what's better than having "that's not our dog" in each episode? "TWO not our dogs"

You had a great childhood!! Worth more than all the money in the world.

My daughter is writing a paper on unicorns of all sorts. I came across your video right before hand so we got some fun facts from you. 🥰🥰 thank you so much!! Lyrica say thank you for telling us about the unicorn fish.

I am so stoked to have found this channel ❤️🙏🏽

In chuuk we called it Buna

We grew up eating this. In Palauan we call it Chum (pronounced as "Oom") and this was the only fish we never cleaned. Thought it was interesting that the Tahitian name sounds similar to Palauan

It was very nice of you to have shared a precious slice of Hawaii. And it all in your backyard and in your🧜🏻‍♀️ ocean.

Love Kala, grew up eating it because it’s so kid friendly and lots of meat, the old school loves da shoyu Hawaiian chili pepper style. When I was fresh out of high school I moved to country and did a lot of board diving at surf spots, When I shot Kala’s some of my new friends would laugh at it and say “ das rubbish” I cooked it on da grill, put all da meat on a platter and covered it with garlic butter, told da boy’z it was lobster and they loved it, i let them know it was Kala and actually had to show them the Kala skeleton for proof😂 They all praised Kala from that night on.😍🍻

Yes! I love that you mention Palau in this vid! 🇵🇼

Hafa Adai from Guam! 🇬🇺 ‘Grew up with this fish as well. It’s called Tataga’ in the CHamoru Language and a favorite among locals. Thank You for the awesome videos. God Bless!

The puppies are following their nose to the best cooking smell in the neighborhood lol. So sweet you all are!!❤

I'm from Philippines and I always ask for this fish whenever I'm in the islands. It is delicious!!

Buddy is soooo cute! Esp when he’s eating the fish and wants more!

Now I need to go diving for a fresh kala. Absolutely Palau's favorite fish.

What a beautiful family! Thank you for the excellent video. Enjoyed this after a long day at work. New fan.

I love to watch the videos just to see her beautiful smile

I'm impressed how lovingly you share your bounty from the depths with your family unconditionally. Stay as you are. I really enjoy watching your "So Happy" Buddy. You are blessed. Truly, Kathy

I feel like my local friends betrayed me lol. They always told me this fish was Ulua when I lived there. Some of my fondest memories were fishing for these off of Mā‘ili Point. Can't think of a better thing I did during my 20's than hanging out with the many friends I made while stationed in the islands.

The horned kala is my dad's favorite fish. I'm blessed and lucky enough to have a girlfriend who spearfishes, and she provides for my family just like you do for yours. Love from Big I!!!!

“Diversity is the key to deliciousness” 👊love this. Great video thank you!

Love that you and your husband is so real with your son letting him truly experience life not bubble wrapped!

On Guam 🇬🇺 we call this Tataga. We eat it the same way, but we eat the stomach as well. Guts and all 👍🏻 this is my favorite!

Foreal bro. The guts is the best part

It was only this past March that my chef friend in an Idaho ski resort told me they served Kala sushi at his restaurant. As a regular scuba diver, I was quite surprised to hear this. As my relationship grows stronger to the ocean, this was an inspiring and educational video to watch.

This is the wholesome content I needed during these mentally challenging times. We absolutely love Buddy!

In the small atoll islands of Micronesia we used to wait for a school of Unicorn fish to appear on the flat of the reef then with the help of others we herd them like cattle into a large net. So “ono”. Thanks for the great video 🤙🏼

Hello from the Marshall islands. One of our favorite fish. Grilled and eaten with breadfruit. 🇲🇭

Japanese sauce: Butter, garlic and a dash of shoyu. Yum!

Mahalo for sharing your ocean wisdom, passion and more ono eats Kimi ❤️ I love your line "diversity is the key to deliciousness" - yes! 'Collard greens & Kala' Buddy is so cute!! 🌱 😊 🌱 🐟

Sure Love this video Kimi, as I do all of the ones you have posted. Brings back memories of small kid time wit Molokai Ohana. Camping, fishing and cooking........Living off of, and Loving da Aina back for providing!!!!! Aloha👍🏽🥃🐟🌴

In my province in Sorsogon...Philippines...we called that fish...SURAHAN...that's my favorite fish..😊

Pohnpeian called it pwulak and best time to fish for it is during March and April. That's when it's really oily. Our sauce is a mixture of soy sauce, calamanci juice olive oil , diced onions, Pohnpei black pepper and chili peppers.

Thank you for this video. It brings back lots of memories of my short stay in Hawaii. The people were so, so very nice.

Great stuff like always Kimi and the gang 🤙🏾 you’re definitely right with the way people treat that fish now days.

fantastic video, as always! buti have to admit, i was just waiting for the Buddy-bite-❤️ at the end! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

When I used to work in Waikiki I would spend my off time day camping at kapiolani park I spear one um and BBQ it hangout and miss home. Sometimes the tourists got curious sometimes they were rude. Sometimes a bunch of locals would just join me and I'd go get more fish for the fire and when I got back there would be beer and more food and a tent and I'm part of some family. Now I'm back home in Palau and I kinda miss hawaii

Delicious meal as always. Thanks for posting Kimi... geez I need to get back to Hawaii!

Seriously my mouth was watering when I seen you feed Justin. I miss being able to just jump in and catch dinner

Lovely family. Great food and love of nature. Always great vids.

