I am pretty new to the freediving/spearo world but something I have been quite fortunate to find is abalone. I didn't notice anyone else mentioned this but a tip for cleaning and tenderizing. When you have a meat removed from the shell try soaking it in warm water for a 15-20 in. This will loosen up the black inky stuff on the outside skin and it scrubs off pretty easily with a brush. I don’t know if it changes the flavor much but defiantly improves the visual appeal. I had an old timer told me once that he used to keep an old washing machine (like for you clothes) in his garage, and it was strictly used for washing his abalone. He would collect a good harvest and run them in a quick warm water cycle (no soap obviously) and they would clean up very nicely. Probably not a realistic method for most of us but a fun fact non the less. Also, give them a couple good smacks with a tenderizing hammer and they become quite tender. Thanks for the great videos, you have me itching to go.
Love the prep work and cooking section! Always love seeing different ways to prepare the catch. Would love to see you prepare some ingredients to cook/eat the fish while out diving. I bring a camp stove and have done powdered fish filets, lobster, drunken mussels- preparing the stuff I'll need before hand and bringing it out in my kayak to cook on the rocks. Going to try a pre-made seviche mix this season and see if I can just mince the fish, toss it in, mix it up, and enjoy fresh seviche with some corn chips and a beer! Shout out to Ollie Craig!
Hay guys awesome video I just wanted to let you guys know in NZ creamed paua is an absolute favourite. Onions garlic cream some add a little curry. Also U can make the paua tender by hitting it inside a tea towel and a rolling pin give it a try some time
you're one of the main people who got me into spearfishing, and now a video of you in my own back yard! great to see and its always great to see New Zealand diving from other creators!
Thank you Daniel for your hard work to produce another amazing video❤! Wish I was there diving with you guys! Never tried the butterfly style on scorpion fish, definitely will give a go next time. Cheers 🥂
Epic session team - glad you enjoyed your time here in NZ. Epic cook up too - great to see the variety in your cooking and making the most of the kai. Respect ✊🏽
Wow, this was utterly amazing. Beautiful imagery, beautiful meals, I wish I could smell and taste it with you all. I must tick off New Zeland for the bucket list.
Perfect video to brighten the day after losing a game of footy 😂😢 Congrats on 200k as well, cant wait to see that number increase and increase as you defo deserve it! Look forward to the next NZ video 🇳🇿
Great video! Not sure if it's the same way to prepare Abalone in NZ as it is in Australia but here its good to bash them... to tenderize them of course because slicing.
Use to dive for Abalone in Sydney and the Soth Coast of NSW ,we use to cut them thin use a meat mallet it breaks down the fibres and dip in beaten egg and cooked in butter no more than 30 seconds each side on high heat or the BBQ. Great video guys
That catch and cook was next level 👨🍳. Props to your buddy for taking you to some awesome spots! When the swell dies, I’m going to try and recreate that catch and cook with similar species here in Hawaii. Thanks for sharing 🤙
Fantastic video again, love your content! We're so lucky to have the fisheries we do down here still, a stark contrast to what you experienced in other countries for sure. I've tried abalone a couple of times and always thought it was overrated like some other exotic seafoods we have. Give me a good ol' prawn anyday! Watching you butcher a large Kingy in the airb&b kitchen sink. 😂 Really hope you can do more vid's in NZ soon, amazing!!
Thanks Shane, certainly good to eat but I’d rather scallops for sure. There is a saying in my professional video world ‘Don’t be gentle, it’s a rental’ 🤣
Wow! What a scenery! I had the same frustration with AirBnB knifes all the time. I now take a victorinox knife sharpener (the one with a proper handle) everywhere and that massively helped
First just let me say, love your videos and the dive everywhere philosophy that you live! Really cool! Also I hate safeties on spearguns😆 I started building my own and never put them on, But i get it. Thanks for posting up great spearfishing/ travel vids!
Great video, Next time you get paua try thinly slicing, patting dry and then mixing with some garlic butter and pan fry personal favourite way to cook them 🤙
The first part of the vid I was just thinking wow how lucky, what a lot of life, so many opportunities (I come from Malta you know what I'm talking about Dan ;) ) The second oart of the vid my mouth was watering! What a meal you put together! Nice one
A tip for the Paua is to drop them in boiling water for thirty seconds and then into ice water to cool off - before you slice them up. It makes the tough bits go super soft. We tried your scorpion fish recipe with Brad when he took me out and it was pretty good! I Must give the kina pasta a go at some stage...Awesome vid mate!
Hey mate. Cool vid! I was out at White last weekend and shot a 37.7kg Kingi. Am in the process of going through and making my own vid of our day out there. We also found a school of golden snaps around the back of White 😁 great to tick that off the list!
Incredible landscapes both, out of the water, and underwater, what a lot of life! How many hours of cooking? The sea urchins are delicious and here everyone knows them as aphrodisiac too, how would the thing have ended with so much stimulating products? Thanks for sharing.
Such biodiversity and varied landscape, went straight to the top 3 bucketlist destinations! Very enjoyable video to watch, looking forward to more NZ action:)
Awesome vid, just fantastic environment, sea life and spearfishing! A couple of tips from an Italian dude... next time, in order to get the most authentic and unbiased flavour from the sea urchin, make a spaghetti aglio e olio, then, right at the end, throw the roe in the pan with the pasta (don't scramble it, just the way it comes out of the shell), no flame at all at this point, and just mix it around for a few (maybe add some of the pasta water like you did, to make it more creamy). When the roe will have blended, the pasta is ready to serve. In addition, the abalone, we eat it raw in Sicilia, with a sprinkle of lemon (after slicing it thin, given the size of the monsters you caught) 😉 Nice going man, keep the vids coming, you're the best 👌
Hi Daniel, how are you? Waao Daniel I am jealous of you 😭 My wife and I were watching your video and she is complaining that why I'm not taking her to places like that jajaja, but for real I hope that God bless you and give you a long life to keep enjoying and entertaining us.
Another Awesome diving adventure, thanks Dan! I always enjoy how you serve the catch! So did the Abalone serve the magical powers!? I never had them, i heard they give some people gas issues!
Really good video ! Abalone is a valuable food ingredient in Korea. Size is much bigger in there. Korean abalone has yellow flesh. I really wonder how New zealand Abalone tasty is
Thanks for the reply daniel, cant seem to find out much about the black long spined sea urchin ( which is what i think they are) may just have to guinea pig one of my mates and see what happens.
Magnifique ! This one remember me many fantastics souvenirs in nz 😍 as usual your video is awesome, so unique and authentic, it feels like being with you guys 😅 We look forward to welcoming you soon in South of France with Stephane MIFSUD ! We are about to receive our new 60ft sailboat to do spearfishing trip 🌟 We can host you whenever you want from may to october 😎 I send you an email tomorrow 👌 et encore BRAVO 👏👏👏 Charles RDM
Рік тому+5
Yes I'd be really happy to meet and welcome you Daniel. I use to watch your trips thanks to Charles and it'd be terrific to share moments into my underwater gardens 😉 the "golden islands" and above all the oldest National Park in Europe of Port-Cros. I could also show you how to improve your apnea and hunt prey at great depths if you want to... Like this wrecks ua-cam.com/video/7eZHXFeT6_U/v-deo.html (we have others less deep). Continue your work it's amazing !
Hi Dan love your videos. Have you got any good recipes for mulloway because I’ve just caught my first legal Jewie from the brisbane river and am wondering what techniques would it benefit from. Thanks Thorbjörn
Hi Thorbjörn. They are a great fish and you can do pretty much anything with them. I’d recommend getting a copy of 99 spearo recipes from Adreno or Amazon for fish inspiration!

