Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:03,490
(tense percussive music)
2
00:00:03,490 --> 00:00:04,490
This stuff is lookin' better.
3
00:00:04,490 --> 00:00:07,240
Oh, that is lookin' sexy!
4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,980
For residents of Alaska,
5
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:10,980
most of their groceries are shipped up
6
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:12,233
from the continental US.
7
00:00:12,233 --> 00:00:14,050
Being able to forage and going
8
00:00:14,050 --> 00:00:16,730
and getting this stuff myself is just kinda common sense.
9
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:18,630
However, if you know where to look,
10
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:21,630
the state of Alaska is rich with delicious resources
11
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:22,693
from the land and sea.
12
00:00:22,693 --> 00:00:25,055
Come on up and show yourself.
13
00:00:25,055 --> 00:00:27,820
(laughing) It's just like pullin' in a Volkswagen.
14
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:29,770
People say, "Well, what's the next Alaska?"
15
00:00:29,770 --> 00:00:32,640
There is no other Alaska, and there never will be.
16
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,473
Yeah!
17
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,040
When that last pot came up, and it was packed,
18
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,050
I didn't know what to do.
19
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:39,510
I was so excited!
20
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:40,343
I'll provide!
21
00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:45,363
(wind whistling)
22
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:51,460
(cheerful bluegrass music)
23
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:53,860
Chef Bradley Ewing of Kodiak, Alaska
24
00:00:53,860 --> 00:00:55,807
is known for using the ingredients available
25
00:00:55,807 --> 00:00:59,000
at his fingertips to create gourmet dishes.
26
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Amy, can you check on this stuff right here?
27
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,670
In Alaska, most produce is shipped in
28
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:05,790
on a long boat trip from Seattle,
29
00:01:05,790 --> 00:01:07,680
but to get fresh ingredients,
30
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,540
Bradley heads to the shore to search for sea lovage
31
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:13,300
as the vegetable for his upcoming feast.
32
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,540
Sea lovage is super unique.
33
00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:20,340
It's just got this nutty, seaweed ocean flavor
34
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:23,283
that's like you cannot hate on.
35
00:01:24,456 --> 00:01:27,280
Oh man. (laughing)
36
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Oh, look at this stuff.
37
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,440
This stuff is lookin' better.
38
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,420
Oh, that is lookin' sexy!
39
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:33,253
Yeah, buddy.
40
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:36,077
They're super cute, just little toppers.
41
00:01:36,077 --> 00:01:37,368
They're adorable.
42
00:01:37,368 --> 00:01:39,993
Now I'm hungry, so, it's doing me good.
43
00:01:39,993 --> 00:01:41,530
Being here in Kodiak, we don't have
44
00:01:41,530 --> 00:01:46,310
the best selection for like, ingredients.
45
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:47,853
Everything in Alaska
46
00:01:47,853 --> 00:01:52,363
gets barged from Seattle or LA or San Francisco.
47
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:57,730
It's like there isn't true fresh, you know.
48
00:01:57,730 --> 00:02:00,370
So being able to forage and going and getting
49
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:04,000
this stuff myself is kinda common sense; why not?
50
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,430
Boom, we're set, we scored.
51
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:06,638
Hell yeahs and high fives.
52
00:02:06,638 --> 00:02:07,471
Hell yeah.
53
00:02:07,471 --> 00:02:09,150
Humans first settled in Alaska
54
00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:13,160
over 15,000 years ago, and these early Alaskans
55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,340
quickly learned how to harvest the wildlife
56
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:17,800
on land and in the sea.
57
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,160
Today, you can still live off the land
58
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,730
by fishing and foraging for food in this amazing wilderness.
59
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:26,060
Local chef Bradley Ewing and his family
60
00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:28,500
specialize in cooking gourmet meals
61
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:30,940
that are caught and picked in the wild.
62
00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:33,400
But before Bradley can get to work in the kitchen,
63
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,210
he needs to gather his ingredients,
64
00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:38,850
starting with a species of trout known as Dolly Varden.
65
00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:41,210
Dolly Varden is essentially like Alaska trout.
66
00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:42,540
It's part of the char family.
67
00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:45,065
It's very delicate and lovely.
68
00:02:45,065 --> 00:02:46,610
I think they're actually chillin' out
69
00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:48,913
right here under this stump.
70
00:02:48,913 --> 00:02:51,393
So we'll get a lot of really nice bites right there.
71
00:02:51,393 --> 00:02:54,393
(groovy rock music)
72
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,910
Oh yeah, buddy, what up?
73
00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:58,013
Woo, right there.
74
00:03:00,563 --> 00:03:01,396
Yeah!
75
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:05,620
Tricksy little thing, aren't they?
76
00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:08,771
But it was the one that got away.
77
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:09,997
(mournful string music)
78
00:03:09,997 --> 00:03:13,510
Woo, that was fun, back to it.
79
00:03:13,510 --> 00:03:14,690
Whoa, here we go.
80
00:03:14,690 --> 00:03:18,323
Boom, that is the one, that is the one, yeah buddy!
81
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,060
You have no clue of the joy you're gonna bring people.
82
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:25,780
Boom, that is what I'm lookin' for.
83
00:03:25,780 --> 00:03:30,450
This is gonna be an amazing addition to my native dinner.
84
00:03:30,450 --> 00:03:32,160
Man, lovely. (smacks)
85
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,853
Mm, it tastes super fresh.
86
00:03:34,950 --> 00:03:37,800
You are the first guest to my dinner party.
