Binging with Babish: Chilean Sea Bass from Jurassic Park

Fun fact: Chilean sea bass was nearly fished into extinction after its mere mention in Jurassic Park! That's actually not a very fun fact. That's kinda messed up. While still overfished, it can be acquired legally - while fetching a price of $30/lb. A delicious (and less expensive) alternative is black cod!

Fun Fact: If you want to sell a fish that has an unappealing name like Patagonian toothfish simply rename it Chilean Sea Bass.

Ironic that a species of fish was almost hunted to extinction due to it's inclusion in a scene regarding people discussing the ethics of bringing extinct species back to life.

I could have sworn that the shaving cream prank was gonna segue into a Dollar Shave Club sponsorship.

The sad part is that nobody took a single bite of any of their food during that part in jurassic park.

"Yo dude you got any shaving cream?"
"No I don't like the way that it tastes"
*confused in babish*
"You eat shaving cream?"
*"No, why would I eat it if I don't like the way that it tastes?"*

Babish!! We've got Babish here!! See, nobody 👍🍰

[hem]

the whipped cream is shaving cream, there’s cardboard between the pancakes, there’s a ramekin in the bowl, and the syrup is motor oil

and there’s also dish soap in the beer (thanks guys)

Can we have a Binging With Babish branded Tiny-Whisk™ ?

[Hatoflegends]

remember watching that as a kid and mistakenly believing the sweet potato was just a heap of grated carrot- this makes a lot more sense

"NEWMAN!"

Fun fact, Chilean Seabass is actually a fish called Patagonian Toothfish. It was fished to near extinction and is still making efforts to recover due to it's long lifespan and long time to be breed ready from birth.

It's so expensive because there isn't much of it left.

We need a cloudy with a chance of meatballs special

[Saimyoshu]

I watch a lot of Cooking shows on TV and YouTube and they all Sous-Vide. But for some reason, you're the ONLY one enticing me to actually buy one and use it.
Edit: And buy a tiny whisk

While Hammond wasn't necessarily 'kidding' when he said he spared no expense, he definitely wasn't being entirely truthful and thats kinda the point. Hammond spared a lot of expenses. Only hiring one programmer, for example, and then getting cheap on him. The whole thing happened because Hammond spared a lot of expenses.

Hands up if you watched Jurassic Park so many times you could recognize the dish before reading the title

"Who put this shaving cream on this pie???" Babish screamed.

His cry echoed throughout New York until it reached the waiting ear of Jerry Seinfeld. 'No, ' he thought, 'Could it be? After all these years?' His eyes squint as he mutters under his breath, "Newman..."

Elsewhere, Wayne Elliot Knight laughs maniacally.

For me, the orange stuff was always Carrot-salad.

$30 A POUND!? Oh my God, I never realized how valuable our lovely sea bass is. Like, I used to live in a small fisher town and had sea bass every day. And even though now I live in Santiago, every weekend we have fish for lunch. Very cool video Babish!

As a chilean, you don’t know how happy I am you made this, some of the ingredients you use are hard to find down here and others are a little expensive, so this is a treat for me, especially cause, you know, chilean sea bass isn’t expensive here in Chile... obviously

anyways I just wanted to tell you I love your show man, especially the basics, it got me back in the kitchen with a new spirit and recipes and for that I thank you 🤘🏼🤘🏼
