Where is your knife man?
See the knife there
See the rain coming there
Sort those fish there too
So what's going on tonight, chef?
Making a little fish
I'm frying some fish and plantain to eat
because I'm hungry man
but I just put them between the fish like that, but
It's directly fish I'm dealing with now
and when I see them
Yeah, I'm going to fry them and cook them down
They’re good to be steamed that way, but
because I'm not going to have the fire
They should turn brown
but because this wood is no good
Because this wood burns slow
because it's f**kery wood he brought
F**kery wood?
Yeah
Too wer?
Too wet, and he knows that too
Don't you know that?
He knows that
I don’t want any man
What kind of wood it that. Give me that piece
These are like barracuda steaks
Basically. Barracuda, yeah?
Did you ever hear about Barracuda
being poisonous or something like that?
How does that work?
When they eat copper
Yeah? Sea copper
I thought
That’s why I test them
I don't just eat barracuda fish
Didn’t you see when the flies went on it?
When you were making the video, and I said it’s good
Flies don't go on anything that's poison
No sir
Flies won't go on anything that's poison man
That's why we test it on the barracuda fish
Look at that. Even on the dish
The flies are going for it.
Nice plantain with the fish in it
We're about to get rained on heavily again
It's been a hell of a week here
I'm telling you
Here it comes
Come on Matthew, let's go
Let's get out of here
We’re hopping under some cover.
Mokko’s got the fish under cover
Over here
Come in come in
Matthew, look over here
Here we are again
Matthew
Look over here
A sweetie
Lucky
Luckily, it's usually over
as quick as it begins
That was pretty much two minutes.
Heavy, heavy fall and then done, so
and by done I mean done
for maybe another
half an hour, 20 minutes, an hour
Who knows?
Damn, that was intense for a second
Wow Ya man
Catch a fire
Fire man in the building
Mokko’s also known as Fire Man
That’s a good name
Can’t get more badass than fireman
Crispy stew down
wow that fire's hot
That coconut milk though
Look's like the wood’s working now man
Look at it steam up so quick.
It was sitting there for one whole evening?
Yeah
Well, you know, when we went
and got that firewood
it was raining like today
So it must have been
out there for a while
You know, for all the skellion and thyme that you use
I've never seen you grow it on the yard before
How come?
I’m going to grow some man
Everything has a season
So I just missed the timing
Yes sir
Okay
When you were a fisherman did you shoot these before?
Ya man. I eat these 24/7
They scare the big ass teeth after
They’ll bite you up
Yeah?
Do you know someone who's been bitten?
Yeah, I know. I see them.
and its just you
it’s better you leave them alone
and call in gangs, or your friends
Yeah. Yeah
You alone can’t attack it
One person can't attack a barracuda. He'd have to be good
But, another one will come around you
When you kill his friend
When you catch his friend
Ya man
Yeah, there’s some mean fish out there
My first time diving in Bali
I got attacked by triggerfish
the one big kind of
round ones with big buckteeth
They put a hole in your wetsuit
And that was my very first diving experience
within the first ten minutes
getting attacked by a huge one
So I didn't get bit
I was able to get my flippers out and go
and the dive mater tried to get in front and block
but it was a it was a good dive
First dove triggerfish attack
Sea turtle and shark
but I don't think I've ever seen
a barracuda before
How big are they? They're huge, right?
They’re long like this man
Yeah
Huge
Giant
Giant man
This one here is a baby
This one is a baby barra sir
Baby barra
That's a good name for this episode
Baby barra steaks
Ya man
Yes man
See it?
They don’t have anything now. Nothing more
We go f**ked the other day
You know
Not getting f**ked Matthew
The other day I got f**ked up
Something fell in my food
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we learned our lesson the other day
pretty hard
It's a good looking breadfruit
Looks like a sweet one too
Looks like it’s good
Water is in them
Oh, yeah?
From rain, you mean?
oops.
Extra wet
Yeah, we’ll make it work
Looks like a puff ball mushroom, almost
It's a very light color one
Got any tips for picking
breadfruit from a tree?
Yeah, what's a good one to go for?
Bamboo stick
Yeah
Bamboo stick is what they use to pick them
Men climb it and use the bamboo stick to pick them
With a prong on the end too?
Like a craw [crotch]
on the end
Yes sir
And what about selecting
the right breadfruit?
As soon as they're this size
are they pretty much ok?
Or do they have to be a certain
ripeness or what?
Yeah, a certain ripeness
How do you tell the ripeness though?
Because it seems like everyone's
picking the green ones
and when I think of green
I usually think Ok that’s not ripe yet
The ripe ones
Yeah
are when it’s full
It must get ripe
If you leave it for three days
So you can pick them green.
Just let them sit for a few days
Three days
Good to go brother
Is it a texture thing
when you touch it or is it
more of a scent or what?
Softer
You can eat it when it’s almost ripe too
Ya man!
You want more?
That’s good for me man
It looks great
You were telling me about breadfruit wine too
They make wine. They make cake
They make everything out of breadfruit
Especially around August time
Festival
Breadfruit Festival
Oh, yeah.
Ya man. Cake, pudding, everything
Yes
Did you ever get drunk off of
breadfruit wine before?
Another super versatile one
just like the coco can do
a hundred different things
Ya man
Very, very versatile
They’ve got water in them
Soggy?
They are sweet still
Extra hydration
Better we be on a hillside with
wild hogs and those things
We don’t want to see mankind
Woah look at that sauce
That really, really
boiled down eh?
Yes sir
It's a good work
Yes sir
Baby barra, baby breadfruit
Yes sir
bonanza
You’re going to like it Matthew
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well you know breadfruit is one of my favorite things
Yeah. Yeah.
With a little sauce on it
Yeah. Beautiful fish sauce
Yeah
Looks awesome, so
Baby barracuda
Baby breadfruit
All together
Yeah
Give this breadfruit a taste first
Mmm
Number one man
Wow
That sauce
Oh my
I’m telling you man
When it gets thick like that
it is really, really good
That is a nice one
And barracuda
Nice and crispy on the outside
Brown
and cooked down
Brown and cooked down in coconut juice
That's like a steak
Yes sir
This one is amazing
so we had the smoked one
This one worked out better
I think the extra
crispiness on the outside
I feel like the smoking
almost smoked it too much
Cooked it too hard
You know, this is nice and crispy
on the outside and so soft on the inside
It's like a rare steak
Oh my God
If you're going to visit
you should ask for this one for real
This is
Barracuda
This might be in my top five
Tuna and Barracuda
they have the same
they’re the same
Like a steak
Totally
Very meaty fish
But, I don’t
I don’t let my fish
dry out before I get it right
I brown it first
when the juice is in it
so it can be really good
It doesn’t get mashed up
Ah dude, that's a killer one
Really
Just go easy
Respect
Oh, yeah, man.
We don't play around here
with coooking. Hear that?
We don’t play around with coooking
Alright
This barracuda cooks like a steak
One hundred percent
Alright sir
He's going for it
his going for the camera
Here we go. You like sugar cane?
So it feels like a yoga mat.
It bit me
It didn't taste like lemon
I'm getting lobster
grease all over my phone, but
It’s so worth it
So this is what I'm going for.
This is a full grown
pao shell here
