Omgosh Alison growing up I heard of the Fairs, but I never knew anyone who actually went to the Ren. Fairs. But I lived next to Ojai Calif. which is basically a year round Ren Fair. This is yet another side of you!
I took a friend to the market we bought the whole fish. We made things with it. I don’t think she will ever repeat the process again. I’m adventurous in the kitchen. I love eating. Love cooking. Love watching home movies 😘 I would grill a whole fish but my condo won’t allow a grill. No lie!🙌🏻🍷🐠
I honestly am so thankful for you, for your recipes and this series. I quite frankly can't believe this kind of information and entertainment is free for us! 😍 P.S : Love the amount of herbs omg!
You're the first American I've ever seen eating flesh out of fish head. I appreciate you show how great tasting and meaty fish head is. Very educational showing how to enjoy fish as a whole.
@@The_Beast_666 I am an American and I just want to show appreciation to her that she awakens there are chunks of tasty morsel that is missing in every pieces of fish filet in the supermarket.
It's very common in the states. it's not "restaurant style" unless you go to an ethnic restaurant, but it's very common among southern cultures and within our immigrant communities.
It's winter here I'm Australia. But I'm going to be grilling fish so I can have my summer moment with you! Love love LOVE your casual nature and easy going recipes. They make me feel like I can achieve anything ❤️
I just love how much personality the video has just by the way it’s edited! Also Home Movie Tuesday is like the good old times waiting for a whole week to watch a new episode 😍♥️
I was a "late bloomer" to the olive world and now I have no idea how I went so long without them in my life. Cucumber and olive? Never would have crossed my mind but now I'm intrigued by the "mash up". This is why I admire your talent.
Excellent video as always. Can't wait to try everything. I usually like to crush my cucumbers by telling them they will never be good enough to be pickles.
Everybody waits for Home Movies every Tuesday. Everybody loves seeing you cooking on every Tuesday. I loved the fish and all of the sides to go with. Fish is always the answer to what to cook and is so tasty and light and perfect for a summer meal.Thank you, Alison, you are my favorite!! Yes l will grill a whole fish. Maybe a tuna or salmon. Maybe both.
I am also a longtime “whole fish” aficionado, and hope this converts others!! Seriously it’s the most high impact for low effort dinner party main in the world
Omg, I live in Helsinki and I was walking in my hallway and looked out the window and saw my neighbor was watching your videos on TH-cam on the tv! We love you out here! ❤️
I want to THANK YOU for inspiring me to use more HERBS. I now buy multiple parsley and cilantro bunches and use them every day, in salads, overtop meats, fish, you name it. You're the best. Thank you, Alison for sharing with us each week, Q. for you- can you share what one gets for your paid subscription, and how it is renewed? What is your cancellation policy, etc? I could not find that anywhere....
I’m gonna be rewatching this like crazy lol 😂. And I looooove olives I have them tatted on me along with some other randomness. In a perfect world I’ll add okra to the piece one day. Any way this video made me happy lol. Thanks for the recipe and hilarious video.
I love olives too, but my husband does not. I've tried forever to get him to like them, but he doesn't, so when I cook, I rarely use them. Maybe, you have to grow up eating them, not sure. I just got one of your books for my birthday. My sister asked me what I wanted and that's what I asked for. Thank you so much for your videos and books:0)
I used to despise olives until my husband and I went to an Italian restaurant and they served freshly toasted crispy fluffy bread with finely chopped olives in olive oil. I thought they were mushrooms for a year! I now tolerate it on pizza. My mom also made a Middle Eastern lamb in gravy that had preserved lemons and olives, and it made the olive taste milder.
I've always loved what you do with the fish. I wish we took photos of that whole red snapper you made a few weeks back at the house. The lemon sauce is also now a stable that crosses over to other dishes.
Excuse you, the man in the background. I live for the gibberish! 😂 Could you also show us how you clean the grill? I love cooking with them but I hate cleaning them
It’s almost scary how timely your videos are. Literally last night I told my husband I wanted to try grilling not just fish but specifically branzino. Same thing happened to me back in April/May when I wanted to make strawberry shortcake, and with eggplant parm. Crazy relevant recipes! And your take on these dishes is always delicious! Thank you! Can’t wait to try this one!
Branzino tastes beautiful oven roasted as well! A hack that I learned is that you can "stand" up the fish on its belly by balancing it with lemon wedges or cherry tomatoes so that both sides of the fish get crispy while cooking.
I’m going to grill fresh trout (no lie) and make the sides. Leaving my farm of 22 years in a few days and will say to friends: going fishing (no lie), as I will have all the time in the world to fish, and cook for friends.
Definitely making this whole ensemble once I get my hands on a whole fish! Stopped mid video and attempted to locate some in my town, the next town over, the county fishmonger to no avail. So sad 😞
