Fish and Poi

Went to check out this Lo'i in Kailua and picked up some poi.  So Good!  So what's the best thing to eat with poi?  FISH!

James Oshiro came out with me and Cat and went down hard.  Seas were rough and he puked out everything he had.  Dry heaving!  Good thing we had Mr. Bean with us.

But in the end we got back safe with some fish in the box.

First Ahi for James this year!

Mahalos to the Red Sea crew for all their help again.  Now we can eat fish and poi.

Poke for the People

We got to do some filming up on the north shore of oahu with Chris Chang from Poke for the people.  He has a nice poke shop and all the locals know about it.  Check him out next month on Hawaii Skin Diver TV.

Check out these poke bowls.  $13/bowl is amazing!

Great to meet up with Shima Bananas at the Okinawan festival.  They were jamming!

Fish Cutting

My friend ask me how to cut fish.  Here's a tip.  when quartering the fish and taking the skin off.    Because there is a bloodline you can skin the fish by slicing down the middle and sweeping the knife out to get a nice fillet.

Then after mixing and matching you can come up with you own poke bowls.

Mahi Madness

Got some yellow guys the other day!  Fun catching these.  There is a technique and once you learn how its gold!

Then went to see my nephews jam in their marching band.  Good job boys!

Otaru Mix

Other day we had a malolo or flying fish fly into my intake of my bait well.  It was one in a million chance for it to plug but it did.

We were fortunate to find the pile and load up on some Otaru, ono, mahi and marlin.

lots big 20 plus pounders.

And small marlin was perfect size.  Mahalos to my crew Al and Brent along with mama and papa and cat crow for the land assist.

Grade A+

Got lucky last week with this guy!  Its best to fish with low expectations so when you catch one of these Ahis it's just bonus.  We were very lucky to land this fish as the hook was barely hanging on to his lip.  With good teamwork my crew got it on board.

We were lucky to find a large piece of rubbish and grab a few more fish to the cooler.  Mahis, Ono and Otarus were in the mix.

Of course we take good care of each fish so the quality is Grade A+.

Gold Fever

Red Skies in the morning sailors delight, Red Skies at night sailors take warning.  Tropical storm Flossie was coming so we was going!  Big east swells and moderate light winds made it ideal.

Non stop action with Brent, Al and Cat.  Mahi is the king.

End of the day we were spent.  Al had no sleep the night before but still worked hard all day.

Mahis are gold now!

Time to offload and cut fish.  Mahalos to our crew for another fabulous day!
