    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.

    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…

    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.

    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!.....

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.
