TRASH FISH Catch & Cook: LADYFISH...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 фев 2018
- Nothing as been as numerous and difficult to fish through as ladyfish. Yes I know they make great chunk bait, but Dan from Sushi Everyday ( / @sushiwithdan ) had me swing by his house to prep up some ladyfish.
They are loaded with bones and extremely slimy but Dan showed me an interesting way to get the most yield and least bones out of this fish. Thanks again for another excellent collaboration that was pretty eyeopening.
Also some speckled trout were caught this day too!

Pretty interesting....I thought this was pretty easy to do and made a very interesting dish. If looking for meat on a regular basis this one comes along pretty easily.

EliasVFishing : Ladyfish surimi. What's not to like about inexpensive protein source? Good show. Dan is a master.
EliasVFishing this actually looks really good! Try it w/ fish sauce, Vietnamese style! In spring roll!
EliasVFishing what other fish you can do is bone fish , hears one for I learned long ago from my friends mom , what do I do with a fish that has so much bones well you scale it gut it now from the tail start to fillet up to 2 to 3 inches up toward head stop don’t cut no more next get a pie roller start up from cut roll towards tail do again but farther up toward head roll towards tail little by little you’re pushing or squeezing the meat out do again till by head an then flip fish do again same thing hope u undastand my funny kind English lol
That was a lot of fun. It’s always interesting to see people’s first response to eating Ladyfish. It’s like their mind is telling them “this is trash” but then they’re utterly shocked by how good it is. If we had more time, there are more ways to make it - Asian fish ball soup (Japanese Oden), deep fried bitesize patties, or even fish burger. Until next time!
Dan this is blowing my mind I have caught and thrown back so many of these. Thank you for sharing this.
Aloha Elias, all the local people here in Hawai'i eat Ladyfish or as we call them here 'Awa'awa (ah-vah-ah-vah) prepared in a similar way. We like to freeze them first and when they are thawed they are nice and soft. We also cut the head off then butterfly them from the back down to belly so you have a nice flat surface with the tail still attached as a handle for when you spoon the meat off. We also prepare Bonefish (O'io) and Milkfish ('Awa) in the same way sometimes mixing the flesh of all 3 species. I also prefer to add some water to the mix about 25% to 30% ratio to the flesh to make the fish cakes softer less rubbery. I'll also break a large egg into the mix. I like to add chopped water chestnuts (canned) for an added crunch. Ladyfish, Bonefish, and Milkfish all considered delicacies in the islands. They are even eaten raw mixed with chopped onions and tomatoes in a dish we call "Lomi Lomi", very delicious. I'm glad you got to try it. Remember to add some water to the mix for a more tender patty.
I am impressed! I've caught hundreds of ladyfish, they make great shark bait. Never thought of eating them. Dan is amazing!
Fun video narrated by Ray Romano. Lol
Hi, wish you all a healthy, delicious, nutritious and peaceful life. I am from India and today i bought Lady Fish for the first time along with some red snappers because they were the most fresh of all in the fish market. Lady Fish was really cheap and i had the doubt it will have many bones. So before cleaning them i wanted to do a study and your video was perfect and wholesome. Fantastic work on the fish, cooking, and the collaboration was great and the video just what it has to be: nothing more nothing less. Thank you guys.
that's the second video with dan and you guys make a great video together. It's really cool to go from catching the fish to a guy who can make something out of a trash fish.
Wow goes to show every fish when treated right is edible. We make ceviche out of carp here on the Texas-Mexico border along the southern half of the Rio grande and I've always heard good things about it.
I'm learning there is so much more to enjoying fishing then catching Fluke and having sashimi. Love the Catch and cook series!
What a great collab. Dan is a pro through and through, notice how light and airy those "fish cakes" turned out...you can't overwork the mixture, and you need a light touch while forming/frying these patties. A lot more finesse required than it appears on camera!
Dang back to fillet o fish for me then
Lol practice!
