"First fish I ever caught, and the best fish I ever ate" Dude is living the life

I have to say Taku fillets a fish better than anybody I’ve seen, I never tire of watching him. So nice clean and smooth.

how taku doesnt have over 2 or 3 million subs yet boggles my mind, your videos and cooking are A plus top notch, you blow all those youtuber cook short people out of the water

Taku! I remember you’re first few videos after 10 minutes you only have couple hundred viewers now it’s in the thousands! Congrats man! Fan since day 1! Have fun in the motherland!

Dude that’s respect, very thoughtful to share the catch of the day amongst others who lucked out.

Hello Taku and Jocelyn, we have been watching you for quite a while. We love what you are doing but rarely comment. This trip however is amazing, I just had to jump on and say something. To see your little niece and how she just looks up to you and loves you is just so touching. What a great trip, we wish you and Jocelyn all the best. Thank you for sharing so much great stuff.

Hey man, I don’t usually comment but I just wanted to say I’ve been a fan for a long time but I just recently got back into your videos. It’s such a nice change of pace to the whole hustle and bustle that seems to encompass the internet these days. Just some good people enjoying good fishing and good food. It’s the simple things in life! Your videos do a great job at reminding me of that. Have fun on your trip! Japan is #1 on my list of places to visit. Seems like a great place and I’ve always had a thing for (probably heavily americanized) Japanese food.

Just rewatched this again. Taku, YOURE not only a great FISHERMAN and CHEF, but you're also a great TEACHER. The "student" subscriber that did the fillet job did such an AWESOME job man. I fillet fish pretty well, but I've also learned something about processing fish watching your videos. I use a Rapala fillet knife, but I need to step up my game and get me a nice Chefs Knife. Great Video as always TAKU,.🍻 CHEERS FROM THE 416 IN TORONTO 🍻

Take, you’re such an amazing, selfless human. Thanks for offsetting alit of turds in this world. We need you. ❤️ Jocelyn, don’t think you go unnoticed. I saw you helping in the background. I’m not sure which of you tells you to sit down and be a little less selfless once in awhile. But it’s certainly clear you two have found a balance. Happy for you both. Please keep being awesome, You Two. Sending all the love and safe travels. Good luck on the King, Taku!!

Can’t wait to see if you have another trip planned !!!!! Would really love to join y’all out there 😊

Knife is life! im just a simple person who loves to cook and really love japanese food.. It is always my dream of having a real japanese knife.. Big fan here from Philippines..

Can't wait to see some more NZ! Hope you guys are enjoying Japan! Amazing content as always Taku! Taku Tuesday is the best

Great show and looks like so much fun!! Amazing weather, calm water & with awesome people and food...can't get much better than that! 💪😎👍

Taku, please adopt me, my wife and our two boys so we can tag along! You're living life to the fullest, bro. Appreciate living vicariously through your vids!!

I live in KY. I have a cousin who married a Japanese girl. They used to live in Osaka and moved to the mainland. He took over a abandon home on a mountain. He is the crazy guy in the family. His honeymoon he horse backed thru Mongolia for a month. Great video!

Amazing video as always Taku. Thank you for sharing your trip to Japan with us.

Yay another outdoor chef video! Enjoying all your adventures and since I’m in NZ now, can’t wait till you are back in NZ too. And if there is a subscriber trip that would be super awesome! I also just went on a canal fishing trip and fishing is really enjoyable!!

Awesome, awesome vid. Trip of a lifetime for so many! I loved the supermarket. Stay safe and God Bless!

Great video Taku! That was a day I know I would never forget. Some amazing fish caught today! Man, your knife skills are beyond awesome. I had some sashimi today and it was good but they cut it at least 1/2” thick. I prefer the thinner stuff like you do. The food looked so good. Thanks for sharing!

What an amazing time.. enjoy every minute! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I can’t wait for a new deliciously invasive episode ❤these always get me so excited for the new knowledge

I never get tired of watching you clean and filet the fish. You do an excellent job of explaining and showing us how to do it. I will definitely do a better job next time I give it a try. You must admit you make it look so easy. I know it took a lot of practice. Also the knife has to be really sharp. Any way thanks for showing us some aspects of Japan . The bento boxes look so nice. I wish those were available everywhere in the world. Keep up the great work. Love you both. You make KZfaq fun. Peace

Thanks for the video…I enjoy these catch and cook adventures…be safe !!

Great video guys!🤙🤙

Gorgeous scenery!

