Yo broil the Cod for 4 to 5 minutes at ( what damn temperature??? ) come on man what temperature...??????

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

:scratches head: umm , at the BROIL temperature? LOL

[@quadpit]

Broil doesn't have a temperature it's just the overhead burner at full power for a sear.

[@fxfxwc]

@@quadpit distance from the burner 🔥 be the question

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Your mileage may vary :)

[@theronroberts5573]

I Believe he said it was preheated. That means turn it on and let it get hot like a woman.

[@tommybell]

To do this correctly add 1 cup sugar and two thick slices of lemon to the water and simply boil the fish cut into inch cube slices until they rise to the top. You could then season and broil if you wanted but no need if done this way

[@curlysshuffle1157]

Tommy Bell that's an interesting combination and idea never thought of that my life I love to cook thanks for sharing it sounds very interesting and also make sense something new learn today appreciate you brother thumbs up...👍

[@royvincent9250]

@@curlysshuffle1157 the sugar adds the sweetness of lobster and the acid helps firm the fish

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Thanks the comment and info!

[@michaelleblanc5396]

When do I add the cinnamon toast?

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

The next morning when you have breakfast!

[@bhumphries1360]

Looks really yummy!! I think I will be making this on Friday!

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Nom Nom Nom! Hope you enjoy!

[@metaspherz]

The REAL poor man's lobster is its cousin the prawn. Saute large prawns in lobster bisque then broil them for a few minutes slathered in butter and then the lemon treatment and you'll laugh at everybody eating cod like it was lobster. Prawns have a similar texture and the oh-so-sweet goodness of lobster too! BTW, cod and large shrimp cost relatively the same per pound. Which will impress your friends more, cod poached in buttery sugar water or prawns sauteed in lobster bisque and broiled slathered in melted butter? My guess is the latter!

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Mmm, already made my mouth water. Thanks for providing an alternative!

[@cyric28]

naw, crawdads not prawns. Prawns are expensive shrimps.

[@TheMrChaddles]

Bro your videos are so awesome, is the creole seasoning the same as”Old Bay”?

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Definitely not the same thing! Creole seasoning is slightly spicy - not like Cayenne spicy but still on the spectrum of spicy. Regular Old Bay is nowhere near spicy.

[@kandicemarye8822]

Looks darn good to me!!

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

ANNNND - tastes good! :)

[@1006kathleen]

I agree with the butter lol 👍

Thats right! 4 to 5 minutes, not to be confused with 45 minutes - LOL

[@mangot589]

I’ve heard monkfish is similar to lobster🤷‍♀️. Thanks for the recipe!

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

I can guarantee you one thing, monkfish won't be winning any beauty awards anytime soon!

[@denisejones881]

Monkfish is the ABSOLUTELY CLOSEST TASTING TO LOBSTER.EVER

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

@@denisejones881 How does one taste this? Aren't these creatures of the deep?

[@denisejones881]

COOK - Don't Be Lazy monkfish can be easily found in an Italian fishery. They are one of the UGLIEST fishes ever. But absolutely delicious. They are creatures of the deep. Like King crab. You'll love it

@@denisejones881 Cheap too, then again i'm near the ocean. I don't see it frozen anywhere. With cod or any other fish I sugar the water and add lemon juice to tighten the fish up. It'll never have the actual consistency of lobster but it sure does taste like it. Just like skate plugs taste AND feel like scallops, i'd like to try skate for a lobster substitute but I can't find whole skate.

[@royvincent9250]

acid like vinigar or lemon while boiling would help firm the fish to stop it from flaking as bad

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Thanks for the advice. I might have to redo the video incorporating some of the advice given. But in general, it’s a good tasting recipe as is! Thanks for stopping by!

[@TheMrChaddles]

@@COOKDontBeLazy please do! I love watching videos where people have gone back and tried something slightly different to see if they could get a better outcome.

[@TheMrChaddles]

Does it have to be fresh lemon? Would something like a bottle of lemon juice work

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

@@TheMrChaddles Would it work? Yes BUT - bottled lemon juice is not straight lemon juice. Primarily concentrated (which means water is added) and preservatives. A lemon is cheaper than the bottled juice but if thats what you got in stock, go for it!

[@bradsheppard3662]

this is the 1st video thats says put it in frozen. nice looking tho, will try it out

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Cod doesn't take long to cook so putting it in frozen helps with slowing down the process of over cooking, considering it's still got to go in the oven. Let me know how it turns out!

[@bostonjackson9384]

Yes, that's because this guy doesn't know what he is doing. Always thaw your fish first.... also, bring the water to a rolling hard boil before dropping the fish in. You want that fish to cook fast and furious, that's what firms it up so that it doesