Campfire Cooking, Chef Daves Creole Tilapia

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

The comments are already pouring in about Tilapia being poison and garbage fish. I know, I hear it all the time but Sams, Walmart, Kroger and Publix still sells it. Just remember ANY fish can be cooked with this method and sauce.

[@edgit69]

Reallybigmonkey1 Tilapia is delicious! You gotta try the Tony C's seasoning in the shaker. Makes anything so good that you put in on. Now you got me hungry..

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh yes! I do have one of them Tony Cs shakers. I add them spices to my grits or rice all the time.

[@DannyWalker1949]

I've used the Tony's C's seasoning for many years in just about all my food items its good on Breakfast-Dinner & Supper Foods. Something you like Try this on it and see IF it helps the taste.

[@tikkidaddy]

Wow! Now there's some history for you. I love Tonys seasonings and I use the old green can with amost everything...well except vanilla ice cream. LOL! Been tellin Dave he needed to brought that out in dem woods!

[@bobbyharper8710]

Reallybigmonkey1 Yes, Chinese tilapia gets rejected a lot by US inspectors so you can expect that a lot of bad stuff gets through. To me it taste like trash fish carp so I don't buy it.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cooking process to remember > Start fire allow to burn to coals. With coals, as you add dry wood, you get flames and intense heat. Most foods cooked need boiling then simmering. You will never boil over coals and never simmer over flames so always put all pots over coals then add more wood. The intense flames will boil, die down to coals and allow simmering. This is the easiest method of controlling heat in a camp fire

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot1228]

The shape of the grill is really good. Can balance easily and have plenty of room for pots and pans.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Also, it has the advantage of having more fire under one side so you can rotate the pots over more or less heat

[@ped832]

I just needed another calming video from my friend. Thanks Dave😊

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@patriciavyce1993]

[@k9razz]

Wow that looks amazing absolutely incredible !

[@benthere8051]

Your video brought back many fond memories from my childhood. My bushcraft education began at a very early age a very long time ago. My grandmother was born on the Texas plains in the 1890's. When I was 7 yoa or so, she took me out in her back yard in her small Texas town and taught me how to cook over a campfire. I learned how to construct a fireplace, how to start a one-match fire, and how to cook a meal over that fire. Bushcraft wasn't just bushcraft back then, it was how you got from today to tomorrow.... I learned so much from that dear, sweet lady and I thank you so much for reviving thise memories for me.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for sharing that story Jim!

[@granvillej3316]

excellent video brother my mouth watered watching you cook and then eat this awesome video thanks for sharing.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it man!

[@Mark-cv3ne]

Great meal , looks like a lot of fun to make and enjoy while out in the woods .. That's what it is all about enjoying yourself and seeing what you can do out there . 👍👍

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Chef Boy'R Dave, Hmmmm mmmm mmmm, you always make me hungry with these Creation Chef style food's. I could almost smell them cooking.,,.

[@TheFunkymunky22]

Great surprise video for a Saturday... thanks for your time!

[@Hukfyn]

Nice one Dave love a new recipe. You certainly put a lot of time and effort in your videos. Food looks great thanks for sharing your time. Fish is the dish 👌🏻

[@ConstantinDV]

Most people don't even get the big life lesson in a simple video like this. For many of us is simply therapeutic to see that life offers plenty of peace and quiet enjoyment and one needs not be a Rockefeller to enjoy Creation. Thank you for a blissful moment of quiet simplicity.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Aint that the truth. Sometimes you just gotta leave all the bull in life behind you and hit the woods and enjoy!

[@ConstantinDV]

Thanks! :-)

[@Rickburkettgmail.comBucket60]

You got my mouth watering Dave. Great job

[@rasiabsgamingcorner2258]

[@ronhart8857]

[@dustin254]

Love your vids! There's always a little something in each of your vids I can add to my hikes on the AT. You're the reason I started bungee'ing my pack to the trees...best idea ever!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

[@gray5627]

Seriously good looking food!! Thanks for sharing!!! :-)

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and I'm always happy to share. Thanks for watching

[@fishing4truth91]

Dave you are just about the most entertaining outdoorsman that I've ever seen. You have a lot of knowledge and versatility in shelter making; you keep things simple but fun & I like that. The first video of yours that I watched was the El Cheapo heated shelter where you used a welding blanket for a fire wall. It was simple common sense that bordered on genius. You're great man, keep em coming!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you my videos and what all I do! See ya in the next one

[@patriciavyce1993]

"Chef Dave" yummm " campfire gourmet cooking,.oh yea,"funtastic !"😋👍

[@terrychorn1503]

Another great entertaining video Dave! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Terry, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and lots more to come!

[@Derek-fe5hi]

Chef Dave strikes again. That looked great. Awesome idea for carrying at least one days worth of items that need to stay cold. Derek

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Derek!

[@MClarke]

Thanks Dave, I have been watching for years, I will never get tired of your videos !!! KZbin was made for people like you, it's so much more honest than TV. I'm really not sure how anyone could watch your videos and say anything negative, but I do know the problem is with them, not you.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for the support brother! I guess you cant make everyone happy?

