4 Levels of Grilled Fish: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur John, home cook Julie, and professional chef Palak Patel from the Institute of Culinary Education - to prepare us a grilled fish. Once each of them had presented their creation, we asked food scientist Rose to explain the choices they made along the way - both good and bad. Which of these grilled fish looks most tempting to you?
Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/bl...

They always bring in John when they are cooking a dish no true amateur would attempt.
Ah yes 779 likes and no replies
@@bluebird6327 Andddd you ruined it.
For these advanced dishes they have those chef who are level one but we think them as level 1.5
Guys we need more replies
Hi i am a Bot
The level 1s are becoming too advanced. Emily would have thrown on some fish sticks with ketchup and called it a day
I agree! He actually TRIED!
Maddie Boehm nah, even Emily is getting advance
They will level up, oh no
Remember when Steven literally rolled some brownies and M&Ms into store bought ice cream and called it a day?
Half a cheesecake 😩
Frank is still busy salting the water to create his own ocean so he can raise his fish
alright, these are pretty overused now
He thinks that oceans are too salty. This way HE controls the salt level
U heard of fresh water fish bro
I ugly laughed 😂😂😂
Ok, stop with these jokes they’re too overused.
I feel that this episode really shows the advantage of having everyone cook from home, they get to use some tools that they couldn't do in the studio, such as their grills. Not to say that this can replace the studio setting, but there's a nice special perspective this way that makes the dishes feel more personal.
I totally agree!
Yeeees!! Agree
John and palak: normal kitchen
Julie:: BLIMING PARADISE
ikrrr, it looks so fancy and good
For real! I love her kitchen.
Dream kitchen
June ! y.o I WANT SЕЕХ !!!! 26OPEN MY VIDEO !!!! Username?
Those are not a normal kitchen, looks like they made the video in home depot! The places has nothing cozy warm as a real home.
The way Julie looks at her plantains is the way I want someone to look at me
Oh yes, let's not forget that loving massage she gave them! They almost needed a "mature" rating for this video XD
@@annemck 😂😂😂
I got you, Maddie!
also the level 3 cheif like like be careful with this one >-
😂😂😂
A Jamaican auntie should most definitely be at level 2.9
215 likes and no replies wow oh wait 1st reply
Is there any other way?
Watched the video before I saw the comment and I 1000% agree
I don’t think she knows what she’s doing. Level 1 was better
aposslex did we watch the same video??
"How much salt do you want?"
Palak: YES
If i used that much of salt for one dish in my own house my mother, and both my grandmothers, of which one is no longer here, would all beat me over the head
It’s a certain dish, it’s not going to be inedibly salty, but it needs lots of salt.
You should try fish cooked that way, it doesn't get salty and it's absolutely delicious, juiciest fish I've ever had
@@Bojoschannel is absolutely delicious. Dad made it and served it to guests as well.
Just make sure that you don’t fill a pan/tray to the sides. my dad filled the the bottom of a metal roasting tray with salt then the fish then more salt to cover. Never do this. Took a hammer to get the salt out of the pan.
I didn't even realize that Julie owned such a banger property
The lady is rich!
Right? So jealous of that kitchen.
It’s from all the smuggled Jamaican nutmeg profits...all from the tree in her front lawn!
Right!
@@Harambae613 😂😂😂
Considering how expensive properties are in the states... yeah, it's shocking
you know Julie went out and got that grill basket just for this video and the surprise and joy when it worked is just too wholesome
Italian/Caribbean/Indian influences.. LOVED this episode.
Jamaican*
Am I the only one who actually likes Palak's cooking?
Royal Skarmory yes
Fair enough
Aside from the eggs, I've liked the other dishes she's made 🤷
I liked her Fish and Chips the most
Royal Skarmory No
When she said she was from Jamaica I was waiting for my girl to whip out that scotch bonnet
You already know it's coming
II've never seen a scotch bonnet in real life but as soon as she said she was Caribbean and I saw the pepper Mama knew it was a scotch bonnet!
As far as I'm concerned she did the island proud. As soon as I heard snapper I was tuned in.
She disappoint me when she said planTAAIN 😂, I'm like no No we say PlanTin
@@SR-kz9un I was so disappointed in Julie for that😔
We need a new set of Level 1’s, these ones would have passed for level 2’s back in the day. They’re becoming too advanced
The queen boy himself has dropped to Level 0
love seeing julie again 💗 and somehow her kitchen does give me a very 'julie' energy if that makes sense
100% agree
Blooming and flowery
Yes, it's so beautiful and has so much stile!
She has a great property.
is ur username a webtoon reference or am i seeing things
As a Jamaican raised in America Julie's takes on these recipes always bring me joy and give me ideas!
