A quick tip: if you want to store boiling water, boil an enormous batch in a big pot and freeze it! Voilà, boiling water for any occasion!
Chopersky or you can just fill a pot with water
Jordan you didn't get the joke :(
Keeping it fresh frozen
Jordan Fukushima why you gotta ruin the joke like that?
Chopersky this is a great idea for those who love boiled water

YES been waiting for this one. I always felt like I was doing fish wrong. Thank you Babish!
I thought you knew everything. My reality is shattered.
Wait you here too!? The fish n chip is too Op it give me too much wight.
Do an episode where you rank different fish based on how good they taste.
And the great thing about these methods of preparing fish is how much xp they give you in your cooking skill.
Will fish and chips manage to keep its spot in the A tier or will they get demoted thanks to the tank item buffs and assassin nerfs?

"Okay so first you want to make your own ocean. This is easy, all that's needed is some salt and water."
I recommend using the biggest Dutch oven you can get your hands on.
Salmon is a river fish. Just letting you know.
@@bulja80085Cod isn’t and I believe that’s what he used for the second thing
@@spapeztheoctopus3249 well yeah, but point is even with the whole ocean you still couldn’t make all these recepies
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.
"Like your landlord clings to your security deposit." Sounds typical. Lol
17 may- Babish makes this video
24 may- My canteen makes breadcrumb salmon in the same way
what the fuck kind of canteen serves that I want that kind of food in mine
My canteen never makes salmon because it's too expensive
im lucky to have potato wedges in my canteen

I don’t think Babish likes his landlord
Does anyone?
Lol what he said was true though. Happened to me more than once.
dont trash your house then
Dennis Bradberry lol how naive are you? Most landlords will find any excuse to keep your security even if you leave the house immaculate.
quagleskarff agreed!!! That’s exactly the point Babish made
I know this video is a couple years old, and it may be the comments might not be viewed as regularly. However, I needed something quick and easy to feed my family and I instantly thought of this first easy recipe. Thank you Babish so much for your dedication to cooking, and bringing that love to all of us!!
Just tried the salmon as the first meal I've had in a long time that wasn't microwaved or takeout, and as the first time trying salmon at all. Gotta say, not bad.
Good job!
Takeout is best out
Yes salmon is so delicious
@@javi5810 until you have a bad salmon 🤢
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
I've never seen tartar sauce in a chippy: the man wants gravy, curry sauce of mushy peas
Fred don't know how it is with Brits but I'm Aussie and tartar sauce is the fucking BEST on chips
oath. Hell, even tartar sauce and mushy peas is great with fish n chips.
australian here.
mushy peas are for meat pies.
tomato sauce is for fish and chips. take your vinegar and mayo and go fuck yourself.
agreed about the chips though
Thank you for saying it. I'd be pissed as all hell if I ordered chips and got those
instructions unclear, fish got up and walked out
go fish

Did he sniff the potato skins? 🤨
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that
Not Neo the smell of freshly peeled potatoes is the best
Do you not sniff your potato skins?
I thought he was trying to eat them...
I cook with potatoes in various different ways pretty often and yeah, a freshly peeled potatoes smell fucking amazing, not sure why.
I made your panko salmon recipe for my family and they absolutely loved it! They told me a bunch to leave a comment about how much they did and I really enjoyed it as well as a person who can never get enough salmon. It was really quick and easy and I enjoyed making it.

Fun fact: most people with a peanut allergy can actually have things fried in peanut oil because it's the proteins in the peanut that cause the allergic reaction, not the oil
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
"administer one to yourself if necessary"
This is why I love you, Andrew
This makes me want to pair a Chilean sea bass with an aggressive Zinfandel. Niles would be proud ;)
Fun fact Chilean sea bass is actually a cod, and before it was rebranded by a fish wholesaler in 1977 it was known as the Patagonian toothfish.
Goes well with Pinot Noir if you like reds.
i thought it was chilli and sea bass
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.
You ever think everyone could be giants and just walk over buildings?
Hey Babish! Just letting you know I’ve been back to this video about once every two weeks for the past year to cook the bread crumb salmon for my wife. Thanks for making it so easy to love cooking and for not being terrified of cooking fish anymore
Hey babby, did you see that video of italian dudes judging your carbonara? Lol i died inside but it was hilarious
Amandaxxcastilho link?
They were kind of mean, probably didn't even know he was recreating a dish from a tv show.
Yet you can't really blame an italian for going nuts after seeing garlic in carbonara.

HAHAA it was so funny. Love babish but respect the classics
Link?
"Like your landlord clings to your security deposit." Too true man, too true.
This looks great! Although, as an official card-carrying Brit I'd say those chips are still way too thin, they look far more like French Fries than the Chip Shop chips we're used to.
Agreed. Chips are usually thick and normally have a crunchy outside but soft fluffy inside from the place i get mine from
If they aren't thicker than your wrist they aren't good enough
Those are called steak fries here.

