Not trying to be off-putting, but mahimahi is not common in Japan. The reason that they, the Japanese, don't use mahimahi is its raw texture and flavor, and it has little to no fat. Lived there for 16 years, and traveled from Sapporo to Kagoshima, not once saw Mahimahi on a sushi menu. But in Hawaii we do sometimes eat it raw.
Next chance you get to try menpachi, you should try them deep fried in a wok preferably. Just salt them and throw em in whole. I like them raw, but fried is the best way to prepare the reds. Great videos as always brah, you’re killing it!
As someone who aspires to be a chef I absolutely love watching your videos Taku, hopefully I can do videos like yours and do the fish I catch just as much justice
With mahi it’s best to leave them in the water till you hook up another cause even if it’s hooked they’ll follow each other and you can basically just hook into one after another, obviously only when they’re grouped up in a school tho
Nice little subtle nod to Oz with the addition of the finger limes. Would soooooo love to dine at your table if you and Jocelyn ever make it here down under 🥰
Beautiful work on the sashimi trays. I lived in Hawaii for a few years, on big island. Fished for menpachi and aweoweo many times and somehow never knew they were good sashimi! We always fried them up! Looks like I missed out on that big time!
Ryan Myers expo.. is an amazing channel. Check them out I've been watching Ryan for many years now. He's an OG from Florida my old stomping grounds. Ryan's top videos have Justin Lee in them. They just have so much more fun when together. Enjoy
Great video! I am from Oahu but live in Wa state now and its so nice to see fish I grew up spearfishing eaten in new ways. Ala'ihi, menpachi, aweoweo these fish are usually never eaten as sashimi since its a hassle to filet and are usually eaten fried. All 3 of these fish make excellent miso soup (can use head or whole body after cleaning). Platter looked ono!
I love this channel and the content. The only issue I have is (why I often don't watch the videos), that I really get hungry. I can basically only watch the videos if I just had food or are about to get food. Seriously.
🌴 all right I could of sat thought whole video just at the tackle shack , and then came the fish catching 👍🏼 ahhh, and then 😳 the eye candy ! 😆A whole board full of sashimi 🥢 pass the wasabi and ponzu Sauce !
Taku you have to come to Australia one day! We have awesome fishing spots, some of the best in the world and probably have lots fans here willing to show you awesome spots. Western Australia in particular has some of the best fishing ever!
Ehu? Thought you guys came up empty on the bottom. Please tell me Ryan fried up some menpachi for you. Drizzle some shoyu and hot rice. That’s how we normally eat them. But sometimes in soup too. Save the bones for miso. So good
My dad is one of those fresh off the boat people and when we caught Mahi in the Gulf of Mexico he cut the belly meat off of it and we had sashimi. Still warm and it was the best I've ever had.
You really need to go fishing at South Point! It's one of the rare places where you can actually catch deep sea fish like ahi, rainbow runner, and marlin FROM SHORE!!! Fun fact: South Point is also the southern most point of all 50 states!
Good going catching some great fish. Too bad Sam & Jocelyn didn't fish. Would have top level catches with their good karma. Huge ahi and onaga. Better take them along next time. Tight lines
When I was a little kid (we were there before Koko Marina in Hawaii Kai was "Koko Marina", at first it was just a Foodland and a gas station and I think a hardware store) when Koko Marina was new, one of the stores was a fishing store and my older brother and I used to love looking at the big hooks and lures. I even got a little pocket knife that looked like a fish! They did not appreciate it when I took it to school at good old Koko Head Elementary for show and tell though!
1:13 “Today we’re gonna find something for Taku to cook me” 😂 Made me die 💀 I would be trying too. Ahaha all jokes aside Taku you’re too great. Literally got my girlfriend and I into foraging for mushrooms 🍄 👍🏽
Taku and Jocelyn for the win!!
It’s so cool seeing Taku explore new types of fish. Helps me be more open to trying new things
hes completing his pokedex
@@akkad7514 for the poke bowlssss
bruh uf u ate one type of fish, why not all
Trying new foods is Fun !😃
@@akkad7514 LMAO Magikarp 😂😂😂
Oh yeah, these guys are the real deal! Loved the chemistry, optimism, and support!
I'm surprised you are not on the Food Network channel yet. That looks so good, and professional.
waste of time for him. food network basically ties you down with contracts.
Mahi’s make awesome sashimi, it’s a mystery to me why they’re rarely seen in sushi. I know they’re common in Japan. Awesome video again Taku!

I was looking for this comment. You are right. This fish is best fried
Taku knows how to plate! Would love to do a catch and cook with him one day. Come to Texas and let's go grouper fishing.
I love this Hawaii series. I have no fishing experience but damn you make me want to give it a shot. Keep up the great work!
Let's make this community reach 1 million asap
THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH SIR. I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
Awesome! I liked how you tried the fish with the skin on and changed plan, shows that not all fish work the same way 🤙
Take and Jocelyn living it up! Been a big fan for a while.
Love seeing Taku tackle new fish he's never handled before!
That was some exciting fishing! Great energy from everyone! Great work!
As someone who aspires to be a chef I absolutely love watching your videos Taku, hopefully I can do videos like yours and do the fish I catch just as much justice
The platter was stunning!

Also, that plater at end was super art bro. Absolutely fantastic.
The Collab we needed Taku and Ryan💯💯🤙🏽🤙🏽
Nice little subtle nod to Oz with the addition of the finger limes. Would soooooo love to dine at your table if you and Jocelyn ever make it here down under 🥰
Loving the Hawaii series would be so cool to see one of those deep sea special fish one day… fingers so so so crossed 🤞🤞
Living it up in Hawaii. Ryan and Sam-a-gram are amazing people. You're very lucky.
Thank you for everything!! You inspired me and in a short time I’ve stepped up my sushi game!!

@@TheDadFaxs that would be sweet to visit Florida! I live in Utah, not even CLOSE to as a diversity of fish. Thanks, I'll check em out
@@Guythatfishes I'm in Iowa now been here for 16 years. I'll be heading to Gulf Coast of Mississippi this year. I'm done with snow and cold.
I disagree, Ryan seems exhausting af to be around. Talks too much for one.
@@c_h6 he's a UA-camr with a very large following. Maybe you should check out his channel and video's before you shit on the man
Love watching your plating! Inspires me and gives me new ideas to try! Great video Taku!
Masterpiece platter. Great job putting everything together!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this video it was mesmerizing if this is the direction your going in I love it. The editing was GREAT
Beautiful to watch and great vibes from everyone .

Ordered some kelp chili crisp a while ago, excited to use it as a garnish on a sashimi dish!
My dad is one of those fresh off the boat people and when we caught Mahi in the Gulf of Mexico he cut the belly meat off of it and we had sashimi. Still warm and it was the best I've ever had.
Ryan seeing "I hope you never leave" with a longing look in his eyes😂😂😂
LEGENDARY EPIC TOO MUCH BRAIN OVERLOADED....

Never had b4 but thinking can do mahi, like lomi salmon and/or lomi o'io. Or maybe as in fishcake?
liked the soundtrack to this vid taku!
Taku and Joslyn, minpachi in Hawaiian is u’u.
The large eye red fish is my favorite that’s called “ Aweoweo“
Great video Taku. How about catching that Kona crab while you are at it?
keep up the great work you got this!
Loving the Hawaiian content!
Taku, make sure you try Hawaiian style oxtail soup braddah! 🤙🏽
Yezza love these hawai’i videos🤙🏽
The carcasses would make heavenly soup.
