  • My cousin teaches me how to catch prawns in the streams of Big Island.
    We use 3 prongs and go for a dive in the Hilo rain forest.
    Then I cook up my take on one of my favorite ways to have shrimp, mock Boiling Crab style. The whole she-bang.
    Come join in as we catch and cook up the best prawns Ive ever had in my life 😋
    As always thanks for tuning in and watching! Mahalo for all your support.
    Aloha,
    Lei

      I love it! I would love to hear what mushrooms you find in Hawaii! I’ve heard the big island has a decent variety out of the islands. And thank you for the lovely comment!

      Yes I hope to make it there and begain that adventure ~ when I find mushrooms that are good cooking Im so greatful to get to induldg ! And the more you find the more you find and learn ~ Morels are magic to find and Lions Main is, Im just now learning through experance from the 30 pounds I was fortunat to get this year and have been eating small amounts every day and can feel the healing and cognigtive feeling for a good while ~ like with my coffee and toast and some yougart on a chocklate rice cake
      then a 3rd of a tspoon dehydreated lions main and it makes you, well feel some how feel enriched ~~
      The Big island is calling me for sure and so to return with cooking ideas and fishing and hunting + the mushrooms !

  • @3000gtwelder
    @3000gtwelder Před 2 lety

    I don't know about prawns, but I take Crawdads, and stick them in a bucket of salt water, and it makes them purge there digestive tracks before I cook them. I see you sucking out the head juice so you probably don't really care 🤣

    • @BackcountryWahine
      @BackcountryWahine  Před 2 lety +1

      Thats a cool tip! Did not know this! and yeah if its a deep fried shrimp I just eat the whoooole thing, head tail and all!😆 But I guess you can eat anything if you deep fry it...🤣

    How do the prawns get that far up the stream past the water falls? I thought they came from the ocean?

    • @BackcountryWahine
      @BackcountryWahine  Před 2 lety +2

      So if you follow this stream all the way down it connects to the ocean.
      The prawn larvae drifts out to the ocean, and then they make their way back up the streams through adulthood. Theres even a hawaiian fish that can climb waterfalls! Its pretty amazing 😍

      Sorry :/ its my fams secret spot..but Im sure if you do some exploring you can find something! Or maybe try asking the guys at Tokunagas for some tips. I know they sell the prawn three prongs in there too so they probably have some info to share. Good luck!
