I've had a pleasure to visit Mabel's Gone Fishing last month, and the whole experience was just perfect. We were seated at the bar, and the whole kitchen was right in front of us. When I say that the team does an amazing job, it's a gross understatement - they are true artists in the culinary craft and watching them do what they do was just as much of a delight as the dishes they produced. Watching this makes me want to hop on the plane to San Diego and eat my heart out at Mabel's.
This one's for the chefs. U guys probly already kno this trick but incase u don't. If u put a flat tray over the grill upside down it will make ur grill incredibly hot after 10min. Great for charing the prawns if ur looking to increase ur hot spot. Great vid best of luck
Mabel's meticulous approach to crafting their mackerel toast is a testament to the art of balancing flavors and textures, showcasing how attention to detail in every step can elevate a simple dish to an extraordinary experience. 🍽
As you know preparing fish is worked by how you see what you’ need to do first,to ensure everyone that everything prepared right.there’s one thing you show love heart understanding,to put the best meal ever, and working with e great team.

This place looks nice! Simple food, approachable and classic flavors, good quality ingredients, etc… I mean, what more could you want from a local restaurant? I will say, though, based on this video, the portions are small, so ordering dishes like the Mussels Escabeche at $14 will quickly add up to a steep bill if you want to have a proper meal, especially if you add drinks to the equation. I’ve been to restaurants like this and it’s easy to try a lot of things without thinking too much and then get shocked with the bill afterwards.
Hm here in germany we have a different kind where you don't us pincers to put on the fish xD. Here you'd probably gather complaint for that thick of a toast under way to little fish (including at higher up places) its usual a take a way dish like a sandwich
You serve those shrimp unpeeled down here in the South East, you might as well close up shop. Of course, our shrimp are always wild caught. So there is that.
I don't mean anything by this but I fished Mackerel many times visiting family in Cornwall/Ireland in the past and most of these we'd throw back because they were "tiddlers". I hope this is just native size or local overfishing and not the actual size of mac everywhere anymore because I used to catch insane 30cm around 2007-2012
Awesome video of a hard-working team. The attention to detail is what many of these basement-dwelling, cheeto-covered negative- nancies in the comments section don't get here. Oh and stuff is expensive because everything (labor, shipping, fuel, rent, etc) in San Diego is expensive. Great spot.
bruh at least toast the sourdough bread in the mackerel's natural oil or olive oil on the grill first before putting the smoked mackerel on top. I do like the concept where this restaurant is heading tho. Popcorn shrimp needs some sizzling Hot oil Garlic Chives/Green onion chives then a little of the sherry vinegar. So they stay crispy, but packs a punch of flavors to compliment the popcorn shrimp.

@@makapa2u Aloha. Thought you were talking about Opelu/akule/halalu. Haven’t tried the ahi, but used to grill aku skeleton with some salt. Great with beer.
This, only this is great cooking. (As opposed to drape some caviar on scallops and, for the new rich expensive cheap taste, add some gold, and something small and colourful you have to delicately use tweezers for).
With the shells more or less the same, if you have very good and fresh dont cane it if you sell it evry day. Work diferent for better results. Some times less is more.
Dan is my brother in law. He recently got divorced around the time this video was recorded and since the film crew was already on set ready to go the very morning my sister broke the news to him, Dan he decided he wouldn’t let his divorce get in the way of recording this video. That’s why he might seem unusually dispassionate but I assure you, Dan is one of the most passionate not only cooks, but people I know. I wish him and the restaurant all the best. The rest of his co-workers are also some of the most driven and passionate people I know, but I’m sure you can understand they would feel for Dan as well, especially considering that they and my sister are very close as well. I hope this clears things up a bit.
Having lived in San Diego I find it very curious that there are not local fish markets. It may have something to say about global warming but also economics. I know that with the change of ocean temperatures various types of fish, like tuna, find themselves close to San Diego. I'm glad you're working with mackerel. It's an unvalued fish.
I could only stomach this poorly done clip till near the half way mark. It's very 'wordy' for lack of a better word, just way too much dry monotonous speeches from what looks like a very unhappy bunch of people trying to clobber through their shifts.

I always wanted to go here!
If only it was more affordable to live in San Diego these days
San Diegan here, heard nothing but good things about Mabel's. I've been meaning to dine in for a while but this video sealed the deal.
Looks really great, gave me some instant appetite for fresh seafood.
Now I'm hungry… Looks awesome
Oh man! The San Diegan accents! After 24 years of not living there, it’s an accent that I can’t explain, but it’s a thing.
They do all speak the same. Like the voice is a little guttural but somehow nasally. And there’s a little exhale at the end of every sentence
Here in Australia, we use those mackeral (we call them slimy mackeral) as live baits to catch much bigger Spanish Mackeral
And left overs are dog food that night for my dogs 😂.
*mackerel
It’s literally in the title, but you still managed to misspell it three times.
Good thing you're here detective.
Y'all probably serve brisket as dog food too, because that was another historically cheap cut of meat.....
@@jswjr6001 did i say slimys are bad? they are great smoked. whytf are you so angry
i love how they talk it up with something so simple
Looks like a tasty/cool place to dine. Everyone's so professional. Keep it up ✌️😂
"We really like to work the fish minimally so that we can really show off the flavor of the fresh product"
CURES, SMOKES, AND MARINATES the mackerel.
lol I ws thinking the same thing, this is a pretty heavy treatment
Thanks for saving me time of watching the video.
Japanese people say something like that too with sashimi, which actually suits such a statement.
Is not that much
😂
I think they meant less ingredients in the end

