0:03 - 0:05I'm in Phuket in Southern Thailand
-
0:05 - 0:11and Phuket is known for seven-colored, warm
water, Indian Ocean lobsters -
0:11 - 0:13This is one of the biggest lobsters I've
seen -
0:13 - 0:19We're gonna have the full seven-colored
lobster sashimi experience today -
0:20 - 0:21Wow
-
0:21 - 0:23We're gonna go to the source to get the
lobster -
0:23 - 0:26We're gonna see the entire preparation
from start to finish -
0:26 - 0:31and I'm gonna share an entire lobster
sashimi with you in this video -
0:46 - 0:48We're getting onto a boat here at the pier
-
0:48 - 0:52and we're just gonna go to some of the...
I think it's only a ten minute boat ride -
0:52 - 0:55Very close to the shore, where they raise
the lobster -
0:55 - 0:57where they keep the lobsters in the sea
-
0:58 - 1:00[Guy on boat] In, in, in
Thank you -
1:34 - 1:38Literally a five minute boat ride,
you're starting to see some of the platforms -
1:38 - 1:44This is the seven-colored lobster territory,
the famous Phuket seven-colored lobsters -
1:44 - 1:49This is a big bay area, the water is calm.
We are surrounded by other islands and inlets -
1:49 - 1:57The water remains calm, it's great for
fishing, it's great for producing sea food -
1:57 - 2:01And over in the distance you'll see a lot
of yachts, a lot of boats as well -
2:01 - 2:04because it's a safe haven of calm
water here -
2:17 - 2:22And we have arrived, bunch of different
wooden platforms all connected, little rampways -
2:22 - 2:27floating nets, and a whole kind of
visitor center -
2:29 - 2:33here's a little bit of information about the
spiny seven-colored lobster -
2:33 - 2:37Which is also known as a painted
spiny lobster, it is... -
2:38 - 2:42seven different colors, found throughout the
warm waters of the Pacific and Indian ocean -
2:43 - 2:47That's what we came here for, that's what
they specialize in -
2:47 - 2:51And I know at this facility, at this place
they also raise a lot of the lobsters -
2:51 - 2:55Then distribute it to the hotels throughout
Phuket as well -
2:55 - 2:58So we are coming directly to the source
to eat lobster -
2:58 - 3:00Didn't realize that this place was so
developed, so organized -
3:00 - 3:04And raise such a huge variety of different
fish -
3:04 - 3:08It's a straight aquarium of fish their
raising here -
3:15 - 3:18I think for the rest of the people on the
boat, on this tour -
3:18 - 3:20It's kind of a shopping, a trip to the supermarket
-
3:20 - 3:23Their choosing fish or sea food that
they want -
3:23 - 3:27which they're gonna take back with them
to the restaurant to cook right at the restaurant -
3:27 - 3:32But for us, Gohban, who is the owner of
the restaurant and owner of this facility -
3:32 - 3:36He's arranged for a chef to come out to
the platform -
3:36 - 3:44to prepare the full sashimi lobster, seven-
colored Phuket lobster sashimi experience -
3:44 - 3:46on the platform within the sea
-
3:51 - 3:54So before we get the lobster, he's gonna
show me some of the fish -
3:54 - 3:56And I think they have some sharks as well
-
3:56 - 3:59just be a little bit carefuler where
you're walking -
4:09 - 4:15It's a type of black-ear ฉลาม, a black-ear
shark or a black-tipped shark -
4:15 - 4:19Oh yeah, you can see the fins have a
black tip on it -
4:24 - 4:25Wow
-
4:33 - 4:34The shark?
[Person beside him] Yeah -
4:39 - 4:43[Ah, okay]
So we take stock from small fish that grow up -
4:43 - 4:47[Ah, so all the fish are from local fisherman]
Yes -
4:47 - 4:51[And then you take care of them and]
Yes and we are like bank for fish -
4:51 - 4:53[Ah, okay, okay]
-
4:56 - 4:57Is that an eel?
