Catch, Clean, And Cook: ATLANTIC SALMON

[@EliasVFishing]

This was special and I thank Mario for putting up with me to complete this one. We also did a catch and cook skate and tautog at his place too. You'll want to take precautions if attempting cold smoking by freezing it at -8 degrees. He doesn't serve this dish at the place but if you are in the area here's his restaurant: sottovocerestaurant.com/

[@ryanesposito4712]

This was great. I cant wait to see the Tog one!!

[@davemojarra2666]

jay love Why you worrying bout another man's hair?

[@Moses_Kanneh]

What kind of skate did you guys cook and eat 😮

[@jimmyceltic4120]

EliasVFishing Never seen your face that happy with a catch and cook. Another cool video have a good day and stay safe

[@bubsmcgee2633]

Have you ever considered doing white fish for a catch n' cook?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I want that. def the best catch and cook yet

[@fredfable5655]

Mario...MAESTRO!!!! Absolute Master!!! Cappo di tutti li capi!! You gave everybody a lesson about how to honor a fish. From cleaning, not spoiling a single piece (I'm sure you would make a broth or a fumet with the bones..LOL) I'm very critic in how people filet/clean fish in youtube videos. I only have compliments for you... This is one of the best videos ever seen on that subject. Now about the cooking. You put it in another dimension, the absolute upper level. All your ancestors are proud of you at this moment. You brought heaven to earth. (hai portato il paradiso sulla terra) Bellisimo!!! Wonderful!!! Fred.

[@EliasVFishing]

Thanks man, Mario did an excellent job on this and I am very thankful of that. I wanted to give a more unique and rare catch the respect it deserved.

[@mariodibiase1576]

Wow. Grazie mile fred. That was such a wonderful comment. As Elias can tell you, conservation doesnt end by throwing back short fish, it continues in the kitchen by reducing waste.

[@Guilla130]

Your boy Mario made a work of art!!! Gotta be the best catch and cook I've seen.

[@mariodibiase1576]

Ramon Hernandez thank you. It was a lot of fun working with elias. Weve tried doing a catch and cook together for a year. Glad it finally happened

[@cwatson42785]

@@mariodibiase1576 Hey buddy im from RI but next trip I take to new York i plan on hitting up your restaurant! Would it be ok to say hello?

[@robertgerber2533]

I was riveted the whole video. It was really good. One of your best. Can't wait for Salmon River.

[@mikealphaxray228]

Really fantastic episode. I know this one was a lot of work so we can't expect this all the time, but this is the sort of out-of-the-box video nobody really does on youtube, and we're so glad you did.

[@arcticfuzz]

Cool, this is common with us in northern Sweden, cold smoked or cured or even cured and then cold smoked salmon or sea trout. It tastes amazing!

[@fredfable5655]

Elias, this is the Pinnacle in your catch and cook videos!!! WHAT A MASTERPIECE!! You became James Bond...You earn a License to kill!!!! LOL... No words are enough. Just INCREDIBLE, AMAZING!!!

[@libertywilly2417]

Killer how he left the head on. That had to be outstanding

[@EliasVFishing]

Cheek meat was out of this world

[@jeffgreen3276]

your dedication is so admirable! another awesome adventure! good job!

[@bugdiverhb]

Best catch and cook on the tube by far. Great Job guys. Cold smoked salmon will be on the Christmas menu.

[@MrTatts64]

Now thats one C&C I would love to have have joined you in enjoying, Elias. Excellent job man!!

[@kirillgusev2281]

Just wanted to say thank you to both of you for the show. Sharing with my wife as it's great entertainment for both: anglers and cook. Subscribed too.

[@268Killswitch]

Wow awesome video. You have an awesome network of friends Elias. I bet that fish was top notch!

[@compguynj7500]

That salmons orange color looks amazing. The farmed fish you buy at store look so different. Good job Mario!

[@mariodibiase1576]

Data Recovery NJ thank you

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

Most wild salmon has a red color, I believe this one is orange because it is in the spawning phase. For instance, I live in California and fish for King Salmon. The meat is nice and red, similar to the store. However it's wild.

[@laundry08]

This is definitely your coolest and most entertaining c&c. Thanks!

[@watertothepeople]

so mouth-watering..it's killing me. Great episode indeed!

