Thank you so much for your videos, and perspective on life,family and community! You get frustrated sometimes when Buddy is demanding, but please don’t stop doing what you’re doing,and including him,because he is well on his way to emulating your strong well centered demeanor and adventurous spirit. I am a 49 yr old woman that was raised in the Sierras of California just west of Lake Tahoe. My dad was not a sportsman hunting and fishing. We did grow up on the lake waterskiing. So I love water. However I have always had a desire to learn. I am now blessed to live on the Coast at the California Oregon boarder. Learning every day more and more, by doing and watching videos such as yours. I live vicariously through your families adventures, and excited to get to watch Buddy grow up in this amazing way! Thank you again, don’t ever stop being you Tawny
I tried this recipe twice this week with my local catch. First time with a Kelp Greenling whole absolutely amazing. However I was the only one to clean my plate because of the small bones. So I did it again with the Rock Cod I caught the same day. But this time filleted , left the skin on and deboned. All clean plates!!! Tawny
I was taught at an early age that if you want to know the true beauty of your woman, you must first look to her mother. You, Justin, are assured beauty for the rest of your days and are truly a blessed and lucky man‼️🙌💯🥰
My children and I love your videos so much. My son, 6, and my daughter, 4, are so inspired by your content. Fish was at the center of every family meal growing up and it's a very precious thing to see my children so interested in catching and curating beautiful family meals now. Thank you for being so wonderful.
The look on your moms and buddy’s face was priceless. Oh how I miss the steamed Moi. My time in Hawaii was the best 5 years of my life. Mahalo for all you do to reconnect us to the sea and land. Diving the Gulf of Mexico isn’t the same.
The way you looked at your husband as you gave him a bite of your fish made me tear up.. I love you Kim! 🌈❤️ you have the biggest heart🌴❤️ God bless you and your precious family 😘
I am so elated that I found your channel. I am so drawn in by the harvesting, fishing, and then cooking and using what God has naturally given us. I have a garden here in Atlanta, GA. Not very big, but yields some good fresh food year round. My husband hunts also. I tag along when I can. We have a deep freezer full of deer, raccoon, etc. Thank you so much for sharing your family with us! MAD LOVE!
I may live in the desert and have no idea how to swim but your videos are a favorite of mine to watch with my 7 month old son. Thank you for sharing your joy and family.
I love it, Kimi remind us all of the importance of the good relationship between man and nature. In addition, the importance of sharing all that with their loved ones. It is really beautiful!
From one underwater hunter and food lover to another -from the cold Denmark to the warm Hawaii, thank you from the bottom of my heart for another wonderful little adventure and food inspiration in your wonderful life. Stay safe 🤟🏻🌊🐟🦞🐙
Since I moved to the mainland, you bring back the island life memories to keep the island in all of us... Mahalo and we all love watching your videos...
I love the way to do many things in single time, watching out buddy, eyes contact with your husband and cooking. I so much adore you, typical mother who I want to be. Keep being the genuine of yourself.
The thoroughness of your explanation as you cook is always on point. And your voice is soothing and calm. From the ocean floor to the table with confidence and your own style of aloha elegance. Mahalo nui loa.
Beautiful and wholesome content. I don't know who is more photogenic, Buddy or your mom. I feel so calm and peaceful after watching these videos. Hawaii is a bucket list trip for me, for sure.
Alii , I absolutely love watching you but I have really enjoyed watching buddy through these months. He’s a beautiful blessing thank you for sharing him 🥰 beautiful family
Hi Kimi! I've been instastalking you for years and loved all of your ocean adventures. I looked forward to the different locations that you would dive at. I loved diving as a young girl and never had anyone to look up to as a female diver. I'm so glad your paying it forward for our younger generation. Please continue the great work and videos. I look forward to many more and watching Buddy grow and learn from you. Much Mahalo and Aloha!! 😘
Mahalo Kimi for the great ocean to table video...brings back memories of my night dives on the windward side for big kumu, then steaming them the next day just like you for family. I can remember all the excitement and smiles when that beautiful fish was finally stalked, speared, cleaned, steamed and enjoyed!
Loved this video especially cause it shows how a lot of local people eat their fish back home in Hawai'i. Not only how we cook but appreciate the catch with our families and leaving nothing but bones on the pan. I always enjoy sharing your videos with my friends here in Pennsylvania where I go to college because they learn so much about the lifestyle back home. Thank you Kimi for inspiring me and getting me into not only spearfishing but also appreciating the lifestyle that comes with it.
Greetings from Culiacán Sinaloa Mexico, I used to live in Oahu from 2005 - 2008, my daughter was born in Honolulu. We love your videos, your adventures, your stories, and your recipes. Keep up the great work and we wish you the best. Take care of your family.
I want to try an extended stay in Hawaii. I could " Nanny " with Buddy in exchange for a safe place to pitch a 1-man tent... ablebee9@gmail.com. This is a genuine offer...
OK kimi when you are feeding your family and smiling there is nothing better . You truly make my lockdown soooo much better. Can't wait to try this steamed fish .Thanks for show us new ways of cooking and the dive equipment is amazing. Love to the whole family even grumpy your dad.
I can’t believe your channel hasn’t blown up! You are such an amazing woman and inspiration to anyone who wants to get involved in their food. I came upon your channel about a month ago, and i swear I’ve watched every episode twice. We all need to start thinking about what we eat more, thank you for that. I’m from a small reservation in Montana, and you’ve inspired me to garden and harvest more indigenous foods.
I cried happy tears at the end. The video capture of your family enjoying your fresh catch and the family moments felt so loving. I also know how absolutely delicious that meal had to have been. Steamed fresh fish and hot rice!!! My favorite. Awesome dialogue and video presentation. Thank you for sharing and teaching.
The hot oil on a steamed fish is a whole other world of flavor!!! I loved the storytelling of your dive and the transition into the cooking, super well done
Aloha from Cape Town Kimi! I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring a new community of spearfisherwomen. After I heard your story in Fishpeople in 2017 I was so captivated by the underwater world you spoke about, and in awe of how spearfishing allowed you to provide for your family, that I finally convinced my spearfisher partner to take me diving with him- and I shot my first yellowtail a year later! Learning to freedive has been a great big beautiful challenge and I learn more about myself every time I go. Bringing food home directly from the ocean to share with my family makes me feel so unbelievably empowered and strong. Mahalo for showing me what was possible- without discovering your story I might still just be watching my partner bring home delicious food instead of going and getting it myself! PS: love the recipes too!
Hats off to your little family, from one mum to another, what you are doing is so challenging! Coming from a Spanish family - now living In Australia without my heritage close by, it's lovely to be invited in and see your history, culture and normal life. You are an amazing mum teaching Buddy to love your traditions. (Loved seeing your mum.) You have inspired me to want to try something new and spearfish with my hubby. Keep safe and I hope to see more of your videos and handsome baby boy. 😊
Thank you Kimi and Justin! I feel the aloha in each of your videos! Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting viewers to live vicariously all the adventures, and the beautiful way of life of Hawaii through your videos!
Awwww, Kimi! Its sooooo wonderful to watch your videos, also when you are not in a good mood! I`m very proud of that great job you guys doing! And i am veeeery happy to see content like that! As always, its amazing!
2 reasons to only take the amount of fish you need, 1. You're not waisting any fish/ over fishing. 2. You need fish sooner so you can get back into the ocean more often. I love your videos. Stay safe.
This cooking video thing is no joke. My husband and I are making a little cooking video for his family's virtual Christmas cook-off - and dang it's a lot of work!!! You all make it look so beautiful and natural. Respect!
Kia Ora from Aotearoa New Zealand! There is a traditional Māori proverb here, Ma tini ma mano ka rapa te whai-meaning from unity is strength. That is what you demonstrate each time you share your world. Your friends, your family/whanau, your approach to life demonstrates that each time. Not to mention this is one incredible recipe. I just tried it tonight on snapper I caught earlier. Ka pai!
Such wholesome content. My daughter and I love watching your videos. It covers so many bases, adventures in harvesting, cute little Buddy, good cooking techniques, and wonderful family and friends. Thanks for making this great channel!
Thank you so much for everything you do! So far, I think my favorite episode was when you featured Ta'ape and showed that we can eat invasive species to be more sustainable. Seeing all the restaurants who have already started serving invasives was the most stoked I've been in quite a while. I look forward to your content every week. Thanks again for everything!
We love your show and look forward to moving to Hawaii. You have inspired my husband and I to live a simple and sustainable life. And be happier in these uncertain times.
These videos have it all for me. Beautiful shots, beautiful nature, beautiful people, great cooking. It is 100% genuine. Buddy is a star as is his mother! I enjoy every episode. Keep it up!!
Hey Kimi! I just want to say that I found your channel just this year and you’ve helped to reignite my love for the ocean! I’ve been surfing for the past year and now I want to learn to free dive because of you. I love how you respect the ocean and planet while showing love to your family by feeding them. Thank you for the videos and keep it up- I watch all your videos!
Thank you Kimi and Justin for sharing these beautiful family moments with us! I love seeing how you interact with and celebrate your family though providing a sustainably caught meal it is a true inspiration.
I love watching your channel! It’s been a staple in 2020 to watch a show with a cup of morning coffee. You’ve inspired thousands of people to be more involved with their food in world around them. Thank you for always making beautiful educational inspiring content! You’ve made me want to start spear fishing alpine lakes here in Colorado instead of fly fishing.
This is one of my favorite ways to prepare fish. So simple, flavorful, and delicious! I also really appreciate you always showcasing the hunt because there’s so much that goes into it. Such calm while under water and holding your breath (both you and Justin). Thanks for this video!
The way that Kimi looks at Justin after she gives him a bite is the sweetest thing ever
Yes, I notice that every time! So in love, right? :)
Yes 👍 I like that
Thank you so much for your videos, and perspective on life,family and community!

