CATCH AND COOK STURGEON

welcome back to the outdoor chef life, I'm Taku and today is Taco Tuesday and if you're not familiar with the concept, I'm Taku and I upload it every Tuesday, here on Outdoor Chef Live, so there are new videos all around on Tuesdays and today. We're fishing for

sturgeon

, so it took me a few days to

catch

this

sturgeon

that you're about to see in this video, but the first day, this is how it went, let's get started, it's funny, I have a fish, I guess not, oh, striper, there. Wow, that was a little striper, yeah buddy, if you take them to a good school, you'll

catch

a lot of them, oh my gosh, a little striper, such a little striper, he's just heavy, something just him, no, I don't know what it is, look, look. it looks this size perfectly legal, although it's 50 inches right there at the slot limit set on everything it says gopro starts recording oh it's already recording and that's pretty much sturgeon fishing just anchor to the bottom , cast and watch the rod tip for that.

The slight bend and sturgeon are known to have the most subtle bite of any large fish. It could be such a big fish, but that bite is so subtle that sometimes you can't even see it and you'll see it on the next one. one, I had one more bite the first day and you can barely see the movement of the rod and in the video you can't even tell, look at it there, you go, okay, I have a type, I have one that is a sturgeon, it is a keeper, I have one, oh. no it came off oh no oh no oh hell it came off man that was a sturgeon yeah that one was good too and that was the last bite I had on the first day and man I watched that clip over and over again.

I'm pretty sure it was a sturgeon and really oh man I was so sad I watched it so many times over and over losing that fish and thinking what could have been but all you can do is go out and try again . The second day was very slow so there weren't really many bites, nothing really interesting happened. I caught a striper, so nothing worth showing, so let's move on to day three. Here you have the largest anchor of any kayak. Look at my anchor. You know what they say. big anchors, you're not going anywhere, yeah, this current is very fast, no joke, I'm going to start with uh, just the ghost shrimp, we have a 12 ounce weight here, this current is fast, hopefully it holds up, here we go first, we cast and They made us some smoked rainbow trout every time they smoke me uh oh brother, no, no, did you see that, although every time I get smoked fish from the NSA I usually catch it, so it's a little charm Good luck right here, is it okay if I'm sitting right?

Not here, you're good, you see, it's worth having a big anchor. They all have to anchor on my anchor because they are adrift. My anchor is not big enough. It's sliding everywhere. This is quite fun. Eh, the boats are going to be the reason? Damn, those kayaks are side by side, close together, pretty safe, that sturgeon over there is big too, oh yeah man, that took up more than the entire screen, yeah, I got the redheads down, oh yeah bro, brother, wait, brother. set set set van first catch of the day keeper striper where did all your stripes just disappear? well the little guy gave a nca heart attack you want this no it's okay see you guys so we're moving places cause this place I'm seeing fish but they don't bite me it may be a bad decision it might be a good decision, who knows, see you there, oh Adam, oh no way, get it, get it, come on Adam, yeah, good job, yeah, he's got one for that thing, man, yeah.

Adam worked very hard for that fish man, congratulations to Adam, that was his first sturgeon keeper, so go watch the video of him fishing hard. I'll leave a link in the description. That you got it on the ghost shrimp and then on the grass shrimp? coffee, I have a nice feast, there are two ghost shrimp and one grass shrimp right now Adam, did you use magic thread? Was it a good bomb? Was it a good strong bomb? What color underwear are you wearing? What oh me too wait? There is no current going in that direction. yeah, so they're going over here oh, there's a thing right there oh, I don't know what striper feels like no, this is tough, okay, I've got this fish under control yeah, it's coming in oh little, little sturgeon, baby, well, no skunk, okay, your turn bro, my turn, no big deal, you know, just

I worked hard for that fish man thanks wow look how beautiful it is such a beautiful fish this is a dinosaur right here these guys have literally been around for how long since the dinosaurs since the dinosaurs and I can't believe I have one today buddy we're finally successful together , usually we both fail or if we're lucky, yeah, nice, 43 inches, the size of the baby and the caregiver is 40 inches to 60 60. 40 to 60 inches, there's a limit of space for these uh sturgeons because you want to leave go to the big ones and then the smaller ones too, so the space limit is 40 to 60 inches and those are the only ones you can keep to make sure that these guys are still alive and that we have them year after year, look at that head, oh my god.

