Huge Coconut Crab!! ???? (UNLIKE Any Other Crab on Earth!!) South Pacific Islands
???????? The Ultimate Fiji Food Tour:
???? T-shirts:
???? Ghost Chili:
LAU ISLANDS, FIJI - We’re in the remote Lau Islands group in Fiji, only accessible by boat, and today we’re going to Vuaqava Island, where they are known for their coconut crabs!
First of all, thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: and to Captain Cook Cruises ( for taking us on this once in a lifetime Fiji cruise.
We docked near the uninhabited Vuaqava Island, Lau Islands, Fiji, which is known for its natural beauty, incredible seas, and also for being an island full of coconut crabs! Coconut crabs are definitely unique, and they are a huge delicacy in Fiji and for the local population on the Lau Islands. They all mentioned that they coconut crabs are so tasty and so delicious that they don’t need any extra seasoning or cooking - all you have to do is boil them for about 10 - 15 minutes and eat. The crabs eat mostly a diet of coconut, so they have a sweet coconut taste to them, and the fat in the stomach (similar to the tomalley on other crabs), is like a natural coconut crab pudding with a complexity of flavor. It was an amazing experience to be with local Fijians on a remote island eating coconut crab.
Next up on this Fijian crab tour we visited another island - Totoya Island, Lau Islands, Fiji where we had the honor to cook and eat another Fijian food delicacy of land crabs, cooked in coconut milk. The crabs were boiled then fully deshelled, then mixed with onions and chiles, and lots of coconut milk, and re-filled back into their shells. They were boiled again until the coconut milk thickened into a creamy crab sauce. You eat them with a fresh squeeze of local lime and chili, and it’s something truly magically delicious.
What a day of Fijian food and the freshest crabs from the source!

Here’s all the places we visited on this ultimate Fijian food tour:
1. Nausori Market, Nausori, Fiji (
We first walked around the main Nausori Market for a taste of all the local ingredients. We stopped to eat at Tee Totoka for their famous tea buns. And Finally met with Sera, who owns the greatest seafood stall at the market selling Kovu Kaikoso - Sea Clams in Coconut Milk!
2. Elvis Kana Place, Nausori, Fiji (
One of the most delicious of all Fijian foods is rourou with mutton, raro leaves with mutton, and it was an honor to see the full cooking process before eating it.
3. Namuka Village, Fiji - Continuing our tour, we visited a village just outside Nausori that’s famous for making vakalolo - a cassava coconut dessert.
4: Mokani Village, Fiji - Something else you have to try when you visit Fiji is called bila - fermented cassava bread, and no one does it better than here.
5: The Bar Belle, Suva, Fiji (
The food tour isn’t over, we drove on to Suva, the largest city in Fiji to eat at The Bar Belle, a laid back restaurant serving local Fijian seafood.
6: Tasty BBQ, Nausori, Fiji - This Fijian food tour wouldn’t be complete with some Fijian street food, and I’m talking about Fijian BBQ that includes lamb chops and sausage!

Big thank you to #visitTrinidad and Visit Tobago ( for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen! Guide to the things and food in this video:
Castara, Tobago - We’re beginning this food tour today on the beach with a fish and breadfruit roast. This is something I truly love, being connected with nature, cooking over fire, and seeing the entire process before eating. The breadfruits were some of the best I’ve ever had and the fish was marinated and grilled. The fish broth was also spectacular. What a way to begin.
Backyard Dirt Oven - Next up we met up with Ms Moore & Wendell for a backyard dirt oven experience. Dirt oven baking is something that’s traditional in Tobago and they are keeping the tradition alive. I especially loved the garlic bread and pumpkin bread with cheese.
Miss Trim's Kitchen ( - It there’s one dish that’s the most famous and a dish you can’t leave Tobago without eating, it’s crab and dumplings. The crab is curried and the dumplings are hearty and doughy. The combination is delicious!

