Man, I’m telling you I hit a home run with my wife on this mackerel stew. I tweaked it by adding a can of coconut milk and topped it off with a garnish of cilantro. Fantastic!! Thanks for the video.
Chop up a potato or two and toss them in next time and it will add a nice compliment to the stew. Even some green banana or plantain. Great recipe, quick and easy. Cheers.
I made this soup last night. Wanted to do something different with mackerel. SUPER EASY!! Very delicious!! I used a few spices along with Old Bay seasoning for seafood which really brought out the flavor. The next time that I make it, I plan to toss in some veggies, just to add a little flare. Absolutely loved it.
I've made this recipe at LEAST a gillion times over the years. Mom used to make a mackerel stew, but it had a white base of some kind. Reminded me of potato soup. I found this recipe and wow!!! If they don't have this in heaven, I don't know if I want to go. Its that good, to me. Thanks chef Buck. I don't know what took me so long to comment.
This has become a go to, meal for me. I love it! I use chili paste for the kick and always add greens, either kale or spinach ; bam even more nutritious! Thank you, 😊
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I make soup all the time, but had never attempted fish stew. Your recipe was delicious, and I believe it was one of the most flavorful stews/soups I’ve eaten. Two thumbs up!!
I made this last night and I have to say..... it was easy and very delicious. I will definitely be saving this recipe to make in the future. Thank you for sharing.
I found your recipe about 2 weeks ago and finally made it. It was very good! That makes my attempt at trying to be healthier a lot easier. I’ll be checking out more recipes on your blog.
I've made this too many times to count thanks to your video. Simple, cheap and delicious. Doesn't get any better then that😊 I put bonnet peppers and cilantro and its amazing! My fiance loves it! Thanks again
Sir, this was truly AWESOME! My family couldn't get enough... My husband said he never thought he would eat a fish stew again ( bad childhood experience). He was floored. Thank you for making my dinner for tonight easy and elegant. This has become a classic!
I've been hankering for a fish chowder to enjoy this winter time. I'm starting on my second bowl and it is delicious. Thanks for your recipe that gave me a head start on git'er done.
I made this today and it was wonderful. Thank you. Quick tip is to not put the chillis in first thing like he did, the hot oil basically made teargas from my chillis and everyone in the room started choking! Put them in after the onions. I also added garlic and the green and white parts of a couple of spring onions.
I made this and I was blown away by how much flavor it has from the fish. My tastebuds were exploding!! I went to the dollar tree and I bought a case of this stuff for emergency food storage. But ooohhh yeah I will be making this again!!
I saw this recipe and made it last night! So easy and so good! Thank you for your simple and easy recipes. I'm looking forward to trying some of your other easy recipes. I love your simple style and your personality just adds entertainment to the video.
Just started watching your videos. I love you recipes and your personality and the format of your videos.. Very down to earth😂..I will be making some of your soups! Thank you!
I'm making this for my lunch for the next few days. Its not even done yet and it tastes absolutely delicious. This is going to become my winter staple too.
Never thought to use Mackerel in a stew. Looks delicious. I'm definitely making one today. I always have can of Mackerel in my pantry. Mackerel is my favourite fish especially smpked one.
This was soooo good! Thanks! I threw in some black garlic powder, thyme, a bay leaf, and the entire can of mackerel including the brine. O. M. G. Incredible!!
Made this tonight and it was GREAT! Seriously use the entire amount of onion (I made 1/2 the recipe and used 1 whole med. onion). The onion with the tomato paste and mackerel is just yum. Super easy, super quick, very hearty and absolutely delish. A nice change for supper...thanks for the recipe!
Just made and finished eating this fantastic stew! I have never had canned mackerel before. Btw, Thanks for the warning! Lol! Great easy recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful recipe; the flavors were right up my alley. I began making this at the end of last winter, and I quickly see it becoming a staple as the colder months set in.
ha!--I agree, it is a little shocking...who'd a thought?--and it's so easy. I know a lot of folks are hesitant to try canned mackerel, but it's great in this stew. Thanks for trying it out.
Thank you. I am going to grocery store today. Mackerel is going in the shopping cart. . . . Being familiar with tortillas soup--I live in South Texas--I will will add into my bowl avocado slices, chopped cultural or parsley, and a lime wedge. Adding lime wedge adds more acidity and eliminates chance of noticeable seeds. Excellente.
