Every Monday at six pm it feels as if we're at the keys. Your videos take me down there every week and you put such a personal touch on it, it feels as if we're visiting an old friend. Aaron, you're the best channel out there, thank you so much for sharing!!
really love to hear that! makes me wanna keep making videos! haha
Agreed
Amen, brother. Amen!
The Bob Ross of the Florida Keys. Mild mannered, easy speaking and creates art with his cooking. You're doing great man.
haha thanks so much! just trying to enjoy life as it comes!
From the Philippines here and now living in NC, you got that kinilaw recipe right! You're saying it right too. Never tried it with coconut milk but I'll guess you can't go wrong the coconut milk. Calamansi or calamondin is a very sour little citrus fruit that is popular in Asia, especially in the Philippines used for drinks similar to lemonade or used in cooking or food preparation like kinilaw. The tree is sold as cuttings there in FLA and thrives in FLA weather.
You can add cucumber to put a bit of crunch to the kinilaw. The fresher the fish, the sweeter the taste. Love from the PH 🇵🇭
haha love to hear it! and thats what im hearing, we have them locally. def gonna try to find some!
Tampa Farmers market might have some Calamondin or calamansi. Kini'law. 👍
Just an observation, it’s really authentic to see Aaron taste his food. Every other UA-camr tosses a bite in their mouth and before they have even tasted it immediately starts talking about how great it is. Good on you Aaron. Salt of the earth fella.
gotta let the flavors talk to me! really appreciate it! 🙏
Great job! Love the attitude towards life and things in general. I too use your channel to remind me that the 'grind' I am currently working will lead to something better someday soon (aiming for Mauritius in 2024).
My Filipina wife (from Basilan Island, southern PI) says the following:
- Kin-nee-lao
- Kal-uh-man-see (I asked if pronouncing it with my American 'z' is acceptable and got a firm negative head shake, lol) (I also asked if the same word was used for the singular and plural, and she said yes)
She also reports:
- The fish will cook faster with a bit of hand churning in the coconut vinegar, and yes, it should be cooked lightly to a white color on all sides (to your taste, of course);
- Then gently hand squeeze the vinegar out of the fish and discard the vinegar;
- All other ingredients, including the calmansi juice can go straight in with the fish immediately after that; and
- The calamansi juice can stay in the mix and doesn't need to be removed.
The wide variety of Sour Oranges in your region (Keys, Bahamas, and Greater Caribbean) are the traditional equivalent for many of the island cultures in your area. I grew up in the Bahamas and we had Sour Orange trees that we juiced and drank 'lemonade' style and used for conch salad marinade.
It wasn't until I watched your video and queried my wife that I realized that the Filipino Calamansi that are imported to our neighborhood grocer in the Middle East are the culinary equivalent of Sour Oranges, even though they aren't the same species!
I guess I was thrown off by the size of the calamansi, as they do look so similar to a very, very small lime (about half the size of a lime), and the sour oranges of the Bahamas were so large by comparison, generally equaling the size of a normal orange. But I now realize that the flesh of both fruits looks similar, and the juice is used for the same purposes: something more sour and tart than an orange, and sweeter than a lime or a lemon.
Another observation is that I was getting confused by online photos that showed the calamansi as having an orange skin color. I have never seen an orange skinned calamansi. My wife says that they generally get ripe and they are consumed before the skin becomes yellow or orange in the Philippines (and the same for in our house).
And further, Australian media reports that calamansi will ripen to a green or yellowish skin when grown in a tropical climate. But, those grown in more temperate sub-tropical areas will often get enough of a chill to start the reaction that allows the ripe fruits to have an orange skin. That describes much of Florida, and would explain why the calamansi of Florida might be more likely to be found (and photographed) with an orange skin when ripe.
In any case, glad you enjoyed the kinilaw, and my wife says you did GREAT!
all good info! I really appreciate you sharing and tell her thank you! haha thanks so much for watching.
As kids, we'd sneak into the woods in our neighborhood to cook hot dogs or marshmallows over a small fire. This is the paradise version. You are truly blessed.
haha love it!