Man you got some good eyes. You're absolutely right, just a quick mix is suffice. I wonder if there are any fish up north that can be prepared the same way?
Nothing with that exact texture comes to mind...maybe bunker? haha Elias can tell you about that! I'm thinking about a pike/pickerel quenelle dish...sort of like a fluffy fish dumpling. That you can mince in the food processor tho!
@@SushiWithDan Northern fish is just as bouncy and good for this recipe
I cleaned fish on that table. I fact I live on the building to your left. Crazy
Raul Colmenero isnt that special! Cant spell or proof read for shit! Theres another fact!
@@nitrocw Isn't. Always capitalize the first letter at the start of a sentence. The only thing on God's green Earth that is worse than bad grammar, is someone trying to correct that bad grammar, and doing it themselves.
Looks delicious! Thank you so much for sharing techniques!!!
Outstanding !
Nice when something is not what’s expected
This is an amazing video! I like it! Is cool to see under-rated trash fish put into a good use.
Dan just got a new sub for that one.all the damn lady fish I've thrown back over the years I could of fed the whole neighborhood.
Yeah man, he’s got a great perspective on a lot of the FL fish!
Wow big thumbs up for Dan doing this with you. Never have I seen this method.
Because of you I enjoy fishing
Definitely an interesting approach to preparing and eating ladyfish. Never would of thought ladyfish being edible.
Learnt something! Thank you sir.
Thank u finally another catch and cook
Funny thing is, most “trash fish” don’t taste trashy at all.
Some have a different texture but the flavor profile is usually pretty decent.
Great video Elias!! keep up the great content!
I chartered a fishing boat in Ft. Meyers years ago.It was a fussy captain who insisted that Ladyfish would crap in/on his boat when landed...wanted to de-hook them himself over the side of the gunnel...we went along for awhile but he was so annoying & crabby... after a while we started bringing them on board.He ranted at us but we ignored him.He didn't speak to us for the next two hrs.He headed back at 12:00 exactly and received no tip.
Hi Elias, I just love your catch and cook videos-please keep them coming. Your channel is wonderful, informative and very interesting. By the way Elias, you look so much more handsome, younger and much better looking without your beard and with your hair cut the way you had it in this video. WOW, The change is really refreshing and a great look for you.
Elias, nice job with the video. Agree with Roger's comments on not over working the mixture to keep it light and airy. It really is amazing when you travel to other areas and see which fish are basically disrespected and considered to be garbage fish.
Oooooo boy can’t wait to see this one
Nice vid. I never thought ladyfish would be any good, so this was surprising.
Love the vids man! And Sushieveryday's channel too! These fish cakes ARE BASICALLY CHINESE STYLE FISHBALLS!
Btw these fish are great for fish sauce and seafood stock it's a mild flavor you can spoon it off and make fish patties while boiling the bones for a fish sauce to go over it it tastes amazing
I appreciate this thanks
Great vid! Know I know the secret to clean them.I would luv to try them.Hopefully someday.Thanks so much.Great dan!
Thanks! Don't forget to leave them on ice for at least a full day. It'll be easier to spoon off the skin.
Speckled trout are by far my favorite inshore fish to eat
Better than sheepshead?
Yummmm my mom makes these fish sausages, basically this minus carrot, plus a whole lot of black pepper, and sometimes minced shrimp
Looks good!
Basically surumi or cha ca. Keep up the good work Elias! Might have to bag a couple in the summer surf.
we gets lots of them here too (south east asia) and we generally dont eat them because of the bones. didnt know you could peel the meet off like that...good to know :)
My friend catch and eat lady fish..everytime i caught one i ended up using it as a bait..now im gonna have to try this..good vid..
Wow - some really intersting....
Great video 👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Great vid
Great videos man. I mostly catch "trash" fish so it's great to know I can eat most of the ugly fish I catch hahaha. Seriously I will be trying some of everything thanks to your videos.
