Off the hook! What a bunch of lucky guys to have you prepare such a meal.

Just like Taku this man will never starve, even his friends won’t either …an always makes it look good !!!

I mean, just, DAMN. You killed it man! what an amazing spread!

Kia ora Taku. Great to see more NZ content. Loved what you did with all the seafood. Just something some of us Maori do with the cream paua is we mix the stomach in with the cream mix, it boosts the flavour. I actually thought you might do it. Anyway I was salivating, drooling while watching you prep this one. Oh another thing we do is wrap the crayfish and Bury it raw for a few days, smells strong but some of us love it this way. A bit like what the Inuit people do with seal. Great to see you and Jocelyn still here. More to see brother.

“Kia Ora “ Māori greeting to you Taku- There is a Māori indigenous story around paua with which I am happy to share on your return to Aotearoa. “Paua to the people” 😂

I actually enjoy watching your channel now more than most of my other subscriptions. Keep up the good work mate. Love watching your NZ series in our beautiful country here. Giving me ideas of recipes to use on our local fish :)

Taku creates a welcoming environment that brings people together wherever he goes, even if he is visiting. That spread looked amazing.

Great to see you in my home town - not easy conditions but you guys did well... my top fav food vid of yours to date. Safe travels :)

wow, instantly one of my all-time favourite Outdoor Chef Life videos. what a feast!

Abalone is one of my favorite things on the planet. I used to order this fried abalone sandwich 2x a week from this restaurant of all places, in Reno Nevada. Phenomenal.

It looks like Taku found a long-lost sibling. Or maybe he's interviewing for a double? lol What an amazing spread. Left me drooling, though when Taku makes food, that's just normal.

Man o Man what a great show. All great fish'n folks catching and eating fresh from the ocean. Good job!

🌴 hey Taku & Jocelyn, the free dive is interesting, when you dive all these places it’s interesting to see the different bottom structures from one area of the world to another, and the different fish, shellfish , and then there’s the feast afterwards, done by a friendly sushi chef , cold beer what a day ! 👍🏼

I also want to try spear fishing in New Zealand😁And nice food!!

Taku your content is so chill and cozy. Just going out, sustainably harvesting from the ocean, making friends, cooking for them. I'm glad you got to this point with youtube and get to share these adventures.

Thank god and thank you getting straight to the point🙏🏼 This is what we subscribed to you for

Best Outdoor chef on youtube 👌👌

Cool video welcome home brother man I feel like seafood now lol😊

love this video

love watching your content man.

Loving the nz videos.. been a subscriber since 30k subs and love seeing the growth. especially in my country. Still waiting on that kingfish video !

Taku's knives are beautiful. I need to up my knife game 😅

This has been my favourite video from NV, Absolutely love all your videos though! Incredible place to film. Definitely on my must travel to list considering it is so close to me in Aus.

Guess what, Taku? My husband and I went fishing today and then stopped at a local deli for some food on the way home. And what do ya know?? They carry your kelp chili crisp! Was pretty surprised to see it here in SLC, UT. Had never been so delighted to see a condiment and had to grab one. 😂 It is delicious!

Nice... good job...

Loved it Taku the day out with the local boys and back for an epic feast of seafood .

Dope episode, enjoyed this one alot. Those dudes were cool

jocelyn was so cute and the end. I’m jocelyn. 😂 Taku was leaving an opening to Taklyn the World.

Freakin' WOW. What a trip. And hey! 681K in June, 2023. On your way to that first Million subs!!

True master at work. Looked magnificent

Could you please do an in-depth video on sashimi, especially how flavour and texture changes with age? I see you eating sashimi on the day of or day after catch, but a lot of other people seem to wait a few days. Do you change how you prepare it depending on age? As always, love what the two of you do!

i like the catch / cook balance of content..... 50/50 is perfect and your plating is always so pretty. you should promote your sauce more unless it is always sold out ;) edit: lol i said that at 15m in and at 16 mins out comes the chili crisp XD HA! so good.

The NZ Maori, we really Love Paua! So yummy. The way you cook it looks so good. ❤

Hey taku and Jocelyn ❤ my hubby and i have absolutely loved your stuff since you last came to NZ. If your heading to the far north to the bay of islands we would love to host you. Take you diving, fishing and the rest @matauribay far north of NZ ❤

I swear butterboyz is your doppelganger!! So crazy! What a feast though!

Killer spread. Everybody needs an Outdoor Chef friend.

I'm from Te Aro Wellington Jessie Street, originally. I lived there in the 60s and went to Mount Cook school. Live in Brisbane now. Great seeing this. Horse mussels out there too

garnish game on point

I love when there are people around who are excited about the food taku makes, hyping him up and all that. If I was there I would be going crazy

you can scrub off the black layer of the abalone before you boil it with a toothbrush - also raw abalone is amazing too you can also do a ceviche

Welcome to Te Whanganui-a-tara! I'm relativley new to the channel and you're already in my home town!

Toma and Taku look like brothers!

Fry the hua and butter and toast..but you need a lot of them....cool vid

The best part is his cooking skills that woman is lucky

Taku can take just about anything and make a delectable masterpiece.
