I always soak the mussels in fresh water with sea salt to help them release any salt or grit. You skipped that step. Am I wasting my time? Would really appreciate your response.
I cooked a huge pot of Ciopinno last Christmas. Added fresh chopped fennel bulb in the sauce, simmered on low heat for 45 minutes. Covered, left in the fridge overnight so the flavour came out in full. Next day, reheat the sauce then added seafoods. OMG! It was so good. My family took the whole pot of leftover home.
Hello, from Hamburg NY!! GO BILLS 🙂
I do enjoy watching your videos, even if I don't make the dish. But I will say I have made quite a few of your dishes and Food Wishes is my first go to when I want to try something new.
No cayenne in the fish and chips?? Are lost? 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Cayenne
I have to leave out the red hot peppers. They have a habit of closing up my throat.
Good to know there is a freakishly small fork to go with the freakishly small spoon! Just needa knife and were all set!
if you put Vodka in your Tempura Batter its Crispier
DOES SERVING THE FISH WITH STEAK FRIES QUALIFY AS SURF AND TURF?
Good salmon is 'medium rare'. If it is 'medium', it is devastatingly over cooked. Here in Alaska, If it is 'medium', you just throw it to the dogs, but even they would prefer it 'rare' to 'medium rare'.
When I moved to Alaska 25 years ago, I was told 'You don't 'buy' salmon. You 'buy' a fishing pole.' Alaskans KNOW salmon. Intimately.
I made a Scallop dish with King Oyster Mushrooms that was outstanding!
There's a Vegan, AND a Vegetarian in the house! 😱
Had a hankering for mussels. After watching your video that hankering has turned into a must have. On my way to pick up a couple bags of the tasty little gems, and as always, I will ENJOY!
Chef John, you slay! Like a culinary samurai!
I always use a dry white wine for this and I save (freeze) the mussel-stock for use in other dishes where I want fish-stock.
Thank you. I know what you did. Canadians absolutely love their seafood.
I only have a yellow bowl!
Is the first video very old? Did your voice change or just different recording?
I liked the Caddyshack reference.
I'll tell you why octopus isn't more popular, it's the suction cups. Cannot handle eating anything with suction cups still attached LOL
Fish out the fish…lol Hey, what do you think Chef John did with the remaining frosty Australian lager in the large blue can? Damn straight, right down the gullet! Good on ya mate!
Omg that crunch got me
