@@jovahsangel you just did by leaving a comment on this video. Sounds like a great opportunity to meet some good people with good wholesome values that will teaches the good old ways on how to do things the way our forefathers did when starting this nation. Good luck to you as well as to me my friend. Aloha
Can't wait to be doing all this again!
I think we are all excited for another Outdoor California Catch and Cook Chef Life episode!
YES!! Foraging is back! I've said it before, there is plenty of fishing videos on UA-cam, but teaching people how to safely forage is what really sets CNCC apart form all the others.
I harvested my first mussel thanks to you.
Always excited to watch a new video every week. I always recommend your channel to my friends.
You bring back so many child hood memories, I lived at the California coast.
- *"Edible && incredible"* is certainly right ✅️ 🙌🏽!

Kevin! I would love to join you on a costal foraging adventure.
Your philosophy of keeping the old ways alive resonates deeply with me. The "old ways" of living is what got civilization to where it is now. It would be a shame to lose that knowledge. Not only that, but the old way of living was a harmonious relationship with the earth and it inhabitants. This knowledge desperately needs to be shared and passed on to the next generation. I would like to be a part of that knowledge transfer.
Also, I am a freediver and can do spearfishing as well ;)
I'm a city boy who has never foraged for food but I love watching your videos. I think it would make great content watching you guide someone as clueless as myself!
Can’t wait to experience coastal forage catch and cook.
Wow your brother is the man! Way to succeed with the bow drill 🔥🔥🔥
Agreed! Especially since I did not tell him until 5 min before. Then I was like "hey man, can you whip up a driftwood bowdrill real quick and get a fire going?" Barely got the camera going and he was saying "dude, bring me kindling!" Thanks for watching.
Hey Kevin, you seem to be super knowledgeable on foraging and I would love to learn some stuff from you. I got into spearfishing a little over a year ago which eventually led me to your channel. Love watching you make the best of what nature has to offer.
The exact exchange "It's good!" "It's good?" "Yeah, it's real good" happened at least three times in the video hahahaha. great one as always!
"You never told me what you thought of the wine!" "It's good!" "Good? What kind of an opinion is that?" "A good one!" - Bottle Shock
Very interesting can't wait to watch your next adventure
Nice sir thank you for the video
Hi Kevin, I am an ER Nurse from L.A. who loves nature and the outdoors. I would love to learn foraging and maybe some underwater Catch N Cook as well. I thoroughly enjoy watching your vids, helps me decompress from a 12 hour shift. You're one of my outlets that helps me keep grounded and re-energized. Keep posting amigo. -BE AMAZING!
We could try to catch and cook underwater, but it might be hard to get a fire going! Lol, just teasing. Thanks for the kind words and support!
Catch N Cook California LOL, thanks for replying. -BE AMAZING!
That was a fun day. Its always nice spending time with you two.
Hell yeah man! Let's get some more survival/bushcraft trips going! Thanks again for making the fire!
I gave a thumbs up just for brother making and using the bow drill... nice
Since all of the driftwood there had a higher moisture content due to proximity to the high tide mark and the higher humidity of nightly coastal fog, I was super impressed how easily he got that going. He said that in the first run, he was just friction-warming the board and spindle to dry them out a bit before going for an ember. Then, the next thing he knew, it was looking really good so he went for it and got the ember on the first try! That is why we didn't have any kindling prepared yet lol. Thanks for watching!
Diane is VERY fortunate.
Very cool making the bow drill !!!
Loved the video, brought me back to my 2 month beach camp out where we often ate mussels and the occasional surf perch and a Dungeness crab. Would love to get back to the coast for sum foraging and feasting. Keep em coming..
Two months!? That sounds like a dream! Thanks for watching!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Did a lot of bodysurfing as well 😊
My boyfriend and I recently got into foraging and we’d BE SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY if we got to learn from the best from you! We like diving, camping, and most importantly cooking the fruits of our labor. We live in the Bay and would love to meet you, Diane, and Mochi!! 🥰
Very nice ! Must be fun to go out and do that.
