Oh god, Its a Spargo's Kitchen episode, quick get the oven on, gonna be real hungry in about half an hour 😅
Haha. Fact!!
was personally curious so I had a look, Potatoes are roughly 79% water.
Also, as always, you, Jim, no matter what you're doing, nothing gets tossed except rubbish. Use everything like the left over ling carcass for crab pots, scrap vegies for compost, always great to see and teach.
A great job to the sous chef, James.
Of course he knows a grand sea shanty "Ohhh who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"
Thanks to you, James, Jim, Hannah, Carole (when she appears, sorry if I spelled any names wrong) For sharing a little of your lives and love. Cheers to ya John.
That’s it Chris. Nothing goes to waste. 😊👍🏻
Chris, thank you for your lovely comments 😊
@@jamesspargo7821 np Jim, thanks for sharing some of your culinary skills with all of us.
Nope 80 percent water, c even artificial intelligence can't agree,..
Reminds me of Brave heart in battle , when the big bloke with the red beard says, " u lot cud'enee agreee on the colour of sh1te" 😂...
This is for Jim, from another amateur gardener and occasional home cook: to make dense home grown potatoes fluffy enough to mash easily, boil them unpeeled in lightly salted water until their skin starts to split spontaneously in the pot, than peel them hot (using a coarse rag or thick gloves) and lay them on a grill or a mesh pizza tray to cool down and evaporate excess water, cutting the bigger ones in half to speed up the process.
👍🏻
It's amazing how much James has grown up in the year I've been watching your videos. He's gone for a little boy to a young lad.
It’s all that lobster he’s been eating. 😉
Raw potatoes contain 79% water. As one would expect, the water content of boiled potatoes is similar to raw potatoes at 77%. Cooking in a dry environment reduces moisture content but not always as much as one would expect. For example, the water content of baked potatoes is 75% and that of microwaved potatoes is 72%
For all the people who were guessing the water percentage in potatoes 🤣🤣.
Love all your video content John with the entire family, makes me want to get a boat again myself and get back into boat fishing, like i did when i was a youngen with my dad. Had some wonderful memories of doing that with my dad and one day when im a father id love to make memories with my kids like i did with my dad.
Tight lines my friend!!!
Sounds like happy times Jack. 👍🏻
Potatoes are 77% water gentlemen. Another lovely catch and cook. Thank you!
Thank you for the clarification
Lovely. If I hadn't just stuffed my face with the bolognaise I just made, I would be jealous.
Both of these were delicious. 😊
That _was_ one helluva ling; worthy of gracing Jim Spargo's kitchen and an invite to the Fish Locker family dinner! 😂
Perfection mate. 👌🏻
👨🍳
That filleting was spot on John, I should know I was a Fishmonger back in the 70's & 8o's... Ahh, memories :-)
Thank you. 👍🏻
Love it when there's a catch and cook because it means a visit to Spargo's kitchen!
We love eating at Jim’s. 😊👍🏻
👨🍳
It is such a pleasure watching Jim at the kitchen creating beautiful dishes. Thank you for sharing 🤗😁
It is our pleasure Anna.
Tremendous effort Jim has put into those pies , the taste is definitely enhanced because their homemade with love and not shop bought .👍 Be careful on your way home with that 2nd pie John, a lot of people will be following the aroma 😂
Thanks Jim, John and James
Jason
Haha. Both pies were 👌🏻
Thankyou for your lovely comment
I don't like seafood. Never have, but wish I did. Even though that's the case I could watch spargo kitchen with John filming all day long. It's like therapy. Much love.
That is a shame for you as it offers such variety. I am glad you enjoy the videos either way.
Just another fantastic and much laborious meal by Jim. I felt like being invited for lunch in a typical British family. Seeing Jim walking around in the kitchen on socks was so natural yet funny. As you mentioned at the end, we missed Hanna in this episode. BTW. I like the way your wrapped ling's rack and head. You can throw it in the oven with any kind of vegetables (first vegetables for 20 mins) and later the fish for another 20 mins on olive oil. Just as simple. Thanks John.
