    James is getting his chef skills going,I remember being young and cracking eggs one handed the first time , I was impressed with myself. I remember back in the 80’s ,the first time I handled Monkfish in a restaurant, I did a lot of it for a special that night , breaded them then dropped them into the deep fryer ,to color them, put them on half sheet pans with wire racks, then finished them in the oven, they were wonderful. I was hoping you would do monkfish after the first video where you were pulling monkfish in on that commercial fishing guys boat.

  • @berniecoles2337

    Yorkie puds.... Weigh an egg, just add the same amount of plain flour and milk and whisk with a pinch of salt. Heat an oiled bun tray in the oven as hot as it will go till till its smoking blue hot, then pour in the batter. It will start to fizzle and cook straight away. I leave them to cook on high for about 10 mins then turn the heat down to 200 deg until golden brown....Perfect soggy bottom Yorkies! When I was a lad, my mum used to put in meat juices into the batter from the Sunday roast and make Yorkshire Pudding in a casserole dish. Oh, those were the days of proper meat!.....

    @dyaneolafsmama5862 ปีที่แล้ว

    Back in the kitchen…I so enjoy these videos for the generational family enjoyment. Reminds me of my childhood. If Jim would like to try something different…? Add some cornstarch to the flour. It doesn’t change the flavor and helps coat anything better. For some reason it adheres to anything fried. 2-3 Tablespoons…

    I’d like to give skinning one of them a go. We don’t have them here, but similar fish. Scraping with the sharp edge of the blade, against a board, while moving the fish, not the blade, works. But no idea if it’ll work on that beast.

    We don't see much cold water fish in Florida, so my mouth is watering. We get some cod but to find haddock is rare and monkfish maybe if a restaurant has a special. Scampi is mostly shrimp and spiny lobster. Good stuff to see you enjoying the fruits of your labors. One Love from Boca
