Finally fish. More fish and seafood please!

[DonPandemoniac]

Gorgeous! There is a serious lack of whole fish preparations on youtube, thanks for stepping up to the plate.

[michisixx]

LOL! I'm not a fish person and I'm still here to watch Sam cook! 😊

[ericcutler]

That was fabulous! Yes more grilled fish. I would’ve never thought of putting Japanese mayo on the fish. What a brilliant idea! Thank you once again!

March:

Meatballs and Penne in a Spinach and Tomato Cream Sauce

Sorry, all amounts from the heart. Figure it out.

Penne pasta:
Do it by the box

Meatballs:
Ground pork
Panko bread crumbs
Ricotta cheese
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper

Form into balls (I like big balls)

Sear all sides in cast iron then throw in 400° oven until 155° internal (carryover to 160° or whatever).

Tomato Cream Sauce:
Butter... Flour... Roux... Milk... Bechamel
Garlic powder, salt, white pepper
Add in marinara sauce. I bought Rao's, but make it if you want.
Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Plate it up:
Add pasta and whatever pasta water to marinara cream sauce to make it nice.
Get to simmering then add spinach until almost wilted.
Add meatballs and toss to sauce.

Garnish with green and Parm.

Enjoy.

One of the great things about living where we do. We have a place that cooks what you catch anyway you want it. They charge $10.00 but that includes sides and drink.

[sharonlong]

That is my type of food, 🇦🇺 love seafood shows. 🤤 Also love the fact that I can hear Max and Chance clearly. Great episode Sam.

[Darryl-vnji]

Sam, have to say… The videos have become better and better through the years. Give your kid and his staff a raise….! Keep up the good work all of you. Yes, this is recognition.!

[skipdavis]

we all do appreciate all you folks do for us❣💪🏻. consistent, quality production, creative recipes, all that. i also get bored with the same thing all the time, and it's also probably good nutritionally to mix it up some.

Sam, I just found your channel this past week. Your cooking is right down my alley. I cooked the onion and garlic rice the first chance I got. Then I cooked your fried rice. I just finished cooking the crack chicken. I added a can of rotel, a jalapeno, onion, and about 8" of serrano. I used a baster to remove most of the liquid before shredding the chicken and mixing. I followed you and stirred in some cheese with the bacon, then added more to the top. It's awesome. our food taste must be alike, it's got to have plenty of flavor. Since you like chicken thighs so much, add about 5 of them to a 2 lb bag of pinto beans. They're a perfect match. Next I'll make the spaghetti and meatballs, and I'll make the spaghetti. I'll continue watching .

Thank you so much for this video!! I just grilled 2 whole tilapia with your method and they came out amazing. It took about 15 mins per side at 400F to crisp up the skin and be able to flip easily no sticking. I had half chimney full of Kingstown competition charcoals plus some prob another half chimney from the previous cook and was able to cook the 2 whole tilapia plus 10 chicken drumsticks

I was watching another cooking show and the chef gave a great tip for zesting. He said when you put the fruit on top, you can not tell when you get into the white. Itt is getter to hold the fruit and use the zester on the top, then you can see exactly what you are doing. I thought it was a great tip.

If you can get your hands on some Pompano, that's the best whole grilling fish there is. They don't even have to be scaled. And there's a layer of fat under the skin that renders them sorta self-basting.

[ifyousayso]

Sam!!! I LOVE whole grilled fish esp escovitch. I’ve been saying I’m gonna make my own now here you come 😂 guess I definitely gotta make it now!

[tedbrown]

I been cooking/grilling fish my whole life! ( since a teen I’m now 60)
I especially love catching either saltwater or freshwater, building a campfire with hardwood only, season my fresh fish after cleaning and scaling, and slow cook it over my fire!…
I have also fried my catch over hot campfire coals in my cast iron Dutch oven!!! Ha

[Ve-nom]

Please post more of these fish recipes. Meat is good and all, but I feel like there is a lack of variety.
I was craving this, thank you.

[debbiestimac]

Happy weekend everyone! It's one reason we keep our grill ready all year long, no fish smell in the house. So nice in the middle of the winter, that charred, smoky flavor! 🥰

[jpbanksnj]

In the North East US, we have a Branzino E2 French Cut. Whole fish, gutted, cut down the middle AND has the inner bones already removed. Amazing product since the the bones are the worst part about eating whole Branzino.

[drob]

I have found that it is much easier to zest if you put the micro plane on top of the fruit. You can see what you are doing.

[robligeti]

Thank you for giving me the guidance to try this for the first time (grilling a whole fish), I wish I could post a picture. I followed your steps precisely, and the results were incredible. Rave reviews from my mother who LOVES whole grilled fish. I even gave it “the business” 🙏🤣
