Thanks for sharing, John. Over the years, your videos ring true with humility, frugality and down home good sense. You are awesome, Dude. And an inspiration for those of us going through adversity, which we all do at one time or another. That's why we're all just common folk when you get right down to it. Thank you. Love to the kids, Martha and especially Lupita.
I love this video. I like the fact that you didn't get all high tech and it feels like you are in my kitchen showing me how to make this meal. Awesome video brother.
Love watching all your videos! Great that we have this thing called the internet now LOL I grew up a country girl and always will be so I enjoy and gain a ton of great info from you. Please don't ever stop making your videos. Spring is right around the corner. Can't wait!
I didn’t understand why I click on this dudes vids. But after about 200 vids I realized it’s because he is just a regular dude doing relatable things and entertaining at the same time. You can also learn a little something at the same time.
Thanks, Great Vid. I've been making that for 50 years but never knew about the sugar and lemon. Used to catch white bass on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Clean and then into a coffee can of boiling water and a bay leaf over a campfire. Drain the water off and right into the melted butter to gobble up. Yummy Thanks also for the tip about Ricky Wallace. Got one of the fleshing knives from him. Going to make gar sheath Lord willing this spring. Dave
Thank you! I looked all over for this... I made it a long time ago, wrote it down... gave it to a friend. I could not remember how much of what to use... Now I can make some again. Ma 2
You are a wonderful father and husband........and real down to earth person. Is there anything that you can't do? I could teach you how to quilt. Love your shows, Jo Ann
I'm a LOBSTER LOVER and I just made this using cod fish. Not to be a wet blanket but honestly this doesnt taste like lobster. It's good mind you. I made it with schezuan spicy fragrant rice. They complimented each other. The lightness of the fish dipped in lemon butter and the spiciness of the rice was yummy. But...Naw. Doing some research I've read other fish you can use for this recipe so I'm going to try it again using either *Monkfish. *Cod * Halibut. *Bass *Haddock (Although never heard of Monkfish) Btw I do enjoy your recipes. Thank you.
This is very easy to make and that is the good thing about it. If you are having someone over for dinner and want to do a lobster dish without the expense, this is a great way to do a nice upscale dinner for two.
I live in Virginia, and I'm waiting on Spring. Can't wait to go fishing and try this recipe. Just found your Channel. And I like what I see. Thanks so much take care and God bless
That's what I like about you. Down to earth, A county boy can survive! We do something like that but use bluegill. once its boiled we chill it with ice and then dip each piece in shrimp sauce. Gottta put your safety glasses on to keep from poking your eye out with the fork. God Bless you brother. Sure do enjoy your videos.
I can tell ya...it’s the sugar to sweeten it and the lemon makes it pucker and causes it to become a sweet lobsterish Nugget! Hahahaha IDK! I’m teasing. I just get such a tickle out of your explanations I had to be a “dudetteologist” Just once! It’s precisely your attitude and way of thinking that keeps bringing me back. I appreciate your honesty, your “git ‘er done” and make no apologies for it attitude! Wish more folks thought like you John! TFS...definitely will try...God Bless ~Lisa
Never heard of "Sauger" until today, looked it up, sounds good. ;) Thanx for the video, love fishing, love Lobster... We will have to try your recipe someday!! Thanx again!!
As a person who is deathly allergic to seafood which developed in my 20s this may be a godsend! I loved seafood so much and ate it all the time.. then all of a sudden It nearly killed me. I have missed it so much but I also love life! hahaha I'm trying this as soon as I can get to our fishery to buy some white fish. :-) Thank You!
krista, same with my mom. After years of eating everything, she suddenly became horribly ill to seafood of any kind. Even tiny bits of oyster sauce or fish broth. She underwent sublingual drops with an allergist and overcame this allergy after about 2 years. She had to take weekly exposures but finally built up a tolerance for it. She never acquired a taste for seafood to that great extent but was able to eat pretty much everything after that. Some hope out there if you're willing to go through the trouble.
Thanks, I appreciate your enthused attitude. Please consider providing a simple list of ingredients & methods. For example: One Guy's Poor Man's Lobster Cod or Halibut 1/2 Lemon 1/4 cup salt 1 cup sugar lemon pepper, melted butter 1. Fill a large pot about 1/2 to 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil. 2. Add in half a lemon, cut into 2 pieces and the sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to come back to a boil for a couple minutes. 3. Cut the fish into about lobster like chunks and add to the boiling water. Do not stir! 4. When the fish begin bobbing and float to the top, strain them out and set on a paper towel or wire rack. 5. Sprinkle with lemon, lemon pepper and/or dill seed (optional). Dip in butter- serve warm. Bye
Hi! I did use lemon juice from a bottle - it works too, but isnt as good to put over it after it is cooked. I put a bit in the butter i dipped it in...yummo! It works, but a real lemon is always better. Good viddy, it is making me want to try it on other kinds of fish.
Yea, your video is back! Got to watch two today! I saw this within two minutes of your post. I hit the like button and then wrote a comment. That's when it all went blank. I hope my like registered. Thank you for videos on your channels?
Instant LIKE! I was looking for a different way to cook fish, as I have an unlimited assortment to choose from where I live, Gonna try this recipe today. Want me to send you some frozen halibut steaks? Greetings from Alaska.
come to think of it.. I firm up my catfish by soaking it in 1 part lemon juice to 2 parts water with a pinch of salt overnight. that may help your chunks stop flaking apart. I would try it but I don't have time to get the fish
Thanks, John! I am not a big fish eater but lobster is my all-time favorite food. As you can imagine , I don't get to eat it much. I am going to try this with some swai. And if it is good, we'll be eating fish a whole lot more! :)
I've seen this done a few ways on YT and I noticed you didn't add salt to your boiling water, I think it would be better without the salt so I'm going to try it the way you did it.
cowboy said you should not remove from pot till it has floated to top you starting diggin it out when one piece came to top.each piece should float to top before it is removed. still a fun vid
Just an FYI: The acid in the lemon coagulates the protein in the fish and firms it up. Truth be told, vinegar will do the same thing but it won't taste as good as the lemon does. In many Middle Eastern dishes, salt and lemon is used in place of vinegar because it tastes a lot better.
PML is amazing stuff brother but you have to try it with catfish! A big old catfish, type of catfish one would say not to eat, do it like this and one would eat their words with the fish.
John, How much fish? Pound wise. I have seen this before on another youtube video but i lost it. I think i am going to get some fish tomorrow and try this.
Since food is also tasted by the eyes, how about a very gentle fall of mild paprika? Not enough to influence the taste but just enough to give it those pinkishs-orangy speckels?
Does it have to be fresh fish or can I use frozen? We don't have anyplace to go fishing here so we have to buy our fish & when the frozen Swai or Tilapia goes on sale we stock up.
Thanks for sharing, John. Over the years, your videos ring true with humility, frugality and down home good sense. You are awesome, Dude.