87
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,560
You are cordially invited.
88
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Hopefully, you acquiesce to my request and come.
89
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Oh, you do?
90
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,030
Lovely, see you there.
91
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:47,700
The meal will also include wild goat meat
92
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,860
that Bradley received as a gift from a local hunter.
93
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:53,910
Bradley and his sister Amy still need to find
94
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:58,360
one more ingredient for his feast, rose hips.
95
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,690
Oh wait, what are these?
96
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:02,370
Rose hips are the fruit that rose bushes bear
97
00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:03,900
after the flower dies.
98
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:07,290
Yeah, let's just get up in here and see what we can get.
99
00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:08,737
How far do you want to go down?
100
00:04:08,737 --> 00:04:11,330
It's easiest to find rose hips, you know,
101
00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:12,840
when everything's starting to die,
102
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,340
and you can start seeing the red berries, you know,
103
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:17,870
through the foliage, and it's kinda yellow and whatnot,
104
00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:20,490
so it's, this is just kinda the perfect time.
105
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:21,800
Party zone over here.
106
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,633
Oh yeah, boom.
107
00:04:26,090 --> 00:04:28,847
It's like a tomato and a cranberry, you know what I mean?
108
00:04:28,847 --> 00:04:31,580
But a tomato that's just not got
109
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:33,810
very much love in its life. (laughs)
110
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:35,240
You know, it's like you think
111
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,490
about the fruit that you get out of this,
112
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:40,810
like 10% of this whole bulb we use.
113
00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:43,830
Rose hips are a lot of work to dig out the seed
114
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:46,450
and scrape the little fruit that you do get from them,
115
00:04:46,450 --> 00:04:47,760
so now I'm just thinkin' about
116
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,320
how much work I've made myself.
117
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,263
We need a lot.
118
00:04:52,767 --> 00:04:56,093
I got a bug up my nose.
(laughing)
119
00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:00,510
You totally missed again. (laughs)
120
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:02,016
It looks like a lot of work, truthfully.
121
00:05:02,016 --> 00:05:03,350
It is a lot of work.
122
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:05,563
But we'll sic Mom on that job.
123
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,170
I know the the time that they've put in,
124
00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:11,230
and I'm good with them just handing them over to me.
125
00:05:11,230 --> 00:05:12,620
I enjoy that part.
126
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:14,633
They did their work, it's my turn.
127
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:16,970
Bradley is ready to serve
128
00:05:16,970 --> 00:05:19,570
an unforgettable meal to his guests.
129
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:22,180
Bradley is serving a traditional Alaskan meal
130
00:05:22,180 --> 00:05:24,460
for a group of Aleutic natives.
131
00:05:24,460 --> 00:05:25,293
Go time, guys, ready?
132
00:05:25,293 --> 00:05:27,100
It is go time, yep.
You ready? I'm ready.
133
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,690
I'm ready!
Let's do this.
134
00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:31,090
Oh, this is so beautiful!
135
00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:33,010
Hi Sherri!
136
00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:35,510
Oh, come on in and sit down.
137
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:37,640
Thank you for coming.
138
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,737
Course numero uno.
139
00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:45,240
My braised goat, a ragout, French-style.
140
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,080
So here's our porcinis right here,
141
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,463
foraged locally in Kodiak.
142
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:51,353
Black-eyed peas.
143
00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:54,060
And I'm gonna put a little bit
144
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:56,060
of kale and parsley in the pot.
145
00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:58,240
I'm gonna put a little bit of red wine in.
146
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,153
The secret is always double down.
147
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,523
One for me.
148
00:06:02,523 --> 00:06:04,173
One for the pot, boom.
149
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:06,700
And it's lookin' like this is done.
150
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,331
I don't want to saute that kale too much.
151
00:06:09,331 --> 00:06:11,950
(smacks) Boom, I want all those vitamins to stay in there.
152
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:13,850
I want all that color to stay in there.
153
00:06:13,850 --> 00:06:16,940
This right here is my braised goat.
154
00:06:16,940 --> 00:06:18,360
I am ready to start plating.
155
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,834
Oh, so delicate, so amazing.
156
00:06:20,834 --> 00:06:24,490
(funky rock music)
157
00:06:24,490 --> 00:06:27,100
And black-eyed peas.
158
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:30,590
Parsley and rainbow chard,
159
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:32,250
little bit of green and purple right there.
160
00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:35,823
Nice little porcini broth to just bring everything together.
161
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:38,700
That looks so good.
162
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:39,750
That smells good.
163
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:41,240
Did you make me a plate?
164
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,573
I think we're lookin' good.
165
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,170
Enjoy.
166
00:06:46,170 --> 00:06:47,003
Thank you.
167
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:53,223
That is way better than I've ever cooked that.
168
00:06:54,612 --> 00:06:55,445
Me too.
169
00:06:55,445 --> 00:06:56,810
Well, from now on, we'll have Bradley
170
00:06:56,810 --> 00:07:00,150
come cook and cook for us. (laughing)
171
00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:01,990
Peasant food is what people
172
00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:04,380
have been subsisting on forever.
173
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:06,680
It's like really what makes the world turn, you know?
174
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,720
Cheap cuts made amazing.
175
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,340
The first course was a hit.
176
00:07:10,340 --> 00:07:12,700
Now it's time to move on to the second dish,
177
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:15,650
which will feature freshly caught Dolly Varden trout.