The best part is how your mom says ummm.... its the same way u do it.... I love how u include your family and friends with your videos....
'Oh, I'm the best' Love your mum haha!! Such a good episode again
I love your episodes featuring a single fish from ocean to table.
I love ❤️ it too
BEAUTIFUL camera work, seriously Justin knows his way around a camera. Story telling is on point as well! Thank you for such hard work!
I like 👍 too
My heart melts when buddy smirks. It’s like he’s a little grown person.. thank you for always putting out content from the heart 💗
Even though it’s 9pm in South Africa I literally feel like getting out of bed and making this yummy dish right now!
Your mom is hilarious. It’s so lovely to see her doing better. Watching you make that dish made me feel like home. Thank you ❤️
Buddy’s smile always brightens the day! Love to see him trying all the food. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
Can’t think of a better way to show someone you love them
Never been this early! Literally gasped when you poured the peanut oil over that fish - gorgeous!
Yes 👍 awesome
I have the BIGGEST SMILE when your Mom feeds Buddy🤗🤗🤗.
Loved the fishing part where they got tangled, good to see things don't always go to plan. Finished product looked quite tasty
My children and I love your videos so much. My son, 6, and my daughter, 4, are so inspired by your content. Fish was at the center of every family meal growing up and it's a very precious thing to see my children so interested in catching and curating beautiful family meals now. Thank you for being so wonderful.
One of the best steamed fishes I have ever seen in my life,and I've been in kitchens since my 20's. Congratulations. Hi, Buddy.
The look on your moms and buddy’s face was priceless. Oh how I miss the steamed Moi. My time in Hawaii was the best 5 years of my life. Mahalo for all you do to reconnect us to the sea and land. Diving the Gulf of Mexico isn’t the same.
I used to stare at my grandpa eating his steamed goat fish when I was a kid lol This brought back a lot of memories! Thanks for the recipe!
I definitely could *smell* it when watching it being plated. Brings back a lot of memories for sure. Especially my Grandma sucking out the eyeball. 😱
I love how in each of your videos you show how you caught the fish, it’s so important to know where your food comes from! I love your videos!!
Good job, Kimi! I was completely impressed with the two-for-one shot! Fish looked so yummy 😍
She did a great job 👏
The way you looked at your husband as you gave him a bite of your fish made me tear up.. I love you Kim! 🌈❤️ you have the biggest heart🌴❤️ God bless you and your precious family 😘
I love your videos Kimi (especially the Alaska series), appreciated your efforts.
How does she hold her breath for so long?!
I am so elated that I found your channel. I am so drawn in by the harvesting, fishing, and then cooking and using what God has naturally given us. I have a garden here in Atlanta, GA. Not very big, but yields some good fresh food year round. My husband hunts also. I tag along when I can.

