  • Throw spearing and how to cook a Plecostomus! These fish are the last fish that I expected to taste as good as they did. They are invasive in Florida, causing a ton of damage in lake, river, canal and ponds. They established a population by being released by aquarium owners into Florida's waterways. I cooked them over an open, oak wood fire and was SHOCKED at the end result. Thanks for watching!

    Dude I just watched a video where some guy caught one, poorly hacked at it, and dressed it in pickle juice before putting it on the grill to be cooked in its own shell. Clearly he had no intention of even eating it. One chick ate a bite and that was it. I appreciate that you don’t waste your kills and actually commit, experimenting or not. You actually prepare yours the same way you would if you did it every day. Thanks, man.

    If you put the onion, and a little bit of the Seasonings/herbs in the foil alone, cook it a bit, and _then_ put the fish in there, you'll get nicely caramelized, or even crispy onions, without over-cooking the fish.
    Always consider how different ingredients cook slower or faster, for example:
    If I have a recipe that calls for both minced garlic and minced shallots (sautéed), then I'll put the shallots in the Skillet alone with the oil, and give them, like, maybe a 90- second to 2- minute head start. This is because I know that the minced garlic will burn much more easily/ much faster. This way, the shallots and garlic will both Reach that _"almost-burning-but-Not_ phase," at the same time, and then I can add the wine, and start building my sauce (for example).
    The same goes for anything. It could be as simple as baking some Brussel sprout halves with onion petals. Obviously the Brussel sprouts will start to brown in the oven _wayyy before_ onions. Simple Fix: throw the onions in a Skillet with some butter and oil, and Seasoning, and cook them like ⅓ of the way. With the sprouts, you just melt the butter, and Only use the Skillet to toss the sprouts, just to coat them, but without cooking them at all.
    Now, when you bake the onions and sprouts together, they brown at the same time.
    Nothing is worse than under-cooked onions with over-cooked meat, or whatever else.
    You have to stagger-in different ingredients, into different recipes.

I have eaten plecos in southern Colombia where they serve them whole on your plate (apparently boiled after being gutted) and you have to break the scutes with the back of your spoon to get at the meat. Not my favorite fish but glad that I have eaten them in case I have to survive in the jungle some day.
