It looks fantastic as the others have commented. The chef explained everything so well, I liked his tip with the knife to test that the fish was cooked.
Thanks for another cracking (2-part) Catch & Cook. JD's been one of my favourite fish ever since I was a young marine biology student and was given one to 'dissect and describe' in a practical exam. Bit of a gift really cos they're so well adapted to their ambush-predator lifestyle. Never caught one myself, though I've cooked and eaten plenty, especially in Brittany, where they often appear on the market stalls. Very versatile fish that works for most cooking techniques but I like it best barbecued over a beach bonfire, with plenty of dried fennel stalks underneath to add a hint of aniseed.
@@TheFishLocker John what is Spargo exactly cos I have looked for it via Google, TH-cam and can’t find it. Is it a restaurant? Jim is made for a cooking channel and he could merch those socks😉👍
Plz tell him to do a cook and try in front of the camera channel he needs to I looked if there was a channel called spargo kitchen but I didn’t see one tell him all his fans are needing a channel of his cooking and trying his food 🥘 channel!
Great video and lovely cooking! BTW! The story of St Peters Fish is actually the story of Peter not being able to pay his temple taxes. Jesus told him to go fish in the sea of Galilee and catch a fish, he did and hey, it had a sheckel coin in its mouth and he was able to pay his taxes, but left a thumb print on the fish. That fish was probably the same indigenous tilapia that fed the 5000 in a different gospel story. I lived and worked in Israel back in the day and had a job fish farming carp, St Peters Fish tilapia with the spot were a common bi catch and tasted better. They have been virtually fished out now, other species of tilapia have been put in the Galilee that dont seem to have that spot! I am sure there are other fish given the same St Peters name along with John Dory.
Oh my days, how happy was you eating your elusive fish, your father in law is a Jedi master in the kitchen those dory couldn’t of been cooked any better, great video as per usual stay safe lockers looking forward to the next 👍
Hey John, Your long-sought John Dory couldn't have had a more respectful & talented chef. !!!!OMG....from sea to plate....SUPERB!!!! All the best to you & your "entire" family. Ben
- Thank you for that Sophia, it truly is our hope that people feel that way. I understand that many people are struggling at the moment with the stressful things going on. And if we can provide even a short positive distraction then I feel it is our responsibility to do so. Take care and welcome to our channel. 😊
Amazing video👍 your father in law need to have a cooking book full with delicious recipe and amazing yummy dishes photos, i can imagine the wonderful cooking aroma when i was watching this video
Tell you what, Jim makes a great addition to the channel John, I can only imagine his neighbour's mouths must be permanently watering with the aroma that comes out from the open windows...
John Dory are like buses... You want one and three come along. Loved the last video and you should be proud John. Great to see the follow-on video and watch Jim cook it up.
@@TheFishLocker I love the coastal forage and cook-up videos and watch them with the kids at tea time (dinner if you're from the south). I don't normally watch your sea fishing videos as it's so specialised and seems very unrelatable to me but... I watched you proudly catch your first, second and third John Dory and felt happy. Seeing them being cooked made my day mate, honest.
That looks amazing! I wish we had smelly vision to get the full experience. Well done you for catching your long sought nemesis & well done Jim for another great dish! 👍🏻
Finally got a chance to sit and watch this video. Beautiful prep! The meat was so white. Reminds me of Trigger fish, my favorite fish. Not yet caught a John Dory, but.... Spargo's Kitchen did a superb job again!