My stomach started growling when I watched your cookout, 😂 ran to the fridge for a sandwich
Hey Kevin! I was born and grew up in SF I didn’t know much about coastal foraging until I watched your videos! So fascinating and I binge watched all your videos! I would love to come hang out and learn how to forage the old way !!!
Completely underrated channel-great foraging, prep, and eating skills!
Looks so fun. I’m in Cali and have done this in my 20s
Hi Kevin!
Would like to come foraging - mainly to learn from you. As a father of 2 I would love to pass on knowledge to my son and daughter (7 and 5 years old) - to enjoy the outdoors, understand nature, and appreciate this beautiful world we get to enjoy. Thank you for offering this give away opportunity. Happy holidays to you and your family.
My pescatarian father-in-law is an avid free diver and was our abalone source until he couldnt anymore and I can sense his sadness for losing one of his favorite reasons to free dive. I saw a video of you in one of his old spots and showed him the plethora of other seafood he could forage for and he instantly subscribed to your channel. He’s the greatest father-in-law a girl could ever ask for and I would love for him to meet someone like you, with vast knowledge of the California coastline. He’s always a stickler on abiding by laws and is always so mindful about conservancy. I would love to win a chance for him to forage with you
Awesome video again my friend, we have been watching your videos and love catch and cook it makes videos entertaining.
I would love to win a foraging adventure with you guys! I've always been surrounded by a farm to table/foraging mindset since I was young with my parents growing a wide array of veggies on our backyard. Now that I have the opportunity to seek our my own foraging cravings, I've been intrigued by all of the catch n cook youtubers and wish I could learn from you guys. It would be an experience of a lifetime to be able to forage with your great knowledge and I'm sure it'll be a blast!
Loves the video, lots information, you’re are great...👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Another great video Kevin, love the variety in your foraging. I especially love seeing the shellfish in your content. Hoping to see more of it.
Thanks!
Oo!! Kevin!! Pick me!! You and some of the other youtubers (Outdoor Chef's Life and Fisherman's Life) you've collaborated with have recently inspired me to go out and attempt some coastal foraging during low tides. I've found that I really enjoy limpets and black tegulas and would have never known how delicious without coming across your channel. I would love to expand my foraging knowledge first hand from the master himself! I'd even be down for some free diving!
Nice video as so many are, May just be me but the outtakes are fun as well. Keep at it.
Great looking foraged meal.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
WHAT WAS THE SECRET CREATURE!? haha I'm so curious what Diane found! I would love to come out with ya'll! Got my girlfriend's little brother watching your videos, taking her out tomorrow for her first excursion. I grew up scrounging the Mendocino coast, last year I broke my hand and since I couldn't go out, it occurred to me I might vicariously get my sea-fix on youtube. I was not disappointed. You, outdoorcheflife and fishermanslife out here making that quality material. Also so encouraging to see a community that cares about foraging, about bush craft and fishing! I love it, the more people know and understand their land the more they can appreciate and respect it. Hopefully.
anyway, best wishes! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words and support David! Diane had a big kelp isopod on her hand and had never seen one before so it made her jump. Glad to hear you are getting out again. It was an injury that first led me to watch Fisherman's Life, and to eventually start this channel as well. Silver linings!
As a socal native, I’d love to join you on a foraging adventure and learn more of the “old ways” you share with all of us ! My boyfriend and I really enjoy watching your videos together and it would be cool to actually do it. Thank you for the opportunity with this giveaway!
I've been looking forward to another video. Been out side trying to clear the ice off our driveway. Big storm, then snow packed down and just enough warm weather to start melting. But it is creating a glacier at the end of our driveway. Looking forward to spring to look for mushrooms!
I have 5 grandchildren and, I'm teaching them to forage every chance I get. I've lived inland most of my life. I'd love to meet up and, learn more about coastal foraging.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of mushrooms and foraging, really enjoy the cooking and spending time with loved ones. The dish looked Delish 🥰
Thanks for the support!
Forage away. Man I was getting hungry just seeing all that great seafood! Keep up the good work , keeping California's fisheries sustainable. I wish everyone else felt the same.
I ate that with ya Thanks! I think we grew up very similar except I am here on the Washington coast. Bro rocked that fire. Respect. Digging butter clams genital like that also means less gritt folks. Save the give away for somebody it benefit more.
genital lol?
I like the brother ( It's good ) on everything he eats. LMFAO. I miss them days with my family camping and eating what we got from the sea. . TYVM for the video.
Its awesome that you do this.... and uni is really really good... the herbs you used were spot on for what you made i dont want to be chosen for anything but il definatley be watching way more of your videos
Omg! I moved here last year from undergrad/grad school in Missouri and Indiana where I first started appreciating and enjoying foraging for mushrooms and other wild edibles. Moving out here, I was soooo excited to start foraging and fishing fresh out of the ocean (not something you get to enjoy in the Midwest 😜). Your videos have helped me to learn for this bivalve foraging season, and getting to meet and go foraging with you guys would give an incredible insight and confidence in this new skill for me! Honestly, I would pay for foraging classes with you if you did them!
Happy to see the season is open for you- going to have to call here soon for my neck of the woods!
Love the videos, looks cold up there in the north, just now getting cold down here in SD
Good company, beautiful scenery, and delicious food. Great episode !
Thanks!
Originally being from the West coastand moving away for 16 years my family and I moved back 3 years and it has been my goal to help my children fall in love with the outdoors as I did when I was a child as we are always looking to further our gathering knowledge it would be a incredible experience to learn from somebody as versed as yourself
Just discovered your channel and am absolutely delighted that I did. Only recently got into sea foraging since the madness started and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done, thanks 🙏
Meanwhile, Fukushima continues to emit radioactive isotopes into the Pacific 24/7 for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years to come. Let's hope that the oceans can survive..... that Earth with all it's broad range of wildlife might, and that the three of you continue to appreciate what lie's before you.
Also, thanks for sharing your great days with the rest of us who never get to do those things.
What a day it will be when they stop building nuclear reactors. There is a hole in the top of Bodega Head, where they drilled and almost built one until the idiots bothered to ask a geologist. The geologist replied "Are you kidding me? Bodega head is smack dab in the middle of the San Andreas fault!" Had they built that, CA would have had the same fate as Fukushima. Shortsightedness is a scary thing when people play with such power!
Good video. Makes me hungry.
Wish I could forage with y'all but having some work done and will be incapacitated for a while. Still will be watching.
Unfortunately I live in FL, and due to saving up for a honeymoon that my wife and I never got, I couldn't afford to fly out to CA until late next year! I enjoy watching the coastal foraging and find it quite fascinating. Your videos are awesome, and quite educational Keep up the good work, and I hope that whoever you choose learns a lot and has the trip they've always wanted! Forage on my good sir!
Making me miss going out to the ocean. Great video! School and a day job puts a damper on nature time.
Awesome video! I used to get trophy abalone very close to this spot. Its great to still see them in the rocks :)
Thanks! Yeah, it is good to see a few, but honestly they are in so close because there is no food for them even 20 ft from shore. My theory is that the wave action near shore somehow prevents the purple urchin from colonizing this thin strip, so there still is a bit of seaweed there, and that is the only palace I am seeing abs of any significant numbers. It is very apparent when freediving. Hoping this situation changes soon so we can get back after those abs again!
Always good eats.
I am so jealous enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it! Glad we got out when we did as well. Now that our beaches are closed and the virus is everywhere, who knows when the next time will be when we can so casually sit and eat together around the fire on the sands of the California coast? That being said, I am bow-fishing, crawfish-ing, frogging, foraging, and bushcrafting a lot out here in the CA central valley... so there will be some great inland adventures coming to the channel soon!
Love the videos Kevin!
I absolutely love this, I can't believe you used sea water for cooking I mean how innovative
Thanks Carlos!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 going to try and plan a trip like this for my little family
I want to forage with you guys because i have NEVER DONE IT BEFORE and it looks like such an adventure and experience. Have you ever cooked clams in white wine, with garlic butter and parsley? Its delicious. Hey even if you dont pick me, its ok.. I challenge you to try and make a clam chowder. And get those bread bowls and cut the center of the bread out and fill it with clam chowder then use the middle of the bread that you removed to dip in your clam chowder. wonder if everyone caught there limit and threw them all together to make a clam chowder if it would come our tasty.?. i recently found bushcraft and im OBSESSED!. i live on the central coast of california in moss landing right between santa cruz and Monterey at the heart of the peninsula. Clam chowder. Make a clam chowder. That would be the best!
