Invasive IGUANA & Snakehead- Catch Clean Cook- AMAZING Iguana Recipe!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2020
- ** Both Iguanas and Snakeheads are invasive and highly encouraged by the FWC to be removed from our ecosystem. Everything you see in this video abides with FWC's laws and animals were dispatched humanely**
This is one of my favorite videos to date. James, Mitchell and I set out to catch some of Florida's most INVASIVE species. The Bullseye Snakehead and Green Iguana are two highly invasive and destructive species, that were released into the wild and have since flourished. Iguanas are often kept as pets and when they get too big, people release them into wild. Florida is the perfect environment for these reptiles. My buddy James is a professional chef and he made an amazing meal out of these two animals. Fried iguana legs with a soy ginger garlic sauce and pan seared snakehead made this catch clean cook really come to life! The iguana recipe and snakehead recipe were beyond incredible!

Who wants to see more Iguana recipes? Big Papa Swole were coming after you next time!
I would love to spent a day with you deep sea fishing
Definitely!! ❤️
you didn't... I've hit these things with my truck in Hollywood, can't believe you're cooking them up. I always support your "no fish is trash fish", but Idk about iguana..
I watch Landshark All the time,how much would it cost too send me 2 Big ignanas here in Pensacola Florida I would love too try them out
Yessir
Nobody:
Me at 3am: Watching these guys tie iguanas up as hostages
Bwahaha 🤣 (underrated)
😆
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂✌🏼
Thanks for making me feel better about the fact that it's currently only 1am while im watching the iguana binding
😂
"What's your favorite kind of food?"
"The invasive kind."
Thank you for not having a 15 minute intro like everyone else. Straight to fishing, straight to the point. Right on.
.... you must not like it when people have intros spanning about 15 minutes or so?
@@jameandthegiantpeach2273 do you..?
@@jameandthegiantpeach2273 Lmao
@@adamgriffy7575 ...😬👍
I second that!!
My mom survived the Korean War and married an American GI who fed her what he could hunt, catch or dig. He taught me to appreciate the lives of what we harvested and find the enjoyment of the hunt. I am happy you showed how to clean these creatures because my next trip to FLA I am going to hit up a sports shop and try to catch and cook both of these species. We have owned sporting shops in Mass for over 50 years. Excellent video!!
If everyone in Florida ate those two dishes, the invasiveness would go away overnight. It's all about eating the enemy.
iguanas, how could they be so many... they are scary. But i would want them extinct.
You should rewrite the book art of war
@@eduardochavacano Neither is to write home about,taste wise
Hope python tastes good too then. That one may be a difficult one to get rid of for you guys in FL.
Thanks for the war tips, eating anyone I shoot in WWIII
My pet iguana seeing this: You're not gonna eat me right?
Me considering that the world will probably end in 2020: *P E R H A P S*
Mike Gee hilarious
😂🤣
When DIO has a pet iguana
@@egmoment362 you are an absolute Don for this comment
Lol
Man this video is so educational while being aware that some people might find this weird when it should be not! Keep up the good work man
I'm in awe how all this turned out. Not having had iguana before (or snakehead) I was pretty skeptical but this truly looks divine. Well done!
“We don’t want to draw any unwanted attention” he says as he’s walking an iguana on a fishing rod
Pretty standard for florida
Have you seen any peeps in Florida? There a different species compared to the rest of us...and Texans.....we are dangerous if angered
This is Florida, that would not be unusual
very normal for us in Miami/Fort Lauderdale
Bruh it’s Florida I think someone walking an iguana is prolly normal over there
The iguana being held up in the beginning is just like fml
H&M Science stolen comment
Its dead...
@@FusionC6 It is not dead at that point That’s why the tape is on them.
As you asked, only hit the like for James. He was remarkable in this video.
Thanks for the content.
I truly wish I could "like" more than just once. Well done. Both of you, thank you.
As someone who has never seen an iguana in the wild, I was freaking out when you said you were going to eat them. Thanks for the education. Learn something new every day.
They make good taco meat.. if you can catch em..
I see them everyday big ones small ones
They are invasive here in Florida so it’s encouraged to hunt them. A lot of people say they are very tasty 😋
@@1985toyotacamry what area have seen them
@@royaljames3233 Broward County and Palm Beach County usually in parking lots. I have a picture of it just for me going to a chicken place
It's nice to see Florida man well dressed and eating somewhat normal food at a table. Ya know, instead of being naked and eating a person's face in the street.