I can actually almost imagine tasting Palak's fish and salad and damn they must be so delicious. Those combination of flavours. Anyone who has used curry leaves in cooking would know how aromatic they smell, even though they don't taste great, they impart alot flavour and smell into the dish. Also that salad, grilled corn, pickled red onions, maple syrup, cumin seeds, mango powder. My god I'm drooling already 😂
Eat that for a heart attack
I've never eaten a curry leaves as I only use them for aromatic purposes. I normally take them out once the dish is done. Didn't even know it could be eaten. Anyway, Porgy fishes tastes great and one of the best tasting fish so she won once she chose that as her fish of choice.
@@chitrangdunakhe8287 Why a heart attack??
@@chitrangdunakhe8287 even if it's salt baked/grilled, it's actually really not that salty
Try deep fried curry leaves. They are delicious
Julie’s kitchen WTF? Awesome. She is also reaching my Emily/Lorenzo/Frank level of obsession.
Man, I've gotta say this; I judged Palak ji heavily for her gourmet scrambled eggs and over the top french fries. But this fish and those Indian flavours that she used. I loved it!
Soham Pendokhare totally agree. Didn’t appreciate her eggs but her recipe is amazing
@JNike yea, I mean I really didn't mind her eggs and French fries. Its understandable given her background. But Indians generally don't indulge in such dishes. You know what I'm saying. Anda bhurji just feels way better
@@sohampendokhare5357 she's not a chef in india. That's why she makes over the top dishes.
Fried eggs are better than anda bhurji imo
I really like how the food scientists explain why the chefs do what because it makes the dishes that much better
I LOVE episodes with Jon. He’s the perfect level one... doesnt use a whole lot of premade stuff, but keeps it simple and easy. I feel like he is the perfect example of someone who likes to cook but doesn’t know any advanced techniques... but someone whose food you wouldn’t decline eating.
Y’all asked the correct chefs. Good work, guys!
Julie is the type of grandma i need ;(
Julie is the type of grandma I want to be!!!
Agreed
Your grandma reading this comment 👁️👄👁️
@@josuedanielmartinez5424 lmao
same i need that type of grandma too
Julie gives me a reason to smile. A truly beautiful human. Love her passion for cooking!!
I like how John is always surprised his food is good me too John
I can’t tell if this is a roast or not
@@josephzhang3564 it’s not
A roast
Seeing Palak bring India on a platter makes my heart so warm ❤️❤️❤️
This is the BEST John has ever done!
John, Julie, and Palak, Each did well. Kudos all!
I love how Julie had a measuring spoon out for the salt as like, a formality XD
Rose Trout and a fish episode 😍 I've been waiting for this moment since the series started!!!
I love to see all of the Julie appreciation!
She belongs right up there with Bianca, Steven, Khadijah, Lorenzo, Frank, Chris, Tracy, Saul and Rose!
The level 3 chef has such a nice voice
One of the few-ish episodes where every single level looked great! I would be very happy to eat any of these :) Never tried plantain, though, so I wouldn't know whether or not I'm into that...!
Its just a daddy banana
Eivind GJ totally agree 👍
There are amazing
Oh, you're missing one of the pleasures of life! Plantains are AMAZING 🙌🏽
Take it from a colombian, the best thing in the Colombian Caribbean coast is to have fried platains, and platains cake, the best got to cartagena Barranquilla or Santa Marta you will see
John, Julie: lemon! Some salt :) maybe some spice
Palak: 6 POUNDS OF SÄLT (although hot damn hers looked good)
It might be kosher salt
The salt will keep the fish juicy and sweet, it won't be as salty as you think. This method is quite common actually, sometime people even use mud iso salt.
The salt is essentially used as a cooking vessel though & the fish steams inside.
its a great method to cook things...but not at home. who has that much salt at home to just essentially throw away like that? there's actually a way better method, which is to make a merengue with the whites and fold salt into that. its still a bunch of salt, but definitely way less (like a pound maybe for a fish that big instead of 5 or 6). but you can roast root veggies like that, ham, roast beef...
“You’re looking for the consistency of a snowball”
.....I’ve never seen snow....😨😨😨
Come to Russia 😂 there's enough snow for everyone)
hehe, I was thinking how diverse her experience is: Flavors of South India, and the texture of a snowball.
... interesting combination!
I live for Julie. She’s awesome.
I love Julie. I learn so much from her and I love her personality. "Why don't we just..." "kind of works, guys!" Priceless. Good words to live by.
10:47
She's not wrong.
Platains are beloved in the Caribbean indeed.