When babby said, “what if it’s Friday night and you want the badder side of fish” and he introduced fish and chips.
What he meant was the “batter” side of fish...and I don’t feel that witty banter received the love it deserves.
As an English person who eats fish and chips on a daily basis as it's the only national dish we have I would say bravo to the fish but those chips are too thin and too dark.
Yep - He talked about how to get them crispy when that's not really what you want with proper chippy chips, and defo too thin
Dontbescaredhomie92 yeah he made American French fries. Those are perfect for me!
Those are called FREEDOM FRIES.
Still looks like a delicious dish, but beer batter is traditionally made with a bitter not lager too.

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.
Try beer battered rock fish. It has a single spine going down the middle which makes it a tad trickier but it's worth it. :)

Made the first recipe three times so far! Really love it, thank you for making such easy to follow videos
"Chips translates to big fat greasy french fries, so we are gonna cut ourselfes"
Well alright then
North America!!! Please start draining your deep fried stuff by putting into a hot mesh/strainer thing and leaving it sit above the hot oil for a minute before you put it onto your paper towels!!! It works sooooooo much better to make less greasy crispy stuff. Tell everyone!!!
You don't need to teach the US how to deep fry stuff haha.
@@MooSaidChicken :)
But why fry stuff if you want it LESS greasy?
I think it would be beneficial to do a video on how to store oils you have already use, or applications of bacon grease. Just thinks after the cook or proper cleaning/ pick up tips. Thanks!
bacon fat is better used as a body oil. nipples most effective.
I want to say “unbelievable that you are number 6 on trending videos right now” but I absolutely believe it.
You are so freaking awesome and I’m super pumped to see how much recognition you have earned.
Killer video. Cooking fish can be intimidating to a home cook, but as usual, you make delicious recipes incredibly approachable.
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!
Damn it I don't know why I haven't found this channel sooner. I have been bingeing on Babbish for the last day and a half and love it.
Sitting here waiting on 2 salmon fillets with black pepper over top to be finished broiling, coincidence man, coincidence.
him: ok we are making extremely simple fish thing
me: why do u need to toast breadcrumbs
maybe do a fish filleting video. i recently did my food tech practical exam with fish and there were no good, soothing fish filleting videos. (by this i mean to suggest cutting a whole fish, de-skinning / de-scaling, removing bones and filleting.
KadavaGHG have a look at the scott rea channel, a butcher who shows both cooking and preparation "from field to fork", he covers a lot more of the pre cooking preperation.
I love the way that he kind of sniffed the potato peelings before tossing them.
Just rewatched this video to make some Salmon Filets and they were absolutely delicious!
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.
What I expected: fish
What I got: MODELO TIME
“Administer one to yourself if necessary.”
Yes. Please! 😂
just made the salmon- absolutely amazing
a couple things I changed:
lemon juice mixed into the mayo and mustard mixture
a bit of garlic salt rubbed onto the salmon
chopped garlic cloves in the bread crumbs
were you able to taste the mustard with your salmon? i fucking hate mustard and am looking for a substitute but if you can't really taste it then i GUESS ill try it.....
The other night, I did some tilapia on the stove. Afterwards I added my onions then garlic garlic. Afterwards I added some olive oil and flour to make a roux then deglazed with milk and chicken stock. I finished with some butter and parsley. It was delicious.
How is fresh salmon economical, the stuff is €30/kilo here, steaks is cheaper
BamiBal Waayyyy cheaper in the U.S sorry dude
Salmon is still fairly expensive in the U.S. I would say. Definitely not my pick for economical fish.
yeah _ What fish do you usually have? I live in Toronto, and I can't stand most North American fishes. Besides Asian species, I only eat salmon cause all the other ones are too...fishy for me.
Elijah Mikhail I usually buy forzen fish, it's about half as cheap. Wich I don't really understand since i don't live that far from the coast.
It's cheaper to buy salmon steaks here too (the U.S.) that's what I usually get