Dudoligist of grubology I love that
I tried this at thanksgiving and shocked the room! It is a must try for poor mans lobster. From NC
Good cooking I love your apron.
Thank you! I looked all over for this... I made it a long time ago, wrote it down... gave it to a friend. I could not remember how much of what to use... Now I can make some again. Ma 2
tried this today with Pollock and it was so good.my wife is diabetic so I used splenda instead of sugar. so thank you for your time.
Poison test that's where I flop around on the floor so everybody runs out of the room and I can eat all lol❤️💯
Thank you so much. Loved this video ;) love from uk x
You are a wonderful father and husband........and real down to earth person. Is there anything that you can't do? I could teach you how to quilt. Love your shows, Jo Ann

so happy to see another video on this channel...thank you
I suggest you try freshwater drum next time. The density and texture of the meat can stand up to the boiling process.
J. We love you crazy...just normal living...BUTTER? Never enough, just like BACON!
That's what I like about you. Down to earth, A county boy can survive!
We do something like that but use bluegill. once its boiled we chill it with ice and then dip each piece in shrimp sauce.
Gottta put your safety glasses on to keep from poking your eye out with the fork.
God Bless you brother. Sure do enjoy your videos.
I've got a bunch of frozen bluegill! Gotta try your method
My mom used to do something similar.... But she used 2 big bottles of 7UP.......... was great!!!!
Thanks J, looks great. We love fish, so this another angle, git it.
I can tell ya...it’s the sugar to sweeten it and the lemon makes it pucker and causes it to become a sweet lobsterish Nugget! Hahahaha IDK! I’m teasing.

Thanks for sharing, I will be trying out this receipt real soon!
Nice, thanks for the easy video on how to do this, I'm going to try this with a fathead catfish I caught👍
How did it turn out? I'm gonna try channel cat today.

