I originally started watching your channel because of your coastal foraging! It’s great to see this video, kind of like a throwback to your OG days. Those mussels looked so vibrant and delicious!! You’re definitely living the life, Taku.

Same here started watching Taku’s channel then when he collaborated with FishermansLife started watching that channel as well. Both channels have very good information!

The little thing in the cage is a hobo logger used in science to record temperatures! I’m going to ask my colleagues on Instagram to see if they know who it belongs to!

Unless that was Thelma & Louis. I think he was alright. I am he just poked his head out and asked what was wrong. This video is more about foraging on our beautiful coast

Limu is the Hawaiian generic name for all seaweed. Ogo is the Japanese word for the species Gracilaria Coronopifolia, which is commonly used for poke among other species. The Hawaiian name for Ogo is Manauea. From "Limu, An Ethnobotanical Study of Some Edible Hawaiian Seaweeds" by Isabella Kauakea Yau Yung Aiona Abbott & Eleanor Horswill Williamson, 1974.

Bro sited his sources. Thank you!

I really enjoy wholesome stories like this. Love the content, keep being awesome, man.

My wife and i absolutely love watching your videos. Please do not ever stop making them got one quick question for you. Have you ever tried eating sea anemone when I was a young fella living in New Zealand, we used to eat them all the time it’s better than abalone

I’ve been following you for a few years now and loving the content as always. Keep up the genuineness of your production and who you are Taku!

The content you create is so inspirational. I'm inspired to forage what I can in Minnesota sustainably and feed my family.

Love this Taku! this kind of video is what got me excited about your channel

It was very nice of you to help the stranded people who had vehicle problems. Home is where your heart is. Once again, you made some great food with what you were able to forage and harvest. That's a very tasty and healthy soup with the mussels. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn. 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

This kind of content is the reason I started watching and sub'd. Get that cookbook done! I'll 100% buy a copy.

Suck here in Michigan that we can’t harvest mussels but animals can but l do have a clam that is wide open and it’s about 7 inches long. 50 plus years old and I found it on the bank in a little creek by my house so I have it on display 🤣

I totally understand the moving around thing. I became a truck driver because i couldnt handle the mundane everyday life. Im in a different state every day and travel the world on vacation days. My home time only last 3 days max because i get bored and restless.

Great ep mate. Your close pretty much summarised my thoughts as I watched. An inspirational lifestyle. Cheers.

Used to be a family outing on Sun. when we lived in Berkeley. my mouth is watering.

Your passion for what you do is inspiring. Keep going. Be safe and stay healthy.

Another amazing episode!! Be safe and stay blessed brother!

So happy you kept working hard on this channel. Congrats on your job you sure are good at it. And the recipes look incredible.

Keep doing what your doing and we'll be here to support you!

First time watching the channel since around the time your Alaska summer ended. Now this is the type of adventures that got me hooked. Glad to see you're doing well

Been watching you since the beginning - so happy to see a foraging video again!

I love the simple OG throwback! It's too bad there's a quarantine for the summer though. Seems like a fun day on the coast just sittin' back eating muscles on the beach. Looking fwd to my next trip to the coast to visit family and possibly a day out to do something like this. Watching this gives me a better idea of what I can / cannot eat. Simple How To's... love it and thank you for continuing to make vids.

TAKO....THAT SOUPS NAME IS NOW....OCEAN SOUP! PUT IT IN THE COOKBOOK!

Thankyou Chef .

I am SO stoked for the cookbook!!

I'm really glad you've enjoyed this lifestyle and let us follow you during it. Seems amazing, and a lot of work. Much love.

Big fan here, I love all your videos yo. I've been following you for a minute. I never get tired of watching your videos. You inspire me to get out more and love nature. Stay blessed and be safe with your adventures.

you and joselline are the best, we love yall, please never change

Well said Taku, I like what u said and answered on the question from the comment. Can't wait to see the cookbook and more great content

Found your channel with your mushroom foraging and have been hooked since. This is a nice throwback to ur original vids =)

You can never get tired of doing what you love keep doing you love your videos PS get that cookbook done brother 👌

Great video Taku! Thanks for sharing!!!