178
00:07:15,650 --> 00:07:16,483
Boom!
179
00:07:16,483 --> 00:07:17,450
While Bradley might not be
180
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:18,800
an amazing fisherman,
181
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360
no one doubts his skills in the outdoor kitchen.
182
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,000
Second course, Dolly Varden, a risotto verde,
183
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,370
porcinis and cherry tomatoes.
184
00:07:27,370 --> 00:07:29,310
Look at the color on that.
185
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:31,810
That is, that's heaven.
186
00:07:31,810 --> 00:07:34,650
A little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper.
187
00:07:34,650 --> 00:07:36,460
These bad boys are happy.
188
00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:38,150
I'm trying to get, you know,
189
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:40,020
a high temperature on the pan
190
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,110
so I can just get a solid sear.
191
00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:43,190
Here we go.
192
00:07:43,190 --> 00:07:45,450
You need to either take this off or do somethin'.
193
00:07:45,450 --> 00:07:47,611
I mean, you look good, but.
194
00:07:47,611 --> 00:07:48,660
Just stick it in there.
195
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:51,550
Bradley's style, it's unique.
196
00:07:51,550 --> 00:07:54,230
I would say he was hipster
197
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:57,630
before hipster was even like, a thing.
198
00:07:57,630 --> 00:08:01,460
The Dollies are looking amazing.
199
00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:06,040
I have porcinis and cherry tomatoes all sauteed up, risotto,
200
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,880
it looks great.
201
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,730
Take my salsa verde, cilantro and parsley,
202
00:08:10,730 --> 00:08:12,363
just gob it in there.
203
00:08:15,530 --> 00:08:20,530
And porcinis, little filets, little fish spatula,
204
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,510
ooh, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
205
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:27,310
All right, let's serve it, let's go.
206
00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:34,440
(laughing)
207
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,540
How's that Dolly Parton?
208
00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:38,800
Ooh, this one I kinda like.
209
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,942
I haven't even tasted it, but it looks good! (laughing)
210
00:08:41,942 --> 00:08:45,980
(cheerful acoustic guitar music)
211
00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:49,410
They're usually bait fish.
(laughing)
212
00:08:49,410 --> 00:08:50,940
Really good though, it's really good.
213
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:53,000
It's just like they just don't know
214
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,870
what a great dish they can make
215
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:56,650
with something that they catch,
216
00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:58,370
instead of throwing it back or, you know,
217
00:08:58,370 --> 00:09:01,268
they can seriously make something amazing.
218
00:09:01,268 --> 00:09:02,570
Porcinis are good.
219
00:09:02,570 --> 00:09:03,820
Fresh and local food.
220
00:09:03,820 --> 00:09:04,910
Fresh is the best.
221
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:06,263
Just kind of inhaled that.
222
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:10,320
It's on to course number three,
223
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920
a main course featuring several ingredients
224
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,453
harvested in Alaska.
225
00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:20,710
This right here is course number three!
226
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:22,133
What!
227
00:09:22,133 --> 00:09:25,590
We have a coconut barley to start off, curried goat,
228
00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:28,760
and then I have a rose hip and apple chutney on top of that.
229
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,390
So right now I'm just searin' my goat,
230
00:09:31,390 --> 00:09:34,400
makin' sure I get some nice crossed, you know,
231
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,670
I want to get that sexy, just, mm, darkness,
232
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:41,310
that caramelization, seared properly.
233
00:09:41,310 --> 00:09:43,390
Oh my God, that smells so good!
234
00:09:43,390 --> 00:09:44,971
I know, doesn't it?
235
00:09:44,971 --> 00:09:45,804
A little salt.
236
00:09:47,488 --> 00:09:48,803
A little pepper.
237
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:51,730
And of course, my favorite,
238
00:09:51,730 --> 00:09:53,683
a nob of butter, what do you know?
239
00:09:54,524 --> 00:09:55,800
Boom, how's that doin'?
240
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,360
It's good.
241
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Turn it off?
242
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,153
Yeah.
243
00:09:59,153 --> 00:10:04,080
This right here is just my little red wine sauce.
244
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760
This is my coconut barley.
245
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,930
It's lookin' amazing.
246
00:10:10,930 --> 00:10:12,590
It smells amazing.
247
00:10:12,590 --> 00:10:14,540
It's lookin' really good.
248
00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:17,030
Oh my gosh, man, I'm cutting into this,
249
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:20,130
and it is the perfect doneness, man,
250
00:10:20,130 --> 00:10:22,930
just mm, could not be happier.
251
00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:25,017
My endive, this is my veg.
252
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,400
This is my apple and rose hip chutney.
253
00:10:31,620 --> 00:10:34,303
I got some Honeycrisp apples, rose hips,
254
00:10:34,303 --> 00:10:36,540
a little bit of sugar, some red wine vinegar,
255
00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:38,800
a little bit of lemon zest, salt and pepper,
256
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,700
and love, man.
257
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:43,000
We're ready?
258
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,835
Yes, they are chef, yes they are.
259
00:10:44,835 --> 00:10:45,668
Okay, let's go.
260
00:10:45,668 --> 00:10:46,833
All right, here we go.
261
00:10:48,522 --> 00:10:49,781
Thank you.
262
00:10:49,781 --> 00:10:50,614
That is really good.
263
00:10:50,614 --> 00:10:51,447
Thank you.
264
00:10:51,447 --> 00:10:52,280
I love curry.
265
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,430
I would never have put coconut with barley.
