You are supposed to remove all packaging to tgaw

[@ChefDawg]

Great catch! You're right

[@bobdublin825]

Crap! I didn’t

[@Dylans503]

​@@ChefDawg "you're"

[@celltek1127]

Nailed it. This guy isn't a chef period.

[@ChefDawg]

I cook... therforeI'm a chef!! I even get paid, which means I'm officially a chef. Hence the name chef dawg!! 😆 🤣 😂

[@carmemm8991]

I just opened the same bag and I was looking for a recipe. What a coincidence! Thank you so much for your help!

[@ChefDawg]

You are so welcome!

[@BeBased92]

Same 😂😂😂

[@BenjiTheFrenchbulldog]

😂 same here

[@peri3818]

I like when you review the healthier options. I will now look for this.

[@GarreTTTurncoaT]

What are you preheating that oven for?

[@SuperCheeko12]

That looks amazing

[@ChefDawg]

Thx you

[@chrisj6907]

I like your recipe. Pretty simple. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@zzim60]

I just cooked me up some rice (in my tiger rice cooker (from costco) came out perfect! Pan fried a fillet of Kirkland Mahi-Mahi in the same fashion as you did except I used avocado oil and butter. It was excellent!!! Thank you!

[@ChefDawg]

Good stuff!

[@STV-H4H]

What are the ingredients in those blends you used? Can’t jet off to Hawaii today to get some, so I have to DIY. I’m fixing to prepare some of this very thing tonight, and I haven’t ever done it before. Yellowfin has been my latest favorite with salmon being the general fave fish. Basic S and P are a given, but when I last attempted Chilean Sea Bass I wasn’t pleased at all, I winged it and guessed on possibly the worst options.

[@ChefDawg]

The island volcano seasoning is talian seasoning, sea salt, Chilli pepper, garlic, onion, pepper, spices, paprika and vinegar... the other Dakine Hawaii rub is cane sugar, lemon pepper, salt, garlic, sea salt, coffee and parsley. Thx for watching

[@bigphilnyc]

So glad you addressed the metal fork on non-stick...I was about to yell until you acknowledged it haha. Watching your process was great! We are cooking the same Costco fish for dinner! Thank you!

[@ChefDawg]

Haha hope to hear if you liked it!

[@bigphilnyc]

@@ChefDawg it was great! Big hit with the wife! Initial idea was to bake it with some seasoning. I don’t have your fancy stuff, but I put together a little bowl with salt, black pepper, paprika, minced garlic, garlic powder, and oregano. You gave me the idea to do it in a pan with oil and butter. I overlooked it slightly…your heat level and times were right on…I should have listened more closely. This came out great. As long as they are thawed this is SUCH a quick protein for dinner. Tasty and healthy, what’s not to love? Thanks again!

[@ChefDawg]

Love to hear it worked out... thx for watching

[@user-uo4fc7lv6n]

Jarlic told me everything i needed to know about this “chef”

[@ChefDawg]

You got me 🙄

[@truckerzwyf]

I just assumed it was a pun. Jar+garlic = Jarlic.

[@ChefDawg]

Lol.... love it

[@bodie9676]

I enjoyed vid. These comments are great. You’re catching a lot of heat(just like your garlic) from these folks. I’ll be using your guidelines for cooking mahi today.

[@ChefDawg]

Thanks 👍

[@evielknievel4972]

Great recipe . Good to the point video! Short and to the point. I buy this same product and now I can try this recipe.

[@annamorgan5909]

So, I'm always torn about cooking with garlic like you did. I feel like it's always burned by the time I'm finished cooking. How do you avoid burning it in med-high? Thanks! 😊

[@ChefDawg]

It is hard to do. I don't mind in a little bit burnt though so I'm different but I turn it down and flip the meat a bunch and if it gets to the point I think it will be burnt I take it and finish it in the air fryer

[@torchgal6309]

I add garlic cloves cut in half, and in the middle of frying, like when I flip a fish. It still imparts that delicious garlic smell, and half pieces don't burn as fast

[@lisag.4054]

@@torchgal6309 this is smart, thanks!

[@STV-H4H]

Adding in the garlic later, or precooking it at low temp to flavor the fat, strain off, so you don’t get the burnt bitterness.

[@SummaGirl1347]

If you add the garlic and oil to the pan while it's cold, and heat it up gradually (not on nuclear like in the video), the garlic will not burn. There is no need to use high heat with aluminum pans.

[@DamplyDoo]

You caught mahi mahi in Hawaii? Which island did you go to? Was the fish catching part of a tour? We went to Oahu and had a great time

[@ChefDawg]

We were on kawaii and booked a deep-sea fishing trip with some locals, It was awesome there. We would go again in a heartbeat.

[@killerKYLE36]

The fish in the clip was an amberjack not a mahi

[@nightowl4206]

Wonder what is in these Hawaiian spices. And what to put on fish if I don't have them?

[@ChefDawg]

If you check out our description we have the spices used, where you can find the ingredients

[@acuevas80]

@@ChefDawgI couldn’t find them on the description, it only have a link for the cameras used.

[@ChefDawg]

@@acuevas80 Sorry about that... Just Updated it!