Lmaoooo
That’s was fuckn hilarious 😂
Bro', face tastes just like chicken.
Oops.... 😬🤐🥴👀🤫🤣
😂😂😂😂 CLASSIC!
Victor thank you for the video you are literally the Jacques Cousteau of Florida I want to say thank you again for this educational video much appreciated.
Man, stumbled onto this channel, and I am DIGGING it! Heck, I am not a huge fisherman (my teenage son is!), but I love EATING good fish and love watching cool, sort of exotic--especially salt water/off-shore--fishing vids! Your channel has got my attention; I have already watched about 6 vids in like two days! I loved this one because, being a bit of an enviro-hound, I love the idea of making the very best of an invasive species, the Snakehead. I had always heard they made good eating, and this vid proved it. NOW, I need to try it. Keep up the great work: you vids are well-done, educational, and entertaining! Fish on!
I’ve been a chef for 20+ years and James did well. A chef can tell in a few minutes. They way he cooks fish is legit. Well done
@Bob Marley do you cook in south Florida
Wow. I could tell in just a few seconds.
I just started cooking last year, definitely learned a few things here. And it just popped up on my newsfeed! Lol, catch and cook videos are my favorite.
I’m an environmental science student. I’ve never understood the issue with hunting, especially invasive species. And you’re right, they live much better lives. Keep it up. :)
I see iguanas as a pet not food, but I guess all animals could be food.
@@nicholasaesch3813
I had a pet bull on the farm.....
I gotta tell you he tasted mighty good.
What do you mean they live much better lives? They get eaten...
We humans are the one and only invasive species, we brought other invasive species to places they couldnt get on their own.
@@johnpadilla4661 They’re not living in cramped spaces the way factory farm animals are, which is the majority of what you’ll find in a grocery store. No tails being cut off to prevent biting like pigs, no debeaking like chickens, no force feeding like geese, no taking of their day old calves like cows. I’m not saying they don’t die, but they don’t suffer in the same way that the majority of animals we raise with the intention of eating on large scales normally do. I’d rather see something wild or with room to move and take a single bullet/arrow/hook/whatever than be kept in poor conditions that poorly impact their quality of life, the mental health of the slaughterhouse employees, and the environment and community having to deal with agricultural by-products that negatively impact those living in the surrounding areas.
truly inspiring. What a great meal. Great friends and family. James! You are pristine my man.
Very nice surf n turf guys! James, very nice home meal! Would love to see your on the job work! As a professional chef I gotta say you nailed the fish sear, love what ya said about the pan heat and the just one side sear with a kiss on the other right before plating
That first iguanas expression after being taped and waved around: "FML" lmao
If iguanas ever make it to Louisiana we will end the invasion lol
They probably did make it.....DID!
They could make a whole brand of pet food using them and they could make a good buck
Iguana: oh hello Do you know the quickest way to town?
Mike D: *Yeah its back the way you came*
Yea y’all pretty much ruin all populations lmao
@@jamesr9207 how so?
Great work on the entire video. Would love to try iguana out some day. I may need to take a trip to Florida! James is a legit chef!
Iguanas seem so peaceful they don’t even react when they were being taped up. Such cool creatures
When I was in the Army in 1985, we went on a mission to Nicaragua and Honduras. In Nicaragua, we were confined to a small base and we only had C-rations (MREs were in the near future). The locals would bring us Iguanas and trade them for our crappy C-rats. I will always remember those little BBQs that we had. Scrumptious!
I'm originally from Nicaragua and i do remember my mom cooking iguana and it supposed to cure a lot of sickness , but the most common is the soup , we call it sopa de garrobo .
BBQ bamboo chicken~
Thank you for your service
How was Honduras?
Panama here, got shot at often, learn fast wear uniform as less as possible.
I didn't expect the "listen to this" *knock* *knock* *knock*
You can tell our boy yames is a true chef. He's still cleaning and prepping while everyone else is chowing down
I appreciate this video and what a nice pleasant family and all you guys are friendly and great personalities. No egos or pretense at all. Thanks.
I appreciate their wanting to treat the animals in a humane ways but still addressing that these animals are invasive and need to go. I think it’s also cool that they are showing a new protein that’s not the traditional American live stock/fish we eat.
And that's why the invasive species are STILL there! DESTROY THEM PERIOD!