I really enjoyed the videos on your last trip to Japan. Looking forward to your videos on this trip!

Excellent video from Japan! Taku’s filleting technique is flawless due to years of professional practice. It’s harder to do than it looks. Fishing in Hawaii for decades, it’s tradition to give away lots of our fish to neighbors and friends. We caught mostly Mahi Mahi, Ono, Aku, and Ahi. Aku (Skipjack tuna), we’d give away whole. The rest we’d fillet and put in gallon ziplock bags to pass out to neighbors. We usually caught way more than we could eat, and freezing fish is frowned upon in Hawaii. Fresh off the boat is the way to go. What you can’t eat fresh, you give away so that everyone can eat it fresh off the boat. If a neighbor got more fresh fish than they could eat, they’d call family or friends to come get some. It’s never frozen for later. That’s the rules. A huge Japanese population and influence in Hawaii, we adopted their styles of fishing and love for sashimi and rice. Depending on how many fish we caught, the fish was divided evenly between my friend, (the captain) and me, (first mate). We were fishing partners, not many wanted to go 40 miles out to sea in rough channel waters with us so we had no “guests” on board, just us two. Sometimes we’d spend hours cleaning fish and since he didn’t particularly like fish (strange for a professional fisherman), he’d fillet his fish very professionally and give it all away. I love fish but have a particular fondness for the bone meat. So when I filleted my fish I’d purposely leave lots of meat on the bone. Maybe keep a few fillets for me and my girlfriend and give the rest of the fillets away as well. While cooking both the fillets and bone meat side by side in a pan, my girlfriend grew more fond of the bone meat than the fillets. (She understood) The reason is, the meat closest to the bone has a texture like crab and the meat on any animal is better tasting closer to the bone. (When cooked anyway) And it’s a different eating experience. It’s not wolfing down huge chunks of meat, it’s more like picking tiny morsels with chopsticks. Like picking at crab meat, every bit is a delectable delicacy. It’s a fun and rewarding experience. So, I’d give most my fish away, but save the bone with plenty meat on it for us to enjoy. Dipping pieces of hard-won bone meat in drawn garlic-butter is a whole lot like a crab feast. Every little piece means something and you have to work at it a little bit. We enjoyed the whole trip of it. I can fillet a fish almost as good as Taku but usually choose not to. That bone meat. Man that’s good!

man i love your videos, the time and care you put into cooking makes me happy!

This was a great video delicious looking dishes and I know you all had fun be safe out there and safe travels!!!

such a joy to watch you work

Nice trip man. My favorite fish to catch and eat, congratulations to everyone

I WILL be on one of these subscribers vacation it’s definitely #1 bucket list item

Take and Jocelyn… love your channel..great episode my friends !

Awesome, inspirational video. Loved this one

Please do one in northern Japan. Crabs!

Beautiful knives, my dude. Great video, as always!

I just had dinner, watching Taku cooking make me hungry again 😂😂😂

The way the fishermen handle the fish is respectful of the life they are taking.

We just went to Japan and absolutely loved it. What an incredible country

What a fun trip !! Watching everyone enjoy that dinner was not fair haha

24:45 There's a cute white dog Great video Taku! I found you through your Alaska adventures, and have become a daily viewer. Cooking is also what got me into fishing and the next big buy will be a fishing kayak!

Beautiful job, guys 🔥🍀👍

i am addicted to this channel!

Hopefully I can go on one of these trips in the future. I'm jus watching all jealous and getting hungry for that delicious looking food

Awesome subscriber trip! Success!

Very Good Video Taku and Jocelyn 😊. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

I wanted to thank you for the yet another lesson on filleting fish. I've been filleting fish for 50 years, but was never that good at it. Last week I caught a 16" Pompano, and per your instructions had near perfect fillets in a pan in under an hour from time of catch. You might consider the Florida Panhandle on a future catch and cook adventure!

Excited so see you back in NZ, hope you can get that kingy!

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH. FOR TEACHING ALL OF US MORE ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. PLEASE KEEP UP ALL YOUR SHOWS AND MAKE MORE FUN TIME SIR.

Taku's content is legit entertaining.

Dude the fishing was sweet but watching you filet that fish was so informative and clean.

Awesome tutorial

Great video Taku

nothing but good vibes in this video

Sashimi and grilled fish head (Ara) looks so delicious. 🍻🍻

Can't beat those kabura jigs🦈

It’s my dream, before I die, to do ocean fishing! I adore fishing but I haven’t even managed to catch a salmon yet. I’ve been fishing since I was a kid but good fish seem to evade me. I am definitely living vicariously through you ! What a cool trip this was!