266
00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:56,320
What did you say the pink stuff was?
267
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,153
Rose hip.
268
00:10:57,153 --> 00:11:00,109
It's awfully good! (laughing)
269
00:11:00,109 --> 00:11:02,666
When I tell people what we do, people are like,
270
00:11:02,666 --> 00:11:06,010
"Oh my God, that's so awesome," and like, and it is.
271
00:11:06,010 --> 00:11:09,150
When I saw them use their fork instead of their knife,
272
00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:12,370
I knew Bradley had hit the nail on the head.
273
00:11:12,370 --> 00:11:14,180
How is it, guys?
274
00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:15,208
It is delicious.
275
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:16,072
It's wonderful.
276
00:11:16,072 --> 00:11:16,905
Is it good?
277
00:11:16,905 --> 00:11:18,724
Bradley surprised me. (laughs)
278
00:11:18,724 --> 00:11:21,130
(smacks) It was wonderful.
279
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:23,010
And it's you know, just the community,
280
00:11:23,010 --> 00:11:25,450
friends and reciprocal love,
281
00:11:25,450 --> 00:11:27,960
and that's essentially what's on the plate,
282
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,190
and so thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
283
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:32,000
Thank you, this is wonderful.
284
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,720
Every year, salmon make their annual runs
285
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,930
up the rivers of Alaska to lay eggs and spawn.
286
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:42,120
Over 100 million salmon are harvested each year
287
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,870
by commercial and recreational anglers.
288
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,686
Here fishy, fishy.
289
00:11:46,686 --> 00:11:49,936
(calm bluegrass music)
290
00:11:56,460 --> 00:11:58,010
Oh, there we go.
291
00:11:58,010 --> 00:11:58,843
Hello.
292
00:11:59,990 --> 00:12:02,110
Come on up and show yourself.
293
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,105
It's just like pullin' in a Volkswagen.
294
00:12:05,105 --> 00:12:07,350
(laughing)
295
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:08,183
Oh-ho.
296
00:12:08,183 --> 00:12:09,910
I was gonna say that was awfully quick.
297
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:14,310
I'm sure he's got somethin' else planned for us here.
298
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:16,700
Havin' flashbacks, 15 years ago, huh?
299
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:17,703
Look at that.
300
00:12:17,703 --> 00:12:18,536
Absolutely.
301
00:12:18,536 --> 00:12:20,869
(splashing)
302
00:12:24,908 --> 00:12:26,092
Bada bing! (laughing)
303
00:12:26,092 --> 00:12:27,080
That looked good.
304
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,747
I like that.
305
00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:33,170
Nice hen.
306
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:34,460
I love seein' those healthy hens
307
00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:35,970
gettin' all the way up here.
308
00:12:35,970 --> 00:12:37,130
Gosh, they're strong!
309
00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:39,040
I guess when you got everything in the ocean chasin' you,
310
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,180
you're bound to be strong, huh?
311
00:12:40,180 --> 00:12:41,643
Only the strong survive.
312
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,920
You say Alaska to a sportsman, and it just conjures romance.
313
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:51,640
It conjures epic snowfalls and survival in the wilderness.
314
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,280
I mean, there's, people say, "Well, what's the next Alaska?"
315
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,570
There is no other Alaska, and there never will be.
316
00:12:56,570 --> 00:12:58,623
They don't make this stuff every day.
317
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,020
This is the place.
318
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:03,460
If you want to fish, or you want to hunt,
319
00:13:03,460 --> 00:13:05,616
you come to the state of Alaska,
320
00:13:05,616 --> 00:13:08,490
and you've come to the beginning.
321
00:13:08,490 --> 00:13:11,947
This is the alpha, it all starts here.
322
00:13:11,947 --> 00:13:14,070
(grunts) There we go, hey!
323
00:13:14,070 --> 00:13:15,000
Nice chrome fish.
324
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,230
A lot of fight in that beast.
325
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:17,850
And that's why you come to a place like this
326
00:13:17,850 --> 00:13:19,470
because you want a tiger by the tail
327
00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:20,680
on the end of that line.
328
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:23,270
You want the fight of your life, you want lots of action,
329
00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:25,910
and Alaska has all that and more.
330
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:27,290
What's goin' on, Matt?
331
00:13:27,290 --> 00:13:30,130
Are you winnin'?
(laughing)
332
00:13:30,130 --> 00:13:30,963
Hey, when he comes up,
333
00:13:30,963 --> 00:13:33,456
just ugly him with that sweater of yours, would you?
334
00:13:33,456 --> 00:13:35,067
(laughing)
335
00:13:35,067 --> 00:13:37,150
Just get him right in, but he's got other ideas.
336
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:40,730
Rainbow is not a big river like the Togiak,
337
00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:43,010
so when you're connected with salmon,
338
00:13:43,010 --> 00:13:45,830
it's a much more intimate experience.
339
00:13:45,830 --> 00:13:47,100
Oh-ho-ho, yeah, baby.
340
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:50,010
It's been 15 years since I've been back here
341
00:13:50,010 --> 00:13:52,510
to fish in Alaska, and it's just like I never left.
342
00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:55,330
This place is better now than it was 15 years ago,
343
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:57,740
and you get 'em up here, and these are wild fish,
344
00:13:57,740 --> 00:13:59,880
cold rivers, they're fighting current all the time.
345
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,240
They're ultra strong.