Daddy banana
Lord Dragonskin me love some plantain 🇱🇨🇬🇾
Ohh yes here in Colombia platains are eaten fried, we call them patacones, and as well we have cakes, soups and the caribbean flavor
Gosh I love plantains
And Latin America ❤️
Frank is not here because he is still growing his fish and harvesting gas for the grill
Lorenzo is not here because he is still adding chili flakes to his recipe.
Emily is not here because she is still panic buying all the ketchup she can get her hands on.
Emily wants to do the salt bath except with ketchup
@@tomato6844 while we were panic buying toiler paper and hand santizer, Emily was cleaning grocery stores out of all their ketchup
Lorenzo didn't come because he couldn't add bacon to this dish
Yes
Am i the only one who wants rice with every single fish? With vinegar and soy sauce..
Hi there you ain't lonely!
Same here tbh. Eating fish feels lonely without some rice.
In Russia we always eat fish with potatoes. I don't know why but that's what we always do
@laser325 Vinegar, soy sauce and hot chilli's or if you dont like spice use a pinch of paprika. Really good with grilled white fish.
@@user-nv4gh2zw2u Couldn't imagine much rice being grown in Russia.
I want the Jamaican fish so much! Looks beautiful!
Julie: Flexing as Jamaican and rich property
Palak:my cooking better
John:Fish on a grill,in the kitchen
The second Julie brought out the lime I knew she was a woman after my heart 🥺 I was ready to sell my soul when she said marinade 🤧😍😩 🇭🇹 + 🇯🇲 = 💗
these lvl 2 chefs be flexing kitchens , Julie and Lorenzo got some strong kitchen game.
The pro chef won instantly when she said she was using a Porgy. If you dont know you're missing out
I love porgy, but no way that’s a porgy, wayyyyy too big
Zachary Kunz the ones I catch off the continental shelf in FL are a different species than this on as well
We're all That Bored
hi
@@ZRKBBALL77 That's a porgy, sir. It's a different species. It's a red porgy and it's found in the deeper continental shelf in the Atlantic ocean.
@@patrickmarques2876 Thank I was curious which species it was. I catch Jolthead Porgy mostly.
I swear Julie's food always looks incredible, she seems more of a pro chef to me.
“I feel like I wanna name him, but that might be a little weird.”
@AlvinZhou
YES
😂
Alvin feels insulted 🤣
Yes🤣
All 3 look fantastic.
I think level 2 looks the most appetizing but I’d want to try all of them 😊
I kinda felt like palakas looked like it could still swim🤣 sure it was good but that much salt triggers me... 20 year old me had to throw away a lot of over salted food😑🤣
@@jarenwilliams9892 bruh, the salt is used to preserve the fish so its nice and juicy. she didn't use the salt to flavor it 🤦♀️
Aunty (Julie) has such a beautiful kitchen geez. I love it!
Well this is another fantastic episode. A great roundup of three chefs!!
Frank is waiting for the guppies to grow to full size so he can feed them to his fish on his Red Snapper farm in the Azores
All three chefs were so fun
Julie is my favorite level 2 chef because of how she tells story’s about each ingredient
I've been vegetarian all my life but these foods are so good to look at
@@magicianjester5811 that's their oen choice. We shouldn't influence other
@@AkshayKumar-cc4eu i was just asking.
@Big boy Swank hey man, don't flame.
Magician Jester Really? Well it sounded pretty berating to me. But these are comments so I can’t hear your tone, but I’ll believe you because you said you asked nicely.
@Big boy Swank don't start an argument.
All this level one needs is experience, pretty soon he will find himself not able to take the shortcuts that would keep him here, he has too much taste. Level two has knowledge to the bone and level three is a master chef and taught me about her technique and culture-many thanks. I love this show, great entertainment. Congrats Chef Frank on you own show.
Scotch bonnet peppers and plantains? I am so there!
3:44 me who's never seen snowballs: Of course, of course
*relates in Australian*
Ms. Julie, your home is beautiful.
Please tell me Julie has her own CZcams Channel- I could watch her all day omg
1:40 "snip off the gills" snips off a fin.
Yeah, that seemed odd but I'm guessing it's a simple error. Our mind does stuff like that. She might've looked at the gills just before she was going to say it hehe.
I came here for this comment. As a born-n-raised Alaskan girl, I am TRIGGERED. 🤣🤣🤣
"Now's the hard part, flip the fish"
**flips it the hardest way possible**
🤣🤣🤣
I want to see Julie get her own show.
I would have eaten Julia's grilled fish instantly! Jamaican flavor!
Julie btw
@@potatodog3363 you knew what he meant 🤦
jaren williams Ik, just telling him cause
@@potatodog3363 lol no biggie! Any time I comment on things about 90 days fiance I am exactly the same way as him and so many names I just can't keep up so I felt his pain! Julie is definitely auntie goals though 💖
Me too
Julie is the only one that hasn't had her Chef vs homecook battle video.
