Next time you go back to the oyster Islands. You can toss them into your kayak and shuck them while your sitting inside the kayak so you can work at your pace. Still be able to toss the shell back to the island as well

Pro tip! I realize you can't remove the shells from the oyster beds in Puget Sound. A faster method is to grab as many oysters as you are allowed by law and load them into the kayak AND THEN shuck them. Then you toss the shells back onto the oyster bed as the water rises. You abided by the rules and laws and retrieved more oysters. PLUS: you can eat more of them along the way! Bring your Sriracha/Lemon/cocktail sauce and enjoy an after of gluttony on the kayak! BOOM Baby!

You can only have 18 oysters a day. Everything you eat counts towards your limit.

Wow!! what an amazing video! Jocelyn is such a lucky lady. When I was growing up, my aunt and uncle owned some land on Lasqueti Island off of the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. That island (back in the 70's) was made of oysters! My cousins and I filled our buckets with fresh oysters and my uncle roasted them over the campfire and I learned how to do that! They were ready when they opened and started to shed water. I ate 20 oysters in one night at age 12 and I was in HEAVEN!

Good lord that's not frying . The man here fried the Oysters in what's called GREASE. Hopefully he has enough sense to flee the area . Especially after the ANTIFA guy harassed him about what he's doing there.

The shuck 'n take policy is really interesting. The satisfaction of squeezing lemon into the shell and slurping oyster is a small price to pay for such gorgeous meat.

I recalled watching a documentary for oyster farming and they used old shells to seed new ones. I think that's why the law requires you to shuck the shell.

@@RoseNZieg regardless it's still very silly. They aren't fixed objects once you put them back and aren't that valuable to the next generation of oysters. Would be much better to simply plant large stones, but that would be far too much money for the state to waste, when instead they could simply be pocketing those tax dollars for a new boat

its extra creamy because of the season (spawn season). When fall comes around the "post-nut" oysters should be great

I like to think the whole oyster island itself is a huge oyster, covered by its offsprings

Oyster islands...sounds amazing....kayak, bucket, knife shucker, and boots and gloves....gotta live the seafood!!! Nice job!!! Nothing like fresh oysters!!

I remember helping plant some new oyster reefs in the Chesapeake. It’s really cool to see some super healthy oyster reefs like this, they are essentially the cold water equivalent of coral reefs. Super diverse, thousands of different species can be found hiding between and chilling around oyster reefs.

An adventure and a great meal as a reward. What a sweet episode!! I think a lot of us want to live the Outdoor Chef Life after watching this : )

A little safety tip: incorporate a small hook anchor in your Kayak. Leaving your kayak to float on it's own, turn your back too long, and/or a gust of wrong wind blows it away, and you'll be swimming home.

You really are to the point and down to earth ! And no loud music either . Great job

Besides the awesome content, I really appreciate your different camera angles! Watching you cut that bull kelp and how you positioned your knuckle towards the knife.. for someone who loves food and is a very inexperienced “cook” it’s nice to watch and learn from your videos!

Taku, Jocelyn, that was a super cool show. I was thinking, man would I hate to run my boat through those oyster bed islands, that was awesome seeing that. That meal looked so amazing. We have been watching Mitsuki quite a bit too. What great content from you and her as well and Jocelyn also. When my wife and I are not fishing we enjoy watching much of the fishing content from Japan and I am going to check out Rosetta Stone and learn to speak and understand Japanese. Some of the translations are way off, so I gotta do it. Have a super trip. Thanks again for the great stuff you share. Danny and Kim, San Diego, CA

Majestic state. So many wonders. This video makes me miss home; harvesting oysters, sea urchins, geoducks, crabs, spotted shrimps..

i giggled at 24:56 at the same time lol washington is always happy to have you here, t and j. thanks for showing people how to appreciate the world one catch and cook at a time.

Yes finally another awesome vlog catching oyster! our fav youtuber. Thank you Taku @OutdoorChefLife

Darn those Po Boys looked good. I understand what Jocylin was saying about not liking cooked oysters made by others. I never liked fried oysters because they were too strong tasting and I thought it was because they were too big. I then had smaller oysters just thrown on the bbq and when they popped open they were ready, and delicious! I think the big ones might have been over cooked.

That's tasty looking as I'm a fan of oysters, and that's my kind of island! I'm thinking I need to make a trip up to Washington myself. Thank you, Taku for sharing this video.

Love that you’re in my neck of the woods getting it done ! One of my favorites KZreadrs

Argh!!! I’m so hungry now. Those oyster po’boys look so good. Thanks for your videos!

The adventure of getting everything needed was the best part! This was awesome!

Hey Taku, the next time you're in WA, you should do a catch and cook with Leif of NWFS, I think it would be super fun for both of you. Also, I used to work as an oyster shucker for a the biggest seafood company here in WA, so if you'd like to learn how to speed-shuck for times like this, I'd love to teach you(and I'm sure learn a lot from you along the way). Cheers, from South Puget Sound

Back in 2018 I bought my first brand new car (which was a 2018 Ford Fiesta SE) and I took it on a vacation to Washington and it was so nice out there I ended up getting a job in Sumas, Washington at a blueberry cooler and I lived out there for 4 months. I remember I used to go to Bellingham every single weekend. I would go to Locust beach and it was awesome. It became my favorite beach. That beach was always so calm and quiet. Very peaceful. I used to lay down in the water where I would enjoy a beer and a joint. One day I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna take my kids.

