Japanese Fish That Taste Like WATERMELON | Fishing in Japan's CLEANEST River
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- First time trying the Ayu fish, a popular fish in Japan but not known throughout the world. The fish lives in only the cleanest rivers and feeds on moss, giving it almost a floral flavor with many describing it as a melon flavor. I am Gifu and tasting the ayu also known as sweet fish for the first time. Ayu was made into fish ramen and pizza!

Fish that taste like watermelon !?Whats next?!
*A WATERMELON THAT TASTE LIKE A FISH*
Wait what?
🤣😂
Already exists its your mom
@@SuspectV1 lmao😂
@@SuspectV1 you got me good mate
It’s starting to feel more like a travel food show than just an ordinary UA-cam video. Good job.
Mike's video getting more interesting:)
More than just food, but a whole lot of unique experiences.
Plus he's been much faster with uploads these days>.
He's a legend in my book. 🔥
He needs to stay at home.
OntarioStorms he is at home. These videos are previously recorded
OntarioStorms you should check out his other channel Mikey Chen. He has been doing so good videos on there too. 😀😀
All of this videos on this channel and his personal channel are filmed a few months ahead of time, and since he's staying at home he has more time to upload videos and catch up with them
I like how Mike goes to a restaurant to eat the most expensive fish wearing a t-shirt
I love it. I think you can buy them jn his merch store or something. I want them all. 😍
yan bag he's a slob
He spend all his money on food that's why
So long as you're comfy, that's all that matters. Unless they have a dress code lol
Q. Warren Teen not at all. mike dresses causal and simple but he’s nowhere near a slob
14:52 LMFAOOO WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE EGGS GROWING UP JUST SO HE CAN EAT THEM AHAH
こんにちは兄弟。おはようございます、あなたのビデオは良くありません。始めまして。私はベトナムから来ました。ベトナムでの釣りを見に来てください
So grateful for your stockpile of content for us during this pandemic.
You're the best- and helping keep some of us sane.
Agree
Mikey is so romantic. I'd want a person to kiss me on the lips before biting off my head
Are you a giant man seized praying mantis
Dude wtf
ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ ᵃʳᵉ ᶜ ʰ ⁱ ˡ ᵈ ʳ ᵉ ⁿ ʰᵉʳᵉ
I laughed way too hard at this 😂💀😂😂
G-SIMP
i started watching this by myself in my room and my mom just happened to pass by and heard your opening sequence and she was like "U were gOing to wAtCH a strricTLY DumpliNg videO without meeee??"
I found your channel last night. I have been learning about Japanese fishing through UA-cam and a friend of mine who taught English there for 13 years.
The second fish you are looks very much like Sculpins in North America. They are both fresh and saltwater but the freshwater species I bet could be eaten the same way.
The Ayu is legendary and it is something I will never catch. Thank you for this show, I have subscribed.
i can't believe I've been watching Mike's videos for years and years, but haven't paid a penny. Feels like I'm stealing.
Facts were living through him
こんにちは兄弟。おはようございます、あなたのビデオは良くありません。始めまして。私はベトナムから来ました。ベトナムでの釣りを見に来てください
Mike's living the life. Traveling and dining.
Every single one of these videos are so wholesome.
i will eat watermelon in lockdown
while imagining the fish
._.
Trying to Food lol 😂
You WeridO
Lmao good one
hahahaha
Lol.
A good eating fish like a California Sculpin or freshwater Crappie if taken care of correctly when caught the fillets will smell like watermelon. I used to commercial fish on my dad's boat on weekends and we would fish for rockfish or sometimes mis-called rock cod. My dad had a customer who owned several Chinese restaurants in SoCal and he was very picky about the fish he'd pay a premium price for. It had to be certain types of rockfish, no boccaccia and some of the big rockfish heads were also kept. First thing is the fish are caught on hook and line and when brought aboard the first thing I did was bleed the fish and after re-baiting and throwing the line back over, had 40-50 hooks. I would then immediately put the fish on ice after they bled out. All the fish caught that day would be filleted out including the cheek meat on some of the fish. Those fillets lightly smelled like watermelon, the fishy smell went out with the blood. I still bleed even crappie or walleye two very good eating fish and get them on ice immediately.
Great advice, I have to try it.
crappie is one of my favorites! next to walleye
@@Nikeair453 Mine too and if taken care of like I commented above it is THE best freshwater fish there is. Walleye and Muskies/Pike a very good eating too and of course trout, but not big Lake trout for some reason they don't taste very good compared to a clean stream cutthroat. I remember catching and eating trout up in the High Sierra in California and they were delicious, being freshly caught makes a difference with a lot of seafood/freshwater fish. Fresh shrimp or scallops really makes a difference.
I like black cod aka sable fish. Smells like butter. Flesh is sweet and buttery. And yes always bleed fish. I live in Alaska and always bleed my salmon etc before killing them to let them pump the blood out. I slice each gill to bleed it.
I grew up on the river and catching fresh crappie. They do have a super clean taste. From the river to the plate in less than an hour.
Hi Mikey! I'm a new(but instantly became the biggest) fan of your channel. Thank you for coming to my home town Gifu!! I'm so so happy to see you were in Nagaragawa and tasted Ayu fish there. I grew up by the river so Ayu is my favorite fish. Your channel makes me want to cook even when I am tired, you're a great inspiration!! Thanks to you!!
Mikey talking about the fish spread, saying "if you spread this on anything, I'll eat it!" How about if you spread it on Broccolli?
Lmao true
Hi Mikey, just wanted to say I love your content! I always watch your videos when I eat dinner 😊
Vannie Eats so true! I literally can’t watch his videos without eating something, or I’ll be miserable. His videos need to come with a warning: “Get something to eat.”
I've heard about the Ayu or sweet fish for years but I didn't know it tasted like fruit. I found out that Ayu can also be found in China, Korea and Taiwan but the increasing pollution of their rivers has caused decline in their population in those places. Ayu like pure, clean water so Japan's clean rivers are where they are most common.
I have loved sweetfish since I was a kid but I never knew it was this rare! Also agree it tastes different now as compared to back then
Yes because there obviously isn't any water pollution in Japan.
@@jimmyneutron8251 well that particular river is supposed to be clean
I've fished for, and eaten ayu all over Japan. Including some restaurants located right on the rivers where they're trapped. And, I've never had one that tasted like fruit.
everything is so clean in Japan, that’s why I really want to go there
Its be clean or get fined (IMO good). I doubt people in america would want that tax. (Asuming u are in America).
Cleanliness is part of their culture
Who else want to fly to Japan to taste fish 🐠 taste like watermelon 🍉 ? 😆 😋
Really thanks to Strictly Dumpling for all the fun interesting videos especially during this lock down period 😍 😊
This is like a reverse "vegan substitute foods" video
Oh, what a glorious day! Thank you for this!!! 🤗
It's so refreshing to see someone grow with their channel. Just a year ago, Mikey didn't eat fish. He changed his mind on fish when he went to Japan and sampled sushi for the channel. As someone who has also given up an aversion to seafood, seeing Mikey thoroughly enjoy fish brings me immense joy. Rock on, the first this we learn about hurdles is how to get over them!!
he always ate fish.
he just didnt eat RAW fish.
Giving us that content we need....lets go
Go where? whole world's locked down LOL
@@jasg771 Don't remind me lol
Loving that code geass pfp
Yum-my Goodies!
Who is curious about the taste of that fish??
🙋🏼♀️🥰🤚🏻🥰🙋🏼♀️
I can't imagine the taste just by listening to his explanation. But, looking at his expression, it must be delicious.
먹슈 mukshu Eating Sounds ASMR Mikey Chen has a zeal and zest for eating good food, from anywhere!
I really love these past few videos, the inclusion of culture and other activities like the fishing, combined with the food makes the video so much more fun :)
Hahaha! When you were scraping some off the pizza cutter xD Too funny!
Huem....
i wld've been upset if he didnt hahaha
i like how you have so much content saved up to edit and keep posting while everyone is quarantined
Well there’s a title I’ve never seen before 🤤🐟🍉
SooChef wtf I recognize your channel I watched one of your videos before lol
Hey I recognize ur channel too! Great content!
I'd make you a watermelon fish
Makes both of us.

