    Brought tears to my eyes too. That was sweet gift. And the riffing on “Forever Youngs” was felt by all of us, I’m sure. You remind me of the 40 years (this year) my wife and I have had together. Keep adventuring!❤

    Just wanted to share this Italian recipe/dish that was passed down to me from my late granddad from Italy. It’s very easy and you can put your own twist on it.
    Season your fillets salt, pepper, etc.
    Dip in egg wash and batter with Italian bread crumbs or Panco. Pan sear each side in olive or avacodo oil. When second side is almost done, sprinkle shredded parmigiana on it and cover until melted.
    I know you have cooked a lot of different recipes on here. Some folks don’t like cheese on fish but it’s really tasty. Add your own twist to it and enjoy. Thanks for all of your vids!
    God Bless

    Old Bay use demonstrates how well you understand seafood in the kitchen. It’s an essential seafood additive, isn’t it? Great stuff. I’d watch you hunt wild hogs. In fact, I like doing it myself. Due to advanced age and mobility disorders, I’m a sniper with a 30.06. I discovered a recipe for smaller wild hog shoulders that works every time. I use an aluminum pan like is used to cook Turkeys, cover the shoulders with tons of sweet onion slices, soak in Mojo, actually make the onions float. Bake covered in foil on grill for a really long time. Enjoy. Hello Will and Madeline.

    They won’t be selling many of these Mangrove Snapper burger dogs at the Hogfish but they do look great and I’m sure were delicious. I should stop in at Hurricane Hole Marina and introduce myself next time I come to town for a haircut. I could probably ask around and find you guys pretty easily. We probably have a lot in common. I too used to live in Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island many years ago. I discovered the Keys in the early seventies while escaping weather too cold for surfing and too rough for surf fishing and diving near Cape Canaveral. Thanks for another interesting video. You guys live and show off the real Florida Keys lifestyle. What people see here is to me, pretty typical. Most of us really aren’t fancy people and we love our seafood in most any form. Even burger dog crab cake fish cakes. 😊 It takes extra work to afford to be here to take advantage of this very cool place to live. Well worth it in my opinion.

    Nice vid. I never knew why grunts were called grunts before (12:00). Too obvious!
    I also liked seeing 19:00 how you filet the fish: keeping each side attached to the fish at the tail and flipping the side so you can skin it easily by using the rest of the still attached fish makes perfect sense.
    The salmon filets I get from the grocery store, I always have to start slowly and get an exposed tab of skin to grip with. Having the whole fish makes your technique a wise one.

    In Stuart where I am I started diving this past fall focusing on Mangroves, primarily due to watching your videos. I hit tiny islands as the tide creeps up on an incoming tide for water clarity. I shoot one Mangrove for every ten fish I shoot because it is so difficult to find the bigger ones. I agree, it is near impossible. However, I do enjoy the black drum and sheepshead i shoot when the mangroves do not cooperate.

    Aaron, This is way off topic for your video, but I've noticed in several of your videos the "thud, thud, thud" of walking across the Kitchen floor. I'm wondering if you have access to the underside of the floor joists? We had a similar situation and had a company come in and spray insulate the underside. It makes a HUGE difference. And bonus, is also a tax write off for heating / cooling. Love you guys! Keep it up buddy!