Slightly hungover following my birthday festivities (got both your cookbooks for my birthday as requested), I braved my local 'Seafood City' to buy my first whole fish to make this for dinner last night. It was just as special as you described so thanks for inspiring me and pushing me outside my cooking comfort zone. My boyfriend is a Chef and originally from NW France so he grew up eating whole fish and way more "exotic" things than I did growing up in Texas. Bonus: I feel cool & now have leftover orzo, tomatoes and cucumber salad for lunch today.
I love grilling fish. I usually add an onion, pepper, zucchini, corn on the cob, etc. Everything on the grill. It's easy clean up and the flavor is great.
@Sophia Ortiz OMFG IKR!!!!!!!! I can finally read people's faces!!! I don't know why your comment doesn't have like a million likes and a thousand replies already!!!!!!
I’m Italian and when you said “orzo” and you brought the pasta I was so confused...because we called orzo barley and I was expecting a barley kinda salad...only Barilla can called a type of pasta orzo for the shape 🙈🤣
This is why I love Alison. After a day spent discussing Canadian tax policy she takes me to a Barilla shore lunch. Nothing tops grilled whole fish. Alison to show my gratitude here's a classic Roman song: th-cam.com/video/GuB3f70cYnM/w-d-xo.html
Reminds me of Keith Floyd wrapping a lemon-and-thyme stuffed trout in newspaper, wetting it under the tap and then into the oven until the newspaper is dry signalling that the fish is done. "I use the Times," he would say between sips of wine.
We have the same grill - Can't live without it! In the winter its the first path cleared - Seasons don't and should not matter when you have a grill. 🥂
Alison! Thank you so much for teaching us how to cook and how to LIKE to cook, rather than demonstrating how to follow a recipe. I watch every episode even if it's something I'm not planning to make because I learn so much every time that I can apply to other things I invent in the kitchen. Please keep making home movies forever.
Love Home Movies, but I miss the bright and vibrant color tones. Everything looks kinda beige lol I totally thought the tomatoes were potatoes. Forever a fan regardless
Your recipes are always awesome but I especially love the amount of interaction with the crew, it makes it feel more like you are just having us over to hang
Well, this looks MAGNIFICENT. If I can figure out why my danged grill won't start, I'll be grilling my first whole fish soon. You mentioned doing this in the oven... if so, time and temp? Thanks for your awesomeness.
We have great fish here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s fresh, it comes from clean cold waters. Thank you for this video. I’m sending it to my daughter to introduce her to your videos and remind her she’s getting salmon tonight!
I love the fish on chili oil, the citrus chicken to die for but!!!!!! the pasta salad big disappointment to salty capers do not blend well with the rest of the mushy vegetables sorry everything else is very good.
I had always wanted to grill a whole fish but was way intimidated, but thanks to this video I've made this exaaaact meal many times now, including the day after this video came out...I had immediate confidence after watching, woo! It's really the best, everything goes together so well. I'm making it again tomorrow and just can't wait. Thank you for your recipes!!
Hey! I'd love to try this since I.ve recently been experimenting with frying whole fish till its crispy and then adding a lemon butter sauce on top (mostly cos I'm obsessed with the opening scene of Julie and Julia!) but I think grilling would make it so much lighter and more healthy! My grill doesn't have a cover so can I try this on a regular grill pan on my stove top? Will the fish cook properly from within if its not covered?
Hello ash40248. I love Julie and Julia. What an inspirational movie. This is one of Ms Roman’s best videos. As for your question about your indoor grill and what I’m about to suggest to you would probably work for both grills. I suggest that you use a metal 9 by 13 baking pan as your cover. Of course you will need to use tongs and mitts to lift the cover up during grilling time. I would use it on an outdoor grill to avoid the smoke and smell that would be created using your indoor grill. It I’m not a grilling expert. It that seems like it would be a successful hack. Enjoy grilling your fish!
Hello Alison and associates! I love your enchantment with Renaissance Faires. What a refreshing video. I am going to try this technique with branzinos. So healthy and so were the sides. I was surprised how touched I felt when you were sitting out in the rain and waxed nostalgic about everyone deserving this experience. Diana Ross and the Supremes 🎊 it is so obvious that these videos reflect your true personality. Thank you. Many blessings to you.
So it’s ok to touch raw fish and dip into the salt and then use the salt later for tomatoes? Not asking to be snarky I was taught never to cross contaminate any raw meat with other things
@XYZ salt inhibits the growth of some bacteria, but there are also plenty of bacteria that do survive in salt. That’s why lactofermented pickles are possible.
Omg, I felt so seen when the blurb about the pot boiling over came up 🤣. My nerves were ramping up til then...then I laughed way too hard. Thanks for that and the great recipe!
Thank you for watching! Are you going to grill a whole fish this summer? Lie to me and say you’re going to!
I'm gonna grill two! I'm an overachiever lol
Omgosh Alison growing up I heard of the Fairs, but I never knew anyone who actually went to the Ren. Fairs. But I lived next to Ojai Calif. which is basically a year round Ren Fair. This is yet another side of you!
grill four!!!
I contain multitudes

