General Tso's Scup | Living off the Land and Sea #12

General Tsao’s Whole Fried Fish
Everyone is familiar with General Tso’s chicken, but why doesn’t anyone make General Tsao’s fish?
In the episode, OTW’s Andy Nabreski serves up one of the Northeast’s most underrated fish species, the mighty scup (A.K.A. porgy.)
These little fish are a blast to catch, and they’re also great eating. Andy’s favorite way to prepare is fried whole, and topped with an amazingly-tasty homemade General Tso sauce.
Andy also delves into the fascinating history behind General Tso’s chicken, and how it became the most popular selling Chinese food dish in America.

If I’m going to fish for scup I’m going to use a black fish jig to get the big ones

[@ForestRoute]

How far up the cape can you reliably catch them?

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

They catch scup in Cape Cod Bay, but the best fishing is Buzzards Bay, Vineyard, and Nantucket Sounds. Just about any pier, jetty, or harbor there offers a reliable shot at a keeper scup, and at certain times of year, pretty big ones.

I've caught them way up in main and all the way down in Virginia those fish are everywhere and very abundant in the ocean you get some couple pounder

I hate these fish they always take I g my gulp

What’s the function of the msg? Is it a thickener?

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

It enhances the "umami" savory flavor.

[@snapperboat25]

Love the videos. Hate the music. Sure wish youtube and other consultants and “influencer” types would stop saying people want it. I do not know a single person that wants to hear background music, especially the unlicensed, canned stuff everyone uses. Go ahead pile on now. That being said I have made a bunch of these recipes and they are all good.

You snagged that one fish isn't that illegal

[@deeznuttzs]

🙄

[@snapperboat25]

Only if you intentionally snag a fish that it is unlawful to catch in that manner. Snagging that you refer to is an actual style of fishing.

@@snapperboat25 so snagging bunker is illegal

[@joaquinserrano-armas666]

@@marshallmazzarelli8797 its legal because bunker are bait fish

[@avery3119]

MSG gives some people headaches though. Definitely be careful with that ingredient

Old wive's tale, It's in everything... salad dressings, junk food, tomatoes, Kentucky Fried Chicken, you name it. FDA has tested it thoroughly, zero evidence of negative side effects.