Purple uni, monkeyface prickleback, limpets, mussels, octopus, lobsters, coral fish, blue meat lingcod, stranded bullwhip kelp (pickled in a jar now! :( not available in Asia yet though) etc. are some of the things Taku got from beautiful tidepools and incorporated very nicely in his dishes (started 5 years ago and still going). Found Taku's yt channel when fighting autoimmune and dealing with excruciating pain 5 years ago (I'm on remission now). Taku's contents (Taklyn the World's content also) are such godsent painkillers. Thank you, Taku and Jocelyn. Now, you are writing a cookbook! So proud of you and Jocelyn! Way to go! (1st time leaving a comment cause I'm waiting for the 1 hour movie again from you!)

Taku, you did a very good thing for a stranger, and your reward was finding an excellent spot to fish! You might try crushing up a few mussels to leave a scent trail in the water or marinating your soft plastics with them. They are also good bait, but use a small treble hook.

Can't wait for the cookbook!

I love watching your videos...keep doing what you love best... that's bring Happiness, Love and Fullfillment in Life... ❤❤❤

I really enjoy costal forging..I hope you do more costal forging..part of it is the exploration excitement we get watching ..more costal forging videos please 🙏

You're the best dude! Thanks for the video!

Wow! Excellent! Never have seen mussels that orange in Oregon! Looked so yummy!great job!

Can't watch any of your episodes without eating 😂...love all you do Taku...a subscriber from Papua New Guinea

The seaweed in Poke is called Ogo.

The O face tells it all! LoL! Great video 😮

I enjoy all you do stay safe take care and blessings to you 💗

It’s so crazy that I just watched a video last nite of you getting mussels 5yrs ago wishing you would do another video, and wow dude you had this video waiting for me. Anyway, you two be safe and blessed out there bro.

Talk about OG vids. This gave me serious Chowder vibes from one of the very first videos I ever watched of OCL. "The ocean provides, man" IYKYK. I've watched that one probably 50 times. Makes my mouth water every single time. And now, so will this one!

Taku, I took your knife to Japan and did a catch and cook out there and shit was amazing. Thanks for teaching so much always. Would love to do something on Ocean beach or in pacifica sometime!

Love Muscles, and Love This Channel! Keep it up Taku!

Us, in the grind, will live vicariously through you.

Bro you introducing me to Athletic Brewing this year was amazing. And the limited time flavors are awesome. It really tastes like a craft brew. Definitely getting another batch of brews for the summer

Thanks for explaining the seaweed.

An indicator that it is limu manauea (the one used in Hawaiian poke) is if it turns from reddish/brown when raw to green when cooked. I believe that it did occur in your video when picked it was reddish, and green when you ate it from your spoon. Google the net for Ogo namasu recipes where you blanch this limu (10 seconds until it changes color) and pickle it (vinegar/sugar) with sweet maui onions. Many variations where you can add other ingredients soy sauce, dried shimp, top shell/abalone, Hawaiian chili peppers, green onions, sesame seeds/oil, etc. Crunchy good!!!

Congrats on your success. You came a long way.

I don't even eat seafood at all, but every time I watch these videos I want to try everything you make.

Great vid!! You mentioned the quarantine. I remember either Masaru or Kaneko (Kimagure Cook) mentioned that in Japan there are many species of seafood you don't eat in months that don't have an "r" in the name, like May, June, July and August, because of the Ciguatera toxin.

love your foraging videos coz it reminds me of your old videos :)

Athletic is my favorite NA!!!!! It's the ONLY beer I drink! I am really happy you are teaming up with them! Plus, I love the outdoors and I did not know until today that they gave back so much. Even more reason to drink their beer!

