymore. Another great way we eat herring over here is to fry it up in a kind of tempura batter or coated in flower. Crispy from the pan you don't recognize the small bones and it's really good! If you get your hands on more herring, give it a try! :) Greetings from germany and thanks again for your content!

My mans Taku lit in Amsterdam eating pickled herring lol life ya life chef🤙

"That's a pancake right there!" I love your enthusiasm Taku. Hey when are we going to see some van build on Taklyn??

Ogh dear, the endless sea of ad's will turn you of YT, love seeing and learning how delicious meals can start with a simple line... 🎣

Shiny hooks unbeatable for herring The herring chops in the sunset. It is rare to see herring catches in the sport fishing media, but the fact is that it is the herring that attracts thousands of fishermen to the coast. Right now you can take it from the sea ice. I have never seen such an outclassing in fishing. Ten-fifteen years ago I met a group of anglers originating from Vietnam who were absolutely outstanding in fishing herring from the ice. When the rest of us, at best, managed to scrape together about twenty herring on a fishing trip, these anglers caught so much that they supplied friends and acquaintances with deliciously fresh fish. Fishing for herring with a line can appear so simple that it is not really fishing. Nothing could be more wrong. Sure, on some days the herring will attack basically anything that is small and moves seductively in the water. Other days it can be close to impossible to attract. On such days it may be an idea to test different hedges. Everything from tiny hooks to mackerel hooks in the smallest sizes can work. Personally, I always have a couple of micro hooks with size 16 hooks. They have saved me many times when I needed fresh bait or when we wanted to have herring for dinner. But sometimes nothing beats a blank hook, I learned that from the Vietnamese anglers.

Been watching since you quit your day job to pursue RU-vid and you've improved so much. Your editing and content is great and you're halfway to a mill. Congrats Taku.

You accidently put together an ASMR video and I am here for it.

Excellent vid, Taku! You folks are a charming couple and I'm elated that Joslyn has appeared more frequently with you lately. She is a gracious and lovely lady!

Even though I went to culinary school, I’ve learned so much from you . You truly are an inspiration !

" I was also how who say not sober" 😂 Had to laugh at that one... Just didn't wanna say the word..

When I live in Cali (30 years ago) We'd go after them. I remember one year, I caught 300 lbs in one trip. Pickled, smoked, canned. froze... I LOVE HERRING

Sometimes when you’re done preparing the food it just looks too pretty to eat. But then when y’all do eat it, I wish I was there. Y’all are great together and y’all make me laugh too.

Don't normally like pickled herring, but the way this sushi is made really looks delicious.

This man’s food is so beautiful it makes me cry.

God I can never out that much time and effort into eating a piece of fish. More power to this guy though I can watch this all day

It was great hearing how delighted Jocelyn sounded when Taku pulled in that catch! Those dishes looked beautiful and delicious as always, Tak!

You should start your own food truck. Use a double decker English metro bus and make "Street Sushi". That would be so unique!!!

Herring! My favorite fish, especially lightly brined raw herring. A Dutch classic! Pickled and brined are two very different ways to eat it btw! I think brined is te way to go.

I have a mixed Slavic ancestry, which includes Polish and Ukrainian. I grew up eating pickled herring. I love it. What you prepared looks so good. Cheers!

In northern regions of germany and the netherlands, we are eating salty hering in soft buns with just a letters and white onion

8:55 excellent job of cleaning, packaging and getting your catch ready👍👍👍👍👍

They're awesome with boiled potatoes, chopped red onion, sourcream and browned butter... (not all swedish herring is surströmming and not all swedes eat it, just in the northern parts...)

Amazing... watched this more than once ☺️

Here in Denmark we usually eat pickled herrings on ryebread, super tasty. Cant wait until march when the herrings can be caught

I'm addicted to this video now especially before meal time

I really liked the 4 way video when you were cutting the fish. Sensory overload seems to be the secret to this generations attention span :) I love your channel I have watched every vid almost

I LOVED the voice over and the info about birds. its weird but a really nice touch

Taku with the 4 angle flex haha amazing bro!!! The herring looked so good man

I love pickled herring with sour cream sauce on a toasted baguette with olive oil, butter, cilantro, topped with green olive, and red and green bell peppers, sprinkled with a bit of paprika. 😋😋😋❤❤❤

In poland herring is very popular. With a shot of Polish vodka, of course

my day consists of rewatching your videos and i never get bored

The skill involved in filleting fish this size and to actually maintain the integrity of the fillet's themselves is incredible! It would be a dream come true to eat your food Taku!

Crazy I’ve been here since 20k subscribers súper excited at the growth of the channel keep up the good work Taku

Wow!!! I'm so glad to watch herring sushi. I thought herring sushi is my own creation!😁 I have just started working with Feature Foods which sells pickled herring in North America. We want to export this to Asia and that's how I got involved (I'm Korean and our first target market in Asia is Korea). I was searching for the ways to market this healthy and delicious pickled herring which is very unknown to Korea. That's how I come up with herring sushi and I made RU-vid videos with herring sushi with my husband few times. Because my husband and I were not chefs, I was always wondering about how people would take herring sushi even though my family love them so much. You wouldn't imagine how happy I am to watch this video, especially, from the RU-vidr I always enjoy to watch. Thank you for such great and fun videos. Very enjoyable!

Ohhh that cooking location looks like another planet

I never listen to male ASMR but watching and listening to you prepare those herring has that relaxing ASMR effect

bro.i could watch you prep fish for days!.such a masterful touch and obvious care you take to ensure the best final product and present the fish with so beauty to honour your catch.sushi lord!

This video deserves a like just based on how time consuming this seems. Loved the video, top notch as always!

I dont know when was the last time I watched a 30 min youtube video without fast-forwarding. This video is a blessing.

I truly wish I can try all the dishes you make, Taku. They all look delicious. Hope to bump onto you and Jocelyn in the future.

Too funny, Jocelyn made eye contact. Enjoyed the vid.

I've said it before I'll say it again knife skills incredible!

It truly is like watching an artist paint.. but you get to eat your art. Great Amsterdam story
