Cooking Burbot Lobster Style!

[@ralphgoldsborough4392]

I’m going to try that today. Caught a few of them in Massachusetts

[@LTOutdoors15]

They're delicious 🙌

[@KevinObrien-sj3rj]

I was told to put a quarter cup of white sugar in the water also

[@LTOutdoors15]

I've heard that for doing drum lobster style but hadnt heard that about burbot. Heck burbot is so good it doesn't need much🙌

[@brianve7jyd943]

Looks great my son is fishing for some tonight. We will give it a try Thank you

[@LTOutdoors15]

I hope he catches some!!!

[@colettegroen410]

I watched this video and loved how you went through each step. We caught a nice big burbot and heard of it being the poor man's lobster. We did exactly as you said and it turned out absolutely perfect. 👍

[@LTOutdoors15]

That makes me so happy, I'm glad I was able to help. Its definitely a delicacy! My favorite fish for the table too. Thanks for the mind comment and for your support 🙌

[@LoreliYourczek-me1rt]

I like the fact that you used the whole filet instead of just the back strap.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thank you!! It drives me crazy to see people only take the back strap....such a waste, I feel most learned that idea from incorrect fillet videos

[@Trudgewild]

I hope I can catch another Master Angler Burbot this year. Thanks for your inspiration and information.

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊🙌 I'm sure you will brother!!! I hope you have a blast out there

[@Dogsrule777]

Right on! Thanks for posting!

I'm stoked to try this tonight, thanks for the recipe!

[@LTOutdoors15]

You're going to love it!!!

they also use pollock for imitation lobster or crab in a process called surimi which also uses sugar and salt etc so maybe pollock can also be a poor mans lobster the same way you made it here, i would put the raw fish in a brine of salt ,sugar and lemon juice(helps remove the fishy smell and taste) and a bit of vinegar does the same then after a day i would remove the fish and cut it into chunks and boil them in the same brine

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's a good idea! I bet that would be excellent!

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@LTOutdoors15 give it a try,,hey maybe you can try with pike too who knows ,they do tend to have a somewhat rubbery or plastic like taste and texture that might absorb that kind of flavour from a brine too

[@erikalessard]

...or crap??

[@LTOutdoors15]

😂😂

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@erikalessard lol ooops ill correct that right away ,ty lovely miss erika

[@Seektruth-59]

I only cook the belly meat this way

[@LTOutdoors15]

I definitely prefer it fried

[@thunderrapids644]

Great video, I will try this when we catch one!

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thank you so much!! They're such a delicious fish, by far my favorite 😊

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

I wanna try this in a poor mans lobster roll...

[@LTOutdoors15]

Itll be delicious I'm sure! They've become my favorite fish to eat

[@robhill3378]

great video

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks Rob!! Its so darn tasty

[@Mr.libertarian0812]

Supposed to boil in 7UP soda

[@LTOutdoors15]

Everyone has their own way traditional style didnt involve soda

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Great info friend

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@jonathanboerema2872]

I have only cooked a few of these fish, both ways are great.

[@LTOutdoors15]

They sure are!

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Burbot get a bad rap. They are great fish. We have them here in Alaska and I used to catch them growing up in Minnesota but they call them eelpout. Walleye fisherman get mad when they catch burbot and act like they are a shit fish. They are great eating.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Dude I totally agree!! I dont understand, I mean when fisherman are out to catch fish. We should be happy with everything we catch, burbot are incredible and i hope people learn to appreciate that

[@ARCSTREAMS]

seems to be an overlap in audio and video ,i would suggest also adding sugar to your brine it enhances to a whole new level, also maybe try skewering the chunks on the grill next time like swordfish if they will hold and not fall apart,mix in some herbs,spices and garlic and oil etc then skewer them like shish kabob

[@ARCSTREAMS]

never had burbot looks good, but my catfish def taste like fried chicken too hehe ,did you use salted butter? maybe a lil lemon would be good with the butter and some herbs but id think they should be salty enough from the brine why did you add more salt to the pieces?

[@LTOutdoors15]

Burbot is definitely a special fish. I've never eaten a fish that comes close to taste or texture 😊

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@LTOutdoors15 interesting

[@matthewhursh4266]

Blue bonnet isn’t butter thou need the real stuff

[@LTOutdoors15]

I know 😔 it's all I had at the time haha. I'll fix that this season🤛

[@greglanders6048]

Great tips, but I've never caught or even tried burbot. They kinda look like a snakehead or them snakefishes

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's part of why I wanted to do a video on them. They're often mixed up with snakeheads which are a non native problem species. Burbot are native to our great lakes and definitely arent an issue. They catch them in Minnesota too. They're also known as ling ling, ling, and eelpout

[@greglanders6048]

@@LTOutdoors15 Cool, good to know, yeah I know them snakeheads aren't good, most people catch them and throw them on shore to die or get eaten by something.

[@LTOutdoors15]

@@greglanders6048 exactly! It's sad to see it done to burbot. They're an incredible species
