Spearfishing in Hawaii.
-
I'm like a fish out of water.
-
Thank god, I've got free diving champ Kimi for a guide.
-
She makes it look so easy.
-
Damn, she's good.
-
Despite my fetching camouflage, I can't hit a thing.
-
You were that close!
-
That close.
-
Don't get frustrated.
-
Oh, man.
-
Like, really. You were almost there.
-
That was a good fish, too.
-
How do you keep your breath under such control?
-
Because you're holding on to the seabed.
-
You have the spear in the other.
-
And the current is pushing you back and forth the entire time.
-
Yeah.
-
It's a lot of work.
-
Right. Here we go.
-
That was awesome, though.
-
Right, hold my breath.
-
Line up my sights.
-
This is just like shooting fish in a barrel.
-
A very big Pacific-Ocean-sized barrel.
-
Bingo.
-
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!
-
Awesome!
-
A beauty.
-
I held onto the rock, bent down the corner and just waited for him to pop up.
-
Oh, that was awesome.
-
Whoo.
-
I don't want to come out.
-
- I know. - Amazing.
-
Honestly.
-
What a teacher.
-
It makes you want to live under water.
-
It's that exciting.
-
You don't want to come up.
-
I want to go back again.
-
This is an enenui.
-
- An enenui? - Yes.
-
And did you grow up eating fish like this?
-
- My dad would go spear fishing to put food on the table, and this is one of the main fish that he fed us. - Wow, cool.
-
How cool. Beautiful.
-
So you literally eat this raw?
-
We always would eat this fish raw.
-
This fish eats a lot of seaweed, and so it tastes different all on different parts of the island depending on what type of seaweed is growing there.
-
Thank you.
-
Wow.
-
Can you taste that?
-
That's delicious.
-
And it does taste a little bit seaweedy, a little bit salty.
-
A lot of times we add seaweed for flavor.
-
Yeah.
-
With this fish, it's already pre-seasoned.
-
Thank you.
-
Because of its diet.
-
I mean, it was like the perfect trip to any fishmonger you'll ever go to your entire life.
-
I didn't think it would taste that good, and my god, without any dressing, without any chili or any soy, and so that's got me thinking now.
-
You know, do I make this feast predominantly around the fish locally, or is it meat right now?
-
Honestly, I'm spoiled for choice.