They don't treat them in a humane way 🤮
Imagine thinking land that belongs to animals is yours…. Lmao ignorant fools
@@allannelson10 that’s not what they mean the animals that are naturally from that area are cool what makes them invasive is when they are brought from another region of the world and come in and start killing off the natural wild life that previously inhabited the area
@@n55rj39 Idk how I didn’t think of that but thank you for the insight.
It’s incredible how we completely skipped the hunting process as we’ve evolved. Even more astonishing how someone can feel offended by the process
Zo Kay Yes humans reaching a point where we can chose something other then being a killer is digression....
Let’s just all be cavemen amirite?
@@ZoeyEldritch bro I love drinking diseased water and fearing for my life everyday
@@ZoeyEldritch so people who choose to live off of nature offend you? Clearly you have no grasp on the horrors in farming even in vegan farming as it's all done on an industrial scale now down home farming is completely acceptable free range or nothing I always say
Alex Cunningham So people making a valid point offends you and leads you to assuming who and what they are?
I live in West Virginia, hunt, and large portions of my diet are either hunted caught or raised by me or a local farmer I get food from such as beef.
But I’m not such a tribalistic dipshit that I think the whole world should live and be like me and I actually think it is a good thing different people have different ways of life. Back in olden times a farmer didn’t need to make his tools and a blacksmith didn’t need to raise cattle because they traded their goods. Not every human being had to kill and be okay with killing.
Further more you don’t need the rest of humanity to agree with you and your way of life to be happy. I sure don’t need others to validate myself, if someone doesn’t agree with hunting. Fine by me there is places for them to live and be with like minded people.
Grow up and realize the planet doesn’t have to be full of nothing but people that are exactly like you.
@@ZoeyEldritch damn who hurt u
Great editing and content. I couldn’t stop watching
Not gonna lie, you were right about that Snakehead filet. I definitely want to go catch one and give it a try on the kitchen. Appreciate the videos man, great stuff!
Interesting fact: Snakehead are able to breath air and live outside of water in a moist environment for up to 4 days. You can leave them alive till you eat them
What???? Omg
@@user-ie5qy7me9j crazy right?? will scare the hell out of you when you hear it kick in the fridge late night lol
@@Lindrios lmao😂🤣🤣🤣
moist
And iguanas can live up to 20 years.
Love how he said “I’m just gunna wrap it a couple times so it’s not like hurting him “ knowing damn well he’s about too cook the fella 😭😂 loved the video !
Yeah even though you're going to kill them it's cool not to torture them.
This was awesome - great job James!
Man, this video makes life look comfortable. I wish I can get to that point some day.
Plan to retire in Florida soon. I now know what to do in Florida to save me on grocery bills. Thank U ,very educational.....
No rrason to be too poor in florida i see
Yeah i wish i lived where iguana was plentiful.
@@lukewarm2075 add lionfish n python too. Texas u get wild boars new Orleans naturia aka wild rats 5 bucks everytime u kill one plus fur coat too
@@kenfern2259 The best part is you're doing mother earth a favor while simultaneously providing food and a pleasurable past-time for yourself.
Enjoy retirement congratulations dude
Dude can cook. I see a lot of BS of people using flavors that don’t mix or the same flavors every time but I feel like this guy gets it
I’ve never had iguana before but wow it looks so good lol and the fish entree was delicious looking as well
I’m here for fishing videos but wow man you are a real adventure man…keep up the good work,greetings from Greece 🤘🤘
I've watching a bunch of y'all's videos today. It's fun watching you guys fish, and Yames is an inspirational Chef. The man cooks with passion.
Just an excellent video , from catching, to cleaning,to cooking, to presentation , everything is excellent , and what is great is that its so easy to tell how much fun you guys were having the whole time ! Peace & blessings !
Awesome catch and cook! Yames is a rockstar in the kitchen!
Absolutely beautiful! And healthy too! Love that he added black rice! Super healthy
That was awesome guys! Great job, and important to spread the message of humanely stopping invasive species 🙌
The lizards were HUMANELY dispatched???
Rich Osthoff yes I would say that those iguanas were put down humanely. I would say the only thing that was inhumane here was they let the fish just “drown”, instead of putting a knife in the spinal column or brain cavity. Just to speed up the process, vs them gasping for air, which also sometimes soils the meat due to the hormone rush.
Mike Gee Hate to be the bearer of bad news but stray cats and dogs are a big problem too. Specifically cats as they are often kept as "outside cats" and do a lot of damage to the ecosystems that they’re set loose in. I don’t know if it was ever passed but there was talk of a bill that would classify stray cats as invasive/pests similar to wild hogs.