[@georgesweap7]

As always, a good instructional and informational video that made me hungry!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Tom, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

Anothergreat entertaining and informative video from you David - thank you for uploading it. For those who don't believe how effective the cool storage system described by yourself is all they have to do is place ice cubes in a plastic bag, and wrap it up as shown by yourself and check after say 6 hours.

[@Tmlps2]

Thanks mucho Chef Dave. That was some 4-star, al fresco dining right there! Oh, and the flexible freezer IS the idea I've been waiting a lifetime for, LOL. I swear I learn something new & fascinating on each of your vids. Guess that should make me pretty smart these past coupla yrs. :) Thanks again Dave

[@farmtrout66]

Looks great David! The Mylar bag idea is fantastic . Thanks for another great video!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

[@patriciavyce1993]

Thanks Dave !" Nice dinner,.nice time...👍👍👍

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks!

[@RM-io7qo]

You've certainly done yourself proud there with your cooking, Dave. I could almost smell and taste your meal from here and in fact I shall be having Quinoa as part of tomorrow night's evening meal. Actually I had fish this evening. Well chef Dave, I know you enjoyed your meal as much as I enjoyed watching you prepare it in your video. Take care...

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it as much as I liked eating it! LOL. Thanks for watching John

[@elvismcgentrix5275]

Reminds me of being a boy in the Scouts and making gourmet scrambled pancakes... It seems you just keep outdoing yourself! Another enjoyable episode.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ah the good ole Scouting days. Some eat good and some eat really good!

[@WarGrrl3]

tilapia is fantastic! I should be there sharing that delicious meal w you. nice job. yum tilapia. catfish sucks, bourbon is good...lol

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh yes it is! I have no idea why some folks just hate Tilapia.

[@nut4nextel]

Wonderful man!! I was so hungry after watching the video. Can't wait to try it!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Michael!

[@TheArkousin]

Your cooler reminded me, as a kid, carrying ice water to the cotton patch. We filled a gallon jug with ice & water, then wrapped the jug with newspaper & put it in a brown grocery sack & the water stayed cold until noon.

[@woodswalker64]

Wow, this video is amazing Dave! That dish looks better than most dishes you would get in a restaurant. I've seen all your cooking videos, and i'd have to agree, along with the time you made that dish with alligator, this is my favorite one. You my friend are a true chef of the forest. Thanks for making me hungry and inspiring me to cook more than noodles and oatmeal when camping, because that's basically what i'm still doing! LOL. Thanks Dave and look forward to the next one.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Man Ive had my fair share of noodles and oatmeal. I still eat it but not often!

[@still-jlynn]

Yum, yum, yum! I don't know how you do it, getting so many things going at the same time & it all turns out!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ah was it ever stressful!

[@tooterr102e.9]

Now if you had treegrilla and a bucket you would have a table and a chair. For a fancy meal you should have a fancy table and chair. LOL. Keep that up and you are going to make somebody a mighty fine house wife. LOL. You can sew and cook delicious meals. LOL. With jokes aside. Really enjoyed the video. Liked the way you controlled the fire and like your grill. Thank you for sharing your immense wealth of knowledge.

[@davehogg63]

Another great video Chef Dave, the meal looks delicious,personally I like my sauce a little thicker. However cooking outside it is a difficult juggling job to turn out a great dish of food, well done!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Dave, I'm glad you liked it. I like my sauce thicker too but, over a campfire and filming it I just couldnt watch it that close to make it happen. Thanks for watching

[@michaeldehart2753]

Dave, you NAILED it with this meal. All my favorites included. l don't care what anyone says, Tilapia is one of my favorite fish. I CANNOT wait to make this dish myself. As l told you before, l have my shelters planned, my bushcraft skills outlined, and now my overnight menu complete. All of your tips tricks and ideas are going to make for one WONDERFUL couple of days in the woods. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. I'm so thrilled that l found you here on KZbin. You're an amazing guy. Keep those videos coming.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Michael, I'm glad you liked it that much. Man if you pack right, you can have foods like this for up to three days during camping. I use the mylar sack for one nighters. I add frozen water bottles for more than two nights. Cook and enjoy brother and Thanks for watching

[@michaeldehart2753]

l actually have like 10 Mylar emergency blankets, so l plan to fold it down to size before l tape it. That way I'll have multiple layers of Mylar and am going to incorporate either a strap or drawstring closure for it. I'll let you know how it turns out.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds good, the more layers the better.

[@AnooshSU35]

Reallybigmonkey1 hey Dave, you did it in amazing way as always, and i wanna ask what's the camera you use ?

[@gabrial3377]

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. LOL, The clean up was a chore! Thanks for watching

[@JimRodgers]

I've always loathed cooking complicated meals when I get out in the woods because I'm lazy about the clean up. But Dave, you've come as close as anyone to changing my opinion about cooking when I get out backpacking! That looks delicious, and I think that even someone with my limited cooking skills could pull that off. Thanks for sharing that great feast.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Very cool Jim! Honestly, with a little planning and just the right grill? Its pretty easy.

[@stevebennett1584]

Hey Dave....thanks for another great episode of "Cafe Pearson's very own Chef Dave and his bushcraft kitchen magic''...It looked delicious brother, and I'm sure it was...hope y'all are well,.. take care and God bless...CHEERS !!
