James is getting his chef skills going,I remember being young and cracking eggs one handed the first time , I was impressed with myself. I remember back in the 80’s ,the first time I handled Monkfish in a restaurant, I did a lot of it for a special that night , breaded them then dropped them into the deep fryer ,to color them, put them on half sheet pans with wire racks, then finished them in the oven, they were wonderful. I was hoping you would do monkfish after the first video where you were pulling monkfish in on that commercial fishing guys boat.
John...I always knew Hannah was a Rock and Roller at heart!! Dig the Nirvana T-shirt!! LOL!! And James...he seems to grow another inch or two on every video. Glad to see him assisting Granddad Jim! And that Monkfish looks amazing! Dig, DmGrk
This is an excellent channel and clearly a lovely family. I was so amazed when James admits @20.25 that Gurnard is his favourite fish. most kids now don't even know what a Gurnard is. 👍
I love a bit of Monk and as far as I’m concerned it makes the best Scampi going. Beautiful weather, cooking fish you’ve caught yourself outside and dining in lovely company. Life doesn’t get better.😁👍
You learn something every day - scampi / monkfish. Outdoor frying how awesomely British - take that my lovely friends from USA and Australia and New Zealand
Brilliant video, wouldn't mind trying monkfish now myself, Jim is awesome, great chef, and James his helper is very apt as a kitchen assistant, all the best from us here
As always, an informative, enjoyable and educational video.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 What can I say, except thank you all so much.👍👏👏👏👏 Lovely to see young James and his grandad working together.❤ Take care and stay safe all.😷
watching this a second time because i went shopping to Costco today and got the last monkfish tail (wild caught in north atlantic)😮 thankyou for the inspiration, never had it and i only bought it because i watched the video the first time ❤ can't wait to wake up and cook it exactly like this ❤❤❤
AH....Monkifsh, such an nice fish👌 Head we/Croatia-Adriatic sea/.... use cooked in soup....ore with onione,tomato sos,vine,garlic,petershil....kinde of caserola...uh. Beautifull meat,easy to eat- no small bones....and in a head is even better meat+ nice juiices for soups and cassrolas🙂🍀🖖 They were so cheep...back in 80/90es Now...they have top prices....
Great video Boys!! My friend is a fishmonger and he said Monkfish are best shaved as it gets rid of all the membrane! Love monkfish!! Nice you are cooking outside. Just had smoked haddock for my tea with a poached egg and rice. Very nice! Very tasty meal there! Thanks all. Graham ❤
Thanks John, Jim & James, That must be one of the most amazing cook ups I've seen. It all looked so delicious, Mega scampi, twice cooked chips & home made tartare sauce, what's not to love😀👍
Jim you are awsome in that kitchen timming is outstanding . I do all with timers going of every where and when finished . Looks like a hand granade has went off lol . Thanks for taking us along 👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Its very nice spending time with friend and family .Sharing you catch is what i want to do this summer. Great stream and thank Jim 5***** summer as coming and not to soon.
Well the seal lost out there John 🤣, cooking inside and outside at same time ! The man just raises the bar every time . Brilliant Jim and James as always, appreciate all your effort👍🏼👍🏼
Hello Maggie from Southern Colorado here! Wonderful channel. And your so very very handsome and very easy on the eyes. I love your family. Such a blessing. I learn so much from your channel and I'm so grateful that you do this channel. Thank you for having me. I'm learning so much from you!
Thank you Jim for another beautiful, artistic creation. And thank you James for being the best little sous chef. My Grandad was called James (Jim) and my first sons middle name is James.
Hi John, great preparation, from being caught, to the table Jim done a great job, with the help of young James, cooked to perfection 👍, another enjoyable watch mate.👀🍺🍺, Mark.
Yorkie puds.... Weigh an egg, just add the same amount of plain flour and milk and whisk with a pinch of salt. Heat an oiled bun tray in the oven as hot as it will go till till its smoking blue hot, then pour in the batter. It will start to fizzle and cook straight away. I leave them to cook on high for about 10 mins then turn the heat down to 200 deg until golden brown....Perfect soggy bottom Yorkies! When I was a lad, my mum used to put in meat juices into the batter from the Sunday roast and make Yorkshire Pudding in a casserole dish. Oh, those were the days of proper meat!.....