Fiji Hot Rock Oven!! ???? Unseen FIJIAN FOOD + Remote Pacific Island Life!
???????? The Ultimate Fiji Food Tour:

???? Ghost Chili:
LAU ISLANDS, FIJI - We’re in extremely remote Fiji, in the Lau group of islands, also some of the most beautiful and unvisited islands in Fiji. We had the special opportunity to go into a number of island Fijian villages to learn about the culture and especially cook and eat the local food.
Thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: and to Captain Cook Cruises ( for taking us on this once in a lifetime Fiji cruise to the remote Lau Islands - only accessible by boat.
1. Vanua Balavu Island, Lau Islands, Fiji
We arrived to our first island called Vanua Balavu. I love how Fiji is very traditional and when you arrive to a village they still have a protocol to respect the traditional land owners and ask the permission of the village Chief. To do so we brought kava with us to present to the Chief and once accepted we were able to be on the island and start filming. They prepared a dish called Vakasakera, moringa leaves with coconut milk, barracuda fish, and some local shellfish similar to abalone. After an amazing meal, we toured and swam around the Bay of Islands - spectacular!
2. Fulaga Island, Lau Islands, Fiji
We continued our cruise in Fiji to the Fulaga islands, sometimes regarded as the most beautiful islands in all of Fiji - maybe in the South Pacific. The island is famous for their local sea cockles, which looked quite a lot like huge blood cockles. They harvested them right out of the ocean then opened them up and marinated them with onions and lime juice and coconut milk. Freshest and most delicious cockles ever.
3. Kabara Island, Lau Islands, Fiji
Finally to continue this remote Fijian food tour we visited Kabara island where they prepared, along with Captain Cook Cruises, a Fijian lovo for 100 people! A lovo is the Fijian version of an underground hot rock oven which is common throughout Melanesia and Polynesia and in other cultures around the world. It was a fantastic process and the food was smoky and tender.

Vanuatu - Making Laplap (food)
This is the cooking process for making Laplap (food). These people have no electricity, so they cook over an open fire (hot rocks). This was at one of the better off villages. It felt like we droped into 1840. Access to the island was a small plane and a grass runway.

Indian Food in Fiji!! Unseen INDIAN FIJIAN FOOD in the Pacific Islands! ????????
???????? The Ultimate Fiji Food Tour:
???? T-shirts:
???? Ghost Chili:
SUVA, FIJI - Today we’re learning about Indians in Fiji, many of whom have been here for generations. Most arrived as indentured servants working on sugar plantations, but they brought with them their culture, customs and of course their food. Today we’re going on an Indian Fijian food tour - we’ll see how it’s similar to Indian food in Indian, and yet has its own distinct taste to Fiji!
A huge thank you to my friend Andhy Blake, he’s a TV host and Fijian producer who loves to eat and who arranged our entire trip to Fiji. Check him out
1. Zamzam Restaurant, Suva, Fiji (
To begin this Indian food tour in Fiji we’re starting at one of the most popular restaurants in Suva, Zamzam. They serve over 40 different dishes a day, with a mix of Indian Fijian, even Chinese, and halal dishes. The food is outstanding and their rotis are insanely soft. Eating at Zamzam is a must when you’re in Suva, and will satisfy all of your curry needs.
2. Babasiga Halal Bites, Nausori, Fiji
We’re continuing this tour in Nausori, where Andhy is from and to Babasiga Halal Bites, that’s legendary across Fiji for their lamb bone curry. It’s famous for a reason, it’s so tasty with just the right amount of masala.
3. Home Cooked duck masala
To finish off this Indian Fijian food tour we headed over to a friend of Andhy whose mother makes the greatest duck masala is all of Fiji! She used 2 fresh ducks, washed in turmeric, and stewed in no less than three of her own hand roasted masalas. The result was truly magical.
It was another delicious day in Fiji, learning a lot about the history of Indians and their amazing food in Fiji.

Emergency food in the bush, Ambrym Island, Vanuatu
My guide Taso, showed me, how to survive in the bush, when you have nothing to eat. These are a palm tree, cut them, and eat inside. It's quite nice & crunchy :)
Fish for dinner in Vanuatu
Fishing for dinner. These small fish maybe small but they are the ones that are more easily accessible for ni Vanuatu who don't have boats to get out past the reefs, where the big fish live. These small fish contribute to the essential protein intake for many ni Vanuatu.
