    Asking a fishmongers or a greengrocers ‘what’s good right now’ is a great way to approach food. Butchers will also give suggestions for how to use unpopular cuts. Been a game changer for me. It makes cooking more fun, keeps me in those specialised shops not giving money to international conglomerates, and means I’m eating produce that’s more ethical and sustainable for everyone involved.

    I will highly recommend you try to salt-bake a whole fish, it's really delicious! You just put whatever flavours you want into the fish (lemon, dild, a bit of white wine) and place it on a tray, then you mix salt with a couple of eggs and cover the whole fish with the egg-salt. Cook the fish in an oven for around 20 min, put it on the table and crack it open.
    Also, fish skin gets stuck when the heat of the grill (or pan) isn't high enough. You want high heat, but not so high that it burns which will also make the fish stick. You're looking for a lot of orange coal and almost no black coals or flames.

    • @ofeliaht

    Great video! Just a tip for next time: whenever I grill fish I always find that the skin will naturally unstick from the grate after a slightly longer period of time so you could probably leave the fish longer in an attempt to reduce sticking.

  • @joshdaniels2363
    @joshdaniels2363 2 роки тому +13

    The problem with "cook seasonally, ask your provider what's good right now" is that most normal people shop at the their local supermarket and the people working behind the protein counters probably have no idea and don't care to find out anyway.

    • @physicsfan314
      @physicsfan314 2 роки тому +2

      At least at my grocery store, the guys behind the counter can tell me what's the freshest. They've given me recommendations like "Oooh, don't get that. Get this instead." That might come from loyalty and going to the same store for years, maybe?

  • @OMGitsTerasu
    @OMGitsTerasu 2 роки тому +6

    Use lots of oil when grilling fish. You always want to grill fish with its skin on.
    LET THE FISH RELEASE ITSELF WHEN ITS READY! Fish will stick to the grate. It will happen with oil too. The trick is to let the fish release itself from the grill grates by itself.

    It would be a great video series to do as the season changes! It’s important to diversify our foods seasonally not just for the environment (if we all eat the same foods it would deteriorate the wild ecosystems), but also for one’s health (we should eat a diversified diet for nutrients). Also our wallet.
    For each food season, it would be amazing if you could highlight what’s forageable, what’s easily grown in a small garden or a balcony, what’s sold at a butcher’s shop, fishmonger’s shop, and at farmer’s markets as seasons rotate. Like, different levels of affordability and convenience for people. This can get at people who care about sustainability, personal health, and affordable fresh foods.

But thankfully you mentioned it, and a bunch of helpful members of the audience have clarified that it is just a matter of leaving it on the grill a little longer for the skin to release itself :)

    Quick tip with filetting a whole fish. Break off the head first, then start the pulling off of the meat from there and work your way towards the tail. This better alligns with the direction of the bones and should come off cleaner with less bones remaining in the meat.
    Also, for grilling fish, there are specific holders/baskets which allow you to flip the fish whole and has the benefit that the the skin will stick to the basket and not to the grill.
    The end result looks delicious though!

    1. Oil the grill grates and the fish liberally.
    2. Let the fish tell you when to flip it. Too soon, and you'll get ripped skin.
    3. Flip the fish starting at the tougher side. Imagine the fish oriented where it's upright and facing right. You want to flip the fish from the top and flip it over its bottom.

    I give this my stamp of approval. Very good video. I ate eggs on pesto toast to this video. Very good. Very honest video with very honest reflections. 9/10. -1 because we didnt get to see adam taste the food. Very good.

    This looks really delicious! :) We should all cook more with new foods recommended to us.
    One method I can really recommend is an entire fish in parchment foil together with garlic, lemon, herbs, and potatoes and veggies like pepper or tomato. The potatoes aren't crispy, but the juices are amazing.

    This would be an awesome series, you could try this at local butchers or even at local farmers markets