Back in the kitchen…I so enjoy these videos for the generational family enjoyment. Reminds me of my childhood. If Jim would like to try something different…? Add some cornstarch to the flour. It doesn’t change the flavor and helps coat anything better. For some reason it adheres to anything fried. 2-3 Tablespoons…
I love these catch and cooks, so enjoyable to watch and I've loved all the recipes from Jim that I have attempted. James is so cute as always. Thank you. 😊
And your wife is simply stunning. She's got a million dollar smile! Your son is incredibly intelligent and just what a blessing heavenly Father has given you!
It's like you have this soothing rhythm to your voice. It's relaxing. And i love that you don't take everything but you educate and i just love it. I recommend your page to all my friends.
Hiya. I do know a way to take the sinew off monkfish easily but it happens as you fillet it so useful if you get them whole but maybe not to folk that buy it pre filleted. You slap it on the cutting board with the head end at 12:00, slice down the backbone gently not all the way through then sneek up on the sinew with gentle cuts. When you're almost at the sinew turn the knife and roll the fillet towards 15:00 and proceed like you're skinning a fish, sliding the knife flat across the cutting board just under the flesh and on top of the sinew. Hope that helps you or some others. 🙌👍
Great to hear Jim visit my childhood home of Halifax it brings back memories. Great video and James is a lucky lad to have the surrounding of skills to learn from.
Glad to see you teaching the boy to cook. My Mother, Grandmothers, and Dad's best friend (trained chef) made damn sure I could cook for myself when I left home. I did the same for my son as well. One of the best life skills I ever learned. Not only can I cook myself a decent meal, I can cook a fabulous meal for a party. Especially important for someone like me that likes to hunt/fish/forage my own food. I bet he ends up with better knife skills than I did, though. I have mediocre knife skills, but mostly had to teach myself in the end. Jim will make sure he's well set in that department!
Legendary, John. Love this. Jim is easy to watch, little mate James loving it, Hannah looking amazing, you being so great to listen to. Love your work, mate. Never get sick of your vids. I’d like to give skinning one of them a go. We don’t have them here, but similar fish. Scraping with the sharp edge of the blade, against a board, while moving the fish, not the blade, works. But no idea if it’ll work on that beast. Thanks again. Rob,Tasmania, Australia
Another cracker of a cook up John. I love how much time Jim has for James in the kitchen it's lovely to watch. Jim is by far my favourite RUclips chef. You need to catch him Another octopus 🐙
We don't see much cold water fish in Florida, so my mouth is watering. We get some cod but to find haddock is rare and monkfish maybe if a restaurant has a special. Scampi is mostly shrimp and spiny lobster. Good stuff to see you enjoying the fruits of your labors. One Love from Boca
I work in a water/immersion heater factory and have developed asbestos fingers, can be handy! 🤏 Great stuff as always. Hope y'all have a great weekend. 👍
I used to work the fryer at a fast food joint and I got to the point where if I left a stray fry or chip in the fryer I could pick it up with my fingers because I burned the tips into callouses.
Awesome! First time seeing a real one. Up till now I'd only ever seen the pixelated version of these guys when I played runescape as a kid. Excellent video as always!
I remember Monkfish being passed as Scampi 😀, though advertised as such. I can only avail myself of monk fish when I visit the southern states, but it will always be one of my favourites😀 As always, I'm left with a desire to eat at representative level. Thank you 😀
Forgot to reply the other day 🙄🤦♂️,love how you three flow so well together. Great to see James getting stuck in too. And it looked amazing,as always 💪🐟🎣