I can’t wait to go diving now, and I love how you are with your family, it’s so inspirational
I may live in the desert and have no idea how to swim but your videos are a favorite of mine to watch with my 7 month old son. Thank you for sharing your joy and family.
we love you buddy would love that set up love coming all the way from the Caribbean
Love it too
I love it, Kimi remind us all of the importance of the good relationship between man and nature. In addition, the importance of sharing all that with their loved ones. It is really beautiful!
"Oh I'm the best" omg Kimi's mom is amazing
Amazing old lady
Your cooking narration is so natural now, its like we are sitting in the kitchen with you and mom watching you. Keep up the good work
That was a staple dish on the table at my Popo's, when you could get kumu. She also did it with mullet.
this would work with any non flaky white fish.
Kimi, you are an amazing mother, wife, and Steward of mother ocean. I hope this message finds you and your family well. Mahalo
I really love that you share videos where you cook for your mom, it’s so beautiful to see you all together. The part where she’s feeds buddy 🥺
Buddy has a great personality and is always camera ready. His look when asked if he painted the picture was priceless. 💗💯 Another great one 😁
It's neat to see your Mom and Buddy interact!
Your parents seem like lovely people! I see where you get your vibrant spirit from!👍
From one underwater hunter and food lover to another -from the cold Denmark to the warm Hawaii, thank you from the bottom of my heart for another wonderful little adventure and food inspiration in your wonderful life.
Stay safe 🤟🏻🌊🐟🦞🐙
My 4 yr old son and I love watching your videos! Buddy is adorable, it’s wonderful watching him grow up!

