yeah, now we have highly processed "vegan" food, thats literally genetically modified or smashed full of chemicals. vegans freak me out. Eat natural, eat meat, dont be a soy boy
@@jhamelin119 I agree with your main idea here. I think though that your being freaked out here is due to lack of understanding of the things you're mentioning. A lot of meat substitutes are created in restaurants and then refined in a "lab" to reach a larger set of consumers. Not to convert people to veganism, (though there are those out there and too many of them) but mostly as an effort to preserve balance in our ecosystems and be more sustainable. I'd highly suggest that you look up David Zilber, he's one of the former head chefs of NOMA past #1 restaurant in the world. He is a huge promoter of plant protein, though not a vegan. He is phenomenally intelligent and does an excellent job explaining why plant based proteins are actually important to humanity and also does a good job de-mystifying lab techniques in food (he ran the NOMA fermentation lab for years) P.S. I hunt and fish, but eat mostly plants.
I've been hunting twice in my life. Once for upland birds with no luck, and once for deer bagging a spike buck. Even still I can't get enough of Steve! Such a unique blend of rugged outdoorsman and poet.
It’s awesome to see someone “famous” in Alaska hunting and fishing. I’ve lived here 36 years and haven’t had quite a meal that looked like that you kill it steve
I would love if every episode was a catch clean cook episode! Steve's unrivaled attention to detail in every step is something i can only dream to one day achieve.
My buddy goes out every season, hasn’t taken a deer in years. He just goes out, shuts off the phone, and listens to nature and the planet wake up. I didn’t appreciate solitude and quiet until I went on my first hunt, and then I realized how loud it isn’t actually quiet at all, but it’s the sound of nature and life. It’s a pretty amazing experience.
Love the cooking episodes, but I enjoy seeing the care and skill you put into preparing the meals shared with friends and family at the end of the episode. I'm proudest as a sportsman and a cook when I get to see others enjoying what I have made.
Fantastic video! I especially liked the last statement; ",...When you share the meat, you get extra blessings". I share a lot of the venison I bring home each year. I feel extra blessed as I can still hunt at the young age of 74!
I went to Mexico last November and this episode really reminded me of my trip. I shot quail and cottontail in AZ, went to Mexico and cause lobster, snails, varieties of fish, and clams. A woman living in a shack taught me to shuck the clams, a man showed me how to break down lobster, and I cooked a variety of foods for the natives. I made white people food: quail stew, lobster bisque, and some Mexican food: green chili rabbit, and suviche. It was an amazing trip and the notices loved everything, especially the quail stew.
Something about being way up north on the water, no one around. It's just you and your small boat with a tiller motor, that cannot be beat. Takes me back to my genetic roots as a hunter gatherer.
Cook your crab in seawater( not salted water) whenever possible, it makes all the difference & if your oil crowds on 1 side of the pan then adjust the feet on the stove until level.
I hope he saved all of those shrimp heads and shells to boil for stock. Shrimp stock packs a huge flavor punch, and it elevates just about anything that it is used in. Keeping some shrimp stock frozen in the freezer is as worthwhile as keeping around duck or bacon fat.
I've just discovered your channel today and it's some of the best content I've ever seen. It's amazing that show everything from the hunt, right up to the dinner table. Excellent narration and editing. You do a great job explaining everything as you go along without sounding like you're giving a lecture. Fantastic work and please keep it up.
I've been hunting and used to trap in North Dakota when I was a kid. I've been hunting white tails, elk birds for 55years this kid is a fine representation of a outdoors man. Thanks for the enjoyable videos. Hunting season upon us. Thank you young man for great food ideas for the deer hunting season.
I used to own a upland hunting service in NW Kansas called Jayhawk Outfitting. I had a very nice couple from Alaska that hunted with us every fall. They commented one time that the only thing they really missed living in AK was fresh tomatoes. My folks happened to have a huge garden and we decided to trade fresh tomatoes air shipped for king crab legs. We sent them 50 pounds of garden fresh tomatoes and they shipped us 20 pounds of king crab fresh off the boat. Hands down the best ever!
Can i just say, its really nice to NOT see comments here such as "OH! That poor crab getting tortured like that" etc etc like you see on Fb. Its hunting, harvesting, and survival. ITS FOOD! Thank you MeatEater for some prime entertainment aswell as knowledge. More people need to learn exactly how to hunt/fish properly and not walk around acting as if they're a serial killer. PRESERVATION is everything to a good outdoorsman.
Wow, you have some of the best, fresh seafood techniques I've ever seen. I really respect how you leave the bones in as well. The bones (although slightly inconvenient) add flavor and also help cook the fish evenly as they conduct heat. Cheers and keep up the awesome work.
Usually when you'd say 'I got a rock fish' it means you've got snagged on the bottom. Killer seeing these guys you caught. Awesome episode, brother. Never short of inspiring and wonderful. 🎣❤
Tip for extending freezer life of seafood such as prawns,freeze them in a container or bag full of saltwater. Freshwater will work but saltwater is better. 😉 And yes they are called prawns. We do have shrimp in the North Pacific and they are big as well. Coon stripe shrimp, humpback shrimp, etc. but Steve was catching spot prawns not shrimp.
It's exactly that. Beautiful to the sight, to the touch and if you get some fresh snow, to the taste. Get lost in the woods or have your car break down, hope you brought yourself some warm clothes because it can be fatal.
16:50 reminded me of a " Trick " we used to use when we got [ freshwater lake type ] Clams. > ( ' In Southern California ' ). You put them in a Tray add Water and ( wht.) Corn Bread flour ! Leave overnight, And in the Morning they will have " expelled " all of the Sand and Crud that's in Them ! It's an easy way to clean ! ( when your not shelling them / > > { It's been 40 Yrs} ) .
Love the fact that you throw in the not level stove lol i have the same problem. I like how you live your life like a simple man no fancy kitchen no fancy house tho you could easily afford it. Shows your true self nothing less.
I just leveled my stove this past week after almost 5 years of using it with a tilt towards the operator. Just had to turn two bolts on the front and it raised it up to level. It's been lifechanging.
Being from the PNW, I can get most of this literally 1/4 mile from my door. Especially the clams and crab. I prefer Mussels to clams. I pulled many a ton out the water.
You would have a field day in South Louisiana, redfish, bass, crappie, bream , speckled trout, shrimp, blue crabs, crawfish, oysters and COLD BEER.....Come on down MeatEater ...Love your show man
Always cook crab in sea water if possible with an extra cup of rock salt. Spot prawns should be done rare, they are even good raw. Don't let fresh water touch your seafood. Still a great video as always.
Just got to say wow! I made the crab frittata, and it was awesome. My wife is not one for egg dishes and she said she loved it. Steven you have some awesome dishes keep up the great channel cant wait to try some of the other dishes you make....
I've lived in Alaska most of my life and have never seen anyone take a machete to a crab.... But, the end result seems the same. As for the clams - A Tlingit elder once told me that when they started hearing the hooters (blue grouse) they knew it was time to quit harvesting bivalves. The red tides typically start in the spring with warmer water.
Try gnocchi with a basil or pistachio pesto add any grilled white meat and frying pan toasted panko bread crumbs and crushed pistachios as a topping. You’re welcome in advance;). I think the spotted prawns would be great like that.