I made this today and liked it very much. It was wonderful to discover canned mackerel. Where has it been all my life. I was happy it didn't taste canned. This seems like a springboard recipe with endless possibilities. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching and giving the recipe a try....I know a lot of folks have a poor opinion of canned mackerel, but it really works in this dish....I've been making this recipe the same way for tears...it's a dish I make quite a bit in the winter
I made this here stew tonight and it was delicious! I added some freshly minced garlic just after I added the Mackrel and used a line instead of a lemon. Had it over some rice and it was magnificent!
+Chef Buck the lemon is better for Cajun flavors... I only used what I had in the house for this here stew. That's why the lime was used. The garlic added another dimension! Keep it up chef!
I knew mackerel was heart healthy.I walked by some Freddie Kruger size cans of mackerel in the dollar store.They peaked my interest but I didn't know what to do with them.I was scared what I might find in them.Maybe an old license plate or a tire or steering wheel? So you've taken the mystique and fear out of it and I think I'm ready to give it a go. Thanks.
Gregory Brilowski I'm sure my neighbors could smell it, too! We live in a dinky studio apartment, so I'm sure I smelled like stew when I left the building this morning.
I love this recipe. Never thought of making stew out of canned mackerel. You never know when you'll be on a really tight budget, so it's good to know affordable tasty dishes. I'm going to make this week & add some potatoes to mine, cause I love potatoes & just to make it more filling. Sounds like it would be good with some cilantro sprinkled on top with that lemon & hot sauce. Now I'm hungry.
Lil Mystikal I've got a pot of this stew in the fridge right now (or what's left of the stew). I've been making a batch pretty regularly for years now...it's delicious, a great deal, and I think pretty good for us. Half the time we just eat it as is, without serving with rice. It's very hearty. hope you like it.
***** oh man, glad to report that it was good, not just good , but satisfying. It got me & and my buds full. I actually have some in my fridge as well. I added a little lime & cilantro to mine &,some Tabasco . nothing like affordable tasty food that's easy to make.
Chef Buck. I absolutely love this recipe. I have only used canned fish for making fish molds and croquettes! I never thought to use it for a stew! I am going to have to try this. If I make a video and put it on my channel I will give you all of the credit. Your plated (bowled) camera shot looked rich, hearty and delicious! Nicely done!
Daddy Cooks I always use the canned mackerel for stews and canned salmon for patties and croquettes, although I may start using mackerel for croquettes, since the price of salmon is getting a little out of hand, especially the red salmon (I sound just like my mom whining about the price of groceries)
making it at the moment, this is awesome. I didn't have any peppers/paprika at the hand so instead I used some chopped tomatoes, and instead of tomato paste, I used some homemade tomato juice. and added a bit of garlic, dried cherry tomatoes and rosemary. damn, this is tasting awesome. this is going to be my go to fish soup, I will use it as a base for making fish soups in a future, I guess I can use some different and fresh fish, maybe add some potatoes or other vegetables. Thank you very much for this recipe, you are awesome!
👍😂🥰😃 Today is the day!! Iam finally going to make your scrumptious recipe! 😂🥳🤩 also its my birthday today so what better time to have a beautiful healthy fish dinner!! Thanks for your recipe! ❤️💗💕💕💕💕
I made this about a year ago from your old video. It was great! Thanks for updating and reminding me how tasty and easy it was to make. That canned mackerel is ugly, but it's good for you and tastes better than it looks!
MrPlayfulOtter yeah...we've been making this dish for a looooong time. I've been meaning to update that video forever...it's a pretty sad cooking video, but at least I can watch it and see what the old kitchen used to look like :^)
@@ChefBuckRecipes Thank you soooooo fucking much! I curse people in a most affectionate manner. I love those cookery videos, but there's a problem; no recipe and how much to use. However, yours actually includes a recipe! Thank you so much. I tried tinned mackeral in a baked potatoe; horrible! But your soup seems gorgeous. Since my lovely mother died, I have survived on jacket potatoes and sandwiches. However, that lovely recipe is perfect for a beginner! Could I use tinned salmon, tuna, or sardines? Please reply to me.
Cooked this up. I had some fresh mackerel in the fridge that was destined for the bin. (lack of ideas) Awesome recipe! Other than using the fresh mackerel; I did it exactly the same way. Random green chilli, I't wasn't a Jalapeno but gave it a nice little kick all the same! Cheers Chef Buck and CameraGirl......Winner Winner, mackerel dinner!