Looks really good. Thank you for sharing!!😊
Delicious as always! Thanks for posting Kimi.

I so enjoyed this video. Mahalo. I’m living in Vegas now and seeing the real culture makes my heart so happy. Aloha and many more successful dives

Shocked how it only took two dives! Absolutely amazing. Made me feel so hungry though watching this. Thanks for sharing x

Another great harvest-to-table presentation. These continue to bring joy and welcomed distraction from the daily chaos. Mahalo!!

kumu is and will always be my favorite!
I admire your free dive skills but your cooking is over the top. Thanks for this.

So amaze to watch your channel. Not many women can do what you do. Love it and God bless.
Thank you so much for everything you do! So far, I think my favorite episode was when you featured Ta'ape and showed that we can eat invasive species to be more sustainable. Seeing all the restaurants who have already started serving invasives was the most stoked I've been in quite a while. I look forward to your content every week. Thanks again for everything!
Family time is so precious..thanks for putting this video together!
What really makes the food more delicious is eating and sharing it with family especially with mom and dad. ♥️
Really nice grounds that you were diving in. Your videos are one of the few that I fully watch from start till ending with no skipping.
I adore all your videos. I live in London now, but I watch your videos to connect to home. Thank you for sharing the aloha spirit so authentically!
Idk why but I teared up when your mom fed buddy first and then got to try the fish after 🥺💕
Kimi delighted us with honest and entertaining episode about a single fish. :) keep it coming
Your mom looks great! Thanks for sharing your family with us!
We love your show and look forward to moving to Hawaii. You have inspired my husband and I to live a simple and sustainable life. And be happier in these uncertain times.
Thank you for blessing us weekly with your amazing videos. I make almost every single one of your recipes daily😁. I look forward to them.

Thank you for always making beautiful educational inspiring content! You’ve made me want to start spear fishing alpine lakes here in Colorado instead of fly fishing.
This is one of my favorite ways to prepare fish. So simple, flavorful, and delicious! I also really appreciate you always showcasing the hunt because there’s so much that goes into it. Such calm while under water and holding your breath (both you and Justin). Thanks for this video!
I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Many Mahalos Kimi.
