Just the other day I watched a video my best friend sent me a video of his little girl fishing off the dock at a campsite we (group of best friends) have been going to for 20 years. She was so excited to be fishing with her dad and it was so neat because when his wife was pregnant the way they told everyone they were going to have a girl was they had me take a picture of my buddy and his wife holding a sign saying "it's a girl!" at the same dock. It was really wonderful to see things full circle. I'm not sure why I shared this with you but the vibe I got from this video made me think of it. Anyway Cheers to you and yours!
I recently learned that all inclusive resorts are all inclusive in the first place because the areas they are in aren’t safe for people to leave. Kind of ruins the vibe.
No matter where Taku goes, no matter what he forages/catches and cooks for us, the best part of every one of his videos is his infectious joy for what he is doing. You can really tell he loves and appreciates his life and it’s what separates him from many other content creators!
The production on this video is top notch. PB in all categories on the video. Taku’s passion for food and the relationship between Jocelyn and Taku shows in a surprisingly refreshing yet subtle way in terms of lifestyle channels here on CZcams. I hope you don’t change this format.
I don't think I've ever seen Taku look so giddy and happy as when he was trying to sneak that prawn. Also this is possibly the best episode I've seen, what a beautiful place to visit!
My god, Kate is shooting on without an ND filter in the wilderness.... The mad lass Also, seeing Taku eat that shrimp raw, and holding back his smile... That was a magical moment.
I spent a summer living in Soldotna, Alaska. I had an endless supply of fresh seafood. All the roommates were harvesting max catch of halibut, salmon, razor clams and mussels.
Watching Taku always puts a smile on my face. No other channel has been able to make me smile genuinely. If I have to guess it'll probably be the honesty and quality passion you have for sharing these videos. I aspire to be someone like you Taku!
Octopus. They do have a beak that will bite you and you don’t feel it. Caught one diving and put him over my hand. Pulled him off and was bleeding 🩸. Then the mild pain started for a few days and left a little scar that has been there for thirty years as a reminder.
I think when a lot folks have a shellfish allergy it’s often from the crustaceans. Shrimp, crab, lobster, crawfish etc. I’m mortally allergic to those types but I can eat the mollusks variety of squid, octopus, oysters and mussels. But better to be safe especially when you’re on a boat and far from help.
Damnit! Every time I watch his videos, I get an uncontrollable URGE to eat sushi.....spend 1/2 my paycheck, because he keeps making it look so amazing!
You can hear Taku's heart pounding when he set the hook on the first Salmon! haha Nice job! The crew must be soo lucky to have you cook for them! I am so jealous!
Dan I'm trying to get my hubby to move there from Australia. The only reason he won't go is because of the extreme cold which is the reason I want to go and of course the beauty of the state and the seafood of course. Michelle
@@danf8047 I've been trying to get him to visit for many years and now unfortunately he will be 70 this year and I will be 65. So our time to move country has to now be wishful thinking on my part. All I can do is watch videos like Simple Living Alaska which is my favourite channel to watch and there are some others too. I love Taku's channel too so I am glad he got to go to Alaska as well. Thankyou for the suggestion though I appreciate it Dan. Michelle
I'm really jealous on this one, what a privilege to eat fresh prawn like that. Personally I would have let go of the Giant Pacific (just out of love for the animal), but I can't blame you for wanting it. Hope you guys keeping have crazy wonderful adventures like this one 💗 Sincerely, some Sushi cook in Canada
"First Alaskan salmon, lets eat the beating heart!" hahah man you're a beast. i love it! Looks like a great time with great people. Alaska is so beautiful! Thanks for this one, I really enjoyed it
This might be my all time favorite episode. What a cool crew - I'd love to hang out with all of them! So happy to see you all having fun in such a wonderful place :-)
Oh man The owners of the boat are living in paradise so great they let you film a cook up People all over the world will come to have a magnificent experience like this Top job 😊
@@scylla8247 I find it odd that while people don't get illnesses like chicken pox anymore, yet so many people are riddled with a plethora of lifelong, and even life-threatening, food allergies.
I have Been watching your channel grow. You are one of my all time favorites. Just wanted to say I am vicariously on vacation with you in Alaska and happy for you both. Peace and love.
There's just something so exhilarating about seeing fish jumping and sight casting for them. The hookup is unreal! Loved this so much. Btw, what rod were you using for casting your mepps spinner?
Looks amazing! You deserve everything good that is happening to you! The moment you thought you casted too far was actually perfect lol Also what is a good tasting IPA beer that you would recommend for a newbie?
@@TraciCuber probably but according to what we see in the vid it was the girls who made the springrolls and not taku but i hope what you assume is correct.
I am addicted to these videos!!! I've learned that even if you've never tasted a specific seafood that Taku prepares you WILL crave it after and have to try it! I've been trying a lot of this stuff at my local sushi restaurant and it's all delicious. I wish that the octopus was less chewy cause the flavor is out of this world, imho. Thank you Taku and Jocelyn for your hard work and sharing your passion with the rest of us.
I’ve seen it but I still eat octopus. No doubt on their intelligence but they have short life spans which make them a sustainable food source and not to mention they taste amazing. Also if you’re reasoning for not eating them is their intelligence, hope you’re staying away from beef as well.
You used the right noodles! I'm sending this to my gf. Seafood is something we all love in many ways. She taught me there is only one type of noodles for pansit, lumpia and everything else. Wish I could find it where I live now. You proved yourself and are now 1 of my favs!
I watched almost every taku videos since 2019, and this give me the most excitement. Hopefully i can join myself on these adventures stuff one day and hope everyday too, really2 love it.
Just came back from Alaska myself. We also harvested plenty of spot prawn and dungeness crabs. Ate them while fishing for halibut. Life was good for a couple of weeks.
And this is why I am subscribed to this channel and never miss a posting! You two are an amazing couple. Your videos are absolutely top notch; no hype or fake enthusiasm - just real people enjoying real life. I commend you for supporting Spruce Root and their support of you. An outstanding and noble organization to be sure. May blessings continue to fall on you like the rain!

