He’ah stay some Smoke Tako Diner E’s friend Andy M. Kalihi Tako Hunter Diner “Saimin Kaukau” E’s Tako PokeĬut the Tako up, add some onions, tomatoes, chili pepper (Pizza Hut), Shoyu, Sesame oil and green onions & mix ‘um up! BAM!!!! Tako Poke, Eddie Style!!! Some of the Tako I caught on one dive, Lomi Lomi with some Whiskey (Chivas Regal) & Hawaiian Salt, cook ‘um with coconut milk, then!… Thanks Pomai for letting me try be one guest blogger! It was the first time for her for eat one To’au, ’cause she usually eat fried Bangus or Tilapia LOL! But now I stay in trouble, ’cause now she expect me for catch fish when I go diving for Tako.

My wife was really happy and enjoyed eating the fish, prepared local style. Then put da’ buggah’ in da’ wok and steam for about 30 minutes…ĭen’ when it was pau, I poured hot oil over da’ fish, with some more green onions.ĭiner “Saimin Kaukau” E’s Steamed “small ‘kine borrowed” To’au (’cause nevah get Tako LOL!) So I went steam ’um for her that night, using Sam Choy’s cook book, as you can see a little of the book in the picture…Īfter I went clean ’um, I went rub da’ To’au with Hawaiian salt and cut up some ginger and green onions, then did a shoyu and sugar mix (eyeball style, no measure). So I took ’um home and told my wife I went catch’um…hehehehehe! I never like tell her I found ’um stuck in the rocks! Would you? Hehehehe! However, the eye was still clear, so it was OK for eat. Well, when I was looking for Tako that one day, I saw one big To’au (Blacktail Snapper) - maybe a pound or pound & a half - on a hook, stuck on the bottom of the rocks that looked like a fisherman’s lost catch… and my score! The water was pretty cold that morning and the fish was still fresh, but dead. But you gotta’ either dive deep or dive under the rocks for poke fish, which, I get hard time stay down ’cause I stay too buoyant.Ĭleaned and salted To’au (Blacktail Snapper) I like to catch Tako ’cause I can just stand up when I get tired (shallow water LOL!). My wife is filipino, and she no like Tako, always telling me to catch fish instead. One of those days was pretty junk when we went looking for Tako. I like to go Tako diving, and I usually go with my buddy Andy M. Some places are gone, some still stay, and get some new place to find and try eat! But enough about me… my HEAD GETTING BIG!Īnyway, I like tell you folks about a fishing tale that happened last summer.

Born and raised in Kalihi Valley on Kalihi Street, Kalihi Uka Elem’, Dole Intermediate, and of course, a Farrington Gov’. “Saimin Kaukau” one spin on Simon Cowell, ’cause I stay hosh (harsh) wit’ my SPAM Musubi ratings. But first I guess you guys like know little bit about me, “Diner E”, a.k.a.
