      you will also need to create your own primordial aquatic life that will eventually evolve into fish. this is simple: put some hydrothermal vents in the saltwater, along with some nucleotides, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and minerals, and strike the saltwater with some lightning. then wait.

  • @hyp0crates
    @hyp0crates 6 років тому +487

    As a Brit who works in a chippy (fish and chip shop), i have to say those chips are far too dark and thin !! Starting them off in room temp oil allows more oil to be absorbed, which in turn makes the chips a tad too greasy
    To get the perfect chippy chips, use room temperature potatoes cut about 1.5-2cm wide. If you prefer traditional chips like you describe (that is, crisp and firm) , cook at 150-160 for around 6 minutes/until they float. If you prefer them to be crispy on the outside but soft in the middle it is best to fry them twice: firstly at 130 for 6 minutes, then take them out and rest before refrying at 150-160 for around 4 minutes or until soft in the middle.
    Otherwise, love the vid! The fish turned out really great, just needs to be doused in salt and vinegar

    Hey babish, in the spirit of Ramadan! Have you ever heard of Atayif? It is a middle eastern pastry sweet usually filled with cheese or nuts! I recommend you search it up and try making it! I also recommend if you do make it, to make the one where it’s fully closed and u see the cheese or nuts inside till you take a bite. It’s really good and a good dessert.
    There are different ways to spell it in English- Atayif, atayef, Qatayef, katayef

      It was also first considered a "trash" fish that no one wanted, the first company to purchase Patagonian toothfish used them for fish sticks and such as filler meat instead of at the time more expensive fish thinking people wouldn't notice. Patagonian toothfish are now over fished, along with all the fish used in this episode.

    My best seller every fridays, fish and chips with a side of coleslaw. I like using cod tails, it's the most economical of quality and quantity for us. I like adding lemon zest and cumin to my dredge, also good for fish tacos. But I like going a little thicker on the batter with a little more lavender so its fluffier.
    My best salmon is pan fried in a super hot wok then a sauce made of ginger, scallions, sugar, light soy, and dark soy over top...like a teriyaki.

    Brit here: if you want your chips to not be greasy you really need to start with hot oil. The beer batter is always a good call. Lastly if you want those chips to pop then get some ghee in the oil. Gotta trust me on that ghee, it does good things to chips!

    Never left a big comment here, and no one will probably read it, but what about teriyaki salmon? It is hella simply too: you simply mix 1:1 sake with soy sauce before adding 2-4 tablespoons of sugar(depending on the taste) and then mixing in some sriracha if you want that nice spicy punch. Sesame seed oil, half of the tablespoon, will also be good as it will add this "Asian taste" to it. You take salmon, pepper and salt it before adding some oil to your pan/wok(I use sesame seed oil). You put salmon skin first onto oil, fry it until it is yellow before flipping. You cook the other side until it gets that nice colour, flipping it again onto the skin and then again, after some time, onto the salmon side. Then, you add in your mixed sauce while keeping heat high. Then, you simply flip it every 2-3 minutes while allowing the sauce to boil and reduce. After flipping salmon 4-5 times, you should have very tender salmon. At that point you turn heat off and allow sauce to fully reduce.

    As a beer nerd, most Mexican beer in the states is just domestically made lager that gets touted as being made in Mexico.

If you want a lighter batter, grab a Samuel Smith Organic Lager.

      It's much more coarse so you can really tell how much you're putting on, and it's a lot easier to use with your hands. Once you get used to it, you won't even have to taste as you go because you know exactly how salty it will be.

    Just tried out the salmon recipe with a few alterations because i like to experiment. Omg you gotta try this. I used a full salmon fillet, same baking instructions but change the time to around 28 minutes of you salmon is thick and large like mine was. Before putting the mayo on put a healthy amount in a bowl mix in a healthy amount of fresh ground black pepper or to your tasting, about a table spoon of chili powder, maybe half a table spoon of ground pink himalayan salt or whatever you have lying around. Some oregano leaves one small lime, dice up about half a red onion not too fine but small, one green jalapeno, mix it all up very well then spread onto the salmon and instead of bread crumbs i used some corn bread mix ( jiffy because its a very dry cornbread ) it came out great. The corn bread adds a nice sweetness to along with the onions that baked in the mayo, with the perfect amount of a light spice from the jalapenos ( take seeds out of the jalapenos ) and the skin was nice and crispy brown.

So you take a parrot fish (uhu in hawaii) and you steam it until tender, then you heat up peanut oil very hot right before it starts smoking, then you later pieces of ginger, garlic, and pepper corns along with some other aromatics on the fish and then pour the hot peanut oil on top

    Grill steamed teriyaki salmon. I marinade the salmon in Yoshidas teriyaki sauce for about an hour place the dried filet skin side down in the center of a piece aluminum foil. Spread a large pad of creme cheese on top of the filet put a handful of sliced mushrooms on top with a couple pieces of peeled garlic dust with onion powder and add some fresh herbs ( whatever i happen to have in my garden.) Seal the aluminum foil in a tent around the salmon and place on a heated grill on the hot side for a couple minutes and move to the cold side for the remainder of your cooking time. Total cooking time should be about 10 min per in of thickness.

    The path to a perfect done fish is to not over cook it! When frying in pan or in oven get it off the heat when it’s almost done and then let the residual heat do the work. Nice and juicy fish. Sorry for my bad English. When boiling fish (like cod) make a fish stock with vegetables (onions, carrots etc), herbs, spices and let it simmer to let all the good stuff mix. Then move the pot from the heat and put your fish into the pot, the stock has to cover the fish. Put on a lid and set timer on 7 minutes, after that your fish is perfectly cooked and still firm. Use part of the stock (filtered from the big bits), in a pot with more herbs and some white wine and reduce it so it thickens. Add double cream and cream fresh, and voila- you got a smashing meal, serve with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes.
