A Little Fishy On A Little Dishy - Mackerel, Tats, Asparagus - Narrowboat Cooking

  • Gooday everyone and hoping that here in the UK especially (though parts of Europe are suffering much worse), you're enjoying and coping with this incredible summer weather. In all honesty and for me at least, I think a drop of rain wouldn't go amiss. In fact in some areas of the UK, the weather has gone from one extreme to the other, and are now experiencing torrential downpours and thunder.
    In this video I have a treat for my 1000's of cookery fans - a quick, tasty, healthy and nutritious meal - whole mackerel, new potatoes and asparagus.
    Also I give an update on when I'll be getting back to the cruising videos again, as well as why some of the canals are closed in places.

    Incredible experience being able to travel in time watching TBN, i.e., filming, editing, posting or posting, editing, filming; now I'm confused, but good for the brain. Excellent to hear about your optional personal approach at a varied pace, exploring the canals and countryside. Different outlook/perspective on things? Hope you did not have too much time while relaxing for mischievous behavior. Anyway, see you in the space-time continuum. Your fellow time traveler. Thanks again Kevin, "Gent of the Canals."

    Kevin, it’s good to see you cooking again. As an adolescent, I used to spend many summers staying with my grandfather on Cape Cod. He had me help tend his vegetable garden, which included asparagus. When the asparagus was in season, we ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and learned that snap point on the stem leaves off the tough stringy base and leaves you the best of the top part. So put down the knife and snap away. Cheers!

    Glad to see you back Kevin. You were the first person I thought about when I heard of the heat wave happening in Europe. I don't imagine that Aslan is air conditioned. I hope you are not suffering to badly. The fish dish looked quite delish. I will offer you the same advice that you offered us, keep hydrated and try to keep cool. Cheers mate.

    For those not from the UK, wondering about the temperatures, we've experienced 2 separate weeks of above 30C, this summer, which hasn't happened since 1976. Normally, the summer temperature is ~23C +/-4C. The weather broke with thunderstorms and rain, 3 days ago, where I am, so we're back to normal temperatures.

    • @CountryHouseGent
      @CountryHouseGent  Před 2 lety +2

      The temperature around the lower half of the UK has remained around 30 - 35c for most of the time. Combined with little to no breeze, it's been hard going at times. Hit 38 one day.

      Mackerels are considered some of the most nutritious fishes. They're an excellent source of protein, vitamins B2, B3, B6, and B12, and vitamin D. Their flesh is also full of minerals like copper, selenium, and iodine. Some of these fishes also contain good amounts of iron and vitamin B1.