AGREED!!!!
You said it best. I prefer stuff like this as opposed to super edited shows.
Refreshing to listen to him and not yelling like the other youtubers. It’s natural and honest.
That's what I always think about fisherman's life and all his buddies everyone of them seem so genuine
@@st-gb9lx yeah they're good group
pretty childish throwing shots at catch em all fishing tho.
Giving her the rod to catch their first Alaskan river salmon. NOW THAT's LOVE

dude you are surrounded by some genuinely wholesome people
I’d rather have a vacation like this than go to some all inclusive resort. Excellent 👍👍
I recently learned that all inclusive resorts are all inclusive in the first place because the areas they are in aren’t safe for people to leave. Kind of ruins the vibe.
or expensive overrated theme parks
Can confirm
Never really thought about Alaska as being on my bucket list. This has definitely brought it closer.
@@Fuhrious Oh, wow. That's pretty creepy, actually.

I can feel the excitement and good vibes through my damn screen. Thank you Chef for letting us live through you.
Almost 40 minutes of content and it somehow still felt too short. That's how you know you guys are great! I could watch you for hours!
As soon as I saw spot prawn I clicked so fast!! 🤤🤤
The best!!
Taku you’re amazing man
U both rock love you guys channel.
Yay Addicted too.
Your not the only one.lol
The production on this video is top notch. PB in all categories on the video.

Taku out here gaining the strength of an Alaskan salmon by eatin it's raw heart.
He has now gained the power to paddle upstream.
😅😅
More like he could have gained a parasitic seal worm infection, but ok….
@@benf8706 No one likes this guy Ben. Dont be this guy. Learn to read a joke..