@@keishii no, its gross garbage.
It's not a broken system. There's just too many people to feed.
Hunting shows are a dime a dozen. What sets MeatEater apart are shows like these. By far my favorite episodes are cooking and preparation.
These Alaskan seafood episodes always make me hungry 😂
@11:17 my stomach growled
@@ray817oneDEEP what, him standing there in front of the cabin ? Strange....
Same, I gotta stop watching this while im fasting hahaha
Nowonder I just ate 2 🥪 😆
You ain't kidding!
Wait, you have leftover Dungeness crab to take home ? You display a level of restraint I am unfamiliar with.
Facts
AND he threw away shrimp heads.
The footage of this show is just unparalleled
Best hunting show ever plus best bonus cooking show also I love it dont eat seafood but it looks amazingly good
I've been hunting twice in my life. Once for upland birds with no luck, and once for deer bagging a spike buck. Even still I can't get enough of Steve! Such a unique blend of rugged outdoorsman and poet.
I can't respect this man enough. He fed his family while also listening to his heart in saving a bear he had his scope on. He is a true man of balance
Man this just makes me want to sell everything and buy a shack like that.
Live your dreams! Just be safe and plan accordingly and the world is yours! Don’t let the modern worlds bullshit hold you back ❤️
I'm gonna go ahead and advise against that. Lol make enough money to just go buy a shack
instablaster...
@@beauneil878 what?
Dooooooo iiiiiiiit
A layer of sacrificial citrus slices on the grill prevents sticking and adds aromatic flavor.
Wow I've never heard that, I'll be sure to try that this summer
I can't even say "sacrificial citrus slices" in my head. Not even gonna try saying it out loud.
Nice tip.
Ooohh Miranda is kinda cute
I do that often with salmon
When the bubbling drops off dramatically is the same way that I know when my deep fried fish are done too.
this is so much more then a hunting show it’s truly a show about life
Your Alaskan episodes are seriously the BEST out of all your videos. Especially the seafood ones. PLEASE keep them coming. Cheers
I agree! I’ve watched the Alaskan seafood episodes SO many times over!!
It’s awesome to see someone “famous” in Alaska hunting and fishing. I’ve lived here 36 years and haven’t had quite a meal that looked like that you kill it steve
Damn these guys know exactly what we want.
You can say that again!
I would love if every episode was a catch clean cook episode! Steve's unrivaled attention to detail in every step is something i can only dream to one day achieve.
I've never been interested in hunting but Rinella just has a way of presenting information that makes hunting so cool