Alison! You’re here😩Thank you for providing a much needed respite from this fresh hell of a Tuesday❣️

Your recipe seems good. May I know why you have not cut the tail ?
Hello, how are you doing?
Excellent video as always. Can't wait to try everything. I usually like to crush my cucumbers by telling them they will never be good enough to be pickles.
Hi Alison, have you been to the new Sahadis in Industry City? Going to walk down there for some preserved lemons thanks to you. 😀 Eric

Excuse you, the man in the background. I live for the gibberish! 😂
Could you also show us how you clean the grill? I love cooking with them but I hate cleaning them
I grew up eating steamed whole fish with sesame oil and scallion, and it was amazingly tender and flavorful.
the color looks weird, like its washed out. Everything looks yellow or brown
Hi Alison, looks amazing!! Pls make a fish fry video using SRR masala powder..👌
Just for you Alison, I will go find some gas for my grill, clean it, and grill a dang fish
Grill a dang fish!
you won't regret it!!!
It’s almost scary how timely your videos are. Literally last night I told my husband I wanted to try grilling not just fish but specifically branzino. Same thing happened to me back in April/May when I wanted to make strawberry shortcake, and with eggplant parm. Crazy relevant recipes! And your take on these dishes is always delicious! Thank you! Can’t wait to try this one!
Same thing happened to me with carbonara and zucchini pasta salad! Spooky.
Also I am in support of an “on location” series!! Vlog style! I don’t think Allison would ever agree but I’d definitely watch!
Would love to hear about your trip to Greece. We had some of the best food ever when we were there a couple of years ago.
Branzino tastes beautiful oven roasted as well! A hack that I learned is that you can "stand" up the fish on its belly by balancing it with lemon wedges or cherry tomatoes so that both sides of the fish get crispy while cooking.
Hemingway tells us to distrust adjectives but in Alison's videos, they work pretty well and usually come in triplets.
I have been waiting since last week's post. Super excited.
Please take us to the farmers market with you sometime and tell us how much you buy for one for a week!
I’m going to grill fresh trout (no lie) and make the sides. Leaving my farm of 22 years in a few days and will say to friends: going fishing (no lie), as I will have all the time in the world to fish, and cook for friends.

