    In Cambodia after extracting the cream out of the coconut meat, we would mix it with palm sugar or or brown sugar or any sugar to your liking and frying on frying pan without oil until it turns brown. You can eat it the way it is or you can sprinkle it on the rice balls and eat them with your fried fish.

      They can. I always used 300lb mono trace and rarely if ever lost a lure to ono. Big marlin yes but because they died and sank. Smaller 250 under no prob. Always sad to lose one from heart attack just didnt have te equipt and was not targetting that size. Caught a 60lb cuda ten minutrs later at same 1/4 mile offshore. And caught a Black that true to form charged our boat hitting 20 yrs off stern. Got him but boy scary. Actually mahi worst. My buddy got 2 each 12'0s through his calf . My calf would have broke. He cut tge line and said keep fishing till we got to dock and bolt cutters. Thank god for beer.

    Damn, that was a high wire act! First you almost knocked the cleaver off the table, then you risked impaling yourself getting the husks off the coconuts. I love how the fishing was such a minor part of the video. The prep, the cooking and in this case the interaction with the people of the Island was special.

  • @Tui1Hit
    @Tui1Hit Рік тому +1

    Loved it, reminded me of home (Tonga) growing up there as a kid. Grated countless number of coconuts. 'Ota is Tongan as well for raw fish dish in coconut cream, polo (red hot pepper), lime juice, green onion, cucumber and tomato, my favourite dish. Taku learned it real fast on the island and can fit in nicely as a local. The Niuean language is most closely related to Tongan than any other Polynesian languages. In fact, "Tongan and Niuean form the Tongic subgroup of the Polynesian languages. Niuean also has a number of influences from Samoan and Eastern Polynesian languages."

    27:50 / 31:22 I can tell the taste by watching. It's a similar recipe here in the Philippines called "kinilaw", our local version of ceviche. Especially in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Where some parts of the regions also add coconut milk or even fresh milk onto the coconut vinegar which it's acidity cooks the raw fish. Yum!

When combined w/arrowroot or tapioca flour & heated until high simmer, poured into regular cookie sheet pan or 6x6 brownie/cake pan & chilled, overnight is preferable...VOILA/TADA=Hawaiian haupia "pudding!"