Its beautiful you still have videos during quarantine. I watch all of them. ❤
Mike eating Fish that taste like watermelon
Meanwhile we're only can afford Watermelon tat taste like a fish :(
"AND THEN WE HAVE....just a salad" man that caught me off gaurd
It's 2:00am...sleep? What's that? Mike just uploaded a vid...sleep can wait..
And now you're hungry and can't get out of bed!
I can't stop looking at Mike's Japanese friend... I mean he is charming 😅 but salute to the tranquil river!!
The young fisherman looks good right😍 ...he looks like an actor from those asian films😆
I love Mikey's enthusiasm for all things food. :D
So precious to see Japanese people and Chinese people friendly to each other.
I'm excited to explore more cuisines when the quarantine is over. Until then, I'll watch Mikey and dream. ☺
If you come to Norway you can drink tapwater. We never buy bottled water, but we can buy it.
I love how he gets so excited about the fish being clean 17:25
Your contents were very good. I hope you are getting more rest and you to be happy. You've got a fan and subscriber.
Love the channel, thank you for still putting out videos during this time!
for travelling and possibly infecting people yea super awesome.
Sweetfish is my grandfather's favorite fish. I really want to try it someday
I love watching your videos! I love your passion for food and how you give your honest opinion without being disrespectful to an establishments cooking. You’re so cute 😍
This was an amazing experience. Those pizza toppings looks very delicious 😋!
WOW 🍉?🐟? Can’t imagine the taste but we LOVE watermelon. AND YES just imagining that miso fish spread on an NYC bagel! 😆🥯 THAT would so interesting. Thanks for this vid and awesome shots of landscape! Stay healthy and safe, Mike!
when there was the close up of the chef cutting the pizza, mikey did exactly what i wanted to do
Love seeing you visit these types of places that are less commercial. Its the only way to find the treasures. Fried fish 🙆🙆🙆
savoring each Mikey episode like a great book during quarantine ^-^
One of my favorite videos. Absolutely love the presentation, and the comedy.
That is a Master chef look at the variety he gave Mikey.
I like this video journey.
Hope you make more video like this in Japan after covid.
Love all your videos man. Started watching your channel last year. During that time, I’ve binged watched almost every one of your videos.
Who can smell that aroma of grilled fish from the phone? ~hands up~ 🙋♀️
Chubby Whale Udumb
@@BigDaddy-vr2ut what's your problem?
Thanks Mike! LOVE your stories, keeping us connected!
My grandpa took me often fishing, also fishing for Ayu.
When we arrived home we grilled them.
"This is the first time I ate something wrapped in bamboo leaf."....
Mike... Mike.. really? what about zong zi?
You just got disowned as i stroke my inexistent ancient chinese beard.
LOL that is so funny. I like the salty ones.
Maybe the only zongzi he's eaten were ones wrapped in leaves that weren't bamboo?
nonexistent
My ones are usually banana or lotus leaf
Mikey, thank you for appreciating the fish's beautiful face before ripping the head off with your teeth. 💚 That was a nice moment.
This video has been in my recommended for months
20:36 "Spicy & sweet, reminds me of someone i used to know" . no1 commented on this? i scrolled some, couldn't find any1 talking about it. huh
What I would give to have this experience. Japan is so beautiful and I love everything about their culture!
Japanese is such a beautiful culture. I have really good friends from and have always gravitated to Japanese anything, great video.
How great it is that Mikey has a backlog of these videos. I can't wait till I can travel and eat in a restaurant again.
Love how relaxing your videos are, it's just like videos for meditation! ❤
the japanese were all so kind to you, mikey ~
Yee, that's how we do
my mouth is salivating so much watching this video....

