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.
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 .
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
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.!
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.
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.
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
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! 🥰
HEY SAM ! Couldn't find the egg toast video today, so I'm posting here. My 11yo grandson was hungry, & since I was thinking about egg toast anyway...... I didn't have all the extras you added, so we had to go minimalist -- bread, egg, Meunster cheese, and your bff. Not pretty results on mine, but my boy hit the perfect addition : pancake syrup! My taste buds jumped up, ran around my mouth, out my lips, and around my head and back! ADDICTIVELY GOOD! Thanks for what you do!
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” 🙏🤣
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.
The fish look awesome! Tip for using a microplane: Only go in one direction as going in both directions will push the blades down over time, dulling it. For best ease of use, put the microplane on top of whatever you are using and not the other way around. If the lemon is on top, you can't see what you're doing as well, whereas if the grater is on top, you have more control and visibility over what you are doing.
Have to agree with DonPandemoniac! Excellent recipe and instruction, as always!! Sam, you have been our family's most loved TV chef from way back - 15 yrs maybe, when we would eagerly wait to watch your newest episode on Monday nights on public broadcast TV. We still follow a lot of those recipes, esp the pizza, and we all agree you have made us better cooks- all members of my family cook, and cook well, thanks to you! We love your recipes and your unique style of humor!. Kudos to your team and all your quirky comments 😉
The zester goes over the lemon, like you are playing the violin, not the lemon over the zester. Then you see what you are doing all the time, you have way more control. - Chef Jean-Pierre.
So THAT'S what I did wrong, lol! I grilled some whole Catfish fillets a while back, and while we loved them, they definitely stuck to the grill. I cooked mine indirect. It went fine until I tried to put them over the hot coals to sear them. EVERYTHING came off man, lol! The seasoning, skin, everything. And we STILL loved it. I can't imagine how much better they'll be next time, now that I know to cook them direct. These guys were beautiful!
As someone who lives on the Gulf Coast in Florida, I found it cute when you say 'when you buy your fish' ☺️ Thought it was odd you didn't show how to gut it 🤐 All crap talking aside, I am happy you are doing a whole fish recipe! Although, a lot of people have some weird problem with eating something that has a face looking back at them. 🤷
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.
Sam and Co. Can you do a Beef Bourguignon, please? Cooler temps on the way and time approaches for a special comfort food…maybe BB is even a good candidate for an Instant Pot process? Thanks!
I grill salmon all the time. Cut fillets into serving size and grill skin side down, don’t flip. Oil the skin, and if it sticks no big deal, you don’t eat it anyways. The meat will lift off the skin easily once it’s cooked.
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.
I recently discovered this fish from greece or turkey, really the only way to cook this is what he does, it's the way they do it over there. This fish has a great slightly sweet taste like fresh halibut. You can just stuff it with lemons and garlic etc but I want to try what Sam does here. I have the bug salt gun too, they work great unless the fly his huge
Since you live in San Diego and have one of the best fisheries in the world and you please do something for all the sport fisherman here. Bluefin/yellowfin, yellowtail or dorado. Thank you!
My family in Florida always brings back and freezes a cooler full of Roman burgers when they visit other family in Ohio 😂. Definitely 2nd this idea, let's see it Sam!
Fellas - take a empty Gatorade bottle on the first Grove from the lid cut it off. Put a table spoon of brown sugar, table spoon of honey and 2 table spoons of warm water. Turn the lid (cut off portion) upside down and stick it back into the bottle until it sticks. Leave it sitting outside for a day. Watch how many flies it will catch. Best fly trap ever !! Enjoy yiyr content !!!!
What about the bones? Are they soft enuff in the branzino that it not an issue or are ya gonna get 1 stuck sideways in yer throat? (That's always a problem, lol)
Flesh, Flesh, Flesh for fantasy!! Sorry, when you said it, the Billy Idol song Flesh for Fantasy came to mind. I'll move along now. I need to find some whole Branzino near me now.
Recd my paring knife, with a handsome ready to frame sticker of Sam! Loved the inserts, they made me laugh. The knife is THE BOMB… well, not really a bomb, it’s a knife… but it’s GREAT!
I would love fish that way especially camping . I can manage eating the skin, but can I scrape the scales off, I really don't want to eat that. Anybody please answer.
So on the grill did the tail come out to be edible? Growing up we would cook crappie whole,except the head, and we deep fried it and the tail was like a potato chip
Finally fish. More fish and seafood please!
No thanks
I agree
Please no
Yes, thanks!
Please, yes!
Yes!!!! I love fish
Gorgeous! There is a serious lack of whole fish preparations on youtube, thanks for stepping up to the plate.
LOL! I'm not a fish person and I'm still here to watch Sam cook! 😊
I dig it but Am. Red Snapper>farm raised Branzino all day every day and thrice on Sunday!!
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.
Where do you live, we’re on our way!🙂
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!
That is my type of food, 🇦🇺 love seafood shows. 🤤 Also love the fact that I can hear Max and Chance clearly. Great episode Sam.

