Chef, that looks good. I am brazillian, but will not join the hate train, I understand that this is your take On the dish, and I bet it tastes amazing, but as a fellow cook, I will say that the techiniche is different from the original, you see, the idea here is not to poach the fish, but "steam" it. Next time try this, put more of each vegetable, more onions, more Bell Peppers and tomatos, and lay it down On the Botton of the pot, add the coconut milk (and palm oil, if you wish) and than the fish over the vegetables. Cook it with the lid On and dont mix it, keep it in layers until the fish is fully cooked. And then enjoy! But Hey you are the TriBeCa of your brazillian moqueca. So who cares =). Cheers!

[@Ashleyvr-cw2yn]

Miyagi Saito thanks! I'd never actually heard of the dish until I watched this video, but now I'm interested in making a variation with his ingredients and your technique.

[@diotenchi]

Miyagi Saito, you defined moqueca perfection right there.

[@dannicron]

See, this is constructive criticism, helpful and insightful, unlike these other people simply bitching around that it's not traditional enough.

[@guguigugu]

actually useful advice, instead of pointless hate. thank you.

[@kristianwilliams441]

"You are the J. R. R. Tolkien of making sure that your guests aren't chokin'." Can someone make a supercut of all of Chef John's puns? Please?

[@taylorsessions4143]

Kristian Williams I hope so! they are like little gems hidden in his videos

[@emartin7166]

Kristian Williams It exists! At least a lot of them.. It's on the channel I believe.

[@bonniebrier7174]

It is called Chef John Rhyming & Stealing . It's here on youtube.

[@DingusMcBrungus]

You are the Vishnu of your Brazilian fish stew

[@foodwishes]

You win.

[@DingusMcBrungus]

+Food Wishes I'm not ashamed to admit this is my greatest achievement in life

[@cmn2012]

Food Wishes chef how bout a lobster roll recipe or your spin on it

[@etherdog]

I was going to say, "You are the Shiva of your moqueca," because you reincarnate the dish into something universal.

[@izabelasalles2597]

As a brazilian, I am flattered and you did very well!!

[@rookam_]

Izabela Salles as well like brazilians doing japanese food hahahaha

[@LuxurioMusic]

Bro dont drag him like that

[@jeyendeoso]

Chef John once again, many thanks on doing a recipe from my country. Unlike the food police that gets triggered when you don't use an original ingredient and says the recipe is ruined, I appreciate immensely your work and help spreading the culture of Brazil in an accessible and easy way for people worldwide to make.

[@diegodutra9687]

You did it very well, chef John! I am from Brazil and I make Moqueca every month and it's ok to change ingredients once in a while or it gets boring. BUT, of course, keep the coconut milk and the cilantro! Or it can't be called a Moqueca. The rest of the ingredients you choose, be free, be happy! I deeply love your channel!

[@MrAndrewmcgibbon]

the sauce without the fish would be good on anything. Fish, chicken, shredded roast pork, Roofing Shingles, An old TV guide with Bea Arthur on the cover.

[@sandraomar3007]

God of Thunder lol

[@hlonghi]

I wont lie: I clicked this one just to see how you would pronounce "Moqueca" lol And I have to admit you nailed it Chef John! Good job in not completely butchering both recipe and pronunciation. Cheers from your brazilian fan!

[@marlonribeiro2216]

Apesar de muitas pessoas escrevendo que isso não é moqueca, o que importa é a intenção de replicar o prato, adequando aos ingredientes e paladar europeu. Obrigado por divulgar uma receita brasileira. Thank you for sharing a Brazilian recipe.

[@browzy2000]

I had to give this video a thumbs up as soon as he said "Dont forget you are the JRR Tolken of making sure your guests arent chokin'"

[@TheShinzuiCollective]

Daaaaaamn that Falcons shade tho 👏🏻

[@taylorsessions4143]

Daniel Sagun haha I caught that too!

[@TheUnknown285]

As a Falcons fan, that made me laugh and cry at the same time.

