"You guys head suckin?" Is a wild sentence.😂

In a Chinese restaurant you'll see it called 'Salt pepper shrimp" they cook the shrimp so hot, the shell becomes like potato chips and you can eat the whole thing. Some places don't cook it quite hot enough so you have to be careful sometimes. A shrimp has two spines to be aware of: One in the center of the tail called the telson. And one that's between the eyes. When I eat salt pepper shrimp, I make sure to bite down on those two first and chew 'em up. It's very healthy!

I feel like a crawfish trap would be highly useful there. You need to go to Louisiana/Mississippi, you'd freak them out with how much you're able to eat and how much of the fish/crawfish/prawn you eat. They suck heads in the south, but they don't eat the shells.

In the mid 70’s I helped harvest prawns on Oahu. They were raised in long red dirt ponds & we’d wade in with a net stretched across & slowly walk to the other end. Then scoop the prawns 🦐 up & put them in live tanks & sell them to Mom & Pop markets in Chinatown. Great memories 😂. Thank you for sharing..

I love your enthusiasm brother! It definitely makes me want to see what delicious food made from invasive species you're gonna make next. I'm from Maine,so I really liked your shout out in the green crab flick.✌️

growing up in Hawaii I use to make prawn traps similar to the crawfish traps with funnel on both ends. I found that if you put a half a coconut shell with the hard meat in it that the prawns will eat all the meat from the shell. I would get like 15-20 a day and would always throw back the ones with eggs and only harvest what we would eat. Over the years the population of prawns decreased when there was a increase in people catching them and taking as much as they could harvest.

Been waiting for another episode in this series. Keep it up!

10-12 of those prawns 🦐, a big bowl of rice 🍚, 2 beers 🍺🍺, and I'm in heaven.

Yay! I’ve been waiting for another episode of this series. Thank you.

I love this video!❤❤ I moved from Hilo back to Maui and miss going to these places and gathering, surfing and enjoying how truly special these places are. Taku your a great humble chef, I appreciate your creative cooking style and enjoy your vibe. Subscribed!

Taku, you a true Asian eating that whole prawn. Love it bro. Always keeping it real

Crustaceans that you can eat shell and all are the best. Grey crangon shrimp from the North Sea, softshell crab, sushi prawn heads. yum

Glad to meet you in Kona, awesome episode! looking forward to seeing the next adventure!

When I was a little kid we used to fly to maui for the weekend and catch prawns. We didn’t 3 prong them like you did, because we found them in a wide shallow stream, we used sticks to scare them into our opae nets. The uncles held the nets while the kids scared the prawns lol

Keep this going!!! More catch and cook on invasive species

Just re-watching some old episodes. I loved this deliciously invasive episodes, would be happy for more 💜 from 🇦🇺

Love this video. In British columbia we take a egg whisk and cut off the round parts so many small points. We just use it with a hand spear like you no elastic. With the egg wisk you have about 20 tines so you can stab many spot prawns or tahitians and tunes are so small diameter no damage. Thanks for great content

Um. I think Ryan wasn't fully educated on how we hunt for the prawns round here. The way the we like to do it on the Island I'm from is not to spear them but catch them in baited traps, we then put them still alive in buckets of clean water and let them filter out the mud inside them before cooking. When you see the color of the water after you'll see why, when you taste the difference of the food you'll know why.

Great video as usual. Thought you might want to see an article from a Hawai'i island magazine on the topic of the Tahitian prawns (macrobrachium lar.) It was published by Ke Ola magazine in 2021 and titled Mālama Mokupuni/Caring for Our Island Environment: Life and Death in the Stream-‘O‘opu, ‘Opae, and Tahitian Prawns. It talks about how people are using pesticides in the rivers to catch the prawns, killing native species simultaneously, like the ones you ate. Your video on Justin and his ohana's sandalwood farm showed you, Ryan, and Jocelyn after filming this outing so I'm assuming you're all alright.

Love these trip videos. Would love to see one going more in depth in Canada. Especially in the East Coast

I love the beers after successful catches. Great show

My favorite series man!!

Great episode. Loved watching the catch and the cook both.

I remember with fondness, going out with my four siblings to hunt Cherax destructor, the Australian freshwater crayfish. We'd tie pieces of rotten meat to string and dangle it down yabby holes until one grabbed it. We'd go out most Saturdays and it was great fun. After letting the yabbies sit in water to filter out mud and whatnot, the critters would be cooked. We also enjoyed going to watering holes to do fishing most weekends.

That's so awesome you partnered with Ryan!

The collab I've been waiting for

I saw this video yesterday. I tried out the recipe this morning.....it was so ono (delicious). Gonna make this more often.

The shell is the best part of the prawn. Crunchy and delicious!

Shell on always! That's how I know a good restaurant. When they serve the fried heads >>

by far best catch and cook channel!