Glad you're enjoying NZ mate, proud to call this my home
Where I am from in guernsey we call those ‘pow’ shellfish Ormers. Green abalone.
You could use 2 spoons to open a kina, less messy on the shell pieces. But I hope you enjoyed your time here in beautiful aotearoa
I love the cooking stuff as much as the spearing/gathering
Looks like a great time had by all!
Thanks for sharing👍👍
Thanks Robert!
Wow that island was insanity! Perfectly cooked meal Daniel!
Fascinating episode! Great to see you all being adventurous trying different types of seafood!
Always try things once!
Always try things once!

Great Video again Dan looking forward to seeing your last dive of New Zealand.
Always leaving me hungry as and ready to get in the water again!
I remember a dive in the Poor Knights Islands and seeing a group of Kingfish.Amazed at how big and powerful they looked.
omg you made me so hungry great video!
Great diving footage. Nice to see you all having fun
Woohoo - another great film from D. Mann! Thank you for that one! I definitely would go to a movie theater for your films! 🙂
Cheers Joachim!
Awesome to see you crushing it! Ticking more and more species off the bucket list makes great content. 👍
More to come!
love the cooking parts of these videos!
Great, great, great,video! Wonderful glimpse of New Zealand, that I would probably never have a chance to see myself.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great one, thanks for sharing Daniel!
Wow! Real nice footage👍So many fish to pick on😀
Thank you Daniel for your hard work to produce another amazing video❤! Wish I was there diving with you guys! Never tried the butterfly style on scorpion fish, definitely will give a go next time. Cheers 🥂

Bro... what a feast, this was another great one.
Another very nice video Daniel, thanks for sharing it with us !
Wow, this was utterly amazing. Beautiful imagery, beautiful meals, I wish I could smell and taste it with you all. I must tick off New Zeland for the bucket list.
Definitely worth a visit!
Great video, amazing locations and recipes that must be tested! Waiting for the next episode! 👍
Absolutely amazing!!! So many fishes!!

Kingfish looks unreal, that big yet that good quality... wish we had them here. Great vid mate!
It was a pretty average to small sized one out there I’m told!

That looks like some beautiful diving and amazing visibility. Loved the video Daniel🙌🏽
Cheers Surin!