Also, seeing Taku eat that shrimp raw, and holding back his smile... That was a magical moment.
twice!
Yum!!! Raw shrimp right from the Ocean, so yummy!!!🌹❤!!!
Lol Taku, when everyone’s working, sneak another prawn quick!!!! So amazing watching your journey. And again with the epic cook!
One of the most epic feasts to date!!!
I love how this dude is so happy and doing what he’s passionate about for a living. Keep having fun brother.
Ohhh yesss, a nice long episode.
Beautiful scenery, wonderful people, delicious food, what more could you ask for in life, right?
Taku with the Indigenous land acknowledgement! This channel is hands down my favorite on CZcams
Lmfao I lived in southeast my whole life and never heard of these people helping any of us. They just want attention
@@ItzzTesta you need to get out more. I've lived in the PNW for most of my life and have always traded with first nation's for fresh seafood.
So beautiful landscapes and great quality of life in wilderness
Soooo jealous man...you and Joslyn are so lucky. Life is short, enjoy, glad you are enjoying....
Wow…what a way to start off your Alaskan trip!!!
Rv life,fishing, good food…with your girl
Can’t get much better….’’salud’’ 🍻
I’m a simple man. I see outdoor chef life, I watch
My kids of 4 and 5 love watching your videos
I spent a summer living in Soldotna, Alaska. I had an endless supply of fresh seafood. All the roommates were harvesting max catch of halibut, salmon, razor clams and mussels.
Heck yeah
That sounds like heaven!

Apparently all octopuses (as well as cuttlefish and some squid) are venomous 🐙
@@KN-xl6lw Whoa i didn't know that octopus is venomous..
Okay, I should stick to plant based diet
The happiest Taku has ever been.

The Ladies "What happened to all the prawns??"
Taku "THe octopus must of ate them"
Watching from Cambodia! Love watching your videos
this video made me feel so warm inside.
Damnit!
Every time I watch his videos, I get an uncontrollable URGE to eat sushi.....spend 1/2 my paycheck, because he keeps making it look so amazing!
So great to see you and everyone happy keep that way
Had a smile on my face through the whole vid! Makes me want to go live in Alaska. Thanks Taku!
I would give anything to be able to move up there. Alaska is the best place on earth.
“Taku Tuesday” featuring Taku holding a live tako
And then make takoyaki?
I ♥ how when he switched to the chest cam, you can hear his heart thumping! After 28:00
You can hear Taku's heart pounding when he set the hook on the first Salmon! haha Nice job!
The crew must be soo lucky to have you cook for them! I am so jealous!
@22:22 My mouth was watering. Excellent. Best
My mouth is watering. I love deep sea prawns. So sweet.
Oh my what a spectacular scenery of that river. Just beautiful and so breath taking. Let’s not forget the dishes wow 🤤

That spread looked SO good. One of the best videos you've made so far. Ahh alaska looks so peaceful and relaxing.
Beautiful place, good food, good Taku, good companions 🎉
"First Alaskan salmon, lets eat the beating heart!"
hahah man you're a beast. i love it! Looks like a great time with great people. Alaska is so beautiful! Thanks for this one, I really enjoyed it
Taku’s gettin’ back to the land!
One of my favorite place on Earth! Great vid guys! Enjoy every minute of your trip up there!
This might be my all time favorite episode. What a cool crew - I'd love to hang out with all of them! So happy to see you all having fun in such a wonderful place :-)
Went to Sitka via cruise ship but this experience was a thousand times better. Awesome video. Will be going back in May 2022.
*Eats beating heart* "We're just having kind of uhh a relaxing morning"
Spot prawn, octopus, and salmon in one video? Truly one of the great episodes of OCL
You can hear how hard Taku's heart was pounding fighting the salmon. 👀
About as hard as the salmon's heart
Makes me happy when he cooks for other people. Food brings people together
Need to come up into the arctic would love to fish and cook with you here in my village. Shishmaref alaska is also where it’s at.
Can I come too?
Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, delicious food, & awesome video!
"...I took a step back and then I tripped on a rock ...I fell on my.... ass"
*Insert sponsor*
I spit my water LMAO. Keep up the good content!
I love how excited you are in your videos. Gets me pumped to go out myself. Thanks for sharing. Have fun up there.
When taku secretly ate that shrimp 😂😂😂
Oh man
The owners of the boat are living in paradise so great they let you film a cook up
People all over the world will come to have a magnificent experience like this
Top job 😊
I feel bad for Kate since she can't really eat everything Taku made...
Hopefully one day allergies can be ridded of. People miss out so much on amazing food.
Didn’t the spring rolls have spot prawns in it? Kate ate one. I’m so confused
@@booutdoors2349 i saw that to. I was concerned but most likely there was no prawns in it since if there was everyone there would've said something.