-
5:06 - 5:08He was just saying that the color always
changes -
5:08 - 5:11And they want to show me a really big fish
on the other side, on the opposite side -
5:29 - 5:33It's like an entire fish community,
aquatic center, aquarium -
5:34 - 5:38From here, we're gonna go get the lobster
which is in one of the front nets -
5:38 - 5:42that they have reserved, saved for us.
And it's gonna be a giant lobster -
5:47 - 5:53Giant, it's a huge 2 kilo, yeah, about 2 kilos
that is a massive lobster -
5:53 - 5:54Okay, they're gonna pull it out
-
6:16 - 6:21It's beautiful the seven colors, the rainbow
of colors. It's as big as my torso -
6:31 - 6:36He spreads it out, that is the size of your
torso, almost -
6:36 - 6:48(speaking Thai)
-
6:59 - 7:01Everybody say hello to Chef
-
7:01 - 7:05And he is preparing all of his ingredients,
the knives and -
7:05 - 7:09something that you'll notice is the champagne
cups with a Sprite here -
7:09 - 7:11But we're not drinking any wine,
we're not drinking any champagne -
7:39 - 7:44Okay, so the first menu is lobster blood
and the sprite turns blue, almost neon color -
7:44 - 7:46lobster blood cocktail
-
7:50 - 7:51Cheers
-
8:00 - 8:01Wow
-
8:02 - 8:08It actually tastes just like sprite but
with a little bit of lobster juice aroma to it -
8:08 - 8:10Wow, that's fresh
-
9:16 - 9:24That meat goes into a bucket of ice which
is gonna make the meat more crisp, tighten it up -
9:24 - 9:27And that sits in an ice bath real fast
-
9:27 - 9:34But wow this is just a straight-up private
sushi bar floating in a bay in Phuket -
10:21 - 10:25The lobster is almost transparent, you can
almost see through it -
10:25 - 10:27you can almost smell the sweetness
-
10:42 - 10:46Chef did a beautiful decoration with the lobster head,
with the body, with some vegatables -
10:46 - 10:52All on a platter of ice and now he's just
slicing up and placing the sashimi -
10:52 - 10:59placing all of that fresh sliced lobster back
onto the shell, back onto the head, -
10:59 - 11:01back onto that platter of ice,
that ice bed -
11:41 - 11:44Now that is what you call a center piece
-
11:44 - 11:50Chef has completed a work of art with the
head, with the body, with all the decorations -
11:50 - 11:54The wasabi, there's some fish eggs, some
roe on the top, wow -
11:54 - 11:56That is impressive
-
11:56 - 12:02That is world-class, seven-color
Phucket lobster sashimi -
12:19 - 12:24Look at this, it is a straight like
trophy cabinet, centerpiece -
12:25 - 12:29That's pretty heavy too
Wow -
12:29 - 12:32That's unbelievable, that is impressive
-
12:34 - 12:36What a lobster
-
12:36 - 12:38Now you actually have to stand up to eat
this -
12:38 - 12:40There's wasabi, there's lime, you can
garnish with whatever -
12:40 - 12:42But first, you have to taste the pure lobster
-
12:42 - 12:44I actually have to lift up the antenna
-
12:48 - 12:53Look at the stringyness of it, try it first
with nothing on it before adding -
12:53 - 12:56any soy sauce, before adding any wasabi
-
13:01 - 13:02Wow
-
13:07 - 13:12It is so pure
Oh, that texture and that crunch -
13:13 - 13:15And that sweetness
Wow that's fresh -
13:15 - 13:21That is amazing and just that texture is
impressive, the crispness of it -
13:21 - 13:24And just the strandiness, it's
strandy -
13:24 - 13:31Wow, but I do, I think it would be awesome
with a little bit of soy sauce and wasabi in there -
13:31 - 13:35Or maybe even lime juice
We'll go wasabi first -
13:38 - 13:42Wasabi there and then this is soy sauce
Should I just mix it? Okay -
13:46 - 13:49I'm just gonna go ahead and do the wasabi
soy sauce mixture -
13:49 - 13:51That's the way I like it
-
13:51 - 13:56Extra wasabi
Okay, there we go -
13:58 - 13:59Just a little dip in there
-
14:00 - 14:04If you look at these slices of lobster in the
sunlight you can see that they are see-through,
transparent -
14:07 - 14:08Oh, yeah
Wow -
14:09 - 14:18It's good on it's own but that enhances it
With that wasabi, with that salty punch of soy sauce -
14:18 - 14:25Like the sweetness just comes out of that
and the crispness, it's unbelievable -
14:25 - 14:31like the freshness, the pureness, the
quality is just on the next level -