Really dig that you’re not out there killing more than you need for the sake of views. One of many reasons KWW is the best. I’ll be down there for a month in April-may. Definitely trying this recipe while I’m there! Thanks Aaron !
just can't bring myself to do it! glad you enjoyed it and hope you have a good trip!
Love it when you share the little secret zones down there, All those little islands 🤙🏼 I follow and watch your content because you are the epitome of a sustainable fisherman, doesn't see him you compromise your ethics ever and that's amazing especially because you can basically hunt in an aquarium. Hoop a lot of young people out there watching, and for the old folks as well take note 👍🏼
love to hear you enjoy it and appreciate the kind words! just trying to enjoy life as It comes and hopefully do al little good if I can. 🙏

Breathtaking views, Aaron! Thanks so much for sharing and caring about the ocean. You truly are a blessing. Your luch looked delicious 😋
thanks for coming along! glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Dang awesome video! Thanks for taking us along and sharing what is a dream for a lot of us viewers! The fact that you don't blow loud music at us especially during the drone shots is so refreshing!!!! The peace and quiet during the shots is what some UA-camrs miss the mark on. Thank you for that!
love to hear you enjoy it! we used music a while back and it just never sat right. thanks for the feedback 🙏
Thanks for the video Aaron, that looked really tasty. The beautiful weather and location, and that ceviche! Can't think of a better way to relax. Cheers...
glad you enjoyed it!
Man what a great setting to have a little picnic. That dish looked amazing. Thanks for brightening up my day.
thanks for tuning in!
Living the life !! Man I love these videos and what better day to post them up ! Makes the Monday blues feel so much better !!
Ceviche always looks on point and so delicious ! Beautiful scenery as well . A true Cast Away 🏝 As always thank you for sharing all this content so we can soak it all up !! Ready to pack my bags and get lost in the Keys........ or Costa Rica 😆!!
i'm trying! love to hear it!
You are the greatest guy on UA-cam. “I’m not going to go out and kill something just for the sake of killing something” you are a class act
haha glad you enjoy the videos! 🙏
Thank you for the feature, buddy! Kinilaw is from a region where I am from and man, that looks awesome! Soak the fish in vinegar for 5-10 mins then add everything in, you can add diced tomatoes next time. And you can definitely leave the sauce.. Well done, man! Cheers from Cebu, Philippines!
really appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed it!
Recipe looks delicious, drone footage is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for another video from paradise.
glad you enjoyed it!
Few people on this earth could do a video like this. Thank you.
Great prep work on the food.
Wonderful drone footage.
Well done.
🙏 glad you enjoyed it!
Bravo! KUDOS! Perhaps one of your best if not the best! You shared excellently the healing tranquility of nature's soft sounds wrapped in a Key's mangrove island backdrop. Excellent content, superb narration, artistic script, great camera/sound/drone coordination and mixing. KUDOS. 🤙👍✌️
This is awesome! My wife is Filipina and we just got back from Davao City, Philippines 2 weeks ago. If you're ever up in Melbourne, FL you'll have to come over for a true filipino party experience Karaoke, LOTS OF FOOD and some Red Horse to drink. Love the videos keep killin it!
haha love it! thanks so much for tuning in 🙏
Love The RH bro😝😝🍺
From Philippines here, you got the kinilaw recipe right, you pronounced it right, even the plastic bowl is right haha, yep that's how we do it. Subscribed! Mabuhay and fish on sir!
haha love to hear it! thanks so much!
After a difficult day it is just so relaxing watching your videos with a cold beer, thanks for sharing.
love to hear it!
The video I look forward to all week long!
haha thanks for watching!
I love ceviche and make it a lot at home. I had never heard of Kinilaw until this video. DEFINITELY going to whip some up this weekend. Thanks!
it was amazing! gotta try it
Love your videos. Minutes 15 to 18 calmed my spirit. Good choice for no sound. Keep up the great work.
love to hear it 🙏
It’s nice to see time stop and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery in our great state. That was very peaceful and thank you for sharing. Great video again my friend
glad you enjoyed it!
