we are cooking lobster and some conch
everything's from the ocean freshly
you see right here
i'm andrea that's alejo
those are bears ozzy and echo
and this is our home hakuna
subscribe to join us every sunday as we explore the world above and below the surface
what's up everyone so we made it to lee stocking and
our friends gave us some really good spots
for spear fishing for catching lobsters and as you know alejo has been trying to catch a lobster for
i think since we arrived to the bahamas
and we have not seen one not one lobster we have seen so
today is going to be the day where we hopefully catch something
um baby what are you doing?
uh one of our toilets is having problems
so it's not that the toilet is clogged because we've been using the product that our patreon Patrick gave us
but we're having some issues with the thruhull
i think it has something inside that is not letting
i don't know the poop come out so i'm gonna go
that's a nice way of saying it
it's your poop
the poop
your toilet your poop
it's your poop, your toilet
he's gonna put a rug around the hose then put in the hose in the through hole
turn on the water full pressure and then just pull it out and i think that should fix it
well at least it should
so if you're thinking about living on a boat just remember that every single boat owner has their
poop story and if you don't have yours yet
yours is yet to come
and if you live in a house and you're thinking to yourself that is so disgusting how can these people swim where they're trying to open their tank
well let me tell you something
where do you think the big giant cruise ships and those big giant massive yachts and boats
that have giant tanks and the cities and all that stuff
where do you think they dump all their
poop and all their pee and all that stuff it is in the ocean it is not nice it is not pretty but it's
the real life so when you're watching when you're going in the beach and you're just taking a swim
just know that that cruise ship that is three miles out it could be dumping their poop and their
stuff right where you're going in
so the problem is actually thinking that human waste or trash is completely gone and completely disappears once you dump it or throw it
because it doesn't it has to end up somewhere to put it in context in 2017 the city of miami actually dumped partially treated
human waste offshore in the ocean so you're talking if this is what the city of miami does
that has funds and has an infrastructure what are the other cities doing so yeah a lot of human
wastes up in the ocean uh they can do it three miles offshore and the same thing goes
for trash you know when you dump your trash it doesn't disappear from the world that's why it's
so important to stop the use of plastic so much is because plastic actually has to end up somewhere
whether it's in the ocean or whether it's in a landfill or whether it's somewhere most of these
places are not prepared
the plastic lasts more than 500 000 years, some of it does at least
and so that's why it's so important for us humans to realize like don't take things for granted you know
when you live in a boat you realize hey water is not an unlimited resource
you realize energy is not an unlimited resource
you actually have to have that conscience you realize that
garbage doesn't disappear just because you throw it in the garbage it ends up somewhere
all right so we made it to the spot where we're gonna try to spearfish
something
what are you hoping to catch?
i don't know we'll see what there is underwater
that's a good size
i know! finally our first conch
your first lobster baby!
conch number two
talk to me how was it?
(singing) we have a lobster
a small lobster but i guess
we thought it was a big lobster
what else
we have two conchs whoa
big conchs
and now we need to learn how to make conch
so we just made it back on the boat and that was pretty awesome we got our first conch and our first lobster
i can honestly say we're pretty proud of ourselves
i'm not too proud of myself because i missed one red snapper and two lionfish
i think from what we've learned you have to be very calm when you're going to spear the fish
because what happened is that i saw the fish and i went for it right away
the red snapper it punctured it it had it but it just got out
and then the two lionfish just went in a hole because i think i was like
my heart was pumping so fast and i just wanted to like kill the two lionfish
i really like killing lionfish
sounds bad but they're very bad for the reefs and they have no predators here
so i can't believe i missed them they were huge lionfish that would have been a nice dinner
but
we have our first dinner this one's massive yo
so how do you feel?
so proud
you are? are you happy?
I'm proud of you that you caught the two conchs and i'm proud of myself that i caught the lobster
tell me what have you learned from spear fishing that you were telling me that i need to do next time
so when you go down i think it's very important to stay calm because
like when you're going down your heart beats like a thousand reps
so just go down see a fish
shoot it
so this is our first time catching conch and so we're gonna youtube how to
get conch and not not how to what is it
how to open the conch shell
and get the actual
how to take it out yeah
so the first thing that we have learned is that the conch needs to have a pretty defined lip
which is what you see right here and it has to be pretty thick so that means that he's old enough
and so that means you can actually eat it
because if not you need to wait until it grows and then you can actually eat it so it's sustainable fishing you know
you don't want to just kill everything and just go out and no
we want to make sure that he's old enough and that we can actually
that he has time to reproduce and do his thing right
yes so you open a small hole above the second horn
first one seconds above here right uh-huh
or is it here?
no no above this yeah
a little hole yeah
you sure
jesus
it's gonna damage my hammer
do you have a regular hammer
what do you mean
i can't get the nail
approximately 10 hours later
we call andrea the conch master because she got both of them out
yep nice that's a lot of meat oh i think so
so that's the head you want to cut off the head i mean you want to use the board
that's the head that's it it's off
i think we cut his head off
let me tell you it was a lot harder than you would think
when they tell you but we're learning we're learning it was the first thing
it's freaking hard
here we are two hours later still working on the conch
guys so we have the kung already only the white meat
not a lot we're gonna hammer it down and then we're gonna make some conch fritters
we're making some conch fritters
i'm gonna make half um i dice them really small put onions bell peppers
i'm gonna put a little bit of flour tomato paste and then create like little balls
and just fry them
andrea is making some french fries
yep dangerous french fries dangerous
explosive french fries
and we're gonna also make like conch fritters but just like the conch like slices
and then i'm gonna hammer them so it gets soft and then we're just gonna
do some breadcrumbs and then just fry it
and we'll see what's what's better we'll let you guys know
why are you doing that
because it has to be soft tender yes
because the conch it's like a giant muscle so once you cut it it's like dense
we're making little balls of this and we are frying our first conch fritter
conch fritter
so we can see if it's good or not
we were dreaming about the day that we were gonna make our own conch and make our own lobster
and we have the fried conch
it's not very healthy a lot of fried food plus we also made french fries
and we're making the lobster lobster
and we also made some typical Bahamian sauce
that's like a little spicy with some mayo and some ketchup it's weird
ketchup mustard mayo and spicy
maybe i've never tried it before
and we're making the lobster here
did you dream about the day that you would have lobster yes
and you would be making your own
that we'd be making our own lobster
how do you feel is it a special day today
a very special day
why
look at the day we are cooking lobster and some conch
everything's from the ocean freshly
freshly caught
well bon appetit guys we're gonna have some food we'll see you later
how's the food baby
everything's really good like really good
you mean your lobster
it's delicious love it
i just ate it all
it feels so good we were just talking that you feel so proud because you catch it yourself
because you have to work for it so it's so special and it feels so grateful that
the ocean can actually feed us it's so so special
but anyway just wanted to share that so it's good
love it love it
we'll see you later say goodbye
you