14:32 - 14:42(speaking in Thai)
-
14:43 - 14:46You know what I was just thinking this
tastes like a scallop -
14:46 - 14:50Like it almost tastes like scallop when the
raw lobster, like a really sweet scallop -
14:50 - 14:55That's almost the same texture, almost the
same sweetness -
15:00 - 15:02You might be good with just some lime
juice on it -
15:06 - 15:10Lime juice is good, but the wasabi soy
sauce combination is even better -
15:22 - 15:27Oh, yeah, that's up the nose
lobster wasabi up the nose -
15:27 - 15:32Wow, that is awesome, and
that is a lot of meat, a lot of lobster -
15:32 - 15:35That head, those tentacles are just
crossing the table -
15:36 - 15:43We haven't even eaten half of the sashimi
2 kilos of a lobster sashimi, that's a lot
of sashimi, a lot of lobster meat -
15:43 - 15:47In order to get some diversity and to try
a few different variations -
15:48 - 15:52What we're gonna do is we're gonna take
the lobster, the meat, and especially the head -
15:52 - 15:57back to the restaurant, back to the shore and
they're gonna cook us a dish with the lobster meat -
15:57 - 16:04and then also cook us up a soup dish with
the lobster head so that's the next plan of action -
16:04 - 16:08But what an unbelievable lobster sashimi start
-
16:08 - 16:12Oh man, it is so unbelievably good
Okay we're going back -
16:42 - 16:45We're back at Phuket Lobster House, this
is the restaurant -
16:45 - 16:51It's half restaurant, half amusement/
entertainment food park, half or -
16:51 - 16:57a third botanical garden, just have this
huge structure just with trees, with plants, -
16:57 - 17:05with water flowing, with birds, and then just
lobsters all over the place and tanks all over the place -
17:05 - 17:07It's definitely quite a unique restaurant
-
17:44 - 17:49I think they had just quickly deep fried
the shell but just tossed that, wok-tossed that with -
17:49 - 17:57garlic, with green peppers, and with chilies
and then kind of a soy sauce mixture solution -
17:57 - 18:01just really quickly wok-tossed that in a hot,
hot fire -
18:01 - 18:04and then for the head, they chopped up the
head into bit size little pieces, into nuggets -
18:04 - 18:09got all that head butter out of it, chopped
up the tentacles into bit-size pieces as well -
18:09 - 18:12And that's going to go into a miso soup that
he is making -
18:55 - 18:58And that completes two more dishes with
the lobster, I'm excited to try both of them -
19:05 - 19:09And we got some rice to eat with this,
and that's awesome being able to eat -
19:09 - 19:14the sashimi on the platform, on the ocean
with that cool breeze and then coming back -
19:14 - 19:20to the restaurant to eat totally different
dishes, miso soup is Japanese -
19:20 - 19:27but then this is Thai style with the same
lobster and two more massive dishes -
19:27 - 19:33In Thai it's called (Thai) so it's just tossed
with green pepper, with chilies, with a ton of garlic -
19:33 - 19:37Oh wow, this looks incredible those same
nuggets of lobster -
19:40 - 19:42Oh wow
-
19:46 - 19:51Oh that's insane
Oh man the texture totally changes -
19:52 - 19:58but you still feel that sweet muscular
texture of that lobster, oh that's so good -
19:58 - 20:04It's not too overpowering but just really garlicy,
the pepper is just kind of there in the background -
20:04 - 20:07of your mouth, overpowering that sweetness of
the lobster -
20:07 - 20:10Something I didn't know before is that
there is so many different textures -
20:10 - 20:14within the lobster tail, some parts are more
stringy, some parts are more tender, -
20:14 - 20:18some parts are more muscular like shrimp,
there's such a variety of different textures -
20:18 - 20:22in that same tail and this is all just the
tail meat -
20:24 - 20:29Oh wow, that stir-fried version is just
awesome and the garlickyness -
20:31 - 20:34This will be extremely good with rice, too
-
20:41 - 20:45oh with rice in and that glaze in those
chilis and the sweet lobster -
20:46 - 20:47That's so awesomely good
-
20:47 - 20:54And then for the miso soup, a huge bowl
of lobster head and lobster tentacles -
20:55 - 20:56How's that miso soup being? Good?