Yeah man link up
@ariely flame the fish suffocates on land no dis but that's probably the word you were looking for instead of drowning. :)
I like this channel better than most fishing channel cause their isnt a 45 minute apology/excuse why their keeping fish. It's nice to see just filling the box and feeding folks
I agree! Reasons to keep a fish... 1, it's a legal catch....2... I CAUGHT IT AND I WANNA EAT It. When doing legal things, people need to move along.
Honestly if you like nasty canal fish from south Florida. More power to ya! These canals are full of nasty chemicals and garbage. Eat them all up for me. When you get a nasty Cancer or grow a third body part I hope you enjoy it. I'm born and raised in FTL. I would not consume any fish from a canal. Enjoy!! Fill that box for me!
@@reelemin7864 cancer causing agents are everywhere. They're in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the food you eat. Not just a "nasty" Florida canal.
@@jordansdad1221 Well there you go. One less toxicity to put in your body.
R.I.P. the basics of English.
really cool video guys. especially the foodie part. thanks
That was a really cool video!!
A great watch and awesome idea!
You could have labeled this video...
“5 star chef cooks our family a great meal”
Man, that looked amazing! Great video!
Dude dont defend or apologize for your actions. If people don't like what you do screw em. You've done nothing wrong.
Your 💯 right My dude
@@isiahphotogang4886 Aw, negative points for not knowing how to spell "you're."
The Bandit King my bad
Playing a role in and being part of ecosystem means you care for the ecosystem. Conservation biology 101, hunting and controlling an invasive species is positive for the environment!
@@labbyshepherdpuppy5943 Next thing for Victor should be Python tacos.
Absolute great video. I was locking my lips the entire time!
This video is one of the best catch clean cook I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot.
I just can’t get my head around how you guys just have these giant lizards walking around, in the UK it’s just pigeons and foxes
Yooooo hallooooo
Shit these are small. There are invasive Nile monitors that get much bigger. Like 2.5 meters. Also pythons that can be 6m long.
And the feral hogs are EVERYWHERE
Did somebody on here say Pigeons I love Pigeons.
Pigeons are tasty......foxes......I don't know
James should make a cooking channel. He is really good at cooking!
I agree!!
Watched around 10 of your videos and liked them all , for me this one was a step up, mostly prep and presentation but things are headed the right direction
I absolutely love this video!!!! Please do more of these.
Imagine a glass of wine with that meal, amazing chef, makes me wish I never moved out of Florida. Plz make more catch n cook vids, awesome stuff!!!!
Yeah!
Being a retired Chef myself I know the satisfaction that he is feeling it's almost indescribable I commend you both looked fantastic I don't know why I'm wasting my time in California love and respect you guys God bless.
Thank you my friend!
lots of good fishing in California!
Damn he threw down for real! That guys a great chef, good job y'all!
I appreciate how u educate us on what your doing an why
Just happened to come across this video
I think it's awesome that you guys have caught 2 species that destroy stuff. Absolutely love it! Ty for explaining everything btw as well! I appreciate that you do that bc I had no idea. Especially bc I am from Delaware & we don't have Iguanas running around like Florida. Great video. Looking forward to watching your others as well.
I am absolutely in love with that dinner table. that is the most beautiful table I've ever seen.
epoxy resin? looks like it
Brilliant! Talk about totally using you resources! Keep it up bro👍💪🤙
I just subscribed and gave you thumbs up I like your videos they're pretty cool I like that you catch invasive species and cook them showing people that it's okay to eat the invasive species
Don't HATE 'em, EAT 'em!! Great video!!!
I’m just on an adventure clicking every first video UA-cam recommends me.... wish me luck 👌
Very professional of James on his craft … He takes pride in his meals , I do too my boy I do too , love your channel and your family , food looked great , family is very sweet , wish my fiancé and I could come to try some iguana , never had any lol , I’m in Texas …
Man...I never thought that a meal of iguana and snakehead would make me hungry..great work...hello and God bless from SoCal!!
This is up there at the top catch and cooks on this channel. Top 5 for sure!!!
great job in educating on multiple uncommon sourced proteins! James DEFINITELY needs his own channel, the guy is a wizard!!
Awesome video guys!!
I never knew there were so many snakeheads in Florida! It’s crazy how much they have spread as fast as they have…. But when there at the top of the food chain Thats going to happen…
you guys are great and true conservationists in the preservation of our environment. shout out to you... from stuart walker at you tube...