[@gabrielgonzales7727]

what was the joke?

[@sdfdsv]

Freakishly small wooden spoon is back yet again...

[@drawnimo]

[@wyisu]

As a proud member of Hueland (aka Brazil), I can assure that, although this recipe is not 100% authentic, it's close enough and is probably tasty.

[@sweetshoez]

Been a vegan for approaching a year now and I'm not planning on stopping but I still watch and support all your videos, almost obsessively. Watching someone cook well is soothing to the eye, like watching someone paint. Keep it up

[@Ashleyvr-cw2yn]

Blacktician be careful! it's a slippery slope. I was a vegetarian for ten years and after getting really into KZbin cooking videos I have backslid into meat eating. This is my cautionary tale...beware...BEWARE!!

[@hacerclic1020]

If you're not tired yet of tofu-in-everything, it would probably make a good substitute for the fish in this recipe. I'm not even vegan, and I would eat it.

[@aninhapoortiz]

Nice effort! I'm brazilian and to be honest i prefere moqueca almost like you did (i dont really like to much spice). I dont understand people complaining about tradicional way to cook. We do the same thing with paella, sushi (we eat sushi with chocolate for the love of god! Haha). As always, we enjoy it!

[@mauriciovianna3732]

Thank you chef John for your take on this dish! Cheers from Brazil!

[@Eyeconoklast]

That sea bass looked absolutely beautiful when you were slicing it.

[@nickross1002]

john idk how you manage a goofy rhyme every single time but daaaamn im impressed

[@26muca07]

To all the butthurt brazilians saying this is not our beloved fish stew, pay attention at 0:09 right at the beginning. Enough said, its HIS twist on this recipe. Chef John knows what he's doing, it's a great recipe if not better than the traditional

[@abesyparrado]

sooo happy chef John made this, I finally have another way to cook fish aside from frying it.. and it's something I know everyone will like!!!

[@chucklehead2000]

Man, you go around the world doing everything amazing. I'm glad I found your channel!!

[@anaypatil97]

that actually looks very appetizing

[@foodwishes]

Why you gotta sound surprised?

[@taylorsessions4143]

Food Wishes I think because most people don't have access to fresh seafood there are many who don't think fish is appetizing. In my experience, my opinion of seafood goes up and down depending on my location.

[@Eisofice]

Something I can eat! I'd love to see more vegetarian/ pescatarian recipes please, often it's difficult to replace the meat with vegitarian substitutions because they're often dramatically different in texture and cooking requirements. Also, Chef John you made me do it, I love eggs with Cayenne pepper on now, I can't go back to just salt and black pepper anymore.

[@strangulator42]

you are the J.R.R Tolkien of your guests aren't chokin'.... that is GOLD right there...

[@isabela.ferreira]

Guys, try to find Palm oil and put couple spoons in there. You'll love the taste, changes everything, this is tradicional here. BTW, great job chef John!

[@Arcadiac89]

Beautiful colors in this dish.

[@moonlighter6]

Bless you, a delicious dish. Following your expertise and the care in the preparation of food has led to me losing weight! Too many American's choose fast and quick but preparing quality food dishes at home is a much smarter 'weight wise' choice.

[@manzanitafuji3420]

everybody cooks different. .the flavor is the key to success in the kitchen. .100% that this recipe is delicious

[@drinsey143]

I love this guy name chef John😆👌between his cooking and sense of humor, idk which is the best🤗👍

[@italojosemagalhaesdeolivei6205]

i like all your videos, and i'm brazillian see this video make my day a bit more happier

[@TheMissBeki]

"best not to dwell" lol .. words to live by .. thank you Swami Chef John :D

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That looks spectacular. It's so bone chilling cold outside, in Alberta right now. I could certainly go for that.

[@r.mcbride2837]

Oh, that looks beyond delicious! I'm making that!

[@Xycopixie]

You make everything so simple! I don't even like cooking but I like trying your recipes.