346
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,220
Alaska just has the diversity, has the volume,
347
00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:06,130
and when you've got places like Bristol Bay Lodge,
348
00:14:06,130 --> 00:14:08,240
where you've got these fly-out opportunities.
349
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,730
You can overnight out here in camps.
350
00:14:09,730 --> 00:14:10,950
You've got different species
351
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:12,490
that are hot in different rivers,
352
00:14:12,490 --> 00:14:14,840
so you get this smorgasbord of fishing experience
353
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,750
when you come out here
354
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:18,760
that just is not rivaled anywhere in the world.
355
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,140
We're fortunate at Bristol Bay Lodge
356
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:21,980
to have some of the best fishing
357
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:23,714
in North America, hands down.
358
00:14:23,714 --> 00:14:26,464
(motor whirring)
359
00:14:28,540 --> 00:14:30,320
Yeah, the weather in Alaska, it's the old saying,
360
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,720
just wait 10 minutes, it'll change.
361
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,260
In Alaska, that's really true.
362
00:14:33,260 --> 00:14:34,950
And day one, we arrive, and I mean,
363
00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:37,540
it's bluebird skies, beautiful sunshine.
364
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:38,680
It looks like, you know, something
365
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,630
that the chamber of commerce would've prescribed for us.
366
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:43,500
And of course, you know, we just soaked it up.
367
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,800
We know how rare it is this time of year
368
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,130
to have sun in Alaska,
369
00:14:47,130 --> 00:14:49,100
to be able to just enjoy the beauty of it
370
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:50,540
without putting rain gear on,
371
00:14:50,540 --> 00:14:52,330
and catch a lot of fish at the same time.
372
00:14:52,330 --> 00:14:54,590
So we just lived in the moment, caught a lot of fish,
373
00:14:54,590 --> 00:14:56,330
and lived a day we'll never forget.
374
00:14:56,330 --> 00:14:58,370
Ooh, that's fishy lookin' water right there.
375
00:14:58,370 --> 00:14:59,840
So this is the Agulopak River.
376
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,190
Some of the craziest, biggest bows
377
00:15:01,190 --> 00:15:03,380
that we have here at Bristol Bay Lodge.
378
00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:04,460
Not three minutes into it,
379
00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:06,330
we were already hooked up with a nice rainbow.
380
00:15:06,330 --> 00:15:09,010
You hook into one of these giant, leopard bows,
381
00:15:09,010 --> 00:15:11,310
these rainbows up here, that are big, beefy,
382
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:13,520
24 to 30-inch rainbows,
383
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,920
that's a different kind of fishing experience.
384
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,570
I mean, it's like it's a different species.
385
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:18,969
I can barely fit my hand around her.
386
00:15:18,969 --> 00:15:20,830
(humming Jaws theme)
387
00:15:20,830 --> 00:15:22,860
After a great morning of action,
388
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:25,900
the team takes a break to enjoy an age-old tradition
389
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:29,240
amongst fishermen, the shore lunch.
390
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Fresh salmon on the river, pretty hard to beat.
391
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,100
One of the great things about a fishing trip to me,
392
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,320
especially to the North Country,
393
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,390
whether it's Canada or it's Alaska
394
00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:40,410
is the cultural phenomenon of the shore lunch.
395
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:43,020
I mean, you catch a fish, you clean the fish,
396
00:15:43,020 --> 00:15:45,060
you eat that fish right then and there.
397
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:46,740
It's the freshest it'll ever be.
398
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:49,160
There's something about catching the fish that you're eating
399
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,940
that just connects the whole circle.
400
00:15:50,940 --> 00:15:52,770
Carter made this amazing shore lunch.
401
00:15:52,770 --> 00:15:55,870
It just doesn't taste like that in a restaurant.
402
00:15:55,870 --> 00:15:58,580
He gave us a vegetable medley,
403
00:15:58,580 --> 00:16:00,720
which I've never had from any guide,
404
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,130
sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes, and carrots,
405
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:08,630
purple, and red, and orange, and yellow,
406
00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:11,064
along with several types of onions.
407
00:16:11,064 --> 00:16:13,314
(sizzling)
408
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,930
Chef Carter at your service.
409
00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:19,730
So this is just a real thin beer batter,
410
00:16:19,730 --> 00:16:21,420
flour and cornstarch,
411
00:16:21,420 --> 00:16:24,280
and I'll bread it up with this Panko here.
412
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,100
I think both Chris and I declared it
413
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,030
the finest salmon we have had.
414
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:31,510
It was just fish in perfection.
415
00:16:31,510 --> 00:16:33,720
Unbelievably delicious.
416
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,920
Bon apetit, ooh yeah.
417
00:16:37,010 --> 00:16:40,220
Let's see, cold cut sandwiches, or this, mm?
418
00:16:40,220 --> 00:16:42,070
You're talking about a room with a view,
419
00:16:42,070 --> 00:16:43,500
and then, when you're done, you're gonna be
420
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:45,813
right back out there tryin' to catch some more.
421
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:52,993
Look at that, wow! (laughing)
422
00:16:54,290 --> 00:16:56,120
Carter, what a day, my man!
423
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,250
With all the great food
424
00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:59,250
available for the picking in Alaska,
425
00:16:59,250 --> 00:17:02,110
sometimes you need to find something to wash it down with.
426
00:17:02,110 --> 00:17:04,250
And for local guide Bob Cusack,
427
00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:06,860
he often drinks from an ancient soda spring
428
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:08,120
that was first shown to him
429
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:10,440
by a good friend and local native chief.
