Catch and Cook Porgy: Caribbean Grilled Fish!

[@imari2305]

Great version of this take on escovich fish. Looks amazing.

[@dantheman4956]

I just realized, the sound of your knife is super soothing.

[@CookingandFishing]

haha you're not the first person to point that out!

[@snakemonkey555]

Great video and recipe! Cannot wait to try this! Pretty cool getting Elias in on the video!

[@CookingandFishing]

Guy's a ninja!

[@snakemonkey555]

Cooking and Fishing Yeah man, he was upstate (lake trout) then fishing with Skinner on a boat and now with you, Ninja is the correct word!

[@dseafishingx3]

I told myself that I could only eat porgies fried hard but you'd showed the light to a healthier path, thanks man!! Also big ups to catching porgies, blackfish , and winter flounder on lures no one else would even think to use!! Way to fish outside the box!!👍💯👌

[@simangelezulu9241]

[@africaster]

Just a teaspoon ... maybe a pinch more ... oh eff it, put it all in 😂😎

[@CookingandFishing]

Lol almost came to grief...another fraction of a teaspoon more and it would've crossed that line!

[@DeeFromBrooklyn]

[@coreycox6876]

Looks delicious

[@CookingandFishing]

Thanks, it turned out pretty nice!

[@secretjourney4815]

The reverb from your knife is incredible! Where were you chopping??? In an auditorium???

[@CookingandFishing]

Lmfao...that kitchen is in the basement, it used to be fully carpeted but Irene (the bitch) flooded it...so now it's tiled. Sounds like we're cooking in the Colosseum haha

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Looks very tasty!

[@CookingandFishing]

thanks!

[@bnewman21]

Wait wtf 😂 you went fishing with Elias or that was a complete coincidence!? Was gonna say small world more like small ocean that’s ridiculous

[@christopherbiegel9553]

All I can say is thank goodness it's lunchtime.

[@CookingandFishing]

lol

[@snakemonkey555]

Can you substitute the scotch bonnet peppers with something less spicy?

[@CookingandFishing]

Definitely, you can omit altogether and use red bell pepper. You can also remove all the seeds and membrane from any hot pepper, which is where the heat is.

[@snakemonkey555]

Cooking and Fishing Thanks! Few members of the family cannot tolerant spicy foods.

[@junofluke]

Looks great. You just need to add some yuca on the plate to make it authentic Caribbean.

[@gobybryant1001]

What is your opinion on that rod? Looking into getting one

[@CookingandFishing]

It's a pretty unique rod, with a couple of oddities. I did an initial review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6CXnJ-kYr5-otk Now that I've used it longer, I'll only add that it's slightly more sensitive than I initially thought, and the handle isn't the most comfortable after dozens of large porgies lol. What are you looking to do with the rod?

[@woodsteeth]

hi - question for you! what length cord do you usually have running out to your stringer? when you change locations / have long pedals, do you pull the stringer up before you get underway? thanks!

[@CookingandFishing]

Cord length, approx 4 ft? Long enough that it's dangling couple ft under the kayak. I don't leave anything on the stringer longer than it takes to bleed out a fish...esp in this heat. Once bled out fish goes in the cooler behind me.

[@woodsteeth]

ahhh, good to know!

[@CookingandFishing]

Actually, I did play around with the length. Too short is no bueno, you want enough cord so that when you're pedaling short distances the fish won't ride up and hit your side pontoons. I'm always paranoid that a half dead porgy will spine through the pontoon in a final act of revenge lol

[@mchan6]

That jolthead porgy bite is good tho.

[@CookingandFishing]

This is the true porgy!

[@smooveb191]

those scoth bonnet peppers are hot

[@CookingandFishing]

Yes they are!

[@moddkilla]

That looks fucking delicious

[@CookingandFishing]

haha thank you!

[@horsepastedelish]

Those are some jumbo porgies, bigger than the ones by Jamaica Bay

[@cword8247]

Were you still experiencing any line slap on the blank with the 2000 lt? What is your opinion that exact set up for fall and winter multi species freshwater fishing (bass, pickerel, trout, crappie, white/ yellow perch? Great narration btw.

[@CookingandFishing]

Unfortunately, yes. Less noticeable, but on slack line retrieves the line will whip around the blank every now and then. I would say that this is a dedicated dropshot rod in freshwater, it will handle all panfish species but it's lure weight is overrated imo and it's happiest staying at 1/4oz or lower. Very fun rod to fish, very far from versatile. You should look into the Daiwa Cronos 7'6M/ML. That...is about as close to a do it all spinning rod in freshwater I've used: goo.gl/svg1FR

[@kpack6654]

You have finesse you need to go on Food Network's Chopped.

[@CookingandFishing]

Lol!

[@spydercliff09]

So now that Mark has a GF he won’t be a reliable camera man or taste tester... let me know I can take over...

[@CookingandFishing]

lol!

[@yaobuckman5006]

LOOKS AWESOME BUT NEEDS A FRUIT TO BE CARIBBEAN

[@CookingandFishing]

lol I think you're right! We had all these great fruit laying around too...next time!

[@tantoine21]

Mango!