Always need peaceful time to ourselves and I always went to my favorite little island since I was a kid growing up in Key Largo! Right on! Love the show brother!!
amen to that! thanks for tuning in!
My new fav show Capitan. Thanks for the recipe and prep- the views of the area is captivating. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Looking forward to your next show! Bid you continued success
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much
Really appreciate and enjoy the variety of episodes you put on your channel.
glad you enjoy it! 🙏
Such a great video - a different perspective as well as a magnificent magical island. Thanks for sharing
thanks for coming along!
I'm half Filipino and was born there. Cool seeing you try this dish. Calamansi is a small citris fruit that looks like a small orange when ripe. They actually grow really well here in South Florida. You can sometimes find small trees at Home Depot. Love the drone shots. Another awesome video Aaron.! 🤙
thats what im hearing will have to look into them! thanks for tuning in!
I agree you are blessed to have that living environment and we are blessed by your sharing it. thanks again
wouldn't change it for the world!
Shoutout Aaron. I’m a Filipino living here in Delaware.
Love all ur videos
love to hear it! 🙏
Great different video, that Seviche must have been really good for you to be scraping the bottom of the bowl like that. Congratulations to the two winners even if neither one of them were us. Thanks for taking us with you Aaron.
haha it was lovely !
Son, you are so blessed. I lived in Florida(WinterHaven) as little girl, i'm almost 70 now, what I wouldn't give to have lived down in the Keys and fish and just live like you and your sweety do....love you guys....
I wont argue that! its a lovely place for sure!
Noice opening drone shot AA Ron. Water looks mint. What a great place for a cook up. 🤙🏿🤜🏽🤛🏽👍🏾👍🏾🐟🐟
glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Arron. Great stuff, as always.
glad you enjoyed it!
Great day, great times. Cool how the current pushing the sand thru the cut changes all the time. Stay safe.
yup! its always so cool to see thanks for watching!
Beautiful scenery from the most amazing place the Keys thank you for taking us along Aaron.
glad you enjoyed it!
Man Aaron I dig your channel. Great energy.
love to hear it! thanks for tuning in 🙏
Another great one buddy! You are just living the life
im trying! thanks so much for watching!
thanks for featuring one of our best dish,, proud Filipino here🤜🤛
happy to! it was amazing!
My Monday has now been completed!!! What a beautiful spot!!! Thank you for what you do man. Sometimes maybe people in front of the camera don’t realize what satisfaction the folks behind it get from it!!!
glad you enjoyed it!
Man, that drone footage is sweet. Really gives a great perspective on surrounding topography . Nice work, Aaron.
definitely gives some different perspectives! love that thing!
Love it dude, Kinilaw. Grew up in the Philippines, now living in Tampa and I kayak fish the bay often. Keep the content coming! 🙏
It was awesome! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Super cool of you to do giveaways man, appreciate all you do!
happy to give back! thanks for watching 🙏
The Gheenoe and that region fit like hand and glove. So simple and seemingly easy to scoot out there unencumbered by the logistics of boat and gear, just to poke around. Reminds me of being a kid with a small aluminum boat (no motor) on a canal where I spent most of my time. Good stuff.
they really are perfect! thanks for coming along 🙏
Your kinilaw was spot on sir, thanks for featuring. Like that drone clips without music, more peaceful and relaxing. Watching from the Philippines, keep safe.
love to hear it! thanks so much
Awesome video as always Aaron, keep um coming ty and fair winds and calm seas
thanks for watching!
So peaceful and tranquil Aaron! Very impressed to hear you say that you won't kill something for the sale of a video. That's why I look so forward to every Monday's new release!!
so happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🙏
My friend has a calamsi bush at 7th and seidenberg if you want them fresh.Kinilaw has daikon radish alot of times as well. Calamansi is often mixed with soy, ginger, garlic and fresh chilis as a dipping sauce for everything in the Philippines. My brother is down here (in key west) for another month and spearfished with the native tribe in the Philippines for 8 years. You guys should meet up.
that is awesome! appreciate the info thats pretty cool!
