KADAVU ISLAND, FIJI – On our final day cruise to remote Fiji, we stopped for the day at Kadavu Island. It just happened to be just turning to sea urchin season and so we were treated to one of the greatest Fijian foods ever – fresh sea urchins smoked over dry coconut branches!

Thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: https://www.instagram.com/andhy_blake/ and to Captain Cook Cruises (https://www.captaincookcruisesfiji.com/) for taking us on this once in a lifetime Fiji cruise to the remote Lau Islands – only accessible by boat.

During the cruise we happened to meet up with Vince and Myra, and Vince is originally from Kadavu Island. He kindly invited us over to his relatives home, where we immediately went fishing for fresh sea urchins. After gathering a few dozen we headed back to the beach where they gathered dry coconut tree branches, placed the sea urchins on top of them, and then and then burned the entire pile. It was something definitely unique! The smoke just barely entered the sea urchins, giving them a fragrance but not cooking them. They were so pure, so sweet, so incredibly tasty with some Fiji limes and chilies.

Aunty also made a specialty called qiliqili with made from cassava balls and coconut boiled in lemon leaves.

Another day of amazing local Fijian food!

    Mark – Truly very entertaining, and information makes me want to start cooking again. I have been watching your channel for several years along with Trevor James side by side. I feel that because you have your family there with you every step of the way this sets you apart from all other Professional Eaters. I really enjoy the fact that you don’t just focus on one type of food or food that originates from a specific region of the world. Man you travel everywhere and eat everything and will try anything for the sake of the experience “I LOVE THAT”. I really love the fact that you travel with your family even when Micah was a BABY, I have 2 children and it was hard to take even a small trip. I can’t imagine what it’s like to travel from one country to another with a baby in tow. Yes – I have a T-shirt and a Zip-Up Hoodie and I do wear them proudly. Have a Great Day!!!!

    You do wonderful food shows. I would love to travel to asia mainly for the food, but I am not sure which country to visit first. Do you have any good suggestions? Thank you very much for your time

    Hey Mark! I was born in Suva, spend my adolescent years in Rio de Janeiro and live in Berlin. Managed to maintain contact to my friends in Fiji and Brazil. 11 years Fiji, 8 Brazil and almost 10 Germany. I'm a super foodie. Fiji is incredible! The asian influence, the native tradition and European colonialism, such a mix. I'm super into the travel-foodie vibe and super proud of you making friends in Fiji. Come visit Berlin, I'll give you an awesome tour. But my heart is in Fiji! Fresh produce, and beautiful cultural inspirations. Thank you so much Mr. Wiens for shining a light to this beautiful country. I love your vibe and I love Fiji. Kai Viti Brothers.