Kimi, your format is so enjoyable and the content is exciting and real...great wholesome entertainment...love it...cheers!

Thank you for the beautiful video! It took me away for a few minutes! Yum!

Hafa adai,, love that fish. Very good eats. Popular fish to eat out here on Guam. I grew up eating them. My target species. Good with the coconut palm vineger. We call them “ TATAGA” in my language.. Chamorro favorite. No need to clean. Delicious

choice video team! love the snippet of spearfishing tactics from kimi, rate that!

I love this.....i always cook that fish over charcoals with eggplants and then debone the fish and eat with fresh coconut cream 😍😍😍😘😘🙌🙌🤲🤲👍👍👍

Every time I've ate Kala it's been on the beach on the grill guts in. Generally followed by some uhu stuffed with lup ching and veg covered in mayo. Sooo good.

thanks, beginning freediving/ spearfishing ( only pole spears here) in Okinawa and being unfamiliar with a good bit of the fish here your videos help a lot

Just did this with my kala, sooooo goooood! I added capers to the sauce. So simple and delicious. You’re the best ^_^!

Aloha kimi.ive been watching your videos for some time now and i just wanted to say youre such an awesome person.ive learned how to make some dishes that you showed on your videos especially lau lau.thank you for having cool videos .keep up the awesome work.looking forward to more videos.mahalo.

I love cooking fish I spear like that! I grill snapper whole and it comes out so juicy and amazing, the skin and scales peeled right off. Buddy is just too cute, he looks like a little doll!

Awesome vid. I’m from SE Asian 🇱🇦 and we eat a lot of our fish like that. Pls schoolers don’t even gut them and love the guts!!! OK now I want some fish 😋

Fish and fire have been the two ingredients in some of the best meals I've had ♡

Great vid! You do a series featuring one fish like how to hunt, clean, cook, local knowledge, etc.

My mouth is watering. Neva eat looooooong time. Alaea/hawaiian salt mix, garlic and squeeze some lemon/tangerine on top. Whew! Brokedamouth!

Yep here GUAM 🤟 BBQ on an open fire. We several ways in catching this fish one on a rod and reel and the other is diving this fish always travel in a school they love seaweed and when they eat alot of these seaweed they become really juicy. Will try your style of ingredients looks so delicious 👍 we call that fish tataga I guess most of us Islanders have the same traditional cooking this fish.

@@TheJerkmeoff Hi 😉 we fish this fish when the sea is rough we use wire leader because of it's teeth and they can cut mono easily best catch in shallow due to sharks or when they dive into corals. We call the seaweed (chiaguan) leafy with small like grapes. They are other spieces of fish that eat this seaweed. hangun ( orange tail unicorn fish) and guili don't know the English name for this fish.

Great video...love the underwater footage.

We actually eat the gutts too. It’s so yummy with soy sauce and lemon!!! 👍🏽

Love it. Buddy is so cute 😍

I only had Kala once but it was delicious and it did taste like lobster.Mahalo for sharing!

Hi Kim your an inspirational and the stories you share my dad loves this fish my dad folks ate the insides we’d catch and threw it on the fire 🔥 the best times growing up thank you Sis much love Aloha and respect to you Happy Holidays to you and ur Ohana

It’s the favorite fish for the Pacific Islands. 👌👌👌

Omg...One of My favorite fish growing up! Shoyo and Vinegar with red pepper 👍

"diversity is the key to deliciousness" *chefs kiss* - Kimi

First of all, your son is adorable! Second, Kala was always my favorite fish. I prefer grilling the kala, shredding it, then slicing up tomatoes and onions, sprinkle a little hawaiian salt, and "Whack Em" as my tutu used to say!!🤙

New subscriber and I really enjoy your video. I love the subtle camera work and overall editing as well as how you present it without a script! Last time I made a comment like this, it was on mark wien video when he had only 40k subs..

yehh Kala, the classic! love it guys

Looks so good! Hungry now...

Ialata is this fish in our language..Motu, Central Province, Papua New Guinea..and yes it is a very special fish. Thanks heaps for great content

Love this video!

It’s so smart cleaning your fish in the water

One of our favorite food fishes in Fiji too. Its called Ta . Boil and dip into fresh coconut milk with lemon and chillies ( Miti) and Dalo.

We love that fish that's our fav.fish here in Philippines,God bless you

Yummy Love Kala! with Hawaiian chili pepper and shoyu with lemon

My favorite fish to eat.....Unicorn fish or as we say it "poisson Corne" in Mauritius. goes well with fried chillies and beer.

When I first started diving I would be so stoked to land a Kala. Now that I got a taste of so called better fish like kumu and mu etc., I hate to say but I do snub Kala. I would see 10 lb ones swim in front of my face and not even want it. You made me realize that our roots is what make us. Thanks for opening my eyes. Next time Kala for dinner. Oh, and Buddy is so cute he already likes fish so you might no need dive when you get old, he got you covered on the fish.

Nice. I love kala with butter garlic. We grew up eating it with shoyu chili pepper water. I like both. But raw it’s a mean one. Clean and tender bit crisp. Good video sista

I love kala..over the grill..super 👍 🤙

Great video. Thanks foe teaching me a little something new.

Yes, Pualu is nice rock island as you mentioned it. Love the clams there. While I love that fish also our local forvit also. Thank you sharing. Like your video. Thanks.