"are we going to sing a sea shanty?" is a right tongue twister, isn't it? lol Jim, love the apron, guessing it was purchased on your trip in Japan. Hope you had a lovely time. Also John, Always a pleasure seeing James helping, and learning. Over here in the US, so many parents just want their children "out of the way" sadly they can't learn anything that way. James is growing into a proper educated and experienced young man, parenting done right. And cheers to the rarely seen Carol and Mrs. Fishlocker. Hope all her competitions have been going well for her.
Today was 25 degrees in Dorset. So first dressed crab salad of the year. Jersey royals, cooked and cooled. Potato salad with spring onions, chives and mayo. Tomatoes, olives rocket and salad leaves. Home made slaw. Lovely. My crab wasn’t as impressive as the giant you cooked yesterday. I’m no great gardener but have Jim’s chives gone to flowering? I might see if the fish man in Poole or Wimborne has any monkfish because the “scampi” looked and sounded lovely when you cut in to them.
Great little video John and Jim the chef excellent use of monkfish tails, as you mentioned and something I know it does not have much flavour but goes well in Thai dishes. Something else that has a neutral flavour is conger eel which I mince up and use in fish cakes. keep it up best fishing, cooking, natural history, and educational creator out there.
I've had Cod cheek scampi..The ultimate scampi experience..My father was a international fish buyer, Mostly in the North east of Scotland.. Everyday he would bring something home with him.. Ling were his favourite aswell as Witches..Fish wasn't just on Fridays, It was often every other day..Never complained tho..
Never had the chance to try monk fish I've heard it tastes really nice yours certainly looks like it does ,well done to James for doing such a good job as sous chef
Brilliant yet again John. We should all remember that there’s a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore looking like an idiot. I always fall into the latter category! 😜
They have a sort of double membrane, grab a piece of cloth and just pull the skin(s) from head to tail, I have done it for years in my restaurants and it works. But you're the expert John! Talking about this fish being so cheap some years ago, workers in the Auvergne region of France where there was a lot of industry had delt with their Unions not to be served salmon more than twice a week, as it was so common in the fresh waters in that region. Now you're lucky if you can catch one!!
Interesting. We had similar thing in Denmark where people working on farms protested against how often they were served salmon. Now we barely catch 2.000 salmon a year in the whole country and in most streams the populations have to be supported be releasing small salmon hatched in farms (eggs from wild salmon). However the situations is much better than it was 20 years ago.
Super video its so nice can start eating outside having BBQ's just bought a camping stove its only myself and the wifey saves firing up the gas BBQ, nice heavy skillet big enough to cook off some burgers, sausages and kebabs only use the main BBQ for family, loving the cassette camping stove
Great video John and family, and Jim. I haven't seen chips cooked twice before, the end result looks like roast potatoes. Fantastic meal outdoors with great weather. 👍
Talking about poor man's food as much as monk fish was a poor man's food so was lobster originally used too feed slaves and prisoners. It also used as a fertilizer. It's amazing how certain foods have moved around from poor man's to expensive food. Once again another lovely video. Thank you.
How's that old saying go? Give a young lad a fish dinner, he'll eat once. Teach a young lad to cook fish, he'll eat a lifetime. Great to see young men learning to cook!
Wonderful videos of a multi-generational family enjoying each other's familial role. Thank you!
I think Jim’s just a family friend!
@@rachelmilt2058 No, he's John's father-in-law.
@@tonycamplin8607 oh! Thank you, I wonder how I never picked up on that. Been watching for years…
Jim’s manners and calmness in the kitchen is absolutely impeccable…. A lesson for any budding chef.
This is my most favourite video.
All generations and the whole family joining in.
Thank you.
Love that Jim is having James help in the kitchen! The potatoes are such a beautiful color! Fun video as always!
Such a beautiful day you had for that beautiful meal!
James is getting his chef skills going,I remember being young and cracking eggs one handed the first time , I was impressed with myself.