Here in Australia we call those Giant Herring and they are top notch bait for catching Mulloway (one of the most elusive and sought-after fish you can catch in Australia), so if you haven't tried already, you should try using them as cut bait to catch some big fish.
best giant snook bait ever
Its exactly as the dude says. first time i caught them i left them two days on the fridge. my dad told me to use the spoon method and came out very very easily.
We cook choupique and gar the same way. Except no carrots. Choupique is what we call a bowfin in Louisiana. Choupique balls and gar patties are a favorite amongst lots of Cajuns
ladyfish remind me of the shad we have up north. that whole spooning the fish meat is the same technique for shad
Guy spends all day in the kitchen...comes out with a bouncy meal :D
Maaaan! It's so surprisingly good and cheap!
I wish we have in Russia some fish like that and not only dumb cyprinidae FeelsBadMan
More Trash Fish Catch & Cooks Please!
Anything fresh caught and cooked while still out fishing: We usually cut off fins, remove guts and gills, wash really good and make sure the dark blood is scrubbed out of the inside where the spine is, leave scales on (to protect fish from sticking or burning- we peel off the cooked skin w/scales and throw after). Rub inside and out with spices and salt, maybe stuff with onions and garlic and spices- then throw it on a hot grill. I mean, we dont worry bout if the fish looks like a fish when you eat it lol.
Just peel skin and throw it away, the fillet will be in front of you. Peel that off, pull the tail and it'll pull the bones out naturally and expose the other fillet.
This is how a catch and cook should go
I like these, it totally kill those septic labels that are put on most fish out there .
Very Interesting
Gotta love fish that like to jump...great o light tackle.
You can do the same thing with bone fish... delicious!
In Hawaii these are called Awa Awa and we eat them the same way...You can also prepare bonefish like this... my favorite to eat
This is actually the first fish I’ve ever caught
Elias
We plan to come down to Florida for inshore fishing
Is there any town you recommend ?
Any piers or jetties ?
Thanks very much
EV, the one thing about Ladyfish, don't overheat till it smells like canned tuna.
I get hungry watching your videos
I also caught and cooked lady fish 4 the 1st time pretty good never throwing them back lol
You can make nice fish balls with it too and then cajun boil it for good results too.
When I last went to Naples FL a few months back, I caught one. I stopped at a Peruvian place for take-out in Ft Myers and gave it to a lady there. It was not till later that I found out it was a BIG trash fish lol. But I guess it's not so trashy. As long as preparation is good, most fish are edible. Proof is right here! Btw, Eli...still living it up in Fl? If so, what's the current fishing spot?
I'm fairly sure steamed ladyfish fish balls are a commonplace dimsum item, as every dimsum place I've been to has them. They even sell them in supermarkets as ladyfish paste for a couple dollars per pound.
hagfish and shipworm stew! hagfish and shipworm stew!
with buttered barnacles and toast, tadpole toast, that is.
Lady fish make good cut bait
And they're fun to catch with how much they jump
No bread crumbs either?? It looks like a fucn veggie burger really haha great vid
Bro do you have any advise on how to properly handle those ladyfish when they are jumping off the water when they got hooked? I tend to lose them when they jump. You have a ton of great videos, keep it up bro! Wish you all the best on your vids!
Keep that line tight
If you are in florida still you should come to steve bell lake in eastman ga there are 10lb+ bass giant crappie blue gill and giant wild shiners
while surf fishing in FL I learned that they will eat anything a pompano would and they hung around the same area as pompano
I've been thinking about canning them like sardines. Pressure canned for like 90 minutes I'd think would soften the bones and make them quite edible. Idk, just a thought.
Sorry for the late comment but, hey, at least people are still watching the vid 👍 My comment is this: I've never been to the local market and asked for a wad or clump of fish meat.
For many years now, people in Hawaii have been making fish cake with bone fish. You can google for Hawaiian fish cake recipes.
