bro i remember when ethan had like 10k subs i was wondering why he wasn't more popular now in such a short time dude has almost 700k. keep up the good work bro
In January I made a promise in the comments, "you'll get a million subs this year man, 100%, promise" Thank you all, everyone, for not making a liar out of me!
Just wanna say how useful and practical your videos are. In the sea of perfection obsessed channels, this is the place I can come to inorder to find quick to put together delicious meals. Thanks man!
Way to break it down, Ethan! This makes me wonder about using different starches in the batter, like potato starch, rice, etc., and how that might affect the crunch (as I have seen in other cuisines). Might make for an interesting experiment.
watching this and my 3 yr old who watches it intensivly and when you cut the sandwich and chomp it down, she says "I eat that. that looks yummy. " you did good Ethan
Less than an hour in, and this video has hundreds of likes and almost 100 comments. Ethan, your channel is one of my favorite cooking channels on this website, and I believe one of the best of all, no matter what the subject material. Keep up the exceptional work, sir! We love what you're doing on a weekly basis.
Just made this. The whole combination - fried fish, pickled onion, ginger cabbage slaw, and the Asian-flair sauce - is perfect. The batter makes the fish beautifully crispy and surprisingly takes away the fishy smell. Cleanup is pretty fast, and the ingredients are easily stored away for future use. My friend ordered seconds for dinner. Thanks much for the recipe !
Ethan im suprised you havnt had a video about making ramen yet! I feel like its right up your alley and id love to see how you do your broth and what you like to add in your bowl (im a huge fan of tempora fried shishito peppers in mine personally)
I got the notification but there was a lot of other stuff. A day later I still remembered to come back to this one video. Whenever you do something, you do it well. The baking powder is interesting. Depending on the fish you use while the corn starch is a given. I go for a shallow fry. 90% covered but the fish does not weigh itself down on the bottom. Each for their own. Your stove, your oil, your pot. The beer is more important than the flour. In the batter.. 2 minutes, turn. 2 minutes, turn. 1 minute, turn. 1 minute, turn. Done. Battered hake steaks 150g. Snoek and Kabeljou.. My secret. Cod is easy to batter bake, though most people still screw it up.
Also, alcohol evaporates faster then water leaving behind larger bubbles in the crust making it more crispy. That is why some batters are made with vodka.
I used this beer batter tech the other day to fry chicken breast, and used the teriyaki sauce from pro home cooks. Was the best crispy teriyaki chicken I've ever had. This channel has upped my home cooking game drastically in the past few months!
The best thing about your content as a TH-cam cook is the real people bites you take on the taste test. So many take vanity bites. You absolutely yeet those bites, exactly like I do. Love it.
A low-cost frozen food store in the UK has a range of “fish strips”, same as chicken strips in a range of flavoured batters; salt & vinegar, “chip shop curry”, southern fried, hot & spicy, sweet chilli, lemon & pepper, tandoori & pakora. None as awesome as yours Sir 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Just finished making this. Had to come back to the video to say you were not joking about this chili crisp- cilantro-mayo sauce! I ended up using a lemon-ginger craft beer too and hooooo boy
Oooh, can't wait to try this one!! You answered my question at the end too whether this beer batter would work with chicken.. I want to try some thighs.
I like throwing a little lemon zest and garlic powder into my batter with a piece of haddock. I find the texture of a haddock loin butterflied open is just meaty enough to hold against the frying process and won't shrink, but still light enough to get a little flaky. Assembly, I'm a simple man; sriracha mayo, basic vinegar slaw, fresh sweet onion, dill pickle or sweet gherkins on the side, toasted hamburger bun.
Hi Ethan, you could also add vodka to the batter as alcohol impedes gluten development rendering the batter less greasy. Moreover you can substitute some of the wheat flour with rice flour to minimise gluten, since gluten does render the batter greasy.
so glad to see your subs gain. I found out about you when you had about 50k. I´ve been a foodie long befor it became popular on youtube and seen the most channels and your format rocks. God speed and I will try your batter soon. I normaly use porter. Godspeed.
Quick question: how often can you re-use the same oil for frying? And, especially if you’re frying something like fish, will the flavor carryover to the next frying job?
As long as you don’t over heat the oil you should be able to get 4-5 frys out of oil. Generally anything delicate flavored should get the first fry or two (sweet things like doughnuts) then you want to do thing that don’t leave small particles like fries, egg rolls, etc. last frys should be things like fried chicken or fish that tend to dirty the oil.
Substituting some of the beer for vodka with it's higher alcohol content will make the batter turn decently more crispy as the alcohol in the vodka will evaporate quicker and add a nice deep flavor alongside the beer
I just made this, my first time cooking in deep oil. I got more oil and flour on the counter than the fish but it came out great. Second batch was a bit undercooked
This is my new favorite cooking channel, by far. I feel like you and I have the exact same feelings on food and what makes food good. I can't help but be jealous of the mustache though.
I know that frying oil can be used again, but is this really a good idea when you fried fish in it? I mean the kitchen will smell for two days at least, so I guess lots of that "aromas" will go into the oil, too, or dont they?
Not Ethan, but sparkling water/seltzer does the trick as the most important part here is the carbonation, but you can also alternatively try out sodas like Coke to also get the sugars and flavors, but it brings the risk of overwhelming the flavor balance, depending on how you prefer your dish. A compromise you can start with is a 50-50 mix of any soda and sparkling water, and then adjust as you go.
I heard that kind of batter is better if it's really cold up to the moment it drops in the hot oil, I think the temperature contrast makes it puff more and get crispier and lighter, I'm not sure but that's how I've been doing it for shrimps
Just the fish, with chips salt/vinegar and side of ketchup and tartar sauce. Also lemon wedge to squeeze over the fish to cut through batter would be perfect. Oh and curry sauce and mushy peas on side
Who cares? Our bodies don't get energy from calories. That's a lab created general value that doesn't reflect how our bodies use the three macros (each is used differently for energy so you can't give a total value that has any relevance)
Exercise, eat a vegetable/fruit, dont count calories or watch your pounds. That kinda stuffs leads to a bad mindset and terrible standards. Just be generally healthy, eat less carbs, eat a more varied diet, exercise, etc.
@@TehSuperHero hey dude. Good thing you are watching your calories if it works for you and keeps u on track you keep doing it. Donot falter to other peoples opinions okay? Now u cud try this recipe with an air fryer if u have one. That would significantly reduce calories. Next thing is finding a bun with low calories in the US i think they are easily available. The sauce wont be much of an issue. The breading that he is using is that bad. 25 grams of flour and per piece wont be that calorie dense. The batter has 50 grams but honestly only a little amount goes to actually coat it. I dont know about alcohol though so i wont tell you about that. I dont drink it or know anything about it. So maybe there is a lower caloire beer or something you will have to see that. But yeah these are all the ways i think the calories can be reduced. But u wont know how it will come out till you try.

