      None of them because outside of the first one you did it so lazily that it wasn't serious at all. This seems like you went with a content idea you had and didn't bother to understand the effort that others take in making similar content.
      Fish was novel, but unless you're sourcing McD's breading, oil, and fry times, it's pointless.
      "I prefer the minced meat one" well then MINCE THE MEAT! That's literally how you make the comparison my guy.

    The craziest part about the Patagonian Toothfish is that up until the last 20 years, it was a fish that was usually thrown away by fisherman. Now it's one of the most expensive fish in the U.S because of the rebranding as Chilean Sea Bass. Just goes to show how marketing can change ones perspective so heavily.

    You are 100% correct about the issue with the temperature of the oil. It was way too hot as the breading burned prior to the fish cooking all the way through. And your solution was the correct one. You have to get the oil to a steady controlled temp prior to frying anything to avoid exactly what happened. All good though and you were spot on in retrospect. Great video as always sam!!

    • @A.The.H.

    Hi Sam, I've been watching for a year now and you've gotten me through some tough times. Thank you for always being so considerate and making donations to local food charities. My family runs our own nonprofit in North Texas and we feed over 100 children every week. Never stop creating! :)

  • @kiwi_in_sylvania5449

    I love how in all of your videos that feature a high cost, you go ahead and give that back into your community or other fundraisers. I find it hard to watch other film makers "burning" money but with your videos I know that you understand the value ~250$ has to people who are less privileged

  • @catman6089
    @catman6089 7 месяцев назад +60

    Fun fact for cooking extremely well marbled beef like Wagyu, there's so much fat that you usually dont need any oil in your pan because it immediately liquifies and basically fries in its own fat.
    also, butter generally isnt a great fat for high heat frying because the milk solids can burn a lot faster than any other oils will start smoking

    • @lukesouter9164
      @lukesouter9164 7 месяцев назад +2

      My pantry goes olive --> sesame --> grapeseed with grapeseed having by far the highest smoke point. It's perfect for searing fish steaks.

  • @triddle5593
    @triddle5593 7 месяцев назад +41

    A side quest to get a picture with the farmers would absolutely incredible. Probably not worth it by itself, but if you can find another video to make in japan, that would be a hilarious side quest.

  • @jo3ywils0n39
    @jo3ywils0n39 7 месяцев назад +5

    The way you matched the money spent on this revue to donate to a local food insecurity charity is commendable. I wish more people on this site were like you.

  • @gocty3605
    @gocty3605 7 месяцев назад +29

    Fun little factoid about wagyu: you don't actually need to use any oil or butter to cook it. The beef is marbled with so much fat that in a hot pan, the fat will melt, render, and the steak will cook in its own fat!
    Also, steak tip: Use a high smoke point oil instead of butter when frying in a pan. Butter burns at the temperatures necessary to get a nice crust on most cuts. After the steak is cooked, you can go back and baste it in butter since butter tastes good. 👍

    • @kameljoe21
      @kameljoe21 7 месяцев назад +2

      I also want to point out that thick steak is key. Nothing less than 1.5 inches and 2 inches thick is better. The reason is the heat will cook the meat so fast that it does not have time to do its magic. I can cut up nice looking roasts in to thick steak and slow cook them and they will come out to a meduim rare and will fall apart when you eat them. While the cut is nice in many steaks. Aa thick roast can still provide you with what you are looking for. Its also super hard to find anything cut thick.

    • @Andre-Nader