I'll be honest and say this recipe was "OK" just after being made. The next day after all the flavors had married, it is delicious. Good one Buck! I added a 1/2 can of Campbell's bacon bean soup and another half can of water.........Boom Boom Boom!
So I got all the ingredients this morning and made it in the pm and WOW.....just as advertised. I did add some clams and crab meat but stuck to the rest of the recipe and this is going to be in our menu from now on. Great share.
I added a sweet potato I had to get rid of, and a couple slices of chopped bacon and a few additional savory spices. This made a great cheap&easy chowder
Great recipe! Also great to modify! I made mine a Mexican Fish Stew... Instead of chicken broth, I added a can of corn chowder... Instead of fresh peppers, I added Hot Sauce.... and then I added fresh crushed garlic... and 3 Tablespoons of lemon.... Muy bien....
This was awesome. I substituted ginger and garlic for the jalapeños. It was so delicious that I had 2 bowls for dinner and will be eating the leftovers till it's gone!!!!
@Chef Buck, that looks good. And as you presented it, would stand alone as a great meal. I think I'd add some sauteed smoked or andouille sausage. Just to add another layer of flavor and some nuance. Served on rice, you'd have an American paella of sorts. Thanx for the video.
looks awesome I'll try this when I can pay for it. looks awesome thank you thank you. I can't cook so well but I think I can pull this off thanks good sir have a good day:):)
I made this last night. I did go ahead and throw in a couple small jalapenos and some red pepper flakes. It was great! It far exceeded my expectations especially considering how relatively easy it was to throw together. The hardest part was removing the bones and skin from the fish. Great recipe!
kab4292 yeah...it's crazy easy. I actually made this dish again this week. We've had a guest staying with us, so it's a perfect dish to have on hand sitting in the fridge whenever anyone feels like a quick bite.
I have made this before without chicken broth. I like to add tomatoes and a small amount of diced potato and peas. Your addition of lemon made me wonder what is wrong with me, I have never added it and it would be perfect. You can get mackerel in tomato sauce that is milder flavor, and also take a spoon and scrape off the brown meat at the top of the fish near the bloodline for finicky eaters.. You never know what is going to come out of the can. My mom and brother stayed with me to wait out a hurricane. I chose that moment to introduce them to jack mackerel. The can I opened was stinky even for me. my brother threatened to go outside in the hurricane and walk home. Buy some oyster crackers, they make every soup or stew 10% better just by being in the bowl. you did good Buck-Not many people will do a recipe on something like this. It is easy to make a recipe with 40 dollars worth of ingredients and 5 types of cheese, they should try doing a recipe on a food like jack mackerel that is a top barter item among prison inmates, LOL
Robb's Homemade Life I'll have to take your word on the prison reference, since I've never been caught. Me and CG have been making this mackerel for years. I made a recipe video of this dish about 4 years ago, but it's not that good, and not HD...I've been wanting to re-shoot it for a while, but I'm usually hungry and just want to eat when I make this stew....it's a definite go-to on a chilly day when I'm feeling lazy...doesn't take much time and once you've chopped up the onion and celery most of the work is done.
Chef Buck I retired as correctional officer and have seen all the food inmates make and look and smell wonderful and have tried them at home as well and is good
My father would always buy mackerel instead of salmon now I know that it is really good in the can. I don't like fresh salmon but I like salmon in the can. Now I will revisit Mackerel in the can. Thank you
Never tried mackerel, but I can't wait, now is the time, it's a damn shame you can't afford to buy fresh fish anymore, and I'm not a great cook anyway, so most of the time, I ruin it, this'll really work out, thanks to your videos!
yeah...fresh fish can be a bit pricey sometimes, but something is always on sale, and that's usually what I buy, but sometimes it's not the best fish...I like to buy these canned oily fish because they're wild caught, a better price, and if you can believe even a fraction of the info on the web, better nutrition for you ...plus this recipe is just super easy...hope you like it
Man, I’m telling you I hit a home run with my wife on this mackerel stew. I tweaked it by adding a can of coconut milk and topped it off with a garnish of cilantro. Fantastic!! Thanks for the video.
Sammy Elliott man you just changed the game
Yes, a can of coconut milk is needed in this recipe, well done!
@@c_farther5208 Should the water/stock mix be decreased then, if using can of coconut milk?
I add some shrimp in mine plus some garlic, I don't remember you adding any
Also some crab or a bag of the seafood mix would be good also.
@@jayfreeman5333 no

