Great vid. A more sustainable way of harvesting seaweed is it cut the seaweed at the base instead of just ripping it off the rocks. It can regenerate, as apposed to pulling the whole thing off with no further possibility of furthering new generations of growth.

Try dropping the temperature down and cook slower/longer , actually you only want it dried not cooked. 100-150 F . Or use a food dehydrator . In New Zealand we call it Karengo "Car eng o" , that's a short o sounds like OR not OH. The Maoris traditionally dried it in the sun and took it with them on their travels with dried fish. Nori/Laver/Karengo has 9 times the vitamin C of an orange and heaps of Iodine. My fav thing is to cook Muttonbirds aka Sooty Shearwaters with dumplings and Karengo.... oh yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try it with smoked Chicken. And Uni we call Kina ,ours are bigger and green and coming into the season to gather . Kina are tasty when they leak a milky "Fat' liquid from the roe.I marinate them in lemon juice and raw onion then you can eat them or add coconut cream and make a kind of "Pacific Island" raw fish recipe by adding bell peppers, chilli ,lime,ginger and all those yummy things you like yourself . Love your channel :-)

Thank you too for awesome tips on filleting fish and cool tips for sustainability! keeps on the great videos!

I knew this channel was going to blow up sooner than later! Good stuff dude!

Please keep making more videos!!! I always watch you when I eat my meals and you make it much more enjoyable to eat!!

Video popped up on my timeline n its dope to see how juiced you was for 1000 subs. Now 4 years later over 1/2 a million. Love the videos

Knife is Life...Love your videos, great content!

Coastal fishing/gathering so much better up north in your area! So jelly!

Great video and I always enjoy watching fellow Californians do the fishing and other activities along our beautiful coast

Thank you for showing how to collect seaweed. Also preparing it for eating. Great information

I shouldn't be watching these videos every time I do I get uncontrollably hungry and for the time being I can't drive because of spinal injury and recovering from a surgery on the arch of my foot ! When you're making these videos I can feel that sea breeze I can smell whatever your cooking and my mouth just waters as you plate everything that's enough to drive me insane with hunger so thanks yet again for making me hungry ❗❗❗

I freaking love this channel!!! One of my new favorites! Keep it up!!!

Great videos man, thanks for the frequent posting. Looking forward to your next one already! The videos reminds me of a cross of Fisherman's Life and Coastal Foraging with Craig Evans.

That crunch was super satisfying lol

Your videos really are the best!!! I definitely gotta try this.

I was born and raised in California but live in Michigan now. We have thousands of fresh water lakes but I would love to go forage me some mussels and crabs. But, walleye and pike are good, too.

Cooking inside works well also. Your definitely getting better at this. Can't wait for the next one.

Your show is like a survival show

Knife is life! I’m binging your foraging videos because this COVID pandemic has me freaked! I’m hoping to find some wild edibles in my area (Los Angeles) because it’s getting pretty difficult to find produce at these grocery stores... but also, I just find foraging for wild edible plants is just good practice and a lot of fun when hiking. Thanks for the vids!

From one chef to another, No sir you're awesome! Thank you!

Watching this while you have just short of 700k followers. Crazy to how far you’ve come!

Dude your going to blow up, you have short high quality videos and you get strait to the point I’m super happy to see a catch and cook this good. Keep it up buddy

Hi Taku... u should def mention ur name in ur intro and also consider getting a patreon. I just subscribed today and have been binging on and off lol. Ur channel is quite unique bc of ur next level cooking skills. Keep up the great work. So informative.

Love all the videos. glad im an early subscriber. can't wait for the new videos. I love sushi.we eat at Okinawa in Antioch,Ca it's really good.

congratulations for the growing subscribers bro 👊🏼

good thing you know your seaweeds, guess you cab't just pick anything! good job on making the seaweed snack.

Ur living my dream man, keep uploading!

My favorite video of yours. Seaweed gang.

Hi Taku, you seem pretty versed in foraging edibles but if you want to learn more about low tide foraging in the Bay Kirk Lombard does foraging tours where he shows you techniques and identifying certain edibles. Yours are $50-60 and is very informative.

I love this channel 🙌🙌🙌

gave me an idea of what to do and add to my trailmix!!!

Hey these videos might not get as many views as your clamming and fishing videos but as a vegan I super appreciated it and can't wait to try it on my next backpacking trip!

Love the stuff. It would be great if you could do a video that covers which seaweed NOT to collect- either because it's unlawful or protected, because it may be poisonous, or if it's from an area that has too high pollution levels. It would also be helpful to know which seaweeds are technically edible, but aren't quite sought after or palatable for which ever reason.

Knife is life!

keep up the good work

Just a heads up to people who are gonna try this out - don't wash the seaweed with fresh water, it will take way the flavor and be quite subdued. Rinse in sea water before heading home! Cheers!

Interesting video chef, congrats on the success!.

Looks so good chef. Keep it up 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thank you for Going over how all seaweed is edible and none of it is poisonous in your other video where you made the miso soup, I didn’t know that… So I can’t wait to go foraging for my own

Another great video. Very informative. You should try to contact Matts at fisherman's life, another local fisherman. Maybe do a colab video. :)

Hey! Supporting you from the Bay Area! 😍👍

Awwww hell naw I've been getting jipped at Trader Joe's. Definitely going to try this and make my own now. Right on Taku!

Sea lettuce , that bright green one .. wash it , dry it out , wash it again . tear it up, put butter in a pot, add mushrooms , shell fish and sea lettuce... gorge yourself ..

Great vid bro! One suggestion though is to cut the seaweed rather than pluck it. That way the stipe/attachment is not damaged and it will keep growing. Loving the channel bro!

I enjoyed this as much as the others!! So cool to see you make that snack, awesome job. Are you going to try again for the urchin? Good luck on everything!

I’m calling it Right now , next year you’ll have 1million subs

Love your channel, cooking and the outdoors are my thing. I always wondered about cooking with seaweed. It seems all is edible if delicate enough? The one you called sea lettuce also comes in a white variety. My father said it was good for ulcers.

Knife is Life!

Top Ittipat approved.

This channel is awesome

Yum!

You just winged it. Sounds fun.

Hi Taku, my daughter requested to watch your videos today. She loves your foraging videos especially the ones with seaweed. She loves seaweed, we're actually eating some while watching this video haha. For your next foraging video, can you do a seaweed salad?

Gangster shit.... taku bow to thank us... keep your videos coming... great videos... I find it pretty interesting

I bet that would be good in or on sushi rolls to add some crunch and extra nori flavor (which I think it lacking in inside out rolls).

I think you should try a pestle and mortar for the seaweed. That will create a mash which will bake into a sheet. I’ve never made my own nori, but I am a pastry chef, so I know some about these things. Also. I live near Santa Cruz and have been wanting to learn costal foraging for years. Any tips?

Also, just gonna say... bull kelp pickle rings.

When you bake seaweed in hot 350 degree oven don't you kill most of the nutrients with the high heat . Dehydrator would be better...but takes longer.

Yummy

Hey congratulations Chef...