👌🏻🐟
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
👨🍳
Watching you fillet the fish brings back memories of me watching my grandpa clean and fillet fish that me and him caught that day. The pie looked delicious if only smell-o-vision was a real thing cause I'm sure it smelled good too
It is always pleasing to watch someone fillet fish well imo.
I've just finished my tea, but that's made me mouth watering hungry again. 😋
Haha. Same here.
Man that filleting was a delight to watch
Practice makes perfect. I did slow it down for the camera but I hope it helps folks out.
A pleasure to watch as always mate and thanks so much for sharing :)
Made me hungry for sure!
My mum always used to put eggs in our fish pie, they are a nice addition I think.
Cheers mate :)
Rob.
I enjoyed them too.
What a delightful time you had!It is so wonderful to watch all the cooking!I would so enjoy what you made!Great family time too💥💥💥
Thank you.z
Boiled potatoes are 77% water. I love fish pie, one of my favourites, I will have to copy Jim's recipe sometime.
Delicious isn’t it. 😊
Wonderful, I love fish pie, thank you very much, John, Jim & James. Greetings from Cyprus. 🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍
Greetings Jacqui. 😊
Hi jacqui😊😊👨🍳
@@jamesspargo7821 Hi lovely. 😎😎
Sauce gribiche pairs beautifully with grilled fish and asparagus - if you like an egg / fish combo.
Wonderful.
That was probably the most labor intensive meal I've seen on this channel. It looked absolutely amazing !!! every time Jim is cooking I learn something new And I consider myself an excellent chef well done Sir well done.
From sea to plate. 👌🏻
Thank you James 😊
@@jamesspargo7821 You're Very Welcome Mr Jim.
I’m a rubbish cook and fisherman, I love your catch and cooks, wouldn’t have the patience for it though. 😀Excellent video John. 👍
Well I hope they teach you something.
Thank you Bill😊
I can not say that I have ever had a fish pie. After watching this I would love try it.
You certainly should.
I
one more time, I sense a Cookbook in the works.
😊
@TheFish Locker… FINALLY TH-cam got the message, this video was 5th in the pile of videos to watch today. No more missed vids. Great lesson on cutting a good fish well! Yum, now I want to come visit LOL.❤
Glad you got to us in the end. 👍🏻🔪🐟
When you landed it it almost looked like our sturgeon , but also like an eel . Love the cooking part of your content even Sparko 👍
Thank you Roger.
MUST give it a try! Thanks Spargo Jim 👍🐟🥧
Be sure to let us know how it goes 😊👍🏻
Chef Spargo this looks incredible 😋 bloody hell you guys this is the best partnership
..you catch it John and he cooks it
Both sharing what we love doing. 😊👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker looks delicious 😋 thanks I’m starving now lol
The way forward 😊😊
Hi John,
Great catch from on boat and took note on the fish preparation and skinning, and that was a propper fish pie Jim made, plenty to eat and looked a 5 star pie indeed. The potatoes did actually look like fish scales. Thank you for your post 🤝🇬🇧🦞,,,,,
PS, a potato is around 80% water and jelly fish is around 95%,,,, this makes me look intelligent but I will let you know Siri gave me the answer 😂
Haha. So I was close with the Jellyfish.
@@TheFishLocker yes you were extremely close 👍
I'm envious and drooling here.
👍🏻🎣
Hey guys always a pleasure to see Jim the food looks delicious 😋 loved the video John and James gets more handsome everyday
Haha. He gets it from me. 😬
Thank you for your lovely comment Dawn😊
Nice filleting job ! Superb eating fish. Very quiet and water cold in the Solent area but it's all downhill towards Easter . Stay safe .
It’s always a hard time of year mate. 👍🏻
Wow! Jim certainly is a Master.
I agree.