-
20:59 - 21:00Oh yeah
-
21:02 - 21:07That's just a wonderful, mellow, salty
umami from the miso soup -
21:07 - 21:11And then I want to try, especially, some of
that tamale, some of the head butter juice -
21:11 - 21:14which actually has been so it's not
runny anymore -
21:19 - 21:23It's like the texture of egg yolk, a little
bit starchy but silky at the same time -
21:24 - 21:27There's still so much meat in here as
well from the head, from all the different -
21:27 - 21:30little sections, this is the part that
takes a while to each, that you can just -
21:30 - 21:34kind of suck on, that you can juice, that
you can suck all that meat out of the -
21:34 - 21:36different crevices
Actually, before I go to the kitchen I -
21:36 - 21:41think they really kind of loosened up
the meat and cracked the shells -
21:41 - 21:45to make it easier to get to it and
cutting it into bit size pieces too -
21:45 - 21:46Oh yeah
-
21:54 - 21:59Oh that is firm, I guess that's from
the base of the tentacle -
21:59 - 22:02Wow that is muscular
-
22:10 - 22:13So many different parts of the lobster, so
many different textures -
22:27 - 22:34The stir-fried lobster is insane
Okay I love the sashimi -
22:34 - 22:39and that's the pureness, that's the
ultimate test of freshness and it is extraordinary -
22:39 - 22:47But this, I don't know, I mean lobster is
good raw but when it's wok-tossed like this -
22:47 - 22:52It almost brings out the sweetness even
more, I'm not going to say which -
22:52 - 22:56version is better because this was the
best case senario -
22:56 - 23:00being able to have sashimi then a
stir-fried dish and the soup, all three dishes -
23:00 - 23:06but I'm gonna say do not eat it all as
sashimi, try it stir-fried like this as well -
23:06 - 23:09It's so good, so incredibly good
-
23:31 - 23:38Back here on the pier, stomach full
of lobster overdose, 2 kilo lobster -
23:38 - 23:43But that was a fantastic, just ultimate
lobster experience from the entire sashimi -
23:43 - 23:51to, yeah again, that stir-fried lobster was
sensational top of the quality lobster -
23:51 - 23:55seven-color, local Phuket lobster,
that does not come cheap though -
23:55 - 24:01It is 4,000 for the big one that we got,
it is 4,000 baht per kilo so we had 2 kilos -
24:01 - 24:07that's 8,000 baht, that was not cheap at
all, it is expensive but you do pay a price -
24:07 - 24:11for quality, you can arrange to go to
the lobster farm where we went -
24:11 - 24:15you just take a boat there and you can do
a tour, you can see all the fish like we did -
24:15 - 24:20and you can even eat a lobster if you arrange
or you can go to the restaurant where they -
24:20 - 24:24have lobster, he said typical lobster are
about 800-900 up to 1 kilo -
24:24 - 24:27So that's gonna wrap up this video,