We made clam chowder a while back in this vid in bread bowls ua-cam.com/video/2e4er4jYxJg/v-deo.html
But we will be making another on the beach soon. We always like to make new recipes ... but sometimes, we have to repeat some because they are so good that they became classics for a reason! Thanks for watching!
Cool
Good stuff....back to the waiting game 😂
Lol, thanks. Had to slow down the uploads as I am trying to finish my PhD this year. Still have a ton of great footage to share, it's just a matter of finding time to edit it!
awesome vid
I'm here because I am planning to go to San Francisco on Saturday to get some mussels with my friends
I wish I read this comment a month ago. I hope you did not! Mussels are in quarantine! 800 553 4133
Love it. Now i need to try foraging. I do a lot of coastal fishing and crab snaring but never had the balls to eat the mussels or snails i find.
Mike, I highly recommend it! But be sure to call the Biotoxin Hotline first to ensure that the shellfish is safe to consume at the time you end up wanting to go. I also guide this stuff now in CA. catchncookca@gmail if you want more info. - Cheers
awesome! id love to forage together because i want to learn how to make fire, and the steamer clam shabu shabu
That shabu was soooo good!
Love the videos and it’s awesome to have Diane and your bro join you. As for the drive by shrooming, only you could pull that off, Brother. Lol I used to do that in Minnesota as a young chef driving through the countryside for Hen of the Woods. Another amazing edible!
Lions Mane! Incredibly awesome and totally rare and protected here in the Netherlands, so i grow it myself....good taste, especially with seafood!
I just found another in the mountains but it was young ... now that you have reminded me, I need to go back and harvest it!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 record it :D please...^^
Hello.. this is the first time I’ve seen your videos. I’m going to take this chance to ask you to choose me and my husband to come foraging with you. My husband is a die hard seafood lover and I’m a die hard forager. I love to walk in our country sides and parks to see what I can find that is edible.. I made a dandelion salad for my husband to take to work one day.. needless to say he wasn’t a happy camper. I’m a Minnesotan native that needs to get out and try some fresh seafood. (The lions mane looked pretty good also)
Great vid
Thanks!
Hey Kevin,
Been inspired by your videos to go out and forage myself. I would love to win and learn from your expertise and understand the do’s and don’ts of coastal foraging.
Thanks so much for the awesome videos!
Yum! I’ve not tried Uni. Whidbey Island WA here ✌️
Nice video keep it up! ❤️
My first time watching and definitely won't be my last. Very cool video, and I look forward to watching all your others. Hope you all are staying healthy, happy, and safe.
Thanks for checking out our channel! Stay safe!
That was an awesome video
Thanks buddy!
I wish I still lived in California so I could forage like ya'll do!
I’ll enter next time. All these people who are entering are so experienced and I’m excited to watch that video when it comes out. I personally would love to enter to show my future students about habit and sustainability:). Maybe next year when I get my credentials in biology🤞🏻
I’m so anxious definitely feels like Christmas happy holidays everybody
I would love to go on a foraging trip with you guys! Raised in Alabama relocated to NorCal and still trying to figure out all the West Coast forest and fisheries have to offer. Keep putting up the awesome vids!
Hey Bob, if you don’t mind me asking, whereabouts are you in the NS? I’m in Red Bluff, are you close by? Maybe we can do some fishing? Take care.
I’d love to forage with you as I share your free spirit for adventure and I love the challenge of cooking outdoors with whatever ingredients I can find. I didn’t grow up foraging so I’ll be sure to pass on the gained knowledge to my three young kids so the next generation will know the joy of sustainable foraging techniques.
Hey Kevin!!! I love your videos and would’ve never tried mussels, snails or limpets if I hadn’t seen your videos!!! I haven’t gathered any mussels yet this season but I keep calling the hotline and it is good to go in the Ventura area!!! Can’t wait to get out to the coastline and enjoy mother nature’s beauty and delicious offerings!