Same here. He’s been the biggest influence on me in terms of cooking.
For baked salmon, instead of greasing foil we just put parchment paper over a broiler pan or cookie sheet. Non-stick and no mess.
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 the authentic British beer batter experience, there are two ways you could go with this. If you want a maltier tasting batter, grab a Newcastle Brown. If you want a lighter batter, grab a Samuel Smith Organic Lager.
In Mexico we call the unhealthy one: "Chicharron de Pescado" which basically means "Crackling Fish"
Alejandro Guerra Villegas what the, thats very specific. It's usually called pezcado empanizado
Nope, Pescado Empanizado its cooked on a pan with huge less oil hehehe ... when its "Chicharron de Pescado" its when its sumerge as Babish did on this video. I used to think that also, but my Grandma quickly corrected me and you know Grandmas knows best.
Am I the only one that is slightly bothered by the sound gap in the intro?
I love it. It gives the music a cool dynamic. It's a really good intro vignette imo, but to each their own I guess :)
It's not by accident it's on purpose
Ive been binge waching these and every new episode i get to be bothered by it again
I'm ever so slightly bothered by it. Not enough to actually give a full fuck. Just a slight bother. Eyebrow raise with a touch of a shudder, finished with a mild pursing of the lips.
I hate it
Question: what’s the benefit of kosher salt vs. ...well, any other salt? Or did I miss a video about that?
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.
Aramis419 Kosher salt generally refers to a coarser salt than table salt. It gives greater control and reduces the chance of a food being too salty. He's commented about it elsewhere.
I was expecting "Basics with Babish" to cover more basic things like this - subtle nuances between things that most people overlook or just don't know .. but instead we just got a tasty fish recipe
Chef john aka foodwishes made a video about this,check out his youtube channel
if you don't buy the kosher one, than you're an antisemite. thats the diffrence.
I like to season my salmon fillets with paprika and lemon pepper and panfry it in vegetable oil until medium rare, the seasoning also gives it a nice blackened crust on the outside
People who are allergic to peanuts aren’t typically allergic to peanut oil. The oil has had the proteins of the peanut removed which is what most people who are allergic to peanuts are actually allergic to
1:51 don't lie that yolk made it in to the bowl, but nice quick cutaway.
mcdouche2 what’s wrong with yolks anyway?
@@briancooley8777 Nothing wrong, but some recipes only call for egg whites.
"Economically responsible way of making dinner" ? Mr. Babish do you realize how expensive fish is compared to any other types of meat or vegetables :D
Depends on where you live. Near the coast, fish is very cheap.
You can get salmson filets for 10 bucks
Getting to the BATTER side of fish
*_badum tschhh_*
If my life ever gets an audiobook I would like Andrew to narrate please.
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.
"Wick up the flavours"
I like it.
Wake
Your fish all cooked swimmingly.
......
I'll show myself out.
Hmmm. What about steamed fish? How do make THAT taste good?
Isagail just... dont steam fish
Isagail I can help. 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
Why steam fish when you could just bake it with lots of butter and garlic? The best way to improve steamed fish that I could think of is add butter which, I know, defeats the purpose of steaming fish.
Steamed fish with ginger, spring onion, and soy sauce - a traditional Cantonese recipe - really good
Look up Chinese recipes for steaming fish.
I love babish’s bad dad jokes cause they remind me of bobs jokes from bobs burgers
I’m an apprentice chef and I learn more from this series than I do from the actual chefs I work with
i cannot cook salmon
Well now you can!
good for you
Technically a cod is a smaller fish to fry than a salmon.
aw I wouldve loved a custom sauce to go with the fish n chips
Pepsi Puppy mushy peas. Anything else would be blasphemous.
Bhaalgorn2302 gravy? Curry sauce? Tartar?
Mushy peas and tartare sauce. All you need with fish and chips.
source: am british
I like malt vinegar with mine but I’d honestly be down to try those other options
(Am American, no expert on fish and chips toppings lol)
Here's the traditional way to have it
Battered fish, chunky + soft chips (lightly fried, someone mentioned the process somewhere else), mushy peas, tartare sauce, fuckton of salt and malt vinegar. Best enjoyed by a seaside with tons of seagulls trying to nick yer bloody chips. Thieving little shits.
"Dont stir too much. We don't want gluten to form"
Me, a person with celiacs: hmm yes, I should make a note of that!
It's more effective to drain the batter on a wire rack and patting it down with paper towels. It'll be much crispier and retain it's crisp for longer, so this is especially useful if you're deep frying ahead of time.
when did Vsauce start a cooking channel?
That’s not vsauce

Real chippy chips should be pretty bloody tHiCcC not much like fries. Just realized that sounds weird, in the midlands we call a fish and chip shop a chippy.
We call it a chippy all over england bud! Also felt Mexican beer was an odd choice. Nice amber ale wouldve been better
Golden ale rather
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

@@3295reapersheir Hmmmmm-hmmmmmm......
I'm happy to see a new video but that breadcrumb salmon looks bad. Sorry, it just looks bad.
Chewie Defense completely agree. Low quality dish. should have seared it up with some salt and pepper and finished in the oven with some butter and thyme if he wanted that herby flavor
It's Atlantic salmon. It's a sadder fish to start with. Wild pacific salmon you coat the top in a little brown sugar and garlic, and then grill skin side down, serving slightly rare
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.
Delish. This recipe also works with trout and cat fish with only minor changes to the preparation.
thank you so much for posting this! i've been looking for another salmon recipe without foul ass mustard
One tip, for authentic fish and chips Haddock is generally not used that often
Oh wow 52 comments already,
My cat would really appreciate this video
Salmon is not economical Bubby :,(
u look like a floorboard
still applies
When you fry with peanut oil the proteins that cause the allergic reaction get destroyed from the heat so it’s safe for anyone. I know this for a fact bc one of my friends who is allergic to peanuts eats chic fil a (they use peanut oil) all the time.
I like how all of us bearded guys with glasses use the arm of the glasses as the boundary for shaving our heads XD.
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.
(not even slightly) Pro-tip: With the fish and chips also coat a whisk with leftover batter and dip and twist into the oil after you've cooked your fish for delicious chunks of pure fatty batter (or scraps)