430
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,940
Haven't seen a damn thing yet,
431
00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:14,940
but you never know, just cruisin' along, watchin' the shore.
432
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:17,160
Something could pop out,
433
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,060
and all kinds of excitement, you know?
434
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,410
We're gonna go over to the soda springs,
435
00:17:21,410 --> 00:17:25,743
and get a nice, cold drink of effervescent water.
436
00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:29,240
The region was once home
437
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,700
to another local legend named Chief John Nielsen,
438
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:35,900
who knew these parts intimately and shared the location
439
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:38,810
of the secret soda spring with his close friends.
440
00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:41,350
The naturally carbonated water has trickled out
441
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:44,070
of these rocks for thousands of years.
442
00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:46,080
Soda water, comin' right out of the ground.
443
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,120
Been this way for, forever I think, you know.
444
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,393
Chief said it would cure cancer.
445
00:17:52,393 --> 00:17:53,678
Oh.
446
00:17:53,678 --> 00:17:54,511
He did.
447
00:17:54,511 --> 00:17:55,460
What'd he die from?
448
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:56,293
Cancer.
Oh.
449
00:17:56,293 --> 00:17:59,140
Maybe it caused it. (laughs)
450
00:17:59,140 --> 00:18:02,210
It's good, it's really good.
451
00:18:02,210 --> 00:18:03,600
Do you think that's the chief's mug?
452
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,550
Do you think he left this?
453
00:18:04,550 --> 00:18:06,262
Absolutely.
454
00:18:06,262 --> 00:18:07,095
Aw.
455
00:18:07,095 --> 00:18:08,660
He's the only guy that was around here.
456
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:10,630
I, can I take it off, do you care?
457
00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:13,100
Sure, he's my old buddy.
458
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:14,788
Let's have a little drink to him, huh?
459
00:18:14,788 --> 00:18:15,621
Yeah.
460
00:18:15,621 --> 00:18:16,454
Hold this, Tom.
461
00:18:16,454 --> 00:18:17,587
You wanna get some?
462
00:18:17,587 --> 00:18:18,420
You want to dip it out, or you want me to?
463
00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:20,370
No, you do it, and then we'll all drink,
464
00:18:20,370 --> 00:18:23,186
and the chief was gonna bring us a bear.
465
00:18:23,186 --> 00:18:25,640
I'll drink and be merry.
466
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,350
That's kinda cool.
467
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:28,320
To Johnny Nielsen.
468
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,713
Yeah, I like it.
469
00:18:31,013 --> 00:18:32,300
One of my best friends.
470
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:33,900
Johnny, my boy, bring us a bear.
471
00:18:37,787 --> 00:18:39,270
Tom, you better have some.
472
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:40,820
Chief will bring you good luck.
473
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:45,183
Oh, it's cool that we found that. (laughs)
474
00:18:46,690 --> 00:18:48,487
For good luck, all right?
475
00:18:48,487 --> 00:18:50,023
Gonna put it back.
476
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:55,780
Now we've changed our luck.
477
00:18:55,780 --> 00:18:57,554
I think he'd like that a lot too.
478
00:18:57,554 --> 00:18:58,554
Let's get hunting.
479
00:18:58,554 --> 00:18:59,887
Okay.
480
00:19:01,910 --> 00:19:04,230
Alaska's home to brown bear,
481
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:07,510
the largest land-based carnivore on Earth.
482
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:11,250
These beasts can weigh almost 700 kilograms,
483
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,810
and the primary fuel for these furry giants
484
00:19:13,810 --> 00:19:16,110
are salmon and blueberries,
485
00:19:16,110 --> 00:19:19,320
which means any time you see one of these food sources,
486
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,130
you need to be alert.
487
00:19:21,130 --> 00:19:22,240
We're a little bit late, aren't we?
488
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,570
Salmon are pretty much done running,
489
00:19:23,570 --> 00:19:25,190
so now they're gonna start movin' into the berries,
490
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:27,830
and they're gonna be tougher to find, aren't they?
491
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:29,458
Yeah, we'll get some
492
00:19:29,458 --> 00:19:31,073
on the river pretty soon though.
493
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,000
This is quite a bumper crop of blueberries, boy.
494
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:37,850
Judging from what we're seeing scat-wise,
495
00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:39,663
they're feeding big-time on berries.
496
00:19:40,860 --> 00:19:43,160
The blueberries are probably keeping 'em
497
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,927
out of the river right now.
498
00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:48,680
One giant blueberry patch as far as you can see.
499
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,150
It's all blueberries out there.
500
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:51,850
They could be just about anywhere.
501
00:19:52,780 --> 00:19:53,720
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brad,
502
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,380
there's a frickin' bear over here.
503
00:19:55,380 --> 00:19:56,213
Shut up.
504
00:19:56,213 --> 00:19:58,072
I'm not even lying, right over there.
505
00:19:58,072 --> 00:20:00,989
(tense rock music)
506
00:20:05,057 --> 00:20:10,057
Just kidding!
(laughing)
507
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,580
It's not really that great of a joke
508
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:15,540
to do that to somebody when you're in the middle
509
00:20:15,540 --> 00:20:17,610
of a berry patch, and I'm really kinda,
510
00:20:17,610 --> 00:20:20,276
in the back of my mind, like, thinking about bears.
511
00:20:20,276 --> 00:20:22,233
(laughs) Amy, you got jokes.
512
00:20:23,109 --> 00:20:24,140
I gotta say, I like the fact
513
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:25,840
that they're feeding away from us.