[@wendymcdonald3707]

I am addicted to your channel. Another great one. Thank you. It is what's for dinner this weekend.

[@mapledoodle5516]

That looks awesome and seems quick and easy.

[@Darlyon3]

"You are the J R R Tolkien of making sure you're guests aren't chokin'" 😂 Yes Chef John!

[@edumont88]

I'm really digging the color of that stew. Honestly that alone is enough for me to make this recipe one night. Thanks John.

[@RainbowGardens]

Looks very nice!

[@acrophobe]

I've favorited so many food wishes videos I don't know why I even bother doing it manually one at a time anymore. Does youtube have some sort of auto-favorite feature?

[@marianamendes2434]

Congrats! Nice take on the original! This is one of my favorite dishes and yours made me crave some moqueca! Hahaha

[@XFOX1996]

I just cooked this for my family, they loved it. Very nice way to eat fish. Thanks from sweden! :D

[@Crulex]

This looks like a perfect dish to have during Lent.

[@Metallian2112]

This has to be one of the most delicious looking things you've posted.

[@kakkopanda]

chef john, you have no idea how happy i am whenever i see you doing any dish from my country =) by the way, sea bass is one of the traditional fish to use in this recipe =) really love your channel =) greetings from brasil =)

[@miserablemagical92]

I love this guy.

[@PeterSnodwind]

I'm Brazilian and I approve of this video/method/message. :)

[@marciocattini12]

I was hoping for a Brazilian recipe video for so long! And don't worry the southeast version of moqueca traditionally does not use palm oil! And I prefer it that way!

[@ricettedigabri]

bravo!! buonissima!

[@thomasthun]

You make the world better Chief John! Chef...I can't spell. Devos moment.

[@o0Avalon0o]

It doesn't matter how recently I've eaten, you're channel always makes me hungry. lol. I'll have to try this one myself!

[@Dhamian]

Looks really good! If you ever find palm oil, use it at the end to finish the dish instead of frying the onions in it, the oil has lots of solids that can burn and leave a bitter taste.

[@pseudobeanmachine9770]

Interesting fusion of flavours!

[@ValidStranger]

Good heavens that looks so good!! Totally making this!

[@CurlyCrafter8]

i made this last week! i love moqueca

[@chriscreque1]

Chef John deserves more followers. He's the best food youtuber imo. Come on guys lets get him to 2 million followers and beyond!!

[@neharoxx1]

chef John is love chef John is life

[@cavernamarcelo]

Nice take on our dish chef John! Would like to taste it! Bur I must say that we also use bell peppers, another cut of fish (the perpendicular to the length of the animal, don't know how you call it up there) with bones and skin on, and palm oil, it makes moqueca tastes even better! You can make moqueca of a variety of fishes, shellfishes (shrimp is the king here), eggs (!!) and even plantains (!!!!). Been a subscriber for years now, you are an excellent teacher.

[@trooperpompeu]

As a brazilian, thats a good moqueca, chef jonh!

[@RenatoChiappim]

I love it! Greetings from Brasil!

[@michaellee2315]

I'm thinking a splash of fish sauce would work better than the soy sauce, would it?

[@vaxen2426]

i don't understand who dislikes these videos.

[@dioradri]

"Yes, these things do happen, it's best not to dwell" lol Life lessons from Chef John

[@joaodfreire]

Hey John nice try on Brazilian food , just like the feijoada isn't the real thing but man , as a Brazilian, thx to show the world some of our food.

[@Zomy_Streams]

I've been interested in trying new fish dishes. Thanks!

[@Jackpowerse]

RoseTheRiot what is fish? who knows

[@abefrohman1759]

Looks delicious.

[@jackiewinters5792]

Oh my goodness, that looks delicious! My daughter is allergic to seafood, so I'll be making this with chicken.

[@ms.keyshawineglass7590]

Chef John not a fan of coconut milk but this looks amazing. Will definitely be adding this to my Black History Luncheon this month!