This is crazy, this is the craziest thing, this is the biggest fish I've ever caught and the sturgeon there, um, there's a limit per person, two per year, so I think it's one a day and then two, three, four years, that's three for Last year I crossed it off the list, another fish on the list and I'm really curious to see how they taste because I've never eaten sturgeon so I'm really curious and it's the NSA's turn. I have a couple of small fish today, I know. Although you'll scream to steal the deadliest cast, he connected me with this uh, with this good leader here, so I got him thanks delo, thanks brother, I appreciate it, the man caught him for the third time was the charm, uh, oh God mine, oh my god, he's gone. oh my god dude oh my god oh yeah that's a big boy thanks another rod I get it oh man okay just give me 10 more minutes the man broke it he broke it damn how many pound test was that 50 pound test? 50 quid you want one of these kiloliters yeah sure 100 mate my first sturgeon 43 inches a good keeper a good healthy keeper Adam with his 41 inch sturgeon too be sure to check it out guys oh that It was incredible, what a day, man, what a day we've been killing it. 2021 is off to an amazing start, I'll tell you it was great guys, now we are going to

cook

our beautiful sturgeon and people say that sturgeon is like pig and when I think of pig I want to make some tonkatsu, in this case it will be katsu of sturgeon, so I'm going to make that for one of the dishes and another dish that I'm craving right now is going to be okonomiyaki, so I know I made that. several times in my videos, but I crave it, so I want it.

I want to make it with sturgeon because a lot of times it's also made with thin slices of pork, so I'll use sturgeon instead and I think it will be Well, first we're going to start with half a cabbage and we're going to cut it into small slices and dice and we'll put it in a bowl and then I'm also going to add some green onions in there like Okay, and this is a portion of the sturgeon, I'm going to slice it thin like sashimi, slice it thin and cut it cold, and moving on, this is another piece of the sturgeon, I'm just going to take it, butterfly this piece open and We'll leave it at that, these are some of the dry ingredients that we're going to use today and the first one is okunomi flour, but if you don't have access to this stuff, you can use all purpose flour.

Do it all the time, this is basically flour mixed with a little bit of seasoning and I'm going to add a couple of eggs and a little bit of water as well. Now we're making a kind of dough, uh, of a similar consistency. to a pancake batter and I'm going to keep adding a little bit of flour and a little bit of water until I'm happy with the texture and the consistency and when it looks like this, this is what I'm going to do right here, heat a frying pan over medium heat and once it's hot we're going to add that cabbage mixture, now we're going to place the sturgeon slices right on top covering the entire top of this cabbage pancake called okonomiyaki osaka style, which is the city where From now on, let's first work on that piece of sturgeon in the shape of a butterfly, we will dip it in a little flour, now we will put the beaten egg all over it and then we will finish it in panko, that is what will give it that crispy texture. everyone loves katsu heat up some oil over medium heat and throw in the sturgeon now let's see if the okonomiyaki looks ready to flip so I'm going to go ahead and flip it in about five more minutes this should be perfect , let's say the katsu also looks golden and looks good.

We'll let it sit for another four minutes or so. I'm going to flip it one more time just to make sure it's nice and crispy and just squish it to make sure it's nice. that top is nice and crispy, there you go, both dishes are done at the perfect time, let the katsu sit for a little bit and let's stir fry this with some ybs secret sauce and this other sauce, it's called okonomi sauce and I'll show you. what that looks like here and of course we're going to put some katsu bushi in there, also known as bonito flakes, and we're also going to finish with some aonori, which is just some seaweed flakes, those two hawanori in the katobushi in the middle. on the right I have west coast style ipa smith ale ipa oh look at that perfect greeting tonkatsu sturgeon katsu sturgeon and if you didn't know what tonkatsu sauce is this is slightly different okonomi sauce if you don't have one or the other I can use them interchangeably but this one is a little more sour the tonkatsu sauce is also a little thinner you use it for the furkatsu if you didn't tell me this was fish I wouldn't know wow oh that's good crunchy yeah the texture isn't much like fish huh yeah people say that the texture is like that of pork, that's why I decided to make a tonkatsu which is normally made with pork okonomiyaki, which is normally made with pork and also thinly sliced ​​and it's really good. ok ok now for the okonomiyaki oh I love okanoyaki I was looking forward to it oh I can't really say this is fish yeah yeah starting off so unique what a fish I know a lot of people smoke it it's a way quite common to prepare it. um sturgeon, I think I'll try some of them.

I still have some steaks left. I can't, I give a lot to my friends, so um, yeah, but it's a big fish, so I have a lot to give out like that. than pork or chicken actually because it's not that oily yeah like pork it's too oily mm-hmm but this one is perfect oh yeah the texture is so soft it's not as it's not that dense like pork, you know, it's so soft and, but it's not flaky like a fish like it doesn't fall apart like that I probably found a fish that I like better than salmon, except raw salmon still rolls up, so sturgeon as far as cooked fish goes is number one, that's crazy, yes this is so good, yes I am.

I'm pretty impressed with sturgeon because I know people say it's similar to pork, but I feel like I've heard comparisons before and I'm like no, it still tastes the same as it is, yeah, but this one's kind of true, uh, yeah Surprisingly, yes. I was looking forward to this, but now I really want more of this, alright, uh, thanks for watching guys, if you liked the video, make sure to hit the thumbs up, subscribe and I'll see you next time.
