  • Lots of people have been asking Nate to make a video showing him spearfishing and one of his favorite ways to do this is on a drift dive (where he just lets the currents carry him along from one beach to another, from Fatumafuti to Faga'alu in this case).
    Nate had a fun time and he was able to catch a parrotfish, which is my FAVORITE fish that you can find in these Samoan waters!
    So, once Nate's adventure was over, I took the fish home and cooked it up for lunch. While I don't do the usual Samoan way of cooking fish, I cooked it the way I always have- in the oven. Watch as I make up a simple, yet delicious lunch from local fish and fresh, local salad from Tutuila Green. I wish I could have shared it with you... except that it was so yummy, I was happy to eat it all.

    • @AmSamFam
      @AmSamFam  Před 2 lety

      I’m guessing it’s because this is a very popular area for swimming, but yes, it does seem pretty bare. That’s why Nate always tries to be very sustainable and conscious of this when he heads out.