What do I find amazing about your channel ?.... the dedication to produce regular content is amazing, the variety is truly amazing, the benefit to young and old to learn from that inner passion you and your family hold for the sea and it’s natural produce is amazing. I have learned so much about the coast around my shore, my kids think I’m an authority on the shoreline, na... I listen to John... that’s what I say to them.. 🤘🇨🇭
- Gordon, if you have learned something or if the videos have helped you in any way - then in my eyes they have been worth making. I am so glad that you are enjoying sharing this information with your children and helping them to explore the natural world. Good work my friend. Good work. 😊
- Thats fine Jan. I am the same usually and was a little apprehensive when Jim told me what he was intending but I was very very pleasantly surprised.😊
In the US there are lots of folks who are really picky when it comes to a fish’s bloodline. John Dory would be their ideal dream fish! Unfortunately, we don’t have John Dories on this side of the Atlantic 😢. Anyways, great job with the channel! Amazing video as always ❤️
The fish looks brilliant and probably tastes good as well. That’s the beauty of fresh catch. Thanks again, John, for this video and many thanks to Jim for preparing that tasty meal 😋
Thank you for doing the cook , beautiful simple ingredients, I could almost taste the dishes. I am compiling a shopping list of ingredients for my store cupboard based on Spargos kitchen, better than any tv chef! Thank you for a great vid👍
YES...PLEASE!!!! Some fresh-caught, Fish Locker Cod, Pollock or Haddock would be GREAT!!!! No-doubt it'll be transformed to "gourmet status" in Spargo's Kitchen. A month or 2 back, Hannah did a fish & chips cook-up video. If you haven't seen it...I recommend watching....it's AWESOME. Kind regards, Ben
@@redwingrob1036 Hey Rob...I vote for a beer batter. Preferably with a dash or 2 of cayenne pepper. Of course, that's optional. If it's prepared in Spargo's Kitchen, he likely has his favorite batter recipes. Kind regards, Ben
I am spending my lunch hour watching this.........I wish I was eating John Dory! Thanks for another great escape from my office on the prairies in Alberta, Canada.
Hello David, it's been a while since I was in Medicine Hat. No sea fishing to be had there, but I loved that town. Enjoyed a beer and live music in the Westlander. All the best from England.
@@TheMerlin672 thanks for the greeting. You sound like a Suffield man. Did you serve in the army there? I was in the Canadian Forces (and I love beer haha). All the best to you as well.
Well what can you say, those dishes looked mouth watering, has the father in law done the cooking professionally or is he still a professional, I used to live in the Falmouth area and just ask out of interest. Great video as usual 👍👍
- Jim is a professional chef and has been all his life. He was ( and still occasionally is ) personal chef for a local lord and his family. He is winding down his working now as he looks to retirement. 😊
I'm sure both dishes are fantastic, a great alternative is simply floured and pan fried JD with lemon and butter, greetings from Pittwater NSW Australia
I can remember being in Lanzarote and seeing John Dory on the menu at a fish restaurant, don’t like the sound of that I thought to myself, if only I’d known!
Awesome John the smell in the kitchen must have been mouthwatering what do John dory taste like ? keep the cooking coming with the weather getting worse it will keep us going through the tough winter coming keep safe tight lines
Like many others I wish there was a Spargo's Kitchen Channel or Restaurant I could visit, his passion for cooking shines. When can we come for dinner? haha XD
That looked so good! I wish there was a good seafood restaurant around here! I've just about got to the point of buying fishsticks from the grocery! I enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing whats next on the menu!
You asked for ideas. How about cooking up an Indonesian Steamboat? Very difficult to find a UK restaurant that serve one. The only one I’ve ever eaten was cooked by me at the table on a bottled gas camping stove. You can use all types of fish and seafood.
www.wingingtheworld.com/malaysian-steamboat/ There’s quite a few TH-cam videos too. It’s similar to a fondu but the food is cooked in a stock. Does’t have to be fish and seafood but the one I cooked was. If you cook it indoors, things get very steamy!
That food looked amazing! I am really intrigued by the combination of orange, mushroom, and fish! Orange would not have been on my radar as an ingredient, esp with mushroom, but now I'm curious...
Oh how I wish I had smello/tasto options available on this video :-). Your father-in-law certainly did your long awaited John Dories justice. Excellent video mate.