Thank you for two cook up videos with Jim this week! Awesome to see James helping out and learning in the kitchen!
What a beautiful family right there.
Jim really HAS to produce a cooking book. I'd happily give good money for his recipe's
When we are wintering in Portugal we buy it quite regularly. We use it in bbq kabobs or in a cataplana. We've actually had the liver in a sushi dish.
This is an excellent channel and clearly a lovely family. I was so amazed when James admits @20.25 that Gurnard is his favourite fish. most kids now don't even know what a Gurnard is. 👍
I love a bit of Monk and as far as I’m concerned it makes the best Scampi going. Beautiful weather, cooking fish you’ve caught yourself outside and dining in lovely company. Life doesn’t get better.😁👍
You simply can’t beat monkfish, it’s so versatile and I love it in a marinara sauce with basil and mozzarella. ❤
I love your videos with jim, what a lovely farther in law you are blessed ❤
You learn something every day - scampi / monkfish. Outdoor frying how awesomely British - take that my lovely friends from USA and Australia and New Zealand

A still use a Chip pan we call it for our chips. Can't beat proper homemade chips.. Jim is a good cook knows what he's doing. Great video John 👍

Cracking video, second favourite fish to eat haddock from the moray firth is top of the list 👌🏻👌🏻
Great to hear Jim visit my childhood home of Halifax it brings back memories.
Great video and James is a lucky lad to have the surrounding of skills to learn from.
Love watching this man cook
Great video, great to see people promote the British fishing industry 👌👍👍
Such a joy to watch y'all together! I feel the love of family all the way from here!
i had a friend that was a sller at our local fish market he always gave me monk tails all ready to cook an langustines yum yum yum

I love fish with firm texture - grouper, monkfish, triggerfish, etc. Can never go wrong with a poor man’s lobster ❤
Legendary, John. Love this.
Jim is easy to watch, little mate James loving it, Hannah looking amazing, you being so great to listen to. Love your work, mate. Never get sick of your vids.

That was magic. Love the wY you presented the food. Cheers to the chef
Another cracker of a cook up John. I love how much time Jim has for James in the kitchen it's lovely to watch. Jim is by far my favourite RUclips chef. You need to catch him Another octopus 🐙
Love watching you catch fish 🐟 you have help me learn new things as I am fairly new to fishing keep up the tutorial too. Thanks
Another great cooking video with Jim! I really enjoy seeing these catch to kitchen.

Well, I know what I'm going to try with those monk fillets in the freezer now.
That's a lovely little garden by the way Jim.
Would love a tour round Jim's garden. The allotment looks brilliant in the background
Have a look on the fishlocker workshop channel.
They look brilliant.
I used to work the fryer at a fast food joint and I got to the point where if I left a stray fry or chip in the fryer I could pick it up with my fingers because I burned the tips into callouses.
Ouch. 🤣

I love watching the cooking with Jim videos! He is such an interesting person, and I would love to see more.
Excellent James 👍
hi.. what wonderful Sunday get-together .. can't believe that 1 Monkfish could feed 4 adults n 1 child.. tQ for the sharing.
Today was 25 degrees in Dorset. So first dressed crab salad of the year. Jersey royals, cooked and cooled. Potato salad with spring onions, chives and mayo. Tomatoes, olives rocket and salad leaves.

Family fun there is nothing better love seeing everyone love the video 😊
Jim carrying the squad as usual, lovely weather, amazing food and even better company!!
Jim is a star isn’t he.
Drooling here. Scampi has always been my fav to eat.
I've had Cod cheek scampi..The ultimate scampi experience..My father was a international fish buyer, Mostly in the North east of Scotland..
Everyday he would bring something home with him..
Ling were his favourite aswell as Witches..Fish wasn't just on Fridays, It was often every other day..Never complained tho..
Great Video guys, nice to see Jim, have a evening of catching up on video's,
very good James 😂
Never had the chance to try monk fish I've heard it tastes really nice yours certainly looks like it does ,well done to James for doing such a good job as sous chef

Super video its so nice can start eating outside having BBQ's just bought a camping stove its only myself and the wifey saves firing up the gas BBQ, nice heavy skillet big enough to cook off some burgers, sausages and kebabs only use the main BBQ for family, loving the cassette camping stove
Great video John and family, and Jim. I haven't seen chips cooked twice before, the end result looks like roast potatoes. Fantastic meal outdoors with great weather. 👍
Nice family happening.

Quality as always great family unit and involvement mate
Boy these episodes are awesome content better than tv shows
I honestly thought those potato wedges were slices of apples. 😂 Brilliant video. All the best to you all.
How's that old saying go? Give a young lad a fish dinner, he'll eat once. Teach a young lad to cook fish, he'll eat a lifetime. Great to see young men learning to cook!