I have never had fish pie. And to be honest it didn't sound good, but after watching.. Yep, mind changed. Looked delicious! Also it was a pleasure to watch someone with knife skills, a lot of times watching people prep food I cringe at the way they are cutting. I'm always waiting for them to cut themselves. You both handle your knives well. I could relax and watch instead of being anxious the whole time. haha
Thank you. If you take satisfaction from seeing skilled knife work you should have a watch of our fish filleting video. My friend is a professional and demonstrates many species of fish. 👍🏻🐟
Your videos and variety of content this winter have been fantastic John! I can only imagine how much planning you have put into it.
Literally hours and hours mate.
You can have a fishy on a little fishy,you can have a ling cod when the boat comes in🤣🤣,that looked absolutely awsome,Jim is brilliant,he needs his own cooking channel,as always another outstanding vid John 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He has this channel, why would him having his own make any difference? 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker more content🤣 I think there is a lot of people out there who would love to see him make a daily,he’s a true gent and is very camera friendly, plus he is an awsome chef🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻proper canny bloke😁
I really only get to fish from the shore and don't tend to see ling for sale around here (probably because the supermarkets have closed the fish mongers down) one I've always fancied trying/catching.
Good info as usual 👍🏻
Any white fish is usable. 👍🏻🎣
Another great cook up my mouth is watering after that. The recipes Jim comes up with are worthy of a cook book. 👍👍
I think so too. 😊
👨🍳😀
John you have the knife skills of a surgeon. Enjoy the fish pie.
Thanks Mark. 😬🔪👍🏻
Another amazing catch and cook video , and bet it smelled beautiful in his kitchen .
Wonderful. 💙😊
And he’s done it again ……just had my evening meal , and watching a catch & cook by John and Jim 🤟….feel hungry again now 😂
Jim you could cook beans on toast and I’d watch you cook it . Another cracking video John 👌
Haha. Jim has never made anything I haven’t enjoyed eating. 😊👍🏻
Thank you for your lovely comments 😊
Great video on how to sort a ling. Some nice fish pie there John and all credit to Jim for cooking it.
Jim did a wonderful job didn’t he. 😊👍🏻
Amazing video and it makes me glad I'm about to go to the supermarket, because you've made me REALLY want some fish. I can almost smell that delicious looking meal.
This really was delicious. 😊
😊
That old school fish pie brings back memories I can almost smell and taste it , Good skills mate , Great team effort.
It is our pleasure 👍🏻🎣
Thank you 😊
Another fantastic recipe from Jim that I'll have to try, will have to use fishmonger fish though. Really great section on how to fillet a ling, you're extremely skillful, unfortunately not many of us have access to a fresh whole fish. Personally I find it easier to do the skinning with the skin side uppermost.
I swear that James gets bigger in each video! and he's so well these days.
I hope the king filleting demo helps folks out.
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
Thanks Jim. This was totally new to me. 🇺🇸
I hope you found the video informative Roger. 😊
Hi Robert, hopefully you’ll get to try it 😊
Looks lovely. Each to their own. For me leave out the eggs and slip a few peas and sweetcorn in there. If I do one with mash. I grate a little Parmesan on top. Making that roux is simple but has to be right.
I’d enjoy the peas and corn but it’s a big NO on the Parmesan. 🤣
I find ling hard to fillet as it rolls about as I’m doing it and very slippery with a lot of bones but cod no problem with a v notch learn new things everyday with going from the belly and doing the tail separate plus the pie looks lovely we will hopefully be back out on the wrecks next month when the compound opens for the season and get some fish when the weather lets us😁top video again John thank you
I hope the filleting demo helps folks out. 👍🏻🎣
1 of the best channels on youtube love fishlocker.
Thank you very much William. 😊👍🏻
Thanks for another Spargo's! Ive never had fish pie. I bet it's heavenly. That was a thumper of a ling as well. Best to everyone 🔱
You need to try it mate. Proper comfort food!!
I will for sure!
Thank you for your lovely comment Stu😊
Looked great. We used to put a store bought puff pastry on top but I like the potato idea. Next time we sing the Wild rover!
