  • 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.