Mike this is my dream tour thanks for showing us the culture and the amazing food.
I love Ayu❤️
It's the most tastiest and cleanest fish I've ever tasted since I lived here in Japan❤️😊
I've never tried it and I'm Japanese. Instantly on my bucket list!
Another great video! ❤️ you’ve made me less afraid to try more foods that I was scared of before. That fish looks so good 😊
Your trip is now on my bucket list. Thank you so much
You need your own TV show mike!!!!!!!
One of the best videos done by you by far . Thank you for making corona virus go away for me .
So happy you had all this footage that you could post🙃☺
Idk about y’all.... but the fisherman in the beginning of the video... PHEWWW🤤😩🤭
Wow, Japanese make a lot of things, be it weird, unusual, while most are interesting, but this is quite something. A fish that tastes like watermelon? Just how did it happen? It's as if Japan is a fantasy world.
When you took the pizza cutter I just 😂😂😂
Okay loving the recent contents 🙌🏻

I wish I could travel to Japan like you, awesome video😊

"Wait, there's no such thing as a fruitfish."
"Well, you're right. It's actually a crustacean."
This is so educational, i've been wondering what sweetfish is from all the harvest moon games that i've played😂😂😂
Hey mate love ya show bad times ahead for your country hope u all stay safe mate
Look that landscape.. omg.
....when he said "this one is pregnant"...left chat
Thanks for video contents it helps with the lock downs
12:06 That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen and heard! Lmfao 😂 you’re the best Mikey!
You have got to be trolling right?
Nakul Ashok Get over yourself. Why do I have to be trolling? Coming from him I found it hilarious, I never would expect him to be so silly like that.
Damn mike!!! Your vid are really nice during this rough times!!! Im missing Japan already.. thank you!
Mikey in the mountain stream tasting the water...”Tastes like water from a bottle”...seriously? Do you think water originated inside a bottle?
14:52 I'm not gonna lie I felt bad for mama fish. I was shook.
That water is so fresh!
I hate watching these videos at 12 o’clock at night because I get hungry and then I want a midnight snack
Is it just me but I find that fisherman to be good looking , he looks like he is such a nice person