💛...btw, your little sister has breezed by the 2k subscribers mark (some of my channels have been below 500 for years)... keep on truckin'...

With RESPECT, With hope for Childs. From Morocco with Love and RESPECT....

Hey Taku, hopefully you can add Australia to your travels at some point! Been Loving the show since day 1 and keep up the great work mate 👏🙏

Forever dreaming of filleting with Taku!

Taku. Please do a NZ subscriber trip! I’d be super keen. Great to see Australian Snapper being caught in Japan.

Bring your family to the USA for some fishing adventures, eating and cooking experiences. Also, I want to see OCL go to Norway or Iceland series of cooking and fishing please. Thanks Joslyn N Taku!

Fish it up hommes! Keep up the videos! Gimme some coastal foraging if you can :)

Love it

Love all the videos. We need you to do a Bahamas trip and make some fresh conch ceviche/shashimi… I’m here in Redding, you need to come out to shasta lake!

where in nz do u plan to fish when you return? great video on the kabura fishing. i've done it a few times on the kayak and its quite fun to do

My absolute favorite fish! With shiso leaf, lemon and salt!😮

Dayumn. If you’re in Tokyo bay area those tairubber jigs work out here too there’s a couple of boats you can book for red snapper in Tokyo bay.

that is where we are going first..osaka.....can't wait to try the different sashimi fishes there and tokyo..

Lots of fan🎉

hope Jocelyn is having lots of fun

Nice fishing trip 👌

nice!!

What a life!

We also bag our own items at a separate counter in supermarkets in Ireland nice to see at least one similarity 🤣👍

Taku I'm just wondering if there is a slot for red snapper in Japan and how many can you take is it as United States does it matter wether you are in charter boat or you are in a personal boat or kayak I'm a subscriber and watch the varieties of videos in your channel as I'm been following you through New Zealand great videos love the catch and cook thank you.

#couchTouring coastal 🇯🇵 from 🇵🇭 thanks to the very charming couple of @TaklyntheWorld and @OutdoorChefLife 🤠

It would be incredibly fun to go fishing with Taku anywhere, let alone Japan! Ready to get into this one.

If yall happen to be back in japan late October, would love to meet and hangout

Looking forward to more nz videos. We have a couple of good youtubers here. Be good to see a collab. We have some good trout fishing around Rotorua. Keep up the great work you two.👍🏼

Sunny One Piece ... love it :D

Hey Taku! What’s the name of the fishing charter you used in Osaka? Got a trip coming up and would be great to get out on the water there.

Damn, it's been 4 years since you've been in japan? That means I've been in this channel for more than that. I still remember when you caught that mahi mahi with azusa

We all wish we had a Jocelyn..good on you sir

So you caught snapper in NZ how different are the Japanese snapper from the Kiwi ones and do they have them on West coast USA afterall its probably closer than NZ from Japan. From the video they look very similar do they have the blue spots etc is the shape close or exact the Aussie ones have bumpier foreheads than the Kiwi ones.

So Taku I think you and J have already come up with your next business. Guided tours with Taklyn the World.

Basic knife skills, cooking skills, eating skills- should be taught in shool everywhere. We had "cooking classes" in middle school, that taught about 50% how to boil potatoes and roots. Some say you should learn from your parents, but parents vary extremely in knowlege on "the big three"- Food- Economy- Trade(not selling and buying).

Taku, would you be able to share the charter information? We are interested to do fishing inJp. Thank you.

What a beautiful sea to start the Day Fishing❤. I hope the people treat you better now that you have guests😡. Awesome haul today by your trip goers🎉. Yummy meal Taku🌞. Enjoy🎊😊. JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞

When are you going to come to Noway? Fishing there is super

Thats a nice looking chirashi

Snapper Heads with coconut cream yummy.

may i ask what are the brands/makers of your two knives? thank you

Would love to join some of these fishing charters but have no idea how to search for them, especially if we are looking for an authentic experience. Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated 😉

Ahhh! She's at the mangos again!

I want to see you do catch n cook freshwater fish in japan😁😃

"its wiggling"😂

Taku! You swinging by Okinawa again? Please have a meet and greet if you do. Fellow Nor Cal guy here living in Okinawa.

Taku please do one of these in new zealand me and im sure many other people would love the oppurtunity to come fish with you!!! Also if you did do this how would one sign up for the chance to come?