damn antivaxxers can pop out of no where just to start saying baseless claims
I LOOOOOOOVE SPOT PRAWNS! Drooling over the video!!!
“What was it like drinking with Taku?” “He bonked me on the head with a 🍾 and ate my still beating heart. 10/10 would go again.”
I have Been watching your channel grow. You are one of my all time favorites. Just wanted to say I am vicariously on vacation with you in Alaska and happy for you both. Peace and love.
The look of euphoria when eating those fresh shrimp. I need to experience that eu-food-ria
This place is so heavenly... WoW...
There's just something so exhilarating about seeing fish jumping and sight casting for them. The hookup is unreal! Loved this so much. Btw, what rod were you using for casting your mepps spinner?
Looked like an Ugly Stik
Yeah, when he caught that second fish I saw Ugly Stick on the rod.
Trip in the life time. My mouth was watering while watching you eating the spot prawns.
Hey taku, are you guys coming near anchorage at all? If so I’d like to meet you guys and show you some local fishing spot
As soon as I seen Kate I instantly gave her my heart through the screen 😂
Looks amazing! You deserve everything good that is happening to you!
The moment you thought you casted too far was actually perfect lol
Also what is a good tasting IPA beer that you would recommend for a newbie?
I really enjoy hayburners but it’s a local beer here from buffalo. So who knows if you can get it
This is the best catch and cook episode I've ever watched just stumbled upon this video. Amazing wholesome content wow
Feel so sorry for Cate. Everything looks so good and she can't try it.
She ate the spring rolls which has prawn in it.
@@jajajajalaclaclac373 i noticed that too lolll
@@gbaby3281 shellfish allergic reactions isnt as bad as peanut tho so i guess shell be okay just not a good time tho.
@@jajajajalaclaclac373 He probably made some special for her that she could eat
@@TraciCuber probably but according to what we see in the vid it was the girls who made the springrolls and not taku but i hope what you assume is correct.

Seven poor, jealous souls had no recourse but to hit the “unlike button.” Let’s all pray for them…
20
Might be due to 🐙
Vegans maybe
The crazy ones that is
Probably PETA
Those spring rolls would be bomb with peanut sauce. What a perfect spread in such breathtaking location.
It breaks my heart to see she can't eat no shell fish. 😥
Once again, you got my mouth watering chef Taku. Another great video you two!
I hate seeing octopus die after seeing the “My Octopus Teacher” documentary 😭😭😭

I'll never eat octopus again after watching "My Octopus Teacher" on Netflix.
Good documentary!
I’ve seen it but I still eat octopus. No doubt on their intelligence but they have short life spans which make them a sustainable food source and not to mention they taste amazing. Also if you’re reasoning for not eating them is their intelligence, hope you’re staying away from beef as well.
Alaska has the friendliest people
A bunch of cool peeps hanging out having fun, eating great food fresh out the water.
Such a cool channel, been watching for a year ,stay pure, natural, enjoy what you and Jocelyn are thanks just a rummy that likes your content
Thanks for shouting out the native peoples
Probably the coolest, nicest people on CZcams