Thanks for what you do!
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.
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.
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” 🙏🤣
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!
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.
I LOVE seafood! Wonderful addition to the grilling ideas! Yum. Thank You. ~Sharon from Florida
The fish look awesome!

Sam this looks gorgeous. I feel like I would love adding a bit of sesame oil in the salsa/chimichurri deal, too
Grilling fish is something we do in Scandinavia all year round and we love it! 🇸🇪🇫🇮🇩🇰🇳🇴🇮🇸
The Editors in this video are amazing and deserves a great round of applause.
HOLY SHIT MAX FINALLY LET SAM DO A SEAFOOD VIDEO

Inside or death, onion! CHOOSE! I came for the food but stayed for the life or death tension. 😂🤙

Did Max get a microphone? More fish please! Loved this
Love a new cooking video
Would love to see a video of Sam’s favorite dips/dressings/sauces etc…

If I can't find branzio at Tunaville, what is a good substitute for this recipe? TYIA.
Yo Sam thanks for the stake frys on a sheat pan in the oven the family loves it we had it for a week straight as a side dish haha

haven’t watched a video in a while , feel back at home now 😂😂❤
It’s like Pico de Gallo silly!!! Absolutely gorgeous. From Seattle - more fish paalease! ❤
Tried this recipe and *chef's kiss*
I would call that topping a relish. And OMG it looks good.
Every damn dish perfection. This fish looks outstanding!
Pretty sure you made it perfectly!!!
I grilled a sockeye salmon for dinner tonight. Was epic! You should do one next.
Dear Chef Sam,
is it okay to remove the heads of the fish before cooking?
Since you live in San Diego and have one of the best fisheries in the world and you please do something for all the sport fisherman here. Bluefin/yellowfin, yellowtail or dorado.
Thank you!
more fish dishes please ❤
I love a whole grilled snapper!!!
Best kept secret is eating fish prepared like that. Deep frying whole fish is great as well
That would be so good if you could do a Mr. Hero's Roman Burger. I don't even know if you have them were you live but it's damn good.
My family in Florida always brings back and freezes a cooler full of Roman burgers when they visit other family in Ohio 😂. Definitely 2nd this idea, let's see it Sam!
Looks really good Sam gonna definitely give it a whirl! 👍😊
Omg!!! Killing me!!! Grew up on lake st .Clair
This sounds and looks delicious.

Enjoy yiyr content !!!!
Good luck with the flies !!
If it’s smell like fish, make it a dish !!!! Right boys??? Cheers! 😊
I've been thinking of making something like this for a while now, might finally have to try it
Great job!
Love it!
Sweet baby geezus thank goodness finally seafood. MORE SEAFOOD !!!
Finally, fresh fish!
What about the bones? Are they soft enuff in the branzino that it not an issue or are ya gonna get 1 stuck sideways in yer throat? (That's always a problem, lol)
Flesh, Flesh, Flesh for fantasy!!
Sorry, when you said it, the Billy Idol song Flesh for Fantasy came to mind. I'll move along now. I need to find some whole Branzino near me now.
Didn’t think you would be scared of cooking anything Sam.
HOLY MOLY!!!!! We are able to hear Max!!!!
Love it do this all the time in Philippines 🇵🇭
Max has Mic. All is well.
Love the fish Sam! But in all honesty, does anyone else hate Max's mirror style plate?
Recd my paring knife, with a handsome ready to frame sticker of Sam! Loved the inserts, they made me laugh. The knife is THE BOMB… well, not really a bomb, it’s a knife… but it’s GREAT!
I literally couldn't care less about anything that dwells in the ocean. Giving you support either way.
did you scale the fish??
Looks beautiful!
Can I just use regular mayo ?
Super excited about some seafood
This is fish, not seafood.
@@opheliaroninJust looked it up! You’re wrong!
That looks delicious! Branzino also makes great sushi.
um, Branzino available in grocery store is 100% farmed sourced. It is not safe to eat raw.
Great shirt! Never seen that one. Love it.
Happy Friday
Looks delicious !
I love whole grilled fish. May sound weird but my favorite part are the eyes.
Do they need to be de-scaled?
Fn Weirdo
What kind of grill is that? My grill doesn't have a grate like that!
I would love fish that way especially camping . I can manage eating the skin, but can I scrape the scales off, I really don't want to eat that. Anybody please answer.
I live in Michigan. Salmon come from Lake Michigan around here!
What is the name of your watch on your wrist
That's like we've been doing it in Croatia recently as well - recently as in the last couple hundred years lol
So on the grill did the tail come out to be edible? Growing up we would cook crappie whole,except the head, and we deep fried it and the tail was like a potato chip
Thank you 😘
Love your kids....lol. keep on cooking good shit. ❤❤❤❤
The editing is hellah nice.