Nice! I used to gather mussels up near El Capitan on the Santa Barbara coast. They have implemented some big Marine Protected Areas (MPA's) up there, but you should find some good info on some solid and clean stretches up that way if you search where the MPA boarders are. Definitely cooked a batch or two of Ventura mussels during my time down that way as well! Just avoid the river mouth areas, especially soon after heavy rains. Good quail and rabbit out in National Forest that way as well.
The originality of this video is great! I said this before this channel deserves more followers. No special effects but great content 🤙
Wow that would be amazing to come out and forge with you so I can gather some experience off you to use when me and my wife go out and do are lil catch and cooks nothing better then to eat fresh right on the lake shore 😎😁 great vid
Nice editing and intro! I love your videos 👍🏻❤️
Thanks!
Great episode guys + Mochi!!
I would love to go and forage with you i know it would be a learning experience and i want to know more and living and eating on the bush and to be more self sustained with fishing hunting foraging I started to watch you about a year or so ago because of the wisdom you shared and to meet you in person to be able to ask you questions and to learn from you not just on the video but in person would be amazing if i was to be pick it would truly be life changing
Great video Kevin and Diane. Kevin I would love to come out foraging with you but it's a really long trip to come from Australia lol, so good luck to the person who wins. Michelle
Ur mad chill
I would love to go foraging with you i’ve learned a lot watching your videos and put it to use I live in Reno but I go to the ocean as much as I can I love when muscle and clam season open up I’m trying to learn the areas around me and learn what fisheries are more sustainable because we love to catch and cook ourselves The whole reason I fish and forage is because I love to cook that’s where it started I’ve been showing a whole New World of providing food for yourself to my kids and I just still don’t know enough I barely know anything about foraging for mushrooms and plant edibles spend more time in the tides collecting stuff I know won’t kill me that’s the main thing I guess is having the confidence to make that decision on your own if something is OK to eat thank you very much for all your great videos I love your lifestyle and I’m trying to raiseMy kids like this and they love it toWe are all trying to move to the coast Thanks for showing us the great things you know and your girlfriends great recipes
Fantastic video guys, loved it!
Mochi is just ... kick ass without even trying 😂 cool video keep it up and stay safe my dude
Follow up question - have you considered using a steamer basket? Less water, less time, less fuel - strain the fume and consume - good stuff, Maynard!
Not a bad idea. I have one for that pot, but find it limits how much I can put in there lol. Maybe a taste comparison is in order? This could compare how long it takes to cook one method vs another and how much flavor is in the end product.
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Yeah, you guys almost always look like you're "capacity challenged"? For those "closer to the cars" adventures, a bigger pot and basket might be nice? Lots of concentrated flavor in the fume, I don't think you'll be disappointed. You have any access to hogs? I got the air rifle for that.
Best food in the world
First great vid thanks for sharing.
I want to go because I'm from Chicago and have never been on the west coast plus a little scape from the terrible weather will help my mental health 😂 not that I'm sick but it's really stressful being trapped inside hibernating.
Thank you so much your videos help a lot
Grew up in PNW remember digging razor clams as a kid. Then worked on commercial fishing boat from junior high through college. So love the west cost. But my best foraging was a 10 octopus while on Okinawa.
Cheers.
Love your videos! Hericium erinaceus is such an awesome find.
That dog though, so beautiful🥰
That urchin looked good and hope to find a time to get clams soon!
YUM, wild food in the outdoors
Aloha from A Fisherman's Life!
Hey Kevin. Lets take my boat up to lake sonoma, we can hunt for chantrelles and hogs. Im dying to get into mushroom hunting but reluctant to go with a field guide book alone. With these rains there should be a lot more movement. I have a 14 ft aluminum, i keep inviting Hunter out but he wont go. I got a few local spots the boat works at for small game, upland, and waterfowl. Last year at Lake Sonoma I saw millions of what I thought were chantrelles, but didnt know about IDing them.
Sounds fun! Pretty sure you are not allowed to harvest fungi there though. Been a while since I went for hogs, but Martijn and I have been talking about going again ever since I came across a bed and wallow with my brother last season while looking for quail!