When I was a kid (8 years old) we used to spend summers at the beach on the Maine coast. Mussels covered the rocks. While I loved clams and oysters, i didn't realize that mussels were edible.. Once I tried them at a seafood restaurant, I fell in love with them. I think back to my summers in Maine and regret not grabbing them and eating them. ,

You took us back in time!! Loved this video. Maybe since you guys are back for a bit, can you do a overnight fresh water catch and cook, maybe some mushroom foraging. Thank you for a great video, again!

Those Kelp Chili Crisp shorts are legit FIREEEEEE

AWESOME VIDEO!! 🤙🏼💪

I love your videos, you living the life.

Should have brought a half package of tofu too. Great video. California coastline is so great

Mussels are one of my fav things to cook and eat. Great vid going to try grilling them now.

You turned me on to this! I gave up alcohol at the beginning of the year and absolutely love Athletic Brewing. I’ve been turning all my friends on to them.

Not usually a fan of mussels but man those Yakitori mussels look scrumptious.

I envy your proximity to fresh mussels. I would love to be able to forage like this.

This is like back to your roots, i like it.

Braaaaaahhh……my mouth was salivating when u was brushinf da sauce on dem muscles😋Aloha bradda 🏝️🌋🤙🏾

I respect this video so much brotha especially at the end, I’ve been in sales and my dreams is to own a business one day and have the freedom to live off catch and cook fishing and hunting. One day I hope to be like you brotha this inspires me more!

Awesome vid mate 👍

You’re videos are therapeutic

I've been loving athelete brewing. Only had the golden one so far but as someone that loves beer its nice to drink something without alcohol

Awesome video 👍👍

Blessings returned for Serving. This is the way!

I love the foraging videos! OG... 😅

It's 2 AM and I'm basically drooling looking at those mussels lol

The ones you put in poke. It’s called Ogo. Looked good!!

Brother you are the best! Keep it fresh nice and delicious man! Thanks for the info about the seaweed never dared to try the ones on my homebreak, will add it to my ceviches and pokes ❤

Dude..I've been binge watching since last 3 weekends..

That’s a new sound to my ears when u bite the first muscle 🤣

I went to Bodega and Jenner the other day. Beautiful. Was with my mother though so no hunting and foraging unfortunately.

Yeah Taku! That seaweed looks exactly like Limu in Hawaii.

I was on a layover last week in Anchorage and a store had the Kelp Chilli crisp. I HAD to try it. Glad I got it even though the Airport upcharges everything lol

That water is so blue. Love it

Salivating here Tako 🤤🤤!!!!!!!! 😂😂. 🌴🇲🇵🤘

I finally got your kelp chili crisp and it is so delicious!!

Poke seaweed is limu! Couldn’t tell from my cell phone video but I do know you can find it along our coast here in the Bay.

I love the Orange 1's best 😋🧡✨❄️

I’m going to harvest some clams here in Michigan this year 🤫I got a 2 -3 acre pond that is as a park , so public access but there are thousands of them, put your foot down anywhere and you will step on a 4-5” clam. Fishing isn’t very good yet but the clams are everywhere, rem🤫

Taku, sensei! You will survive! Crusoe, Gilligan, Hiroo Onada. None of them got chick on you, man. Good video seems like yesterday's foraging. 🗣️"Have Rod, Will Fish"🤙🏽Memphis, 10🇺🇸💯

Those grilled mussels and miso soup looks very delicious.

Yes back to the basics 😊

The kelp from Hawaii is called limu kohu and yeah I think that’s a similar version to the ones we have here on the island🤙🏽

I'd love to see a Pacific coast tour! Alaska to Mexico in the van would be really fun to see through you two. Extra points if you hit up Japan! hahaha I've also really missed the foraging, both intertidal and inland.

I would love to see some fishing videos in the area you're in. I've been visiting that area since I was a kid but don't know how to fish the coast there

Looks so delicious!!