[@Kezleigh_Art]

I am part of that 10-12%! lol I will add parsley instead.

[@Mindofthequill]

Yup I started drooling

[@rayhutchings7]

a joy to watch, thanks

[@erichansen197]

I find it interesting that (subtract the weekday selection of fish) this seems to have a similar component to a lot of Thai cuisine. A mixture of salty, sweet, and spicy seem to have prevalent features in both cultures. A further point as to how food is one of the best ways to show just how similar we all are.

[@Mrsgates2010]

Absolutely stunning!!! 😍

[@mcd0ndal]

I've seen this before at a barbeque!! I guess I'll try making it now.

[@BonevoodooMusic]

Oh !That looked so good and easy to make, also It looked like It's Keto friendly too, (without the rice), Thanks your Bestus ever P/s Don't feel lonely I Love Cayenne pepper too..

[@jcubwolf]

My version involves an insulting amount of cilantro during the cooking process and then garnishing with more cilantro.

[@ChefJusticeHunter]

No one gives a fuck.

[@ilovesparky13]

I'm the same way, but with green onions.

[@Rem694u2]

Gross. Dish soap grass flavour. lol

[@pantalonesenfuego]

Chef John, would it be ok to substitute fish sauce (like Three Crabs) instead of soy sauce?

[@deb8911]

Love the fish stew recipes around Valentine's Day 😂

[@OldManCookin]

Chef ... I think you take is wonderful!! Course I'm biased... :)

[@guiantonio5248]

hi from Brazil chef John

[@christinawhite9256]

This is delicious, I'm sure. If only I could eat hot spices, but I can dream. Thank you for the video!!!

[@bobloblaw6138]

Suggestions for a good alternative to sea bass? Or just another good fish that would work for this?

[@annieslife4476]

that looks amazing

[@jmadrid]

I am Brazilian, and indeed, this is a adapted version, which is fine and actually amazing =) seems really good, and I would only potentially not at Paprika since this not what we usually add in Brazil, the rest. =D I love when our Brazilian dishes are recreated by other countries, it is this amazing mixture and remix of dishes that eventually might create the new Feijoada, the new Jambalaya, or all these dishes that were born out of cultural exchange.

[@Steve-ze3kl]

This is one of my favorite things I've made. I forgot where I got the recipe but I am definitely going to try yours.

[@kgrace9360]

U always cook amazingly! in gonna have 2 try this! Yum!!!

[@albertobatres5511]

everything about this sounds awesome and yeah I learned the hard way not to use light/low fat coconut milk :)

[@HeidiLongueuil]

How do you decide on so many good recipes?! It's so rare you post anything anymore that I'm not making within the next 3 days. 😅

[@oldhippy1017]

That looks really good, I'd eat that I like fish.

[@diotenchi]

Amazing as always, Chef John. If you manage to get some Dende Oil, it does make a huge difference in taste, though.

[@felix1362]

Nice recipe

[@MarkWoodChannel]

Beautiful, 10-12% huh? I'll use parsley thank you very much.

[@FoodFlipped]

great recipe chef. thanks!

[@curtisleow]

O my god, Becky look at that sea bass.

[@EricJacobson1990]

that looks fantastic!

[@lennypearl]

I'd love to see your take on something from traditional Finnish cuisine like Karjalan piirakka (Karelian pasties which are rice "pies" with egg butter - my personal favorite Finnish speciality) or Karjalanpaisti (Karelian stew). Although the later is just beef and pork stew flavored with onions and allspice berries, not much to modify! Or how about kalakukko, which is sort of like a shooter's sandwich but with vendance.

[@mwambamwelwa]

When you so early the video isn't even available in your country yet 😂😂😂

[@drawnimo]

quality comment right here

[@nowakindustries]

Dear people from the future: that was a Super Bowl LI joke

[@gabrielgonzales7727]

what was the joke?

[@booksugarchessmagic]

Thanks so much...I can't wait to try this one.
