Went out with my buddy Adam from ‪@MovinWeightFishing‬ in search of fall fish species down here in South Florida. We ran the beach, looking for mackerel, bluefish, pompano, jacks and ladyfish. Ladyfish are often regarded as a trash fish, but in this catch clean cook, I show you how to turn this fish into a delicious meal. Ladyfish just need a little more preparation than other traditional fish, but the end result is amazing. Flounder is a fairly expensive fish at the market which can usually go anywhere from $10-$30 per pound. Mackerel, ladyfish, blue runners and jack crevalle range anywhere from $.25 to $4 per pound on average.

Come to Hawaii, trust we know how to make “trash” fish taste bomb af. Even the big jacks,gt’s aka “uluas” the big 100+ pounders we typically smoke. As for the ladyfish (awa awa) we scrape the meat with a spoon like we do oio (bonefish) & make fish patties. Try search up “life of a shore caster” even Penn made a Hawaii edition video

this is so true. I spearfish in Hawaii and have been noticing some of the best tasting fish here are known as trash fish on the mainland. as a result, I'm starting a trash fish catch and cook series on my KZfaq channel to prove that only trash cooks make trash fish. any fish taste good if you know how to cook it. papio's are so good

You have a great way of looking at fish and their value as food, I really like your saying no trash fish just bad cooks. Spanish mackerel and king mackerel for that matter is some of my favorite fish. I made a fantastic fish soup with some king mackerel a few years back and great fish tacos with the same fish and I had always heard the only thing you can do with a king fish is smoke it. Anyways great vid and great cooking.

@JeffSmith-eq3kc 2 жыл бұрын

I really like the no trash fish, only trash cooks idea but I can't go as far as a ladyfish. I tried. I went with your technique, and it did work cleaning the fish. However, it was basically inedible in fish cakes. I made it for my family and we ended up ordering pizza. Maybe I did something wrong but it was as fresh as fresh gets and it looked and smelled fine. Unfortunately, it tasted like a combination of very fishy and mud. Much respect if you can make ladyfish edible. .

Took a trip up to kenai peninsula and that was a boy's dream. 2 hours twilight, 1 hour dark, 2 hours twilight, and GAME ON! Always rained at exactly 4 o'clock, so at 3 we'd set up for it. Great people. If I were me, I'd get married on a boat in front of some orcas jumping around behind and film it!! Ask a native First Nations Shaman to conduct the ceremony. This would be epic, but I do understand you're in Florida so maybe local and Seminol? Do your thing, I'll keep watching. It would def be "COOLER" in Alaska this time of year that's for sure.

A year ago my son, like 12 year old grandson and I got to go on an airboat for the first time and Cedar Key a man nice took us out and he let us do some fishing because several catfish and then we my grandson caught one of those ladyfish that's why I mentioning this. The man helped us with our fishing rods cuz we weren't really fishing we didn't do much fishing in our lifetime. And the airboat ride was wonderful. For the first time he was a good driver , took this to one of those little sand dunes where there were trees and seashells awesome. By the way one of the fish that I had a my rod was so strong I gave it the fishing rod back to the man he gave it to my grandson cuz I was too scared and break his fishing pole. Nice fun time. He took us in a calm water area. Your new fan.🧛‍♀️🙂🎣❤👍✌👋

There are only a handful that I trust to catch, clean and cook the right way and Vic you sure check all the boxes at the top level. Thbaks for the video! Its great to see "under utilized" fish not just big game fish or prized sport fish. A little fry oil on the spoon before you make fritters slide right off. If you double spoon it..its way easier and if you wanna go famcy you can make quenelles or "footballs".

If you steamed the formed fish puree rather than deep fried it we Japanese folks would call it kamaboko. Of course kamaboko seasonings would be very different but the basic concept of taking "trash" fish and/or fish carcass meat to make a puree is the same and it's delicious.

Thank you for the information and the tutorial. Around my neck of the woods (Ohio near Lake Erie) sport fishermen seem to be the ones who apply the "trash" label to fish. For example, bowfin compete with and prey on "game fish", so the idiot locals will pull out a bowfin and leave it to rot. Yet bowfin are amazing fish to catch, and benefit from the same preparation methods. (They're not especially bony, but big filets tend to have poor texture unless you cook them straight away.)

I take mackerel and break it up in a skillet over medium heat. Stir and dry it out a bit. Add some olive oil, favorite seasonings and sauce. Keep stirring and driving off some moisture, and concentrating the flavor. Then mix in cooked rice for fried rice, or mix into other dishes, or on top of vegetables, or make a mackerel version of Joe's Special (recipe from Original Joe's online).