[@grantjones3789]

What you caught in Hawaii if it’s the video was a yellowfin tuna I believe. Mahi are common out there too but either way both fish are delicious 😂🔥

[@ChefDawg]

😂 yeah either way it was delicious

[@VinegarWithAnAttitude]

Brah your videos are the best. Subscribed! Anyways, aloha from Oahu

[@ChefDawg]

Appreciate it!

[@HHern]

Good video

[@ChefDawg]

Thanks for the visit

[@BigMoonShot]

im seeing alot of people using lemon. im not a fish lover unless its fried with tarter and hotsauce mostly. i bought this on impulse i hope i like it?

[@ChefDawg]

I'm with you

[@vrod1a]

Burnt garlic, Burnt seasoning and a burnt pan, Me likie a lot 😂

Makes me feel good. I know I’m not going to cook it perfectly.

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

Subbed!

[@emzyking5847]

“Chef” Dawg….well bless your heart as we say in Texas.

[@ChefDawg]

I'll take that as a compliment, especially from a Texan

[@TIGERMARK-jl1md]

Bought the Mahi Mahi from Costco and delicious. Just asking though.. Why does a chef use processed garlic? Why not chopped fresh garlic? I have heard many negative things about how minced garlic is processed to the point that it is so gross that I refuse to buy it any longer. A chef should always use fresh! Unless Costco is paying for this review and that makes sense.

[@hypsin]

I can taste burnt garlic all the way from here...

[@ChefDawg]

Lol... you might be right

[@musicluver1979]

No way it's gonna be as good as your fresh line caught Hawaiian fish.

[@ChefDawg]

True but darn close for store bought

[@Puaspapa]

Aloha from Hawaii!!! Chef is on point with Costco mahi mahi…. Pretty darn close Costco is all about quality If I’m lazy and don’t want to go to our local market to get fresh mahi…. Brah, Costco da one!

[@musicluver1979]

nice char on the flip

[@HowardKirkpatrick]

Lost me with the fake lemon

[@ChefDawg]

Oh don't be so hard on me...I'm just a dude having fun with my kid cooking Costco food!

[@HowardKirkpatrick]

@@ChefDawg The seasoning looks good--going to try it tonight with Mahi.

[@jolietia]

That looks deelish

[@ChefDawg]

I'm liking it more and more

[@francishung9405]

You burned the garlic - should have used whole crushed garlic, extracted the flavor , removed the browned garlic, cooked the fish until flaky - the middle was still raw. This is not acceptable since the fish was frozen.

[@religionisapoison2413]

Fish from frozen is safe to eat raw if following storage guidelines by FDA. If it's frozen at the store, it follows those guidelines. I agree about the minced garlic in a jar though lmao. But yeah dude, it's fine to hardly cook or even eat raw frozen food especially if it's farmed.

[@3nigma.3nc]

​@@religionisapoison2413 No

[@religionisapoison2413]

@@3nigma.3nc look up FDA guidelines for sushi and commercial freezer temps. It's well within guidelines.

[@BigMoonShot]

Was greatly concerned how this would taste and turn out. Ppl say it’s a tough tasting fish. It don’t taste any different than fish fillet to me. Although I used this recipe I think I’ll fry it next time.

[@patoi8599]

Is it safe to eat the mahi mahi raw?

[@ChefDawg]

I'm not an expert, we have cooked 1min on each side and have had friends do 30 seconds on each side and have been fine

[@0handicap0]

Me likee, haha.. 👌

[@Mr05Chuck]

I have found this product to be tough.

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

No way you're a chef. Would not hire you as a line cook at Denny's.

[@ChefDawg]

Oh, you don't like burnt mahi mahi?

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

@@ChefDawg You burned all the herbs, not the fish, and the fish was raw in the middle. Half raw fish with burned herbs. Mmmmm.....yummy.

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

@@ChefDawg How can you be a "chef" and not know all the seasoning is going to burn? And it does not appear you have even cooked fish before. Also the fish you caught in Hawaii was a Yellowfin, not Dorado.

[@christinepaul3754]

Is everyone buying this Mahi Mahi at Costco in the States. We used to buy this all the time, we are in Canada & now our Costco sells a different brand of Mahi Mahi & it is not the same at all. If Costco in the States still carries the Kirkland brand of it, I'll pick it up next time I'm over. Hopefully, someone can let me know.

[@obecerra123]

We bought the Costco and it had a fishy taste and smell

[@ChefDawg]

Should be very mild

[@jaluntaylor4596]

Marinate it

[@bellofthedesert1595]

Jared minced garlic sucks - no matter the brand. Fresh is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better.

[@STV-H4H]

Using jarred garlic is something I’m guilty of when I’m not feeling leisurely, it’s a bit off tasting, but a great shortcut.

[@bellofthedesert1595]

@@STV-H4H Why would you ever eat substandard "off tasting" garlic? Dude...seriously...fresh garlic is so easy.

[@j.s.friedman9649]

Not cooking it can you get you worms

[@ChefDawg]

I hope not or we are in trouble...I eat sushi all the time with tuna

[@STV-H4H]

Not if you’re using a quality product. Tuna is essentially immune to worms and if the freezing was done properly it destroys the parasites as far as their ability to infect the eaters.

[@tinyclub8542]

Raw after frozen is fine. That's why fish for sushi is always frozen first.

[@beatrizviacava-goulet3450]

😮

[@marierhodes4735]

You’re a “chef” and you’re using jarred garlic? 🤔

So garlic in the jar isn't garlic? Come on, man! 😂