[@Curtishardy09]

Takes me back to the pacific salmon we used to catch and smoke. Even making our own salmon dip. Was sooooo good. Thanks for triggering some excellent memories.

[@jamesroot87]

Awesome video! It was cool to see the whole smoking process. I got a chance to land some atlantics up here in CT they are a beautiful fish. Tight lines!!

[@all4him327]

Nicely done! Smoke salmon is awesome especially the Atlantic Wild. Didn't realize the time involved in the whole process but definitely worth the work. Thx for sharing.

[@akner2011]

Great to see Mario getting nothing but love, nice job.

[@mariodibiase1576]

Ak Fishing i just had a chance to scroll down to the messages. Im totally humble by all the love. Feeling awesome today

[@rmbooker1]

Great collaboration, great video and the results one could just imagine the taste. Makes you want to go and get a smoker just to try and recreate but I’ll just go to his restaurant next time in town. This one really hit the mark.

[@seancurley7954]

Absolutely love the filet job. How he said he wanted to get as much meat as he could. Saving the head for presentation was definitely a chefs touch. Did you get the cheeks by chance?

[@mariodibiase1576]

Sean Curley i wish i could post pictures here. We tore up those cheeks.

[@TheOutdoorsman]

Best catch and cook yet! Awesome video!

[@lewisward4359]

Back in the day (late Dec 1980) temperature 10F there were large spawning runs of Salmon and trout. You fished at dawn/dusk preferably cloudy days and threw spoons out from Taughannock Pt and North Point. One morning at 7:10am a landlocked salmon hooked into my lure in 5'-6' of water. The salmon quickly jumped 3 ft and threw the spoon. Went there dec 31 in the afternoon this year 50F/sunny and the last day of the season. water was 3' deep. No one was getting any bites. Still wonderful.

[@Nannymcphee1278]

Top quality video my man. Me and my moms watched this while we ate our McDonald’s and got a little envious I’ll be honest. Keep it up

[@FishFinder]

Love it! Smoked Salmon is awesome. I have an Asian recipe for that too.

[@theyscore]

Asian sounds awesome!

[@FishFinder]

yeah everybody loves a little Asian !!

[@doctoredable]

I have never seen an Asian style smoked salmon recipe. Please share.

[@pedrogtar]

I want so hard to take a chunk of that darker smoked fish. It looks so good

[@CaddiDaddy]

This was a super awesome catch and cook! If you ever pull any cool fish please do it with Mario!

[@TridentDriver]

Fascinating video!

[@spydercliff09]

Oh man that looks so good! When you busted the bagels out at the end I lost It... I want an invite next time lol

[@EliasVFishing]

Thanks Mag, I got our salmon river vid coming along this week too.

[@testbenchdude]

Awesome. I really got into smoking meets over the summer but I haven't cold smoked anything yet. Really, really want to do salmon! Thanks for this man, that looked really great.

[@curtisg.8671]

That was a great vid. Salmon cooking must have been a treat. Payed off for the catch. That woukd be a good catch and cook featuring mMario as the cook. Not taking away from your cooking but it might have something good in the future. Catching fish and having other people cook it in there best way.

[@EliasVFishing]

OH absolutely. I am fine for a basic prep and to tell you about the fish. But the culinary work goes into the other guys. I'll never boast about my cooking skills ever. I like this format A LOT, but it's tough to get peoples schedules together especially when I have a fresh catch!

[@mariodibiase1576]

Everything feel right into place with this catch and cook. Hopefully elias will invote me back for some more

[@jasminesvlogs7918]

Great catch and cook. Love the guests

[@raxxyyakgear507]

EXCELLENT Video!!! You both were Spot On! Grazi

[@dpetersontube]

That was just a pleasure to watch. Much appreciated.

[@chrislaing1356]

Stunning show bud!

[@jdudding9339]

Really cool to see the time and respect given to the fish

[@chuckpfeiffer4819]

best catch and cook yet!!!!!!!!!

