Just found your channel and enjoying your videos. I'm a former professional cook, and still love to spend a day or two making a new recipe (or revisiting a tried and trusted one). Been awhile since I've made a whole fish, so this was a lovely inspiration. Miss AB so much, and I think you're really honoring him here.
Thank you for the kind words friend. Glad you found me :) Very cool to have a real cook follow along. Please share any tips you see I could use along the way.
i started watching this series but started somewhere random like episode 40. I came to the beginning and have noticed how much youve improved just from simple things like how much pressure you use to remove the shell off the garlic. haha you literally crushed them in episode 4. and now you use just enough pressure to remove the shell. It's the little things!
Hey man, been absolutely loving your vids, new loyal subscriber now. Just made the Pork loin recipe following you this friday to great success. Pro tip for cooking whole fish, but never remove the fins. The reason is that you can pull out the fins along with the fin bones that are near impossible to find else wise until you eat one. It makes filleting the fish much more manageable.
@@mitchmai You are very welcome! My first time i made a whole branzino I felt so fantastic and proud. It was beautiful I ate the whole thing. I had a whole fried snapper in the bahamas oh my gosh it was amazing. Thanks for the nice reminder.
Great job! Perfect choice of fish, tasty, beautiful, sustainable. I prefer the tail uncut personally (it also becomes super crunchy like a chip). Waist of time trying to remove the thyme leaves from the stems when cooked in a sauce more than 10 minutes : leave whole, then scrape with the back of a spoon and leaves will come out (and the stems will have given additional flavor during the cooking process). I miss my bay leaf. Season the fish INSIDE the cavity more than the skin unless you score it beforehand. Make it shine with a drizzle of olive oil before cooking and another before serving. But, it looked boss as is! 🎉
I just found your channel. I liked when you talked about Anthony and showed one episode you watched and did the whole flashback on the episode, I think it was the pears recipe one that I watched. Anywhoo, really enjoyed the cooking part too! Are you making more recipes from his book? 😊
Welcome! Glad you found me. The plan is to do every freaking recipe in the book :) As for the flash backs, I like them as well. I paused them for fear of copyright issues, along with reducing overall editing time.