- Haha. I think if we did there would be hundreds of folks licking their screens right now! haha. Glad you enjoyed the video mate. Best wishes to the family and stay safe. 😊
Looks fantastic, I love John Dory! I'm off wreck fishing in Whitby this Sunday - hoping for a nice ling or even a halibut and I'll certainly be nicking a few ideas from this video! Top job all round as usual! :)
Just Wow John! The baked John Dory looked fantastic! Not so keen on the Panfried, purely because both of us are not fans of anything in cream. To my mind, cream spoils the texture & the flavour. Everyone to their own! It looked delicious with the onions, mushroooms & orange before the cream went in. I'm guessing Hannah's Dad has worked as a chef, from his excellent knife skills? He certainly did that fish justice. Nice one mate - stay safe & well. 👍👍😁
- Absolutely that mate. Each to their own. I am not a massive fan of mushrooms but even I thought that one was delicious. The baked one I think was my favourite though. 😊 Yes Jim is a professional chef. 😊
It was great to see you catch them, plus the dolphins and Thresher Shark! Why did he remove the eyes before cooking? I generally leave them on, is there a reason we shouldn't?
Hello Peter, I know what ya' mean. I usually don't bother removing the eyes either. I think he may have removed them for a "family" presentation. My wife & children would never touch ANY fish I prepared & served with its' eyes remaining. I wouldn't think Hannah is "squeamish"...but James might be. Kind regards, Ben
@@TheFishLocker When my daughter & son were 10 or 12, I put a pimento-stuffed green (Spanish) olive in-place of the fish eye...just before serving. My wife & children laughed to tears :-)) My daughter is now 30. She still says...every time she sees a green olive...she smiles and remembers that "funny" fish I served. LOL, Ben
Hi John, pass on to Jim, my sympathy regarding the Fish spike down the fingernail, I did the same with a hardwood splinter but with me, they removed my thumbnail lol. Is Jim a chief or is he self-taught, either way, he knows his stuff. love the filleting and the finished dish looked very delish, like many others have said, "you cannot beat fresh fish, especially caught the same day, when I boat fished out of Brid or Bridlington, I used to cook mine when I got home, Mind you there weren't that many to cook Lol but I did catch a Brill one time and a bloke offered me £12 for it but I took it home, it was rather large. thank you john for another fine vid full of tips on cooking fish and what to serve with it. please pass on my thanks to Jim for a top demo. Also! if that was the thumbprint of St Peter then I would not like to meet him in a dark Whitby alley one night lol It was torture watching Jim serve the sumptuous Fishdish when all I had to contend with was a boiled Egg & Toast. are well!!
Cooking looked amazing, definitely food for thought, John Dory, who knew? And I defo appreciate your humour, John, whilst others, it seems, most certainly do not! Awkward moment much? 😬I was pithing myself! 😆 😅 😂 🤣
That was fantastic John! Especially knowing you chased these for so long! Btw I normally respond as Johan B. but my daughter’s gotten hold of my account 😄

Looks fantastic, I love John Dory! I'm off wreck fishing in Whitby this Sunday - hoping for a nice ling or even a halibut and I'll certainly be nicking a few ideas from this video! Top job all round as usual! :)
- Good luck mate. Who you fishing with?
@@TheFishLocker Heading out with Ken Graham on Libby, should be a good craic!
Wow those dishes looked well tasty, what does the John Dory taste similar to?Keep up all these delicious meals coming!!!
- I don't know. Possibly like gilt head bream as a comparison. Very nice textured and yet delicate tasting. 😊
Just Wow John! The baked John Dory looked fantastic! Not so keen on the Panfried, purely because both of us are not fans of anything in cream. To my mind, cream spoils the texture & the flavour. Everyone to their own! It looked delicious with the onions, mushroooms & orange before the cream went in. I'm guessing Hannah's Dad has worked as a chef, from his excellent knife skills? He certainly did that fish justice. Nice one mate - stay safe & well. 👍👍😁
- Absolutely that mate. Each to their own. I am not a massive fan of mushrooms but even I thought that one was delicious. The baked one I think was my favourite though. 😊 Yes Jim is a professional chef. 😊
Thank you for posting this !!!!!
