Nice to see fish soup being prepared. I am from Russia, and our fish soup is very common. There are many varieties of this soup made from different types of fish. I want to tell you how I usually make a simple soup from the head (or tail) of salmon. To do this, you must first remove the gills. If the gills remain, the soup will taste bitter. Then put the head of the fish in cold salted water and slowly bring to a boil. This produces foam. The foam must be removed so that the soup is transparent. When the water boils, add the onion. It is not necessary to chop the onion into small pieces. Place the onion, cut in half. Cook for 20 minutes. Then add some garlic and black pepper. Cook for another 5-10 minutes. The soup is ready. Such a soup - only made from fish and onions - is called "ukha" in Russian. Only broth is eaten, boiled onions are removed. You can add fish chunks to the soup 5-10 minutes before cooking is complete. This can be done, especially if you have several varieties of fish. It is necessary to cook broth from small and low-value fish, and add pieces of large and valuable fish at the end. So that small bony fish, for example, perches, ruffs, roach, do not contaminate the broth with bones and their fragments can be cooked wrapped in cheesecloth.
Thanks for sending that along! Great to hear about how others do it and will definitely be trying it as soon as I can get the fish heads. I’ve always liked trying new things from different cultures
Wow. Thanks for the recipe. I will try it with my family.
Erin is one hell of a bro. I'd never give away a salmon like that
Sometimes i think its the best tasting part of the fish plus fish eyes help me alot with my dry eyes .
Some of my friends will argue that the cheek is the best meat on the whole fish. I must say that your fish head soup looks much more appetizing than the fish head soup that Zach of 'Fowler's Makery and Mischief' makes.
I think id agree with them they are quite good. 😂 I suppose this is a bit less of a survival food maybe i'll make it for him some time see what he thinks
@@MainelyOutDoors Nothing better than frying up a bunch of Walleye cheeks in butter and garlic after hammering them all day on the lake.
Been doing this for years. Two or three Salmon heads In a instapot a couple Tbs fish sauce 1/4 vinegar handful of Thai chilis,wood ear mushrooms
My hot and sour soup
Her initial reaction was SUPER cute...🗣YIIKES😂❤
The Soup looks great! My Wife is originally from Singapore and loves to eat Fish head Soup. Its very popular in Asia.
We went deep sea fishing for Haddock & Cod a few years ago. At the end of the trip they hastily filleted the fish and wasted a ton of fish. In particular they were throwing back giant Cod heads, with lots of meat on them.
I wonder why we in the west are so finicky. I am sure a few generations ago people did'nt waste fish heads.
My X mother in-law was poor as a child. She said that when the rich people came in the summer none eat lobsters that people had the mind set these were trash and not fit for eating. This was a long time ago and how things change. When we hunted or fishing we eat every thing of that animal nothing was wasted.
gunna have to give this a shot
Great video. Not the way we do it in the caribbean. But you made that look soo good i will have to try that with one of our local fish.
I'd love to hear how you do it down there maybe I can give it a try some time
beautiful plating.. i can smell the umami through the screen
Can’t say I’ve ever wanted to try fish head soup until now lol
Why
@@heywoodsamuel4840 because he takes the time to show you how to do it and does a great job at presenting it. The soup looks amazing and delicious.
At first I thought it was disgusting but the finished product looked fantastic. Those knives looked high quality too.
Too bad you couldn’t have tried it. It tasted great too!
I have used heads and bodies for fish stock for many years. Great video🍻
Nice for south east asian curry, tomatoeish hot sour broth, spice soup
Looks great to me!
Looked great I think, lots of flavor. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it
Great channel, Jesse!!
Two dishes come to mind. One from the south a 🇫🇷 France, Classic French Bouillabaisse , a fish soup. And Haggis from 🏴 . Both use bits of sheep and fish we usually miss out on. I wonder if you can make a good gulash fron Maine meat ?
have you made a clam chowder ? Or a lobtser bisque 🦞 ? Or a clear lobster soup. That is what I will try if a visit Maine.
I take my heads and body scraps and use them from crab bait
noice! pass the eyes and the šḥúčḥuč here 😭i'll eat them!
That looks absolutely delicious!!! Your GF handled that really good...lol I was assuming she'd have a look of disgust! I've gotta try this recipe! 👍
Yeah, she's been good about trying new things and me turning the kitchen into a temporary butcher shop 😂 I wasn't sure how this one was going to go but i'm glad she ended up enjoying it
My wife loves fish heads she makes me cook them on all my brookies for her I am actually not a fan of them but hey if you like it use it if not give it to someone that does great vid as usual👍🏻🍻
hey thumbs up from Lake George, NY......that looked delicious !!! * 2 things ...I would have popped those eyes out before cooking heads and saved them for bait ....and secondly....how you get 2 heads from one fish ...??? ....
Thanks! Well I actually ate the eyes but wasn’t sure if people were ready to see that and Aaron had two fish so I asked for the head of his to add it in.
Nothing going to waste!!👍
Great video. Did you end up eating the eyes too?
Heck yeah! Gotta see me deep fry a grouper head in peanut oil!
That sounds awesome! I'm a big fan of Grouper wish we had them up here
@@MainelyOutDoors I been using every part of fish since the 80s, lot my navy buds were married to filipinos , nothing went to waste except guts and scales! They wanted my left over live sardines!
We just went out, 30 sea bass and vermilions. I smoke/fry them whole so we get all that head meat!
I have huge chunk of 70lb pacific grouper I will trade you for that bad ass salmon you get! Come on down to coastal NC! haha!
Love your videos.
Glad you like them!
Nice. Next time you might want to put the racks in with the heads. The bones will add more flavor to the broth, & the meat will fall of the bones.
Good point, I decided to leave it out because I used it to make a stock for a chowder
@@MainelyOutDoors An equally good use. I haven’t tried it with salmon, but if you want to push on using the whole fish, the fins & skin of some fish fried in tempura batter are quite good. They were served like potato chips at a seafood restaurant. I confess not trying it at home though.
@@FlyTyer1948 Absolutely, I've only done it with brook trout but it turned out great! I never actually consider doing it with something bigger but I just might have to try it. Thanks for pointing that out!
I eat everything that i can bite off, all the meat skin and even eyes make for great eats
Looks so amazing! Have you ever added mirin/soy marinated eggs?
I've never made one but that would be a fantastic addition! I'll have to do that next time!
So I caught a trout yesterday. I’m attempting a fish head soup today. Then I got the end and I was like… I’m I supposed to eat or discard the head after cooking…? I’ve eaten cheek meat before but fish head soup is totally new and I’m a bit confused at the table…
💪
👍👍
Any suggestions on where to find fish heads if you don’t fish?
Ask a local butcher. I bet they would love to sell them for cheap but not many people want them.
You dude remember me I came before the bots😏
I do! 😂 welcome back !
Ahh thanks keep up great work!!
Get on the ice brookies are biting
Cooking fish heads is not a trend my grandmother made fish head soup many times I have done the same for years I am 71 now my daughter does the same my great grandmother did the same as her mother did. Salt water fish make better soup.
Dude try the Korean recipe.
Send it along and I'll check it out. Always looking for new things to try
Man, you could be a cook, if you get tired of what your going to school for. Nice job,
What is that cheeks meat called ?
I'm not sure about its specific name actually
Nice video,i like to eat salmon too my friend.plz come to my kitchen too ya.
Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
