  • Seth and Chester are no strangers to a good fish fry. In this episode, they're working with Chef Kevin Gillespie to find a slightly more elevated approach to this classic preparation. The end result is sure to leave you with a strong desire to head out and catch a limit of walleye.
    Stay tuned for Seth and Chester's upcoming series, the Montana Walleye Tour. Coming to our channel on 1/24/23.

    Fried in Beef Tallow! Awesome! I used to buy grass-fed tallow for frying eggs at a local butcher. One day I asked the butcher if it was good for deep frying. He said "Yes, Do That"

    We grew up skipping the egg wash and using slightly thinned down yellow mustard. Can use whatever to thin it, beer water etc... Same three stage batter process otherwise.

    Cheddar, you must immediately do this with a thin pork chop (or tenderize a thick one) and put it on a soft torta like bun with Thai inspired pickled veggies, some cabbage, and a peanut plum sauce.

      They are half right, it’s also not a normal bread. It’s basically cooked in large containers with electricity. That’s another reason why it’s so super light and crispy too.

  • @theoutdoorsman9726
    @theoutdoorsman9726 Před rokem

    Everyone kinda has their own way of filleting fish and a lot of folks filet fish the way he did it there and I grew up and was taught doing it a different way. The way we do it is to start behind that front fin and everything just as he showed and everyone else does it but as I start to filet off the side I make my way down the spine staying as close to the spine as possible to not waste any meat. Where my technique differs is that I don’t get the belly meat and by doing that I don’t expose the guts of the fish. When we go back to cut the filet away from the carcass we go up and over the rib cage instead of cutting thru it. I know there’s a little meat on the belly that we leave behind, but that’s just how my dad and grandad always done it and still do and how I was taught. I guess they figured it’s not enough to be worth doing it as when you do it the way he did, you have to go back after you cut off the filet and trim away the rib bones from the filet because they come off still attached to the piece of fish. So we just go up and over the rib cage and leave those bones where they were intended to be lol. Like I said man, it’s crazy how even for simple things like cleaning a fish everyone puts their own unique spin on it.