I made your grilled corn salad and it was so good. I’ll always make that. I used the Inka corn chips and pumpkin seeds.

I always learn new things whenever Alison uploads
This is a totally cheap comment considering the genius of this vid, but .... I MISS your onyx ring!! 🙃😆
Gotta love the petty “primer” cutscene lol
I’m Italian and when you said “orzo” and you brought the pasta I was so confused...because we called orzo barley and I was expecting a barley kinda salad...only Barilla can called a type of pasta orzo for the shape 🙈🤣
Alison should just marry a lemon. I watched three of her videos and lemons, lemons, lemons.
frank, I would if I could!!!
@@alisoneroman Awesome videos! I'm hooked!
what about poor old dill !

Where are your wooden cutting boards are from (both round and rectangular)? They’re gorgeous!
I will literally never make fish, but I'm still watching
Ahh you were so missed, thank you for another wonderful video!
Am I the only one who was shooketh when she low-key slid in the fact she holidayed in Greece?

Ok now I definitely going to get that fish spatula!
Hello, how are you doing?
I once had several Negronis at a dinner party and proceeded to eat the eyeballs from a whole branzino on a dare. The end.
Yesss Alison whole fish with bone in!!! I love grilling fish. It’s quick, effortless yet gorgeous and tasty!
I live in Northern California, they used to have the best Renaissance Fairs in the foothills east of SF.

check the battery. We had this problem and we did not even know that the charger had batteries lol
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN ALSO BUY THAT MOSAIC PLATE THAT SERVED THE TOMATOES !! It’s like a dire need I need that.
This looks glorious!
After using half a bottle of olive oil:
Hey, this could really use some more fat - let's bring out the Feta cheese 😂
IT'S A WHOLE FISH
We have great fish here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s fresh, it comes from clean cold waters. Thank you for this video. I’m sending it to my daughter to introduce her to your videos and remind her she’s getting salmon tonight!
SHE and all her friends (sorry Luv). Good job anyhoooo! real nice. clap, clap, clap.
You have a great personality! I loved watching this video. You're funny.
Just made some preserved lemons...so easy, I love them!
I love the fish on chili oil, the citrus chicken to die for but!!!!!! the pasta salad big disappointment to salty capers do not blend well with the rest of the mushy vegetables sorry everything else is very good.
Note:
Bronzino now sold in the USA is a farm raised fish. Some folks think that's an ecological boon. Some think it a disaster.
I know you know your food when I see you eating that fish head 😍
Finally, our savior every tuesday
Every other Tuesday*....she’s cutting back on episodes.
I was thinking about this for our small Christmas dinner and then branzino was $19/lb so I’m smoking ribs instead
Okay, this is the best copy show I have found on TH-cam! Your so cute and funny!
You’re my favorite cooking channel .
I like your cooking a lot, you have tremendous food sense, but I wish that you would use a lot less salt.
Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. When you eat food with your family and friends, it always tastes better! Love from Korea🇰🇷💕
Can the next recipe be for "The best egg breakfast sandwich"?
Hello, how are you doing?
To me, this will always be Alison's Thanksgiving Shirt 😀
haha now its the grilled fish shirt?
Y’all better go to the ren fair as soon as it’s safe and stuff! I can see you doing a video on a ren fair picnic
did miss thing put the fish back into the dirty fish tray 😭🤚🏼
No one tells Alison to stop her gibberish. It’s HER show!!
Is grilling on the street outside my apartment legal? Asking for a friend
your *new* apartment 👀
@@alisoneroman don’t tell the super 👀
baloney bench scraper is actually a great idea now that I think of it

So it’s ok to touch raw fish and dip into the salt and then use the salt later for tomatoes? Not asking to be snarky I was taught never to cross contaminate any raw meat with other things
I just always assumed they edit out the handwashing because it’s boring, but you do make a decent point.
@XYZ salt inhibits the growth of some bacteria, but there are also plenty of bacteria that do survive in salt. That’s why lactofermented pickles are possible.
