thanks for having me of course happy to have you guys uh if you guys don't remember last time i was on this boat with lance and kyle and caroline i shot a white sea bass if you guys haven't seen that video make sure to check that out but this trip we are focusing on lobster right and uh we actually we're here now and the sun's going to go down in about an hour we're planning to dive for lobster uh tomorrow morning but tonight we're gonna take out the tender right here this little boat and maybe try to get some squid because there's some squid boats out there so that's a good sign and maybe lance you're gonna try to get some scallops too yeah yeah i might go diving around the point here a little bit and just look for some monster scallops that we saw there a couple days ago so we're gonna check that out all right sounds good let's get to it all right good luck with the scallops all right guys well here's kyle what's up guys yeah so we're gonna go catch some squid right now but we'll try at least we should be able to there's a ton of uh squid boats out here so that's a good sign that usually means there's a big concentration of squid some kind of squid game going on same kind of squid game [Music] i usually reel it up like really slow oh really and then multiple they'll start coming on okay yeah i'll try that and then once you're like halfway through then i'll just fill it up you know oh squid look at that these are so good i love fresh squid it's like one of my favorite things from the sea um we're gonna eat some raw later sashimi yeah it's like fast enough that they don't come off oh one just came off right there at the surface squishy yeah yeah and just like sea water a little like boba balls of sea water right yeah oh oh one just got another one off right there well i just don't get off of mine right there that one nice i think i have one on as well have you ever done any fishing for like humboldt squid no i wanted i guess i want to do that it's crazy i want to i want to cook with i want to see you cook with like a big old like steak yeah yeah you know yeah like a fat yeah oh like a two inch steak yeah well we probably got about 20 squid something like that i think uh we're going to call it now before it gets dark head back to the yacht and we're going to make dinner i wasn't planning on filming uh the dinner for tonight but maybe we'll film a bit we'll see let's see how good this squid turns out it's gonna be delicious no matter what i love squid like the most sustainable seafood out there we're just talking about how everything eats squid everything loves squid you know as a food source they grow up about that size these ones at least the market squid that we have here and they die within seven to ten months that's it that's their life cycle really quick bam bam bam so that's what makes them sustainable and everybody loves to eat them look out for the weight at the bottom and yes jocelyn is here and here's caroline we got squid for you guys nice then he got 10. oh we got a couple sea urchin limit of scallops hold it nice nice ones in there yeah there weren't as many as i thought there'd be but it's so beautiful pretty evening clear in there oh so yeah super clear just so beautiful oh well nice how'd you guys do oh we got about 20 squid nice just squeeze it yeah oh it looks good [Music] good morning guys well it is a wonderful beautiful morning here on the island last night we made some delicious dinner uh kyle sous vide some steak and he seared it off on the grill i made some squid snow mono with the fresh squid i caught as well as some yellow tail sashimi uh the yellow tail that lands in kyle shot we also have some grilled lobster um lance and kyle got that lobster on their last trip so they brought some over so we can eat some for dinner but we're gonna get some more today all right let's get suited up ready to go let's get in there and here we go the first thing you notice the visibility is amazing it's so clear and beautiful down there you can see all the fish you can see all the the seaweed all the rocks so today we're doing a day dive for lobster i've only tried night diving for lobster so this is brand new to me and during the day is a little different because they're all hidden under the rocks so you gotta search uh or under these rocks only these ledges maybe they're just hidden in these holes so you gotta find them first that's the first task really and we're looking inside these dark holes these caves that's the way that's where they'll be hidden most of the time so the water temperature this time of year is about 58 degrees fahrenheit pretty cold and we're diving in about 15 to 20 feet of water so it's not too deep it's definitely doable for me and yeah so we kept searching these rocks searching the holes and here i think i was just trying to pry out a big sea urchin but it was way wedged in there so i couldn't get them out and here's one that kyle spotted see if you can see it the antenna is coming out of the ledge and there he is and he's trying to fill you with that antenna and kyle lets me know that he was there so i go down and try to grab him and it's hard to see here with the seaweed but uh even before i took a swipe at it he felt my hand with that antenna and he was just out of there so there was no way i was getting that one [Music] and