The work. The food. The professionalism. The smooth conveyance. God bless. Great episode.
The way you eat you should be big as a barn. Looks good. Don't forget the beer.
@@JC-uq5gi not if you cook the meat properly
my fav parts are always when he cooks the meat
Love the cooking episodes, but I enjoy seeing the care and skill you put into preparing the meals shared with friends and family at the end of the episode. I'm proudest as a sportsman and a cook when I get to see others enjoying what I have made.
I'm over a thousand miles from the coast and I really need fresh seafood now
Fantastic video! I especially liked the last statement; ",...When you share the meat, you get extra blessings". I share a lot of the venison I bring home each year. I feel extra blessed as I can still hunt at the young age of 74!
Toilet brush on a power drill. Run it reverse to the scales n they clean right off in 2 sec. I use it on black sea bass all summer long.
The way of life you portray in the MeatEater series is, in my humble opinion, the true American dream.
Being originally from Ketchikan Alaska, This bring back so many warm memories. Miss that place.

Now I want to live in Alaska
I really appreciate Steve noting the frequency of tilted stoves

Aside from ruining the frittata with those tomatoes, this all looks amazing. 😉
Agree- and the crabmeat should be on top Not in it
I dont think I've ever wanted fresh seafood for dinner,more,than I do right now! Lol. Looks amazing Steve!
I love this show I just wish the episodes were longer!!

Thanks for the enjoyable videos. Hunting season upon us. Thank you young man for great food ideas for the deer hunting season.
I love how you always keep the food uncomplicated and cook it as natural as possible. Looks amazing and bet it tastes incredible 👍
oh man, happy I can get dungies, and rockfish in cali. Got me something new to chase now.

Pacific NW seafood really might be the best.
I’m a western Washington native, these things are some of my favorite things. Razor clams need a place on that table.
I would love to just spend a month or so with Steven just to learn some valuable skills I’ve never had the chance to learn
You seriously made me hungry. I'm going to the airport now. See you in 24

