hahaha!

Was thinking the same

id be worried about some hungry fisherman snagging that one up haha

Hahahaha great comment!

😂 you not lying

**seagulls punching the air watching the video**

Same but me and him are similar age its nice to see. I remember him fishing around the time I would. I wanted to meet he fished at a spot I was at missed him by a Hair.

I think he was going bigger is better like most fish, but often times the smaller ones have the more delicate flavor with different nuances depending on the region

Yea definitely overlooked

I feel the pain too

4 flips is just playing with it.

😂 😂 Nahh

That shit was just fine lmfao

Very true uni pasta is so underrated

Not sure where in North Coast you harvested the mussels, but might wanna check biotoxin hotline for mussels if safe to eat. As of November 2nd, there are shellfish safety notification with dangerous levels of PSP in San Mateo and Humboldt counties. www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/SN22-007.aspx

Purple ones are also native to California from B.C. To Baja California

yup just like a tuna or elk steak

I have heard from Japanese chefs that you actually want to cook it a little more than regular steak, closer to medium than rare. The reason being it is so fatty that you want the fat to warm and melt. Ordering A5 rare is allegedly a big no no. Tuna rare makes sense because it is pretty much pure protein unless you are closer to the belly. Also, tuna fat has a lower melting temp than beef fat. My favorite way to eat wagyu or hanwoo is Korean BBQ style, where you cook perfect bite size cube morsels and eat them straight off the grill, char with a burst of fat and juice.

I thought so too. I thought the ones he took were becoming scarce. I can't believe he just wasted one.

Agreed. Might as well add it to a sauce or stock rather than hack it open only to throw it away.

ow ya, i was thinking the same too, since i know the purple is the invasive one from Taku's channel.

Calm down ladies

@@fale892it is invasive

When he drowns I will blame you then for not saving him in time.

@@regulatorjohnson.did you take this literally? As a sea fisherman, we always hope we KNEW we werent alone. But that someone on shore had our back and wished us a safe return home. He takes chances to make us videos when safe precautions are not followed. Be well and be safe my friend.

@@freddyrussell6611 when Matt said it in the video it was in the context of don't go free diving alone so you can be rescued if something goes wrong. The emotional support of strangers on KZfaq won't help you do much beyond sell t shirts.

Right. Don't hack one open to kill it just to throw it away 5:10. If you admit you don't understand uni why would you assume the uni you opened up isn't edible.

Commenting isn't harvesting... get busy! LOL

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 I don't live on the west coast otherwise I would and sell them.

Soy and wasabi to what? Ruin the taste? Come on, man.

Lmao I was just thinking that. Prime wildlife pickings.

I was picturing a bunch of seagulls having a wonderful party with that steak.

I was thinking the same. Where are the seagulls?

That was a possibility! Lol

Thanks Matt's for yet another great video. I enjoyed reading the comments too! Some were humorous!

First time I've seen him just kill something he caught just to throw it away. Doesn't even use the uni as bait 5:10. just because he doesn't like the taste he wastes something from the ocean. Respect all food man, even if you don't like the taste.

Man I was thinking the same thing... guess it's true and why abalone season is gone indefinitely.

The red-colored sea urchins probably taste a bit bitter. Should go for the purple ones

Meanwhile our boy just hacking open an uni to throw it away at 5:10. Uni is a delicacy and he just chucks it under the excuse of a quality check when our boy admits to not understanding uni (so what are you checking for?).