Awesome video, as always, and a nice use of fresh tuna. I'm sitting here at the camp in North Louisiana with a blanket over me and the heater on. I'm 30 feet from the river bank, have hams in the smoker, and all I can think about is how I'd like to be back in the tropics. Each week you bring me to where I'd rather be and I thank you for it.
that doesn't sound so bad either! haha glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats to the winners! Another great video, I love the drone shots showing off your paradise! Keep ‘em coming Aaron!
glad you enjoyed it!
Stoked you have done kinilaw. You can also mixed in grilled pork (sliced in dice after grilling), its called SINUGLAW here in the Philippine.
will have to give that a try! thanks so much for watching!
You are a very daring fellow. Thanks for trusting us. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
thanks for watching!
Just got done working 9+hrs as an engineer, waiting for my trip to the keys. Thanks for making the grind easier Aaron.
what kind of engineering do you do? I'm in college to be an engineer right now but not sure if I want to stay with that major or not.
@@slimsqde7397 quality engineering, you don't need a ton of schooling for my realm. Some education and a cert from ASQ will get you a job in the field. Real engineering like mechanical or nuclear is a tough one. After 20 years I can tell you that the hardest thing in the engineering field is dealing with other engineers haha. We're all correct and all have the right answer... it can truly be frustrating. But as long as you stay in school you'll win either way. Trust me, also start saving money, I wish I would've done that in my 20's. Good luck!
@@ShipMonster apreciate the advice bro, and right now im going for mechanical engineering, im just worried ab the math aspect of it and if ill be able to do it or not
really love too hear that! 🙏
Wow, you did it right. Happy you did this dish from Philippines. I am a pilipino living abroad. I think you can do kinilaw to almost all kind of fish. But tuna is perfect. But what we do first is we cook the fish from vinegar and remove the juice and do what you did to the tuna. Fish on!
love to hear it! thanks so much 🙏
Been awhile since I have caught a video this early.. LOL Always look forward to Monday and a new Key West !!!!! Good eats !!! Cheers !
haha love it!
Great video,that food seemed amazing,and that spot you picked makes everyone want to move there
haha thanks for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman sure thing
love the vids Aaron keep up the great work!
im tryin!
You have dialed in on the basics, just lacking friends and sharing a good drink to make it the best kinilaw. Good job!
haha right! I just enjoy the quiet sometimes.
I love to cook and it makes sense that the onions and ginger weren’t as harsh, when you add an acid like lemon juice or vinegar to onions and let it sit for a couple minutes it’s called deflaming them. Love your videos!
learn something new everyday! thanks so much for watching
Great video Aaron. What an awesome spot.
glad you enjoyed it! lovely area for sure
Your opening comments say it all, Respect man. My Father taught me, don't kill it unless you plan to eat it.
🙏
What a great hideout...
I totally enjoyed the drone footage...
I have not tried ceviche yet...
TNX 4 VID LOL
thanks for tuning in!
I'm in love...with your thinking spot, lol! That recipe looks amazing! Congratulations to Elail (?) I hope I didn't butcher that name, and Nicole!!! I have to tell you Aaron, my blood pressure has been a new issue for me lately, I purposely took it while watching your video. It was normal, as in when I was in my best health normal. You're a true gem, I love how you take our minds out of the craziness and bring us back to the true sense of survival...simplicity. Have a wonderful week Aaron and Madeleine!
that is amazing! 🙏 really makes my day to hear that.
What a great vid! I love ceviche so I am going to have to give this Kinilaw a spin. Those deep channels around some of the Islands were so interesting.
it was wonderful, we've already had it again since then.
BEAUTIFUL SHOTS!!!
glad you enjoyed them!
I've been following you aaron long time and I'm very happy you make a perfect kinilaw from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤❤
I tried! haha thanks so much
Nice nice video. I found my favorite spots just cruising around. Nice job 👌👌
thats what its all about!