[@atlantic_fishing_pursuits]

Atlantic salmon are great fighting and beautiful fish!! over here in ireland I started fishing for them last year and managed to catch three of them after many hours fishing for them and learning theyre ways!! Thats why I agree with youre friend,its definitely a fish of a life time,but its like that every time you catch one,trolling is good but fishing for them on a river thats three meters wide and then hooking up is something you never forget!! 😀🎣🎣

[@Bpocket17]

These guys are having a blast i love it

[@timrooney5608]

You guys looked like you had so much fun making this! Love the channel

[@mariodibiase1576]

Two Kids i had a lot of fun with this.

[@johncrawford9465]

What a great video. You caught a.fish and made. A very special event out of it. Thanks

[@westcoastfishingbrossuarez7436]

The fish looked so good hands down he explained everything perfect I will try this I know it won’t come out as good as his but I will try it out!! Thanks for this video keep up the great work! 👌

[@lananieves4595]

Love Sotto Voce...used to eat there a lot when I lived down the street.

[@AlbinoTurtles]

Best episode I’ve seen yet.

[@CapeCodCanalFishing]

That was a great catch and cook, it looked amazing, I've never had salmon before but after watching this I wanna try it now! 👍🏼🎣🎣🎣

[@mtmagoon1329]

Cape Cod Canal Fishing ya live in cape cod and haven't tried salmon? What's wrong with you lol

[@CapeCodCanalFishing]

mt magoon haha I know man, just have always ate white flesh fish all my life, cod, haddock, striped bass, tautog etc. I WILL be trying it soon lol

[@victorsingh9203]

Amazing best catch and cook video everything was unique about this one

[@TheMasterCaster]

Wow those are some gorgeous fish

[@EliasVFishing]

Yeah they are really awesome. Some documented natural reproduction in Lake Champlain. Cayuga has a very healthy population of them as well but it is still supported by the government. The thiamine (probably spelled that wrong) lacking from their diet is supposedly preventing them from reproducing. However, the newly invasive gobies are rich in thiamine, so maybe there is hope on the horizon.

[@TheMasterCaster]

EliasVFishing that’s very interesting! hopefully! I’d love to catch some wild salmon one day.

[@CookingandFishing]

absolutely gorgeous catch/cook, I need to start smoking something!

[@Jackstraw1179]

Great Video!

[@VincentKearney1967]

Thats is so awesome ! I think one of your best videos !!

[@hooper4581]

Wow outstanding!👏👏 Nice job. Nothing like knowing a real deal chef Mouth watering 😋

[@gilfisher7859]

This really was great. Elias, I watch all of your videos and I love seeing how hard you're working and how much it is paying off with very high quality content. Your channel has moved to the next level this year. I have long thought that you should partner with local chefs for the catch and cooks- nice to see you did that on this one and have a couple more coming. Keep up the great work!

[@EliasVFishing]

Thanks man. I like this format of mixing it up with someone that knows how to prep something special. It's hard to get schedules to work out most of the time, but when I can do it going forward, I will! Thanks man, I'm hoping to spend a lot more time outside the tri-state area next year and finally get to go around a little bit.

[@Zyxiffy]

nice video Elias that salmon looked great

[@ManiacGamesReal]

Man, if Zabars Nova Salmon bagel with cream cheese is already delicious, I can't imagine how delectable your and Mario's salmon was.

[@jimmyceltic4120]

Why would anyone give his video a thumbs down crazy

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Mario really went all out and took great care of that fish. What was the total prep time, first cut to first bite?

[@mariodibiase1576]

Fishing With LardAlmighty workwise the prep and brine take about an hour or so. The rest is either refrigerator time (12 h brining, 12 h curing) and smoke time ( 12h or 24h ) the work is really in filleting the fish.

[@mackredsnapper]

I never cared for smoked fish myself but I think that would make me change my attitude real quick. That looks delicious when it's all said and done.

[@huntergarry1507]

best video yet Elias!

[@InfectiousTom]

Great video. I really enjoyed this.

[@SlimeDonkeyTV]

Heck yea man!! Awesome video. Thats on my bucket list.

[@joshtenney8979]

Haha very nice! Beautiful fish

[@jaspertrainor]

Very, very impressive. That one will be hard to top!

[@jeffdillon870]

When you get a Finger Lakes salmon that's been feeding on a lot of scuds (freshwater shrimp) the meat is solid bright red just like a saltwater salmon and tastes absolutely amazing!