I always love a good Taku and Jocelyn episode, but I love them more when your on my doorstep. Thank you two for throwing some southern po boy spice In my life 🤓 Get ahold of me when you come back for more tips and places to see and visit. Much love from the Hurn family

Dude my mouth is literally watering. Great job!

wow! loved watching you harvest the oysters and kelp. then making them into what looked like a delicious po' boy! amazing. continued travel mercies and blessings. 🕊

Beautiful video. Great tip about how sharp the oysters are. I learned the hard way!

Great video Taku! Gotta say, when you first shucked the oyster and put it in your basket, I was ticked, as the liquor is what makes oysters so good. Then you told us about the required shucking. Lol. That ‘tartar’ sauce looked so good. Being from Nova Scotia, I guess I’ll have to go to the beach and get some kelp. Wicked sandwich. Thanks for sharing!!!

I would pay a good amount of money for those! They look absolutely delicious!

Another amazing video as always man 🤙🏻

Really love the sort of text style narrative editing this episode! Love the backstory of the kelp!

They look so good! My husband wouldn't go near them even with a 10 foot pole! New subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you so much for the past few videos I really appreciate them. To a fantastic couple 🎉 cheers 🍻

That kelp slicing was so satisfying to watch

They should build a motel near by with all this apro oyster around... 😁😁😁

I couldn’t stop giggling when the camera kept focusing on Jocelyn 😂😂 Also, I love her hair color! ❤

The po’boys look amazing!

🥶🥶🥶🥶 the crunch when you bit down on those po’ boys, so good!

Geez mate, knocked that one out of the park. Beautifully done. Safe travels.

As a child my dad and I would shuck them on the beach and do shooters with them followed by a beer. My job was helping to collect small ones and keep track of the Tabasco sauce. This was the 1970’s. I have great memories of doing that with dad!

These edits and dialogue are sick Taku and Jocelyn! Very storylike.

Goodness! I love Oysters. To have a whole island filled is the jackpot. I am lowkey watering from my screen!

Can’t wait for the cookbook!!

This is awesome stuff. Great sentiments, felt like i was right there chatting with you. Cool harvesting vid in a place I've wanted to travel to for so long. I subbed

Wow! I follow both you and Jordan!! What a cool collab video, Taku! You always make it look so easy. Great video as always! 😁😎

this is my first time coming across your channel and i'm already so inspired by your recipes! i'm subscribing!

Finally tried your kelp chili crisp. Wow, soooooo good!!

Honestly leaving a like for that tide coming in shot, I never knew it was this fast! Awesome content!

Panko is the best breading for oysters, both cooks quick and panko becomes so crunchy.

That food looked AWESOME Taku

Thank you for sharing that awesome video. That was a great experience. I am so hungry now.😢

omg wow. that's an earthly blessing my friend.

Oh my! Amazing island..wish every island is like that

Let’s get him there, a million subscribers is long overdue!

He or they need to get out of the area which includes the 3 Pacific states ASAP. the ANTIFA or PETA operative in the boat was extremely agitated by him fishing there . The fisherman greeted the individual in the boat and was basically horrassed about what he was fishing for. You have no control what bites your lure but evidently the ANTIFA operative wasn't abiding with common sense.

So so yummmm your oysters sandwiches your re very good cook too I’m happy for both of you ❤️

Taku you are living the life bro!!! Can’t wait till I’m able to do what you do.

great shot of the tide rising.

I think this is the only catch & cook oyster video on KZread I like, I gotta make some plans to go out to Washington. For what I’ve been seeing that’s the fishing spot here in U.S

Not sure if you've changed cameras or switched up editing styles, but the colors in this video are so vibrant!

Tide shot was so cool!

beautiful sandwiches! Nice adventure.

I Subscribed because of the most awesome Fried Oyster Po Boy I have ever seen someone make! The Pickled Kelp Habanero Tartar Sauce and everything you did was something I am super impressed with :D

Nice video, Taku! Looking forward to the collab with Jordan. Good looking food!

I was surprised to not see an upload yesterday.

That’s paradise right there

It was cool watching the live tide! Also, Jocelyn's face is too strong/beautiful 😂 no lie tho it kept zooming in on her face😆 The food had me like🤤

Very yummy and crunchy the way you cook it ❤injoy your traveling s and everything you both injoy doing❤️

Very nice island with beautiful place ❤❤ Thank you for great sharing my friend

Looks so damn good ! ! As always

You're in the water... Stay safe and put on a life jacket 😅

I want to try this sandwich so bad! Looks delicious! Great video!

Seahawks game Sunday, Taku and Jocelyn! Tailgate food is very popular and not to expensive!! There is a whole street of tailgate foods. If you ever have the time on a Seahawks game day check it out. Check out Carnitas Michoacan up on Beacon Hill. Real Mexicans like myself. Food is off the chain good!! Glad you all like Washington!!

I was salivating while watching you guys eat the po boy.

We enjoy oyster picking and crabbing when we were in WA they huge dungeonous crabs they are all delicious an incredible experience.

That Po' Boy was STACKED!

Again....the epic IPA CHUG. LOVE IT

That must take like heaven!!! Wow 👌

I instantly knew where you were even before the video started just looking at the background and title. Lived on the Puget sound all my life

This was so dope!

Wow, that looks tasty…. Love those big north pacific oysters. Used to buy a container 500 grams fresh shucked for 4$ Canadian when I lived in Vancouver, year 2000🥂

Ive made a lot of meals on this channel based on what he makes since their is a huge asian grocery store less then 20 minutes from me... almost all exact ingredients and I can tell you they are so amazing.. of course I had to dub down on a few fatty ingredients since I got total hip replacement surgery about a month ago, cant have added weight on my new titanium hip...still practicing on cutting sushi though, that will take some time to master.. even the experts of sushi chiefs haven't mastered it.. takes years and years of patience

Omg that all looks so delicious 🤤