Cool. I surf fish in Surfside TX and fill my ice chest full of whiting, now I'm gonna make some poor man's lobster.
not a fan of lobster..but if Howie likes lobster I will try this! Love you Bro!
That looks so delicious.
Works great with pike too!!
Sounds great, I wish my husband would even try to cook something.
Edie Murray , I wish my wife would cook something.
LOL You may be sorry if she did
Monkfish is poor mans lobster....it’s so yummy! Back in the day lobster was considered poor mans lobster 🦞
Hey I tried this with gar and asian carp, it works great as does drum all trash fish around here but its is great.
I love drum..........here in TN.
Extracted? Lost me there. Just kidding....looks good. Thanks John. Saw this years ago...but never tried it.
Hey just found you around a week ago love the videos I'm going to try this on crappie
I would like to see how that turned out. I would bet a disaster, crappie are hard to keep together frying them.
Thanks man great idea!! Looks good!!
Aw man that looks good Mr. John, I'm gonna have to get my butt out on the water soon so I can try that!
Instant LIKE! I was looking for a different way to cook fish, as I have an unlimited assortment to choose from where I live, Gonna try this recipe today. Want me to send you some frozen halibut steaks? Greetings from Alaska.
Thank you great idea going to cook this tomorrow
come to think of it.. I firm up my catfish by soaking it in 1 part lemon juice to 2 parts water with a pinch of salt overnight. that may help your chunks stop flaking apart. I would try it but I don't have time to get the fish
That looks real tasty. I will have to try that sometime. Have a blessed day John and Happy New Year!
Thanks, John! I am not a big fish eater but lobster is my all-time favorite food. As you can imagine , I don't get to eat it much. I am going to try this with some swai. And if it is good, we'll be eating fish a whole lot more! :)
Was it good
Well, thank you! I will be trying this!
I've seen this done a few ways on YT and I noticed you didn't add salt to your boiling water, I think it would be better without the salt so I'm going to try it the way you did it.
I'm going to try this
Dude !!! LOVE IT !!!!
That looks tasty!
My favorite way to eat gar. Boil it in a crab boil seasoning and tastes like lobster
I "reverse engineered" this recipe. I used lobster and boiled as directed.
I ended up with boiled Cod!! genius.
Hahaha
Great job
thanks brother! well explained. im on the Ohio river as well.. Charlestown In. Where abouts you at?
we do this with halabutt have not tried it in sugar water before might have to give it a try
Ak Fred
cowboy said you should not remove from pot till it has floated to top you starting diggin it out when one piece came to top.each piece should float to top before it is removed. still a fun vid
i noticed that also..
I'm going to try this.
Terrific! Thank you!
Good stuff bro...
Just an FYI: The acid in the lemon coagulates the protein in the fish and firms it up. Truth be told, vinegar will do the same thing but it won't taste as good as the lemon does. In many Middle Eastern dishes, salt and lemon is used in place of vinegar because it tastes a lot better.

I seen this to and it is true they do taste like lobster I love it thank you for posting this because it is true
looks great !!
Nice!! And Kosher too!!!
Awesome man
Loved it thanks man
EELPOUT IS THE POORMAN'S LOBSTER !!! FOUND IN THE LAKES OF UPPER MINNESOTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Food ..... I want some
John, How much fish? Pound wise. I have seen this before on another youtube video but i lost it. I think i am going to get some fish tomorrow and try this.
Since food is also tasted by the eyes, how about a very gentle fall of mild paprika? Not enough to influence the taste but just enough to give it those pinkishs-orangy speckels?
Sauger are just like walleye. Northern work good for this
shotgun red does same way but adds a lil garlic to butter.
Only take out the ones that float to the top. Saw a few versions and they all say the same.👌
Yeah man, love me some melted butter! Any food you dip in melted butter, damn
Does it have to be fresh fish or can I use frozen?
We don't have anyplace to go fishing here so we have to buy our fish & when the frozen Swai or Tilapia goes on sale we stock up.
Frozen should work fine Rusty, just thaw is slowly so it stays as firm as possible.........................J
Thank you, jnull.
I’m hungry.
Tried the recipe tonight using fresh haddock, ended up with sweet haddock but it definitely wasn't lobster.
you just haddockookit didnt you
Mmmm garlic butter was there enough for every one else that was just enough for one person I think