514
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,513
We're less than a half a mile from our camp.
515
00:20:31,610 --> 00:20:34,640
I guess we might put that food up away,
516
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,533
a little ways away from camp tonight.
517
00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:42,560
And I like the fact that there's 600 yards
518
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,363
between us and her and those cubs.
519
00:20:48,550 --> 00:20:51,800
Alaska is home to a bumper crop of blueberries,
520
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,910
and these outdoorsmen can't resist them
521
00:20:53,910 --> 00:20:55,680
any more than the bears can.
522
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,670
As they gorge themselves on blueberries in the field,
523
00:20:58,670 --> 00:21:01,170
and saving some for breakfast pancakes.
524
00:21:01,170 --> 00:21:02,003
Let's pick us some
525
00:21:02,003 --> 00:21:03,930
for some blueberry pancakes in the morning.
526
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:05,710
And have flapjacks in the morning?
527
00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:06,543
Yup.
528
00:21:07,690 --> 00:21:08,940
We picked a bunch of 'em.
529
00:21:10,009 --> 00:21:11,780
Think we got enough?
530
00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:14,523
I think so, I think we got enough.
531
00:21:15,890 --> 00:21:19,133
Let's roll.
(engine running)
532
00:21:20,660 --> 00:21:23,633
And we continued down to base camp.
533
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:26,870
We made it.
534
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:28,480
Made it back safely
535
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,440
just in time for the weather to set in permanently.
536
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,950
So we had, the plan was to hunt out of camp,
537
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:41,860
but due to the weather, we decided to stay in camp
538
00:21:41,860 --> 00:21:45,220
and stay warm and dry for the day
539
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:48,070
and enjoy our blueberry pancakes.
540
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:51,573
This is my Alaskan secret blueberry pancake recipe.
541
00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:55,090
They were delicious.
542
00:21:58,978 --> 00:22:00,290
Yes.
543
00:22:00,290 --> 00:22:02,020
When summer comes to an end,
544
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:05,160
and Alaska prepares for its annual winter chill,
545
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,660
finding fresh berries becomes a challenging task
546
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:10,910
for bears and humans alike.
547
00:22:10,910 --> 00:22:12,600
It's the end of the foraging season.
548
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,370
There's only so many possibilities,
549
00:22:15,370 --> 00:22:17,803
so I'm a little leery on what I'll find.
550
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,740
Hey Brad, these are blueberries.
551
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:21,600
Blueberry bushes.
552
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,540
Blueberry bushes, yeah.
553
00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:23,510
See any blueberries?
554
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:25,114
Actually, I see one right there.
555
00:22:25,114 --> 00:22:25,960
(laughing)
556
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,000
Wait, wait, there's two blueberries.
557
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,490
I'll save that one for you.
(laughing)
558
00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:33,760
Oh dude, raspberries!
559
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,830
Yes, yes, you were right.
560
00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:36,663
Nice.
561
00:22:36,663 --> 00:22:38,810
Kodiak's weather's completely unpredictable
562
00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:40,550
and changes from day to day,
563
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:44,170
and at this time of year, just frost coming in,
564
00:22:44,170 --> 00:22:45,430
everything dying off,
565
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:48,120
it gets to be a very desolate environment.
566
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:51,820
This is like the last existing raspberry bush
567
00:22:51,820 --> 00:22:52,653
in Kodiak right now.
568
00:22:52,653 --> 00:22:54,657
This is the last bush in Kodiak,
569
00:22:54,657 --> 00:22:57,460
and we found it. (laughing)
570
00:22:57,460 --> 00:22:59,120
My mind's kinda like, goin' right now
571
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,920
because I didn't expect raspberries at all.
572
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,870
So now I'm like, hm, what should I do with these bad boys?
573
00:23:03,870 --> 00:23:05,690
I feel like I almost got all of 'em.
574
00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:06,789
Is that enough for you?
575
00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:07,921
Do you think you have a tetch?
576
00:23:07,921 --> 00:23:10,021
Totally, brah, totally.
577
00:23:10,021 --> 00:23:12,830
I'm happy, I mean, if you're happy, I'm happy, girl.
578
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:14,260
Not all Alaska's bounties
579
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:16,410
are as easy to pick as blueberries.
580
00:23:16,410 --> 00:23:18,290
If you want to catch wild prawns,
581
00:23:18,290 --> 00:23:21,200
you'll need a boat, but fortunately,
582
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,930
Bradley Ewing has a good friend
583
00:23:22,930 --> 00:23:24,400
who is a commercial fisherman,
584
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,300
and he will help Bradley harvest the ocean's bounty.
585
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:29,310
Today, I'm about to go meet up with my buddy Adrian,
586
00:23:29,310 --> 00:23:30,677
go shrimpin'.
587
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,220
The only problem is he's kinda out in the Gulf of Alaska,
588
00:23:34,220 --> 00:23:37,186
so I have to take a float plane out to visit him.
589
00:23:37,186 --> 00:23:39,990
Womp womp.
(engine running)
590
00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:42,540
Personally I don't even like to fly,
591
00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:44,150
and I'm definitely not very keen on
592
00:23:44,150 --> 00:23:47,010
these little bush flights, but it's what I gotta do.
593
00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:48,963
No risk, no reward.
594
00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:53,970
Permission to come aboard, sir!
595
00:23:53,970 --> 00:23:55,823
You bet, come on over, man!