Someone gave me 2 big lady fish take home. I fillet the fish and I try to scoop out the meat. But really hard this time. But why do? Should I wait for the next days so the meat easy to remove?
Wouldn't the cornstarch give it the bouncy texture?
I think McDonalds should back off the cod fish fillets and start serving lady fish!
Maged Ibrahim it's pollock they use and I'm cool with it the fileto fish is all I get
Daaaamn son u cut the beard.... it’s was looking sharp .... Definitely looks like a organic fish patty.. and when cut up it looks like a chicken cutlet....Some soy sauce and catch up to dip it in my thoughts exactly looks good over some white rice and beans
Bro I live on saint Pete beach I know exactly were y'all fillet those fish. Pretty cool though never thought I'd see somebody do a lady fish up like that.
I'm a little surprised and a little not surprised. I always thought lady fish was a true trash fish but I'm not surprised because there are people out there that will prove you wrong again and again if you say something can't be done and Dan just did it. You ought to try that with herring when you get back home or some other similar fish.
13:05 bottom right corner is the next meal 😋
We been doing this is Ladyfish for a while... It pretty much the only way to get it to taste good...
I've only seen Asians eat these fish and I guess I know why now.
True story man.... My parents been doing since I was a kid... I didnt care cause they put up a hell of a fight with light tackle as a kid... As i got older i cause smaller ones as live bait for Snooks and Reds
Hey Elias, do you think the spoon technique would work on pickerel?! Make that your next catch and cook. I love the flavor but don't keep them bc of the bones and my kids.
Honestly it’s worth a try. Keep it on ice for two days and try it.
I will. Maybe I will try to do a catch and cook on it. LOL!!! "Catch and Cook EPIC FAIL!" jk lOL
We been doing that in Hawaii over a hundred years, but our lady fish ge up to about 5' long!!
Definitely thought the same too boney and trashy fish but thought the meat would be dark like the Jack
Looks like a mullet? no? called whiting towards southern hems.matter of fact I gotta check into mullet.
In this Catch & Cook, we're spooning Ladyfish.
Nice you are bros I'd hang out with . Try anything one lol.
Can you substitute The lady fish for cod or Ling? Or any fish?
You can, but you can't do this sort of filleting method. The beauty of this is the simplicity of an overly bony and mushy fish. You'll just be making pretty traditional fish cakes with breadcrumbs etc. I find that to be a waste of fresh cod or ling, but the frozen stuff it's a good use for.
So Elias, would you suggest Ladyfish to someone that can't stand the smell of fish? I for one am that person, I can't STAND the smell of fish or shellfish, it keeps me from eating it. If something doesn't smell appetizing to me, I sure as hell ain't going to put it closer to my nose/ in my mouth. I think part of it likely comes from fishing on Guam and smelling the squid that sat out on the rocks in the blazing humid sun all day when we used it as bait, and then smelling the fish on the docks in Mississippi... after that I stopped eating fish, other than canned tuna. I will say I did try cedar plank baked salmon last year and it wasn't too bad.. other than my dad bought the plank at the hardware store and it was toxic yellow cedar... Luckily I ate such a small piece it didn't bother me, my parents were sick for days with symptoms akin to food poisoning. Might be interesting to pickle them like herring btw.
Quick question: why scale it if you spoon the meat off anyway?
Less messy in the kitchen I'm guessing. Those scales go everywhere and you want to keep it off the meat.
Why would you have to scale it to do the spooning technique
That's done with codfish in the West Indies. It's called fish cakes.
Just needs some chillies
I’m thinking sun dried tomatoes garlic basil some cheese in this patty.
Ladyfish are prized catches on fly rods.
Almost looks like my uncle's salmon patties. He does almost the same ingredients.
If u don’t catch and cook a carp I’m gonna freak out hahahah
He’s also a fellow kayak fisherman
Mmmhmmmm. Sea loaf.
Bouncy? I've no idea what that refers to as applied to fish. Will some one please enlighten me. Thanks.