I know people in the comments will be spamming
“Frank is still raising his fishes for cooking”
😂😂😂
Man, Julie‘s kitchen gave me grandma vibes
Palak is so sweet and creative
I feel like she is a bit less shy at home so her personality gets to shine more
Y'all should let the level 3 chef write a recipe and let the level 1 and 2 chef follow it.
I know the Jamaican lady gonna do numbers on the fish big up my island 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
She’s the only one who actually seasoned the fish
Have you ever had grilled plantain before? If so, did you like it? I haven’t had it but it sounds pretty delicious.
Phantom Phoenix we’ll here in Jamaica we usually fry it 🙂
@@thehamoodiandoctor5792 We normally fry, bake, or boil plantain...grilled plantain should be pretty good though
Daniel Ford Covers Yeah, I thought so. My mother was born in the UK but her grandmother (my great grandma) comes from Jamaica. We cook quite a lot of Jamaican food and we also usually fry or boil plantain.
More of Julie please - she rocks!!!
I'm going with the Jamaican woman.
This is honestly one of the more overall professional videos. The other one off of my head is the steak video.
Red Snapper is on my "need to eat" bucket list
My favorite fish!!!!!
They are only from the Atlantic Ocean. If you live near the Pacific Ocean, some will call Rock Cod "red snapper" but it's a different fish.
I find my Red Snapper in Asian markets on the west coast (if you live there) (I have 3 in my freezer right now!) East and Gulf coast and it should be easily available.
When I first saw Gordon ramsay grilling a fish covered with salt, I questioned it. Now that I've seen more with professional chefs, I just let it be
These level 1 chefs be upping their game! 🙌
By far one of the most distinguishing episodes that really displayed complexility among levels, however it doesn't mean that same can be said for the taste.
Really enjoyed this episode, even if I don't it fish.
Julie's place is bomb! She's always been my favorite.
Every time I see Julie I know it’s gonna be something COMPLETELY different than the other 2 😂
The moment they taste their food is my favorite. You can see their faces brighten up and smile comes up.... It's just gorgeous. We all love to eat. Food is what brings us together.
John i have to say, YOU DID AMAZING this chapter, great great job
Isn't John ready to be promoted to Homecook? He's in a higher level than other level 1s.
Eeeeh... maybe
He wasn't up to level 2 here though, maybe 1.5
Mmm... Maybe. Like, a 1.7. I think he did really good this time, though, and he' getting better and better every time.
He’s a 1.4
I've wanted to have a go at salt-baking a fish for years. Sadly, am not premium enough to buy whole fish but future me is going to be hella fancy
Grady Beckett use a sardine? XD
Yesss! 😩 to Julie’s Fish & Plantains. Going to make it for dinner tomorrow 🤤
How was it! Lolz🤣
jaren williams so so delicious!!
I love how _nobody_ is bringing up how Rose's last name is "Trout."
That feeling when your own kitchen most closely resembles that of the professional ☺️
🇮🇳 tell the level 3 chef luv frm India and all the three chefs recipes looks great 😘
Epicurious: I anticipate everyday at work to see a 4 level video from you and I love it!! I have suggestions of my favorite foods: 4 level of parfaits, 4 levels of sloppy joe sandwiches and 4 levels of rotel dip pleeeeeaaase
Three brilliant recipes, to be sure. I may have learned a thing or three about cooking my own fish! Thanks, you all!
julie is so wholesome and sweet and I just want her to be my mom
I'll have a bit of each! White wine too, please 🤗
I won't be proud enough in my life combined as much as Julie is proud of Jamaica
I've been a chef for 35 years. Take level two chef Julies if I went to a restaurant.
SHE'S JAMAICAN NO WONDER I LIKE HER SO MUCH.
4 levels is back!
John did an absolutely great job with his fish & broccoli rabe - he did Level One chefs proud! And of course, Julie and Palak's fishes were also just beautiful to look at & I'm sure yummy to eat!
i've honestly never seen grilled fish like that before. Makes things way more interesting. Here you just straight up grilled it with almost no additions.
Julie: *adds nutmeg*
*_John Townsend has entered the chat_*
Bruhh 😂😂
I love it!!!!
Hahahahahhaha yeah!
plot twist: all of them are level 3 chefs but are payed to act like level 1 and 2
Level 1 are becoming super confident in their kitchen
This is my favorite series on CZcams
All i know about this show is
1: why you should cook
2: why you should come home and cook
3: why you should buy food from the restaurant
4: what happened on my food.