Interesting. 👍🏻
That looked stunning mate. Made a great fish pie yesterday. Loads of different fish. Taste was amazing!! Had to have seconds haha! Well done Jim, great recipes !! Cheers mate❤
It is our pleasure Graham. 😊👍🏻
👨🍳
That was a meal and a half, both dishes had my mouth watering. Potatoes are one of my favourite sides in any form & Jim smashed both forms. He mentioned fish cakes & scotch eggs, so here’s hoping. Thank you everybody & take care in this foul weather.👏👏👏👍
I shall see if we can’t do videos on both. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker it was just a thought as the weather is tough for fishing, Jim deserves a bit more coverage, he's fantastic 👌❤️
Thank you for the lovely comment Stephen 😊
Hi John , How you doing ? Always love the cooking parts, especially when its one of my favourite dishes, and it was great to see how to break down a Ling.
Watching your young one there made me laugh, when trying something at the table, when I was at his age , you had to eat it all even if you didn't like it lol, it wasn't to bad for me as the only things I didn't like where Brussel sprouts, Marmite, and rice pudding or as I called it frog spawn with milk , YUK LOL. My middle brother on the other hand was a fussy bugger lol and always in trouble at the dinner table, as my dad had the old fashioned view, that you do not leave the table until your plate was clean. We did get our own back on my dad when I was about 12, he had taken the left over chicken and the carcass, broke it up and chucked a load of veg in the pan, got it to boil and left it on a slow simmer and yes it smelled fantastic, every now again he would go to check on it, 5pm comes around and he shouts DINNER, we all sat at the table waiting be served, and we are all hungry my dad looked proud as punch at what he has achieved ,its served out and we have some nice crusty bread to go with the broth, my mum and my two younger brothers swallowed down some broth and there eye's start to widen lol and I am tucking in it and looking at my dads face as he goes for the second and then the third spoon full of broth an he starts to go bright red and then starts to sweat a lot then his mouth starts opening and shutting like a gold fish. then my mother pipes up Frank what the bloody hell have you put in this broth ? lol and he said I added some dry chilly flakes to it but I could taste to much so I added some more, my mother said how much more and he said 2 spoon full, my mother, what tea spoons, and then went on to say that is way to much, my dad then said oops and started laughing , mom said what you laughing at ? as she went to make something else and he said still laughing not tea spoons they where table spoons and she just looked at him with a open mouth, then we all started laughing, but then he stated to get up with a full plate in is hand and as I was still eating, I said, you have not finished your meal and as I smiled at him while I was still eating then my mother chimed in support then my two brothers, yes you have to eaten it all up before leaving the table, I'll give his due he gave it a good go lol, I had seconds that day, yes it was damned hot but I quite liked it, but he never did the you stay at the table speech again lol. What rationing did to my folks lol .
James ate a meal before we started cooking. You see him finish it. So he was simply trying the fish pie.
👨🍳
Great family video.❤️
Jim cooks some amazing dishes.😲
My culinary skills are zero.🥺 Like others, I was glad of the advice on how to boil an egg.🤣🤣
Thanks to you all for sharing.👍
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Haha. You are welcome.
👨🍳
I love and hate the Spargos episodes in equal measure.
I llove the food Jim cooks, but I hate the fact I’m not there eating it 😂
Haha.
Saaaame
Fantastic , good to show how to process your catch and Jim's tip on freezing fish bits is excellent for these days
Nothing goes to waste. 😊👍🏻
😊
One of my favourites, yum. shame my family isn't big into fish or I would cook it more often. Keep up the good work , great channel.
More for you I guess. 👍🏻🎣
Now that white sauce is the bomb ‼️
Definitely going to make that 👍🏻
I agree. 👌🏻
A great start for so many dishes 😊
Always good to see what Jim comes up with, 😋
Jim’s wonderful isn’t he. 😊
When you thaw it out do you leave the worms In, or do you pick them out and it’s good to see Jim again doing what he does best, making us hungry.
