Born and raised in Alaska. My favorite food is fish. Thank you for making a very easy to follow video on cooking fish. Many over cook or make cooking complicated.
I don’t understand people picking this apart- it’s one man’s way to cook fish. (Good method, by the way.) If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Think you can do better? Make your own video. 😳
It's always great to see how others prepare fish. Here along the upper texas coast I'm spent much of my life fishing the bay and river systems for salt and fresh water fish. The only way I really like fish is to take the filets and dredge them in cornmeal seasoned with salt and pepper. The deep fat fryer is filled with peanut oil as it has a higher smoking point than most other oils so it will quickly seal the fish from absorbing any fats. As soon as the fish floats up to the top it's done and ready to be eaten. In honesty I'm not a fan of using flour as a fish coating. It always seems to be oily while the cornmeal doesn't. If I'm feeling rushed and want a quick meal then I take the seasoned fish with no breading and saute it in butter until done. Works nice on cod.
That's pretty much exactly how I pan fry cod or haddock fillets. I can only buy them from a fishmonger or a fish counter in a supermarket, so one really needs to check those use by dates. The fillets I get are usually thinner than shown here, so I allow just 1 minute 30 seconds per side. The most difficult thing about pan frying fillets is to get them to the just right level of doneness as the chef in this video shows very well. My favourite seasoning to sprinkle over the fillets before flouring them is a Polish seasoning called Kucharek. Just a light dusting is all.
Great, fantastic, simple, straight forward, nice, wonderful ! ! The bottom line remains that it's cod, the king of fish, the prince of taste, the majestic knight of the aquatic ! Now, due to this video I am forced to go out and get some cod for diner tonight. I'm hungry, really hungry and cod is the answer !
Thank you, that's how we have shore lunches while on canoe trips here in Ontario for bass, pickerel and northern pike. For lake trout we cook them in aluminum foil in the embers of a reduced camp fire - with dried onion soup mix and butter. I've dined at some nice restaurants but it doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you for a super video. No music, just straight to the point. I cook mine very similar, but coat with cornmeal. My wife can’t eat flour, and I hate gluten free flour. I also season with just a tiny sprinkle of “Slap yo Mama.” Thanks again. Tomorrow morning you can bet I’ll be thawing some Cod, for the evening meal.
I cooked up some Mahi the other night. Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Bay seasoning. 2 half pound fillets about 5/8 of an inch thick. Used some Canola oil, butter and a bit more garlic in the pan and these babies came out so great. Didn't flour them but will try that next time.
I like to baste the fish with the hot butter and oil in the pan with a spoon as I'm cooking it....for me it creates the very best final look and taste. p.s I once ate pan fried cod with vegetables in France and watched the chef cook it in a wok. It was exquisite and I have never been able to work out how he cooked it, tossing the cod and vegetables in the wok and not have the cod break apart...the end result was potatoes, vegetables and cod all cooked perfectly with absolutely no loss of shape in the cod.
Right on Chef Garrin 🤩It's the Canadian way to cook Fish EH 🤗 Just basic Ingredients I am on the west coast B C (Right now we have A 2 year Pink Salmon run Sept 2023) On the west coast we like Fresh Poached Salmon or Fresh Caught Trout. the best is a Salmon Steak's or Trout Fillet's cooked on 🥰🤗Open Camp fire lots O butter/fresh dill/Lemon & fried in a cast iron Pan on An open campfire 🔥(Salt/pepper to taste) With Yukon Gold Potato's and Boiled Chilliwack Corn 🌽Just❤🙏IT
Chef Garrin. This fish was done to perfection, yum yum! Canola oil is made from genetically modified rapeseed plants. Before it was GMO, the oil was used as a low-temperature lubricant. But after the First World War, demand for rapeseed oil fell because the oil was cheaper and did not burn at high temperatures. So the Canadian government funded a university in Canada to genetically modify rapeseed so that it didn't taste too bitter. Canada called it Canola. However, canola oil is heavily processed with hexane and other chemicals and high temperature to make it palatable and have a long shelf life. Since canola oil is made from seeds, it is inflammatory, not to mention the chemicals used to turn it into cooking oil, such as hexane, etc. Since you are a chef, you should fry with clarified butter. It's good up to 480 F (250 C). Good cooking.
We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple ru-vid.comUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.
Just made this and wow lol, you are right when it's fresh, the fish is the star of the show. Salt pepper and flour that's all you need. Haddock is my favorite white fish.
Thank you. I'm glad you tried it... I love Haddock too but it's abundant fresh daily where I live. We were on vacation in Newfoundland and a relative fishes cod daily, brought some on the plane in ice packs and cooked it ASAP... the cod there has no parasites and sooooo much better than whatvis caught in my area.