here's another one that kyle spots right there in that cave it's a bigger hole in there and uh he's scooting back a little bit but kyle lets me know he was there so i dive down and give it a shot again got my head all the way down on the ground my shoulders down and i just reached for it and he's just out of reach they are so fast and i was upset about this one because i knew i should have probably had that one man can't catch a break after that i was determined to get a lobster and i dove over and over and over again trying my best i was giving it my all but no luck for me and this day diving for lobster was a lot more difficult than i had anticipated but i feel like i learned a lot from this trip even though i wasn't able to get one but luckily uh kyle and lance have a ton more experience than i do and they're very good at free diving they were able to capture plenty of lobster just a little little out of i reach all of them yeah they're really fast trying to go around and then like their antennas move around as soon as their antenna touches you they're gone okay look at the hole here several of them that's a pretty big one pretty much the same size about the we're gonna get started on the cooking process now and the first thing i'm doing is prepping the sea urchin look at this beautiful uni here as a nice big piece and i'm using my knife to sort of cut out a bowl with the sea urchin shell and you'll see what i'm going to do with them in a bit here but wow beautiful uni some world class uni here these ones are classified as red urchin but if you go to a sushi restaurant you might see santa barbara uni on the menu and this is what that is so kyle's helping me with the prep here and he's gonna get started with these lobster heads grilling them and just getting a little char on them so we can use them to make some delicious lobster stock and he's also going to go ahead and take out the tail meat as well and i finally finished cleaning out all the uuni and this is what dreams are made of i'm gonna get started on this lobster tail as well and i'm just cutting chunks of lobster just bite-sized pieces i'm also gonna start cutting some lobster sashimi and we're doing this while the boat is moving moving fast so it's a little wobbly right here so what we're gonna do now i have some rice right here that i just washed uh cut up some of the lobster tail and clean out all the uni that was a long process we're gonna mix the rice and the lobster and the uni all in here and we're going to put it inside the uni shell and we're going to put a scallop in each one as well and we made some lobster stock here and we're going to fill that with lobster stock and we're going to steam it steam everything inside the uni shell so it's going to be a ton of flavor from the lobster stock from all the different seafood and i think that's going to be probably the best seafood dish seafood rice dish ever put that all in there [Music] that's like half and half lobster in uni and this is just raw rice uncooked rice [Music] [Laughter] [Music] i think that should be good it might it'll probably come up all the way to the top here but i think it should be all right and then i gotta put a piece of scallop right in the middle one whole scallop right there nice and we're gonna cover this with kelp and we're gonna steam it oh well first we gotta put the stock in there too look at these it's pretty much more meat than rice i think so now to that i'm gonna actually add a little bit of mirin a little sweetness i'm just going to add it directly in there just a touch [Laughter] so i lined the bottom with kelp and that kind of helps it balance all the urchin now i'm going to add the stock in here just fill it all the way to the top [Music] i'm just going to cover this with help just like just going to throw the kelp right on top of this i'm just going to add some water to the bottom here i'll just lay the kelp right on top of there [Music] [Music] go [Music] this [Music] so [Music] [Music] special [Music] so [Music] all right here we go some freestyle plating let's see how this turns out this is lobster sashimi [Music] so [Music] we got lobster sashimi we got scallop sashimi and we also have the uni right there too and the grilled squid right up front [Music] that's definitely good all right then we'll just pull it out [Music] just finish it with some green onion smells amazing i almost forgot the fresh onion on top [Music] oh guys well thank you all right for having us again thank you for catching the lobster yeah it's awesome this awesome feat yeah all right dig it i wanna go i'm gonna go with the uni yeah michelle you want one of these [Music] it's really good there's a rice full of clip yeah yeah it's perfectly good this lobster sushi is so good its own sweetness yeah so good well it was a long day but it was worth all the seafood definitely getting a lot of the good weenie flavor in the rice too it's just so soft when it's raw i mean compared to anything else eaten out of the ocean this is really delicious it really is i really like this i really like cooking rice in itself you know i cooked the rice in the crab shell yeah giant in the lobster lobster yeah well now we are stuffed absolutely delicious uh and thank you guys again it was yeah that was great yeah it was another another fun adventure yeah