I love how when you taste it you eat a lot of it. It makes it look even more delicious and hearing you devour it makes me wanna try the recipe out.
Just wanna say how useful and practical your videos are. In the sea of perfection obsessed channels, this is the place I can come to inorder to find quick to put together delicious meals. Thanks man!

It's absolutely criminal to not toast a brioche bun... I'll never forget this.
No

That mustache is sick. Man I can’t wait to no shave November. Going for the beeswax pringles/monopoly man stache
I also pause a moment to admire that mustache, I regret shaving so mach!
You mean no nut november for the testosterone
He looks like chloes step dad from life is strange
Eth is definitely rocking that 70s porn star ‘stache! Love it! 🕺🏼
You can handlebars I'm a month? Are you starting from freshly shaven or a partial mustache?
3:25 as Chef John would say, "Fork don't lie."
We were all thinking it 😂
I love that you do taste tests, those bites sound like heaven 😂
You know it's good when Ethan eats an entire half of something without saying anything.
If it was a toasted bun this would be perfect.

Nice.
The unfeigned enthusiasm, gnawing into the sammie.. it's heart-warming...
Just made this. Awesome! I am excited to do the fish again for tacos. You were absolutely right, it didn’t take long and clean up was easy.

Quick question: how often can you re-use the same oil for frying?
And, especially if you’re frying something like fish, will the flavor carryover to the next frying job?
With peanut oil getting so expensive is great to know we could get a few batches with the same oil.

Generally anything delicate flavored should get the first fry or two (sweet things like doughnuts) then you want to do thing that don’t leave small particles like fries, egg rolls, etc. last frys should be things like fried chicken or fish that tend to dirty the oil.

Onyo! Is that a Chef Jean Pierre shoutout?
Very similar to what we use, but we use potato or tapioca starch...looks tasty
Yayy Ethan is back!
Substituting some of the beer for vodka with it's higher alcohol content will make the batter turn decently more crispy as the alcohol in the vodka will evaporate quicker and add a nice deep flavor alongside the beer
Ethan: *forgets to toast buns for that additional crunch*
Me: And I took that personally.
There's just something so special about beer battered fish.
BOMB ASS sandwich! Thank you for always keeping it real!
Made it, loved it!
I just made this, my first time cooking in deep oil. I got more oil and flour on the counter than the fish but it came out great. Second batch was a bit undercooked

@@HopefulFlowers or just go the easy route of sparkling water and a teaspoon of sugar.

That looks immaculate, can’t wait to try this one!
I do a sriracha mayo with black garlic and shallot that would go really good on this.

Dude! Ethan! I made fish sandwiches for lunch and then I get on here and see this! Going to try it this weekend!
Ooh, a fried fish butty we call them here in England 🏴✌🏼
Looks great!
Fried fish is the easiest (and one of the best) things to make. It's just the smell - it lingers in my home for DAYS. So I only fry it outdoors.
Ethan makes a video, then I want to make whatever he makes. You should try out Taiwanese beef noodle soup… that would be so good.
Thanks for the vid
Love a good fried fish sandwich
15 seconds into the video and I’ve already gotta try this recipe
Haddock or hake are also really good fish choices
Yes
that looks delicious!
Bro!! The fish sandwich looks amazing!! 🤩
How many calories would you say adds to the fish when you bread, and fry it? Cod is very light.. Half a pound can be less than 200 cals.
