Sam Choy's in the Kitchen: Fishing with the Choy Boys in Kona!
Sam Jr. takes us out on his boat, Siesta, with deckhand Topher leading the way bright and early. We kicked off the morning heading miles off the Kona coast with some deep-sea trolling, hoping to hook something massive. John gets a quick crash course in the angler chair from Topher, and it's harder than it looks! After some time with no bites, we decided to switch gears and try our luck at bottom fishing. Persistence paid off when Topher and John reeled in a beautiful weke ula!
Back on land, the Choy boys and their friends were ready to feast. Earlier in the week, they had caught fresh ahi, aku, and kanpachi. Sam whipped up a traditional island-style poke with tender chunks of ahi, rich in flavor and perfect with a bowl of rice. They then made a kimchi aku poke, grilled kanpachi paired with cold soba noodles for a refreshing and satisfying dish, and finally, the fried weke ula.
It was a long day full of laughs, flavor, and good fun with the Choy 'ohana. Whether on the boat or in the kitchen, there's nothing better than sharing good times and good food with the people you love.