Corn oil works well, also. I would prefer cooking fish over the coals using Pam for the grill. Those plates work well. 7 minutes per side is a winner. Just a bit of helpful input from an old Yankee.
These look good. Easy to do. I agree. I usually like to add salt, pepper and a little paprika to the flower if I’m using flower. If not using flower, I season right on the fish and then put a little lemon at the end. Great work. Your channel is moving along good too. I recently started mine hoping to reach the numbers as well. Thanks for this beautiful fish cooking.
@@mehere337 😂😂thank you for this morning laugh. I’m not as famous as Cher 😊. I’m trying to build my base and help others too. My coworkers have been pushing me for 2 years to start a channel. I finally did. I do enjoy cooking and do look at others as well to learn and compare. Thank you 😊
@@chefgarrin I definitely intend to. As a matter of fact, I remember my Mother cooking Plaice in England the same way. when I was a child (a very long time ago ha!). Thanks for reminding me.
@Sunshine OMG you have a DOODLE!!!!, Best dogs ever, had one (Skooner) 14 years... had him 14 amazing years he passed a few years ago but I babysit and borrow a few Doodles now. Too busy to do the puppy thing again and it's rare to get a rescue doodle in my area.
@@chefgarrin You are so right about DOODLES being the best dog ever. I am sorry you lost yours but 14 years is a good life for the breed. I had mine for 13.5 years and miss her every day. Can't do it again. Take care and happy cooking!!
Great, Simple way to pan-seared fillets of white fish, comes with a very cleared info, easy to follow video. This’s gonna be helpful to many home cooks. (Including me😊) Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I wish you the best of luck on career/life. (Subscribed)
@chefgarrin I've been using this method of yours, 😊and it's turned out perfectly, pretty & yummy pieces of fish every time. Thanks again for sharing. I'm grateful for. Good health to you🙂 Have a lovely weekend.
Nice and simple - classic actually. But using canola?? Canola is a low grade oil with a poor flavour. How about sunflower oil with the butter? Or even light olive oil? Nice video. 👏👏
Mistakes. Do NOT use steel slotted turner and also a steel knife to cook the fish in a Non-Stick coated frying pan. The metal can tear into the Teflon non-stick coating and it will get in the fish. Do NOT place a very hot frying pan directly on your tiled kitchen worktop next to your stove. The extreme heat can crack the tiled surface.
Update on the fish! It was truly delicious! The skin was beautifully crispy and the fish was perfectly cooked! My husband is not a fish person but liked the look of it so much that he now wants to try! 😃
Excellent video. I usually do a pretty good job cooking fish but I like your method of letting the fish' temperature cook it the rest of the way, like how you would with a steak. I like cooking for my friends, and they love fish so this should be a hit. Curious though, why canola instead of a healthier oil like olive oil?
Yesterday I was thinking about what I wanted for lunch (I eat usually breakfast late and dinner early) So I wanted something spicy, comforting, and wanted to use some Coho Salmon I had. So I thought: Curry, pasta, salmon. Searched for recipes and came up with nothing. So, I just cooked some pasta, whipped up a curry and sauteed the salmon in olive oil, finishing with butter and fresh lemon. Wow, even though I messed up the curry by mixing up the curry with masala, using way too much masala v. curry, it still was awesome (added plain Greek yoghurt to cut the heat, as I had already added Cyanne pepper. Fish was so tasty, and the curry was surprisingly awesome. Undercooked v. overcooked fish, undercooked every time. But fresh fish in Los Angeles? Nope, had worms crawling out of cod which really is gross, but cooking kills them, and even if undercooked, your guy will kill them. Better than eating standard raised beef and way better than a chicken who's each breast weighs a pound or more...freaky.
@@chefgarrin I would use avocado oil. It has a high smoke point and is not heavy tasting at all. And of course add butter once fish is flipped and heat lowered just a bit!
Nice!, just a little tip I learned after your done cooking it either frying , baking or broiling, add a drizzle of white vermouth. It really makes a nice addition. Cheers 😊
I like cooking mine in dill pickle juice in stead of lemon juice, with a few pickle slices on the fish. And when I flip it I cover it with cinnamon and cook it in.
@@joedennehy386 I can vouch for the first two advantages being correct, and I like to believe that the third is too!! Thanks for your comment, Joe. All good wishes and kindest regards. Peter A :) :) :)
I prep it same as do, except I dip it in flour mixture, then into beaten eggs, again back in flour, and finally a deep fryer. Both techniques are delicious.