Can't go wrong with Old Bay. Nice touch.

Great video Chef Buck!
This looks great. I've never had mackeral but I'm about to make this one. Like you said, cheap and simple.
Wow I just made this and the flavor is awesome! I added a jarred curry to the tomato paste, it just sent it over the moon!
curry just makes things better
Candace Vaillette oh yes curry would be great in that stew.
Thanks sounds good !! Like to watch you cook !! ☺
one of my favorite dishes to make when I don't want to work too hard in the kitchen!

I guess Life is like a can of mackerels... You never know what you're gonna get.

GUMP!! LOL
You did a great job on this video, anxious to give it a try. Ray
Looks delicious!
Delicious had it with some crackers. Enjoyed it. Will be doing it again soon.
This stuff is really good. I added homemade sofrito and ate it with boiled green bananas. Thank for sharing your recipe.

I like to add more water to make it a soup and Add little curry and coconut milk and throw in the ramen noodles at the and 🔥
What a great idea! I could smell it while it was cooking, yeah.
Gregory Brilowski I'm sure my neighbors could smell it, too! We live in a dinky studio apartment, so I'm sure I smelled like stew when I left the building this morning.

This was awesome. I substituted ginger and garlic for the jalapeños. It was so delicious that I had 2 bowls for dinner and will be eating the leftovers till it's gone!!!!
When you did have rice with it, did you add cooked rice to the stew or did you serve it over rice?

Yum! Great Keto stew.
Would adding like the liquid from the can add more flavor??
I added a vinegar based hot sauce and this was delicious. Very hearty.
Fresh herbs like cilantro mint parsley sage would be quiet nice. An oldie but still a goodie.

Buy some oyster crackers, they make every soup or stew 10% better just by being in the bowl.
you did good Buck-Not many people will do a recipe on something like this. It is easy to make a recipe with 40 dollars worth of ingredients and 5 types of cheese, they should try doing a recipe on a food like jack mackerel that is a top barter item among prison inmates, LOL
Robb's Homemade Life I'll have to take your word on the prison reference, since I've never been caught. Me and CG have been making this mackerel for years. I made a recipe video of this dish about 4 years ago, but it's not that good, and not HD...I've been wanting to re-shoot it for a while, but I'm usually hungry and just want to eat when I make this stew....it's a definite go-to on a chilly day when I'm feeling lazy...doesn't take much time and once you've chopped up the onion and celery most of the work is done.
Chef Buck I retired as correctional officer and have seen all the food inmates make and look and smell wonderful and have tried them at home as well and is good
My father would always buy mackerel instead of salmon now I know that it is really good in the can. I don't like fresh salmon but I like salmon in the can. Now I will revisit Mackerel in the can. Thank you
Never tried mackerel, but I can't wait, now is the time, it's a damn shame you can't afford to buy fresh fish anymore, and I'm not a great cook anyway, so most of the time, I ruin it, this'll really work out, thanks to your videos!
yeah...fresh fish can be a bit pricey sometimes, but something is always on sale, and that's usually what I buy, but sometimes it's not the best fish...I like to buy these canned oily fish because they're wild caught, a better price, and if you can believe even a fraction of the info on the web, better nutrition for you ...plus this recipe is just super easy...hope you like it
you could make some heart dumpligs with it! they may taste delicious if you like dumplililins!!!
Yes-s-s-s-s-! Very smart.
would canned salmon work as a sub for the mackerel?
I made this today I had a potato in it though it's really good
LOL i knew you were a Yat...the accent and you knowing how to cook, obviously. well done!
