Hey guys welcome back I've just been for a quick dip off the dive shop jetty um which
if you have been to Uepi before and you've seen our island tour episode i'll link it up here
and you will know that we missed this part of the island in our tour for some reason
I don't know what happened we just missed it but it's a beautiful part of Uepi and
we dive from this jetty all the time. I just had a beautiful swim and I've popped up to
the kitchen to find that we don't really have a lot of options for dinner tonight
we've got some veggies there but we don't have any seafood and we haven't had any seafood for
almost a week so Jase and I thought this was a good chance for us to do a catch and cook
fish recipe that you can make at home. And it's really simple it's really easy you can cook it
anywhere on a bbq in a frying pan in in the oven um so we'll show you how we do it and hopefully
we get a fish if we don't get a fish then it'll be veggies for dinner but we'll see how we go
Hey, sshh. Filly's asleep
Ok, I've got the veges for dinner
pumpkins eggplants peppers beans hopefully if we actually get some fish
The thing about this recipe is it's so super easy it's really really easy to prepare you've just got to
cut vegetables basically and whatever you've got at home and then because it's
all sealed inside aluminium foil it stays um it stays really nice and juicy and moist
I hate the word moist. Haha we're making really big parcels tonight because we're feeding eight people - Mirri
and May are going to eat with us as well as Jill and Grant so we're doing our potatoes
and pumpkins separately just with a little bit of olive oil and some spring onions but if you were
making this just for yourself or for a small family at home you could definitely just do
the veggies all together we do that sometimes this is just a bit easier for a bigger group
Jay's the parcel master
Everything else goes in the other one
it's a nice little lemon basil ginger fresh ginger
my best hack of all time don't bother peeling your ginger just use a microplane
and if you get a bit of skin in then - good - there's probably nutrients from that roughage
Sounds like someone's waking up sounds like Filly's awake
Filly's awake. We did well to get all of this done before she woke up
A little tamari or soy or you can use coconut aminos if you're bougie. It's hard for us to get here
[Ophelia] Oh look
What is it? Is that dinner? Big vege parcels. We're gonna try and catch some fish so we can have a Kivili deck
bbq fish and veggies. [Jase] Who do you think is going to catch the biggest fish today Filly
[Ophelia] Daddy
Ooohhh. Fair enough he probably will. [Jase] So the main thing is to make sure these are tight
um you don't want them to have or as little air escaping as possible these are not my
most beautiful works of art but as long as they're sealed and they'll keep all that moisture and
it'll just stew inside then all those flavors will circulate. [Katie] The bottom, the veggies on the bottom
go really crispy and nice and everything else throughout is kind of steamed. Who else is here?
[Katie] Who do you think's gonna get the biggest fish? [Arlo] Mummy
[Katie] What about May? What's May's vote?
Katie!
[Jase / Katie] Arrghhh
[Katie] Mirri, what's your vote?
Ahhhhhhh, Katie!
[Everyone] Laughing
wow we shall see and Arlo, what fish would you like daddy to get for you?
Pajara!
yeah that's a coral trout isn't it
[Katie] Almost stepped on an erabachi
so we both really love catch and cook videos and um this has a different meaning for us because
yeah a catch and cook for us is kind of most days of the week and it's what we do in order to
feed our family so we still obviously really love it we love spear fishing it's great fun
um but hopefully I think we'll we'll be doing a few of these videos catch and cook and hopefully
with recipes that you guys can repeat at home so you can enjoy similar style food if you like
this sort of thing make sure you let us know if you do try the recipe and if you enjoy it we'd
love to hear from you um but yeah my ride is here. The chariot arrives. Wish us luck!
K bye!
Wooohoo little doggie
[Katie] Guess what! Guess what kind of fish daddy got? [Arlo] Pajara
[Katie] Yeah and guess what else?
I don't know. [Katie] A doggy!!!
A doggy [Katie] Daddy got a doggy!!!
[Jase] Perfect little Pajara for you guys and you can have some doggy too it's so small.
[Katie] They're both pretty small
they're by no means the biggest fish we've ever thought but it's um it's dinner
[Katie] First lot of veggies are on
[Arlo] Fin, look it's a top fin
[Katie] Yeah and are they the anal fins yeah, dorsal fin, peck (pectoral) fin
[Katie] Tail? [Arlo] Tail.
[Arlo] Oh he got it
[Arlo] Look I'm holding the tail
[Arlo] Mummy, look I'm holding the tail. Oh look Filly's holding it.
Good trip. I didn't get any fish actually. I guess one thing we think about a lot here
is the fact that our kids eat a lot of fish we do have to be conscious of the mercury content of
the fish that we give to them so getting smaller reef fish is preferable and if we're ever going to
give them pelagic fish like dog tooth tuna then a really small size is good obviously a big fish
usually goes a bit further which is better but we we're happy with these today. They're pretty excited .
[Katie] T o prepare your fish add the fillets or a whole scaled and gutted fish to some outfoil
add some olive oil and some soy sauce or tamari we use a bit of fresh ginger spring
onions and some fresh herbs and then you want to fold the fish into the parcel so you've got
a nice tight parcel make sure no air is escaping to get nice juicy fillets
and then put it straight onto a hot bbq or into the hot oven. A parcel this size
only takes a few minutes so we always cook our veggies first they take about 20 minutes or so
[Arlo] I want some fish. [Katie] You're getting some fish mate.
Ha ha so good.
That's pretty good, it's fresh out of the sea you can taste the difference
[Katie] 10 out of 10? [Jase] It's about an hour old
[Jase] Arlo what do you rate it? [Katie] What's your score out of 10 Arlo?
[Jase] One's the worst 10's the best. What do you think the rating is?
[Katie] Is it 10 out of 10 - the best?
yeaaaaaahhhh
[Katie] What's your rating out of ten then?
It's only an eight I don't quite get the caramelisation on the veggies
[Katie] A bit more sauce in the recipe. [Jase] A bit more sauce. [Katie] Yeah didems, looks like you didn't really like it
I gave an eight too but really only because we have so many
exceptional dishes that are a ten that it's really hard. Normally this might be a ten
[Katie] You gotta keep the pressure on
but you don't want to don't want standards to drop
Don't want standards to drop no
[Katie] and and nana, Jill, Oreke has finally made it what's your rating out of 10 Jill?
20 out of 10. [Katie] Oh there you go
[Grant] Jill's not that good at math
Nana gives 10 points because she doesn't have to cook it
because I came here late and I was handed a delicious plate full of food that I haven't had anything to do with preparation
or cooking or catching or anything all I've got to do is eat it so for me that's 20 out of 10.
[Katie] Excellent