Safety never has a day off 🤣😁 3 times, awesome... Great video again and I really enjoy the cook ups. Scorpion fish looks lush.. Well done Dan
Cheers Carl, damn safety!
Great Vid Daniel, love your work.
Cheers Finn!
Stunning video!!! Im going to keep an eye out for scorpion fish next dive!!
Thanks Elise, they are super tasty
Great video! Not sure if it's the same way to prepare Abalone in NZ as it is in Australia but here its good to bash them... to tenderize them of course because slicing.
I hope you visit the coromandel peninsula aswell ❤️
Yes I did, no diving unfortunately.
All the Best For 2023 to You Dan Family and Wife,,Love the Content Always,,🇱🇨👍🏼♥️
You nailed the cooking bro what a feed well done
Thanks Stephen!
Whole package - Jamie Oliver of the Sea (I'm not sure if JO can even swim - eye roll) Thanks for taking me along.
Great footage and experiences mate! Also commentary Dan and Dan on GoPro different accents kept me on my toes!
Use to dive for Abalone in Sydney and the Soth Coast of NSW ,we use to cut them thin use a meat mallet it breaks down the fibres and dip in beaten egg and cooked in butter no more than 30 seconds each side on high heat or the BBQ.
Great video guys
very nice video wonderful choice of music .. Greetings from Tunisia 🇹🇳
best episode in a long time, im just waiting for the white because seals are your first warning
That catch and cook was next level 👨🍳. Props to your buddy for taking you to some awesome spots! When the swell dies, I’m going to try and recreate that catch and cook with similar species here in Hawaii. Thanks for sharing 🤙
hope you enjoyed nz mate, pretty buzzy watching your videos for a couple years then seeing you head out the local spots
Amazing!! 👍👍👍 loved your video especially Paua and kina pasta!! Subscribed 😊
Thank you!
First and foremost Before I was a Spero , I was a Abalone Harvester . Crayfish Lover , Thank God for New Zealand,
Great Whites you say? I'd be driving the boat thanks Dan! Can't believe the size of those Scorpions. Terrific vid and what a beautiful country NZ is.
Definitely great white country, glad I didn’t see any!
Really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much. I have been wanting to visit New Zeeland for sometime and this just confirms it even more.
I’ve heard that Abalone is a nightmare to cook. Well done!
There not that hard
Amazing stuff Dan, looks like some amazing places to dive and spearfish! Just a little bit jelly 😆
Very Nice scorfani fish good for a delicius fish soup.
Fantastic video again, love your content!

What a paradise! Daniel, you starting to cook like a proper italian chef. Next videos: fish cooking lessons 😁😁😁
I try 🤣 Maybe some more fish cooking lesions coming up this year.
Great video, Next time you get paua try thinly slicing, patting dry and then mixing with some garlic butter and pan fry personal favourite way to cook them 🤙

you should have had the paua in paua dumplings, I had some the otherday and they are soo good
Amazing video as always
Glad you enjoyed

And this was winter, apparently much more fishy in summer.
Yeah, so good 🤙🏻
mate as always a incredible video, realy enjoying the nz vids
What a video ... nice job ! You make me feal hungry now 😅

i like very much the part of cooking ...next time try it on the beach
I don’t really have a load of camping and cooking stuff with me when travelling so a bit of a waste to buy all the stuff and cook on the beach.
The viz looked amazing
50km offshore helps with that 😁
Good video, folks. First one I've seen. Don't get used to your kids eating stuff like kina as they get older!
Thanks Steve! My nieces are pretty good eaters, hopefully it sticks!
Hi Daniel, how are you? Waao Daniel I am jealous of you 😭 My wife and I were watching your video and she is complaining that why I'm not taking her to places like that jajaja, but for real I hope that God bless you and give you a long life to keep enjoying and entertaining us.
Going places, mate. Jealous! Scorpionfish are delicious. Caught one a few weeks ago. Here in Portugal there are giant spider crabs at the moment
Looking forward to the spiders hitting the U.K. soon!
Like always great video
Cheers Aryman!
Another Awesome diving adventure, thanks Dan! I always enjoy how you serve the catch! So did the Abalone serve the magical powers!? I never had them, i heard they give some people gas issues!
What goes on in NZ stays in NZ 👀
amazing
Epic dive, mate. A good quality camera make huge differences on the video as well.
Thank you!
we need to talk about your technique to open sea ursins !!! 😆
Really good video ! Abalone is a valuable food ingredient in Korea. Size is much bigger in there. Korean abalone has yellow flesh. I really wonder how New zealand Abalone tasty is
I judge people harshly based on the sharpness(dullness!) of their kitchen knives🤣 You did a bang up job despite the airbnb handicap.
I can’t stand a dull knife. Noting quite takes the joy out of cooking like that does.
So good bro 🙌
Cheers Paul!
the greatest!!!
Best wine and food pairing for seafood I agree. Come and visit Cloudy Bay winery if you are still in NZ. I am the winemaker there. Cheers
Ah would have loved to Victor but back in Europe now.
Great video as always, hey mate do you know if you can eat the roe from the sea urchins in north queensland, cheers.
Thanks Anthony, not sure but I don’t think they are poisonous, would google that first though!
Thanks for the reply daniel, cant seem to find out much about the black long spined sea urchin ( which is what i think they are) may just have to guinea pig one of my mates and see what happens.