Holy smokes this video has a lot of comments! I'm not a Pinoy, but I lived there for 2 years and (used to be) and still am somewhat fluent in Tagalog. It really doesn't matter, and Philippinos won't correct you, but the 'i' is always pronounced like ee or key. So the kini in kinilaw will sound like the end of the word bikini. Again, nobody cares, and Filipinos are too polite by nature to call people out on pronunciation. It is such a great place, the people are the best. I love the Philippines. Another seafood Filipino recipe I was blown away with is squid cooked in coconut milk and ginger (adobong pusit sa gata).
well hopefully I did it some justice either way! thanks so much for watching 🙏
Another cracking video mate
glad you enjoyed it!
Just sat down in my favorite chair, to watch my favorite channel.
love to hear it!
That looks good I’ll try that over rice. We’re heading down to Ocean’s Edge in May throw me a couple of your fav restaurants to try. Keep them coming.
it was great! def gotta try
Currently in the Keys and enjoying the views. Great video!
haha love to hear it!
A must try…now to catch a tuna! Fun episode, you changed it up well. Do it again soon! Thx, Andrew
haha they are out there! thanks for watching!
You nailed that kinilaw recipe, man! You should also try doing 'sinugba' and 'tinuwa'. With your kinilaw, you'll have the trinity of 'SUTUKIL'. Look it up!
I will look it up! thank you!
So awesome brother amazing video so peaceful, so relaxing can’t wait for the next one
glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video Dibs! Except maybe the coconut milk, that ‘ceviche’ looked beyond fantastic. Thank you for pulling other people’s food into your life. Great seeing Tuna. So cute
glad you enjoyed it!
All those islands and a wrecked boat to explore, so much fun!
haha thanks for tuning in!
Im filipino and I always watch your video’s and this just made my Monday even better 🎉
love to hear it! thanks so much!
Pumped for this vid!
haha love to hear it!
I really like what you did with the audio at the beginning and end!
love to hear it!
I just wanted to thank you for being the quiet in the storm... a little get away in youtube land.
🙏
I’m going to find some coconut vinegar today! That looks delicious!!! Thanks Aaron.
haha love to hear it!
New to the channel I do a lot of fishing here on the west coast near st Pete but these videos are dope bro keep up the work!
welcome to the channel and love to hear it! 🙏
Aaron just bought some coconut vinegar can't wait to try on some ceviche ! Give Maddy a hug for me keep up the great vids !!!
it sure was good! haha thanks for watching!
One thing I most admired about my father was his way of conjuring fun or adventure from nothing. We never had much, so he became expert at it. You dropping in on a little spot, with 5 gallon buckets and lunch on the agenda puts me in mind those times.
I come from humble beginnings as well. my parents did everything in their power to make the most of it. I like to think i'm a better person because of it. thanks for sharing 🙏
I lived in Key West back in the 70s we were house band for sloppy Joe's . I haven't been back since 82
Man I spearfishing watching your videos is the next best thing I'm too old for that now but I enjoy watching you get after it.
Thanks
too funny! was a different world back then im sure! thanks for watching!
Good on you brotherman! I'm glad you liked that recipe, cheers!
glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Grace and Peace; Excellent !!!
thank you! 🙏
Scenic shots!!! OH YEAH!!!
haha thanks for watching!
Sweet,like to see some change up as well my friend. Good decision, haven't even watched the hole vid yet. Cool can't wait.
thanks for coming along!
Awesome.....that flat off the island looked like great bonefish habitat. .....ever see any there ??
I haven't actually.
Great job on the pronunciation Aaron! You can use key lime to substitute for calamansi. Calamansi is sweeter and less acidic. This video was so mouth watering for me. I love tuna kinilaw! 🥰👌
haha thank you! and appreciate the info, was so good!
@@KeyWestWaterman Will try coconut milk 🥰
Wow, a lot of Filipinos are watching/subscribed to your channel. Maddie must try the Kinilaw. :D -from the Philippines.
she did and loved it! thanks for watching 🙏
Great video...I really liked the coconut vinegar...I did not know there was such a thing and I go to the Asian market at least once a week. I will look for it the next time I am in there.
haha learn something new everyday! was new for me as well.