Makes my dream of going to alaska for a year even stronger
Yep. Me too
Wow, you have some of the best, fresh seafood techniques I've ever seen. I really respect how you leave the bones in as well. The bones (although slightly inconvenient) add flavor and also help cook the fish evenly as they conduct heat. Cheers and keep up the awesome work.
Man. I'd love to have an Alaskan shack to getaway to.
I mean this entirely as a joke and a friendly poke, but Steve would make an amazing wife.
17:55 "paaaaaaaaprika" lol little "paaaaaaaaprica" here
My son and I are heading to AK in late July! Can’t wait! 1st Timers!
Jealous !
Man what a meal.
Somebody send this guy a low country boil recipe. Right up his alley..
He and Ted Nugent have the best hunting shows in my opinion. Ted for his spunk and Steve for his craft and overall lifestyle.
Usually when you'd say 'I got a rock fish' it means you've got snagged on the bottom. Killer seeing these guys you caught. Awesome episode, brother. Never short of inspiring and wonderful. 🎣❤
Thank you, absolutely loved this video. It will definitely help me on my next cook out.

that's in Them ! It's an easy way to clean ! ( when your not shelling them / >
> { It's been 40 Yrs} ) .
I started watching this guy when I saw him and Joe Rogan together. Steven had made me want to go on a few hunts myself. I hope I get to
The thing about hunting is that it’s easier to go then you think. You just have to do it.
2 years later, you get to go? Get you a pawn shop bow or a Walmart hunting rifle. Deer don’t know if the shot came from a $200 gun or a $2000 gun.
Nice and on a Weber kettle! Listen to your grill grate people it will tell you when it’s ready to flip.
I’m addicted to watching Steve and all the meat eater series 🤳
Man this guy is living the life .. long live the meat eater
Dude... You kick Ass! No B.S

The herb BBQ brush is brilliant.
You would have a field day in South Louisiana, redfish, bass, crappie, bream , speckled trout, shrimp, blue crabs, crawfish, oysters and COLD BEER.....Come on down MeatEater ...Love your show man
I wish this guy was out teaching kids how to hunt and cook while being respectful to the animals .
Doesnt get any realer than this man. A real G Stevie boy.....💪💯🐸
Man I’d honestly love to go hunting and fishing with Steve. Just for the adventure of new places and wealth of knowledge he has to offer
As a life long Alaskan i envy you. I am not afforded most of.the amazing opertunities that you show us.
It would he so cool to see Edward Garcia get down with Steve with the Alaskan seafood.
I can't agree more with your opinion on fresh over frozen. I personally go to the coast 3 times a months to restock on my seafood #fueledbynature
Always cook crab in sea water if possible with an extra cup of rock salt. Spot prawns should be done rare, they are even good raw. Don't let fresh water touch your seafood. Still a great video as always.
Should have never started watching this hungry.
I don’t generally consider myself a big seafood guy, but damnit if I don’t want to suddenly go crabbing when I see Steve cooking.
Love this stuff. Everytime I eat by myself, I would turn an episode on and watch while I eat.
Great times!
Awesome! Thank you for posting this.
Just got to say wow! I made the crab frittata, and it was awesome. My wife is not one for egg dishes and she said she loved it. Steven you have some awesome dishes keep up the great channel cant wait to try some of the other dishes you make....
Steve, thanks. Your knowledge of Fish and Game is outstanding. Your recipes are well planned and superbly executed. Thanks again.
Thank you brother for sharing your thoughts and adventures and cooking

Digging clams on the way to hunt black bear.. That's the dream. I'm about to everything I don't need and move.
That is a SEAFOOD PLATTER!!
Well done..Well done!
Nothing beats Alaskan spot prawns.
Hell yeah , it is an award winning seafood plate 👍👍👍👍👍
Steve!!!!!!!
LOL I think it's funny when people grill outside during the winter.
More episodes like this please!!!!!
Steve you the man. I love what you do, film, and show to us all.
If your stove is unlevel there are 4 feet on the bottom of the oven which will adjust your level if you turn the feet left or right bud
This is the way hunting and fishing shows should be done
The 2 skewers for the shrimp is genius, ima cook and I’ve always had problems with seafood skewers running only 1.
Try gnocchi with a basil or pistachio pesto add any grilled white meat and frying pan toasted panko bread crumbs and crushed pistachios as a topping. You’re welcome in advance;). I think the spotted prawns would be great like that.
This would be a great Valentine's day gift..
God man if I'd died in the morning this was one hell of a send off meal . Steve is Next level genius with food