In Spain you get this for ordering a beer, comes as tapas. Probably 40 buck here, best of luck.
I hear ya 😂 and 1/2 $ if in the tin while in a park with friends on a picnic.
Wow Spain sounds expensive. That or you're terrible at sentence structure to convey meaning.

Well done guys. Good visitors to you.

“We buy a lot of Mackerel”. “Oh yeah, you guys kill it”. I guess they do.
I live in San Diego, I have to try this!!!!
Seeing that food get plated... Took my breath away 😂😂😂😂😂
What a process for the mackerel!
You have to when mackerel is the garbage of the sea
Weird comment section, lotta people down on this place (or aspects of the food). Looks pretty great to me!
Truth = 'weird' lmao. Advocating for 'positivity' doesn't make you a good person, advocating for reality/fact is (whether it's good or bad)

You're telling me a toast opened this restaurant?
disguse toast?
not even a toast. a slice of bread. they forgot to toast it.
A bunch of un-toasted mackerels disguised in human suits

Heaps of different varieties of mackerel it's not a singular species. These are slimy mackerel they're a schooling bait fish.
Every single successful restaurant I've ever seen in the US has hard-working Mexicans in the kitchen. I don't think we'd survive without them. 👍🏼💯
Every restaurant I’ve worked in (40 plus) has a myriad of different people working there. Some Mexicans good some bad. Just like everyone else
Mackerel is my favorite sushi, I'd love to try this toast!
Mackerel is a fish, not a sushi or whatever

Debearding mussels sounds like a tedious job. Props to Nacho.
They didn’t toast the bread for the “mackerel toast”?
Man only if this place was in NYC. 🥰😱🥰
Looks average bro at best and New York City is just as doomed as California.
She looks as about as fun as a trip to the dentist
The shrimp at 6:41 dont' really make sense, why deep fry them for a crispy texture and then soak them in liquid to the point they are now soggy?
You guys should try octopus a la gallega!
Fine dining bar snacks? California is just built different, I don't know how anyone can afford to pay for this.
As a European, I approve this food!
I stood up and clapped after watching this
I stood up and ate yellowtail tuna
Hmm, thought this was a video about Mackerelmore opening a new restaurant.
Why do all these cooks speak in deuchbag?
Hipster soybeans
“I don’t think anyone will be mad about it” must be the most elaborate way of saying mid I’ve ever heard.
How much oil do we need? Yes.
bruh at least toast the sourdough bread in the mackerel's natural oil or olive oil on the grill first before putting the smoked mackerel on top. I do like the concept where this restaurant is heading tho. Popcorn shrimp needs some sizzling Hot oil Garlic Chives/Green onion chives then a little of the sherry vinegar. So they stay crispy, but packs a punch of flavors to compliment the popcorn shrimp.
It's also good for sashimi😊
Uhhh...no!

What, did he say eat “shrimp heads.” I love eating shrimp heads with dishes like salt n pepper shrimp. Haha
Damn they really oversell a 5daysold mackerel served on bread that i can get anywhere from a local bakery
Bold to have old oil when ppl are filming lol
The people working and owning the place seem emotionless, i can't feel the love

@roachfreude4395 the original commenter can now take his foot out of his mouth.
Now that you know why you can't "feel the love" maybe you can express love before you judge the cooking staff.
Welcome to the food industry
Some cool stuff shown on here but toast the bread. One and only comment, toast the bread.
so simple and good. Fresh bread and sea food.
Food looks awful tbh, its like a mix of spanish food with avant-garde LA bs
Wow, executive, president.... good for you 👋 *high-end restaurant 😅
Whys it so hard to fish there and provide it to the local spots???
Before I got shot in the head, I never would've considered eating this. Now, though, I'm ma that I haven't
It they don´t toast the bread it´s a sandwich not a toast.
Grilled over a bbq simple easy.
dude..thats just tinapa 😂😂
wait but thats not toast
putting raw garlic on toast but not butter tf was that about
calling it mackerel toast when it's bread
So it’s not toast?

Tunaville and various others but you not being a local wouldn't know that
Unvalued for a reason! It's garbage
if people think you're opening a can, it obviously means the dish didnt make enough of an impact lol

"little bar snack" is gonna cost 40$
Wait.
The “toast” isn’t toasted?
WTF? 😆
This does look amazing but doesn't toast have to be bread that has been toasted?
I would probably just call this a mackerel open sandwich.