This is the first of your videos I've watched and this is epic
The way he just yeets the stuff that he doesn’t need 😂🤣
It all goes back to the sea,something will eat it.
At those fish cutting stations,pelicans will just chill there,knowing there gona get some good fish scraps
One tip when casting soft body frogs is that after the blowup, you wait for a few seconds before setting the hook in, increases the chances of hooking it
LOVE that you are using what you cull
This popped up in my recommended videos,so glad it did,just subbed,looking forward to many more,and damn that food looked spectacular.
You are lucky to have a friend like that, that Yames has mad skills. Great to see you using invasive species. I was surprised iguana was edible. It also looked delicious.
Everything was good and thwn he said "professional chef by nature" 😅😂👏👍
I'm a native Floridian now living in Minnesota (?). Hunting is a major pastime up here and nobody gives cleaning and butchering game a second thought. I hope you can get more people use the environment, and since there's no season on iguanas or snakeheads, so go for it!
wow very impress by chef Yames "The Man".
Always love your fishing videos. Much Love Victor, Up here from MA.
Thank you!
Geeeez that looks so good! 🤤🤤🤤I would like to hire yames to be my personal chef, straight up. My mouth has been drooling since I saw the snakehead fileted, but once yames started whipping it up...... OooooOooOOOooooO boy! Talk about mouth watering. I'm sucker for good food and one of my personal favorite styles is that very fresh style with lots of peppers and limes and garlic and mangos, kinda like an Asian meets carribean, meets south American, meets sea food... I better stop bc i know I ain't getting nothing that good today, and I'm (and yall) are just teasing me at this point. Never had iguana, but it is absolutely on my list now! Thanks for the awesome video! You got a new sub here! (I came from "catch em all"s channel, I gotta say, you're much easier to watch. It's kind of hard watching him sometimes bc he's so hyper and repetitive. You're much calmer and act more realistic and less show offy. Which is cool) OK, I'm out. Comment over. Finally. 👌🏽👍🏼🤤🤤🦎🦎🎣🐡🐟
Vic you gotta do all the kitchen prep in slow mo with the effects and music before every catch and cook now. That’s next level cinematics
There's only one word to describe cooking and preparing iguana and snakehead magnificent
Whenever viktor post it makes my day
Thank you Thomas!
Greetings from Australia. My God, that is cooking on steroids. Very impressive.
Wowwwww...I'm so impressed by all of this deliciousness(if that's a word 😆)...thanks for all the hard work to bring us this inspiration...
Must be great to have a professional chef like James as a friend. I'm wondering if a common joe like myself could make these critters edible.
The cook did a good job of explaining what and how he was cooking everything
Love that you are helping eliminate invasive animals and showing awesome recipes as well. Just found this channel, really dig it.
Yet they let the first three back in the water. Lmao🤷🏼
@@MereTaDelConque
Too small to keep
I Love that you are teaching people what they can do with invasive species. Humans are very capable of eliminating a species when they want to.
Dude that was an amazing video! The Iguana you cut up was the size of the pet one I had! I ALWAYS wondered how he would taste! Lol
I was so grossed out at first just seeing the caption and then I was wowed at the end
James that plate looks amazing I'm literally swallowing my saliva
Beautiful cooking. Thanks for the vid.
I think I’m in love with yames ❤️
I watched this with my pet iguana to assert dominance
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gosh, it ain’t like I’m uncomfortable with killing and eating the iguana, it’s the peeling off the skin like a sock XD
Impressive but mildly disturbing lol.
Update: finished the video and even though I just ate I’m hungry again. That looks so freaking amazing. I live in Florida as well and I hope I can find someone who can cook this stuff.
people peeling Bad....... Iguana peeling GOOD!!! seriously guy’s, florida could make the big bucks by going commercial and doing online sales of both snakehead filets as well as iguana meat, the money’s brought in could go to a fund to help rebuild area’s destroyed by the hurricanes and tornadoes, as
well as just getting rid of these invasive species a Lot faster.. I live in louisiana and would love to get some iguana meat and snakehead fillet frozen and shipped. as for the video, I loved every minute of it and would love the recipe for the sweet potato and ginger soup (bisque ?) also the ratio of flour to cornstarch ratio for dipping the iguana wings? was it one cup of cornstarch to 1/2 cup of flour?? also would love the recipe for the dressing for the wings??
sorry for the long post. I subscribed too...
You very well could just throw it on the grill like it is but most people would gut it atleast .
Some people enjoy them with the skin on
This was a ride start to finish, bravo.
