$513 vs $21 Salmon: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

[@briancoleman9330]

I love their chemistry together. I don't remember seeing a Chef compliment the plating as sincerely as Yuji did.

[@cyberpunkcentral8500]

Yuji is always a delight; very respectful, polite, and encouraging to the challenge participants. ❤

[@billyspears396]

Everyone talking about the bad fileting, but can we just agree that Dan's plating in the dish was immaculate? That's one of the best plates I've ever seen on this channel.

[@pedrocloneLIVE]

Daniel admitting he did a poor filet job, but can we agree they did him dirty by having him filet a $350 dollar fish without a proper knife?!

[@xxPenjoxx]

I was surprised they didn't give him a fillet knife. Even a fishmonger could make a bad cut with a bulky chef knife.

[@clshady3051]

He probably didn't think to ask for one.

[@Bella-qw4dw]

adding to the point. i didn't even know you're supposed to use a different knife 😂

[@iancryar6431]

I grew up in the Deep South where fish is a very important part of the meals and using proper tools to prepare the meals is just as important. Daniel must likely didn’t know to ask for the correct knife

Yuji is such a boss. Love to see how he utilizes every part of every ingredient!

[@wendycarballo7092]

I came here to say the same. No waste!

[@electra424]

He is amazing!!! He uses every part of everything in such ingenious, creative and delicious ways.

I don't know how it took me this long to realize Chef Yuji's restaurant is in the same city I live in. Just made a reservation and I can't wait.

[@artemislunanettybecker8641]

How did it go? Was it as amazing as expected?

[@raytrix1]

​@@coderpunksanonymousgroup8304 It was very delicious! The restaurant is small, it only seats 12, so it was a nice intimate atmosphere and the food was served quickly. We got both types of ramen being served (the menu was not long - it also changes every day, it seems) as well as an appetizer. There was a lot of flavor depth to every dish. The vegetables were extremely fresh, all of the ingredients were great quality. A great meal, definitely recommend!

I love how impressed the chef was with the presentation. Like you could tell he had a genuine reaction to that.

Chef Yuji's rice burger and especially the kakiage was so clever. Great way to get texture and extend a smaller portion of salmon.

It is actually completely irrelevant. He did not present the raw fish for sale or consumption and the end product was beautiful.

[@benjaminvdvyt]

So did I.

[@PassiveAgressive319]

[@JohnB-mo4kq]

Not everyone grew up fishing and learning how to filet a fish. I've been doing my entire life, and still not a pro at it. In fact, doing it is my least favorite part of any fishing trip. I always elect to be the cook.

[@ytnewhandlesystem42]

ngl considering the effort they already put into this series, they didn't get ol' Rose to guide Dan on how to fillet or even just let him watch a youtube video on how to fillet so that he doesn't get blindsided

[@Elmo-u2j]

Epi!!! Please can we have some Korean cuisine or Korean chefs on this series!!

[@melissafields3376]

[@brittanyt729]

[@Flazius]

That fileting of the salmon physically hurt my heart.

[@ReadingOne]

I’ve never filleted a fish myself…gutted one, yes, but it was cooked whole afterwards…but I also have watched enough Reed the Fishmonger that I think I could manage it a little better than Daniel, if given a proper knife.

[@josephengel8263]

They didn’t give him any real instruction and they didn’t give him a filet knife

[@Lilas.Duveteux]

Both are quite different in the way they initially wanted to prepare salmon. In my family, it's seasoned with garlic, parsley and virburnum or rowan.

In Indonesia the Kakiage will be called Bakwan, and for like 3 pens you can buy one in the streetstall. They fry it fresh every time someone comes, and it serves with green birdchillys. they also sell Tempe and Tahu ( tofu ) goreng mean fry depending on the seller and region they sometimes even sell a whole range of fry.
