The core that was cut from the fennel is edible,especially in smaller,younger fennel bulbs
TIL you can microwave plastic wrap
Treated shrimp if that's all you can find AKA your husband isn't a fish monger. 🙂
Why spend the money to buy extra large shrimp when you are just going to cut them in half? Save $$, buy smaller ones.
I like Gordon's beer batter fish sticks, is my favorite.
Yum! 😋 I’ll take the shrimp please!!
No joke shrimp was my favorite food until one day I ate too much and started to get an allergic reaction. So yea now it's my most hated food.
Why are the chicks so damn phat
I have never seen fennel used in Portugal! Also sea salt is what is used to cook!
Trust the Gortens fisherman.
These ladies are so darn classy❤
America's test knichen should include prices of ingredients..
I love the sound of metal spoons on shellfish..
I know that I would love this dish. I love seafood and veggies.
More easy make/easy clean recipes like the broiled shrimp please
Thought it was interesting they used table salt. not kosher salt not Dimond crystal not french fleur de sel or Himalayan pink salt filtered through the bladder of a eastern slope Himalayan tahr. Just good old plain table salt! Salt is salt all tastes the same only difference is crystal size for the most part. I wish there was a standard for recipes and I think it should be table salt. Obviously you can call for others for texture or appearance but for seasoning a standard size crystal for measurement would be great. There I said it thats my high horse.
Thank you!
Excellent 🥰
14:30 "This is a gluten-free option… And we felt like the coating wasn't ideal, but it was acceptable." Welcome to the wonderful world of gluten free options. If you have Celiac Disease or live with someone who does, "not ideal, but acceptable" is often the best you can hope for.
Horrible pop-up ads. What a shame.
Fish stick tacos? I don't think so.
Nice rendition of this dish, I'm Portuguese, and growing up with this dish, great job 😋 👍🏻
Am I confused? The title says, seafood feast? If there's only small clams and small shrimp? Is this a Boston thing to call that the feast?
People that never have eaten any Portuguese dishes before will fall in love with a bowl of Cataplana with a good bottle of Wine. 🍷
Can you cook with VEGAN Shrimps? I can't eat REAL Shrimps because I'm ostraconophobic 🍤🤮 🍤😆
Elle looked especially pretty today!!!!
Cataplana is my FAVORITE. I've even sometimes used beer instead of wine. definitely a different flavor but it still works so well
I think I know what I’m gonna make for this weekend. Might even add sardines from Porto on top.
You didn't say anything about the Van de Kamps fish sticks???????
Looks a lot like a San Francisco cioppino
Mmmm! This looks soOo good!