596
00:23:57,201 --> 00:23:58,978
Good to see you, man.
597
00:23:58,978 --> 00:24:00,250
Good to see you, dude.
598
00:24:00,250 --> 00:24:02,190
Oh, these are heavier than they look.
599
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:03,023
I know!
600
00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:06,110
Personally, never done pot fishing.
601
00:24:06,110 --> 00:24:08,000
They get heavy about the third string.
602
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,040
It's really hard work.
603
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,340
Oh yeah.
604
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:14,300
Oh, check this bad boy out!
605
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:17,075
Octopus unfortunately tear the shrimp up.
606
00:24:17,075 --> 00:24:18,440
Look at that baby, ooh.
607
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,240
Wanted to make an Alaska bouillabaisse or somethin',
608
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,792
and this is gonna be the perfect ingredient for that.
609
00:24:24,792 --> 00:24:26,133
And I shall provide!
610
00:24:27,470 --> 00:24:29,570
The surprise of finding an octopus
611
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:30,850
means a change in the menu.
612
00:24:30,850 --> 00:24:33,520
I don't think that our clients realize
613
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,660
what we go through to get our product for them.
614
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:39,407
Oh yeah, this is it, buddy!
615
00:24:40,490 --> 00:24:41,323
Yeah!
616
00:24:42,820 --> 00:24:45,090
When that last pot came up, and it was packed,
617
00:24:45,090 --> 00:24:45,923
I didn't know what to do.
618
00:24:45,923 --> 00:24:48,054
I was so excited.
619
00:24:48,054 --> 00:24:50,440
Every part of these shrimp is seriously
620
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,710
like just nibbling on a piece of the ocean.
621
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:54,543
So sweet!
622
00:24:54,543 --> 00:24:56,240
I mean, this is what it's all about, you know,
623
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,720
pretty much farm-to-table,
624
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,590
but there's not a farm in sight.
625
00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:02,063
This is like Poseidon-to-table.
626
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:07,510
In case you're wondering how octopus tastes,
627
00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:11,963
the guests gave the meal four stars, or eight tentacles.
628
00:25:13,410 --> 00:25:14,810
I can hear the planes.
629
00:25:14,810 --> 00:25:16,350
I can see the planes.
630
00:25:16,350 --> 00:25:18,900
It's go time, our guests are arriving.
631
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,317
(upbeat whistling music)
632
00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:29,090
Guests have arrived, time to rock and roll, man.
633
00:25:29,090 --> 00:25:32,300
I'm starting the preparation for my octopus carpaccio.
634
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:35,023
I'm just cutting it into super-thin slices.
635
00:25:37,810 --> 00:25:39,870
Octopus is super, usually chewy.
636
00:25:39,870 --> 00:25:43,810
This stuff really, really, really, just tender.
637
00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:46,080
I made a little relish out of Asian pears,
638
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,490
Fresnos, and some red onions.
639
00:25:47,490 --> 00:25:50,860
It's got a little sweet flavor that I think is gonna add
640
00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:53,633
perfect, little tints of love to that octopus dish.
641
00:25:55,470 --> 00:25:59,760
These are the raspberries that Amy and I foraged.
642
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,460
And this is just kind of another little sweet component,
643
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:05,610
and then the color is gorgeous.
644
00:26:05,610 --> 00:26:06,510
Ooh, I like that.
645
00:26:06,510 --> 00:26:09,200
That's Jackson Pollock-y, I like that, that's nice.
646
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,053
Boom, we are ready to rock and roll.
647
00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:14,560
Thank you.
You're welcome.
648
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,980
Nice, thanks.
649
00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:18,250
I've had octopus one time before,
650
00:26:18,250 --> 00:26:20,870
but it was cooked wrong because it was really tough.
651
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:23,600
Yeah, this isn't tough, it's very easy to chew.
652
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,030
I've never had octopus before.
653
00:26:25,030 --> 00:26:27,383
It's sweet but salty at the same time.
654
00:26:27,383 --> 00:26:28,390
It's really good.
655
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:29,660
The food is a hit,
656
00:26:29,660 --> 00:26:31,780
and success comes in many forms.
657
00:26:31,780 --> 00:26:34,460
Providing new experiences to the local community
658
00:26:34,460 --> 00:26:37,440
and teaching them the value of their local food resources
659
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,020
is just as gratifying as preparing a delicious meal.
660
00:26:41,020 --> 00:26:41,853
What'd you think?
661
00:26:41,853 --> 00:26:42,686
It was amazing.
662
00:26:42,686 --> 00:26:46,590
This is so challenging, but the payoff is worth it.
663
00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:50,320
I mean, look at my back yard here.
664
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,570
It feeds my soul.
665
00:26:51,570 --> 00:26:52,620
Wilderness like this,
666
00:26:52,620 --> 00:26:56,340
and to be able to eat something this fancy. (laughs)
667
00:26:56,340 --> 00:26:59,170
I finished first again.
(laughing)
668
00:26:59,170 --> 00:27:02,220
Bush pilots, they're out and about in Alaska,
669
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:04,050
so they've seen it all,
670
00:27:04,050 --> 00:27:06,850
and I think I gave 'em something that they haven't seen,
671
00:27:06,850 --> 00:27:09,430
and that still has something to do with, you know,
672
00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:12,094
their life, the landscape of Alaska.
673
00:27:12,094 --> 00:27:14,927
(calm rock music)
674
00:27:17,183 --> 00:27:19,933
(engine running)