- It is our pleasure. 😊
Great stuff Spargo 👏 👍
- Cheers Declan. 😊
how he cut those onions was crazy
Crazy good, or crazy crazy?
@@TheFishLocker crazy good
@@TheFishLocker and wow that's cool that you still reply when the video is 5 months old
Jim , how do you do the fermented potatoes. Is it possible to have Spargo channel pls , my cooking has improved by watching you Jim . Love it ❤️.
Jim has just retired so has earned a rest. He is willing to help us with our videos but right now that’s it.
Wow 👌👍
😊
fantastic video looked amazing
- Thank you June. 😊
Looking delicious! Did that much herbs affected fish taste a lot? And great salt tip for skinning! Thanks a lot for great content, as always!
- They only complimented it. I aren't a fan of overly herby things as I prefer to taste what it is I'm actually eating. But they were wonderful. 😊
Bloody love the John Dory t shirt......can I buy it?
- Yes you can Stephen. They are on our Teemill store. There is a link in the video description. 😊
Yumm!
😊
It was great to see you catch them, plus the dolphins and Thresher Shark! Why did he remove the eyes before cooking? I generally leave them on, is there a reason we shouldn't?
Hello Peter, I know what ya' mean. I usually don't bother removing the eyes either.
I think he may have removed them for a "family" presentation.
My wife & children would never touch ANY fish I prepared & served with its' eyes remaining.
I wouldn't think Hannah is "squeamish"...but James might be.
Kind regards, Ben
- You have pretty much hit the nail on the head. I questioned it also and its purely for presentation. 😊
@@TheFishLocker When my daughter & son were 10 or 12, I put a pimento-stuffed
green (Spanish) olive in-place of the fish eye...just before serving.
My wife & children laughed to tears :-))
My daughter is now 30. She still says...every time she sees a green olive...she smiles
and remembers that "funny" fish I served.
LOL, Ben
Hi John, pass on to Jim, my sympathy regarding the Fish spike down the fingernail, I did the same with a hardwood splinter but with me, they removed my thumbnail lol. Is Jim a chief or is he self-taught, either way, he knows his stuff. love the filleting and the finished dish looked very delish, like many others have said, "you cannot beat fresh fish, especially caught the same day, when I boat fished out of Brid or Bridlington, I used to cook mine when I got home, Mind you there weren't that many to cook Lol but I did catch a Brill one time and a bloke offered me £12 for it but I took it home, it was rather large. thank you john for another fine vid full of tips on cooking fish and what to serve with it. please pass on my thanks to Jim for a top demo. Also! if that was the thumbprint of St Peter then I would not like to meet him in a dark Whitby alley one night lol It was torture watching Jim serve the sumptuous Fishdish when all I had to contend with was a boiled Egg & Toast. are well!!
- Jim is a professional chef and has been for decades. Haha. Yes St Peter must have had blooming big hands!! Take care old boy. 😊
Cooking looked amazing, definitely food for thought, John Dory, who knew?
And I defo appreciate your humour, John, whilst others, it seems, most certainly do not! Awkward moment much? 😬I was pithing myself! 😆 😅 😂 🤣
Haha. It’s rare that I make a joke that can be shown on a family friendly channel. So I was quite pleased with that one 🤣
Proper scran that is
Absolutely delicious. 😊👍🏻
Thats some good eating lads! 👌
- Delicious eating. 😊
That was fantastic John! Especially knowing you chased these for so long! Btw I normally respond as Johan B. but my daughter’s gotten hold of my account 😄
- Haha. Thats fine mate. I don't judge "roo and broo" 😊