[@Schnorgldorf]

This one is a gem. Freaking awesome.

[@TsunamiSam]

Oh mama Mia ! Looks so so awesome !

[@weezerfan999]

This is my first video of yours, you are like a better sounding Ray Romano. Really liked your video and definitely jealous. I’m subbed.

[@davidk8184]

Excellent video. Enjoyed the smoking information.

[@StriperScott]

Love your vids. In Maine, if you catch an AS, you have to release it without removing it from water. Great job with smoking it. Really makes me miss my Ithaca days.

[@DougJenkins777]

Nice , loved the vid ... beautiful fish , well caught and well culled. Let me know if you take a trip out to the Oregon coast!

[@MarkLada]

Mario is legit man.. Are his go kart skills on par with his knife and and smoking skills?

[@Bsprecksfishing]

best catch and cook ever!

[@DonGrigorianFishing]

Elias I had such a hard-on watching this video!!! Your friend knows exactly what he's doing bro!

[@rockyesposito7051]

Great, great video Elias (and Mario)! Right before Christmas, I usually drive from NJ to Juniors in Brooklyn to pick up Cheesecakes. I been lazy the past few years, and been ordering online. I definitely have to make the drive this year AND also try Mario’s restaurant too. Cant wait to see the Tog & Skate video!

[@EliasVFishing]

Thanks man, def need to pay attention to how to build your own smoker soon...

[@mariodibiase1576]

Rocky Esposito and we make rhe best italian cheese cake at Sotto voce. Stop by when ypu are in town

[@snakemonkey555]

Freaking awesome catch n cook! Thanks man!

[@sublordlord7834]

I love this video. You seem to enjoy making this video can see it in your face.

[@tallidavis7582]

Been waiting for this you should come to Nh and fish

[@felixvalera534]

Omg Elias I just have water in my mouth after that video 🤤🤤🤤👍

[@tedjackson5272]

Nice going Elias, now I'm going to have to run out and get a onion bagle with lox.

[@Violence0vAction]

That reaction to the first bite of 24 hr lol

[@SmealCo]

Cool Video. It would be awesome if Mario showed the views how to make one of those smoking rigs.

[@outdoors-fun]

I spend alot of time chasing salmon. Im surprised to see you catch one on that Keitech lol. Streamers, Mooselooks, and DB Smelts work great. You gotta know what depth they are running tho, hard to do without your fishfinder tho.

[@tacklecentralfishing1051]

I am due to get back to Duluth and try and catch an Atlantic Salmon.

[@Curtishardy09]

There was a time. That the bars on the Oregon coast had smoked perch just in bowls to munch on like peanuts. It was free with your beer. How times have changed.

[@LongIslandtoMd]

E: Agree with everyone else. Your best one yet.

[@michaelnicolaysen7391]

Nice catch, I kind of regret not smoking the chinooks I caught this year now.

[@phlevelfishing2835]

This video was awesome thank you for posting this! How does he smoke shad with so many bones he doesn’t take them all out does he?

[@steverogers5228]

Great catch and cook. I have a tendency to overcook salmon

[@HunterM430]

Mario seems super cool man! Would he ever go on a fishing trip and do a video with you???

[@mariodibiase1576]

Hunter M thank you. We've been out on the yaks together and yes definitely want to do the catch and cook from beginning to end toi.

[@l.i.archer5379]

I have brined and smoked bluefish and it is really goooooood.

[@chinchillaintheheat2641]

You should do a great lakes trip

[@thunderbunny4592]

My buddy is moving to NY and i told him about Sotto Voce and he should be checking it out in a few weeks

[@ct7024]

Beautiful cut and color

[@dagluke]

Phenomenal content

[@ANTROBUSN]

Man this was epic!

[@christopherbiegel9553]

I'm going to have to try this with the salmon get catch out here in the NW. Keeping the smoke chamber below 80F if going to be the challenge.

[@lil_craigslist3353]

Awesome fish.! JUST AMAZING😁

[@ct7024]

Awesome absolutely

[@davidvandiford9956]

Elias is this the same Salmon I caught in Cayuga Lake. We got way more Lake Trout and like one Brown. I fished a week and got a few Salmon. I was fishing in Taughannoc falls state park. Had a blast and the people treated me good.