If you can see them pick them out, if you can’t.. out of sight out of mind. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker ahh okay and P.S tell Jim I love his socks I have a pair similar but mine are blue
@@TheFishLocker ahh okay and P.S tell Jim I love his socks I have a pair similar but mine are blue
Great catch!! Yes indeed that’s real beautiful Comfort Food, make’s my mouth water. Yummy 🎣👍
We love it. 😊💙
As soon as I saw the size of that Ling head I thought of fish head curry. Give it a try Jim you won't regret it. 🍽️
Just watched Hazey cooking up a steak in the woods, then this pings up. Happy days. 👍
Paul’s a good lad. 👍🏻
That first piece cut away was a great fillet on its own - and it was just the beginning! When I first heard you talking about ling, I thought it was the same as Pacific lingcod. Quite different, but also big.
Yes. Similar but different species. 👍🏻
What a perfect meal for a cold day! The base could be used for so many soups, an excellent lesson that one. I could almost smell this lovely dish! Thank you Mr. Spargo and Fish Locker Family. Have a wonderful, and hopefully warm, week.
Wonderful yes. Warm. Highly unlikely.
Thank you for your lovely comment Julianne 👨🍳
love the catch clean and cook vids. its a good way to show people what to do with the fish we all catch.👌👍
I hope the videos help folks out.
😊
@@jamesspargo7821 I love watching You cook my friend it’s inspiring 👌🏻
Yes. I finally get to see a ling prepared. ❤ Another great video.
There are 4 other videos I think showing ling being filleted on our channel. 👍🏻🎣
Wow that looked amazing. Made my mouth water just watching. Nice one Jim and what a whopper that ling was John 😊😊
It was a good one wasnt it!!
Thank you for your 😊lovely comment

Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
I love catching Ding a Ling a Ling, 180 miles off shore on the Cheiftain on the dogger bank 2 of us stopped cod fishing and baited traces, it was one ling after another, 14 Stone's worth, everyone was eaten.
John Brennan?
Love these cooking shows
Thank you.
Another culinary delight Jim, it looked amazing, once again John appreciate your efforts mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks bud. 👍🏻
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
@@jamesspargo7821 more than welcome
Absolutely 1000% fresh fish dish,wow. Respect 💯🍀👍🔥😉
Fresh fish is best. 😊👍🏻
one thing to catch a good fish another to fillet it proper ,so much talent on the water and off ,great vid as always thank you
I hope the filleting demo helps folks.
@@TheFishLocker you make it look so easy ,I can make a makeral look like a fish finger ha ha ,
I haven't been able to get out fishing so far this year 😔 and have shamefully bought fish pieces for making a fish pie. Working on adding more fishing stuff to my kayak again soon. One thing I want to add to my collection is a cold smoker.
You just do what you can. We all know how busy life can be. 😊👍🏻
Bloody love Jims cooking!
He’s wonderful isn’t he. 😊
Always love when you cook with Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊👍🏻
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
💜💜💜 There are literally no words for how much I love this video, thank you! If you're not too busy, there is another TH-cam channel I adore called "Vincezo's Plate". The scene in your video reminds me of when Vincenzo reacts to Gordon Ramsey's pasta dishes with so many peas! I also love frozen peas, but he's funny as an Italian, especially when he gets mad! 😂 A wee bit of acid, for a rich creamy sauce like that goes a long way (Worcestershire too, secret weapon). I worked with a young lad from Tibet, who taught me you can clean your teeth with lemon. Sounds counter-intuitive but it works! I am half Scotts myself, and a good Scotch egg is wonderful! It's a tricky delicate thing. My poor husband, yesterday, bought some Veal breaded from our local butcher that was NOT good, poor guy spent around $50 CD and I refused to let him even taste any of it. It is now in what we call the "organic bin". Oh well. Thanks again for your video and hail from across the pond in Canada!
Haha. I do enjoy frozen peas with food. Cooked of course. 😬😉
Thank you for your lovely comments 😊👨🍳
Lovely pie. Wonderfully cooked....
Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊
Thank you Jim, And John.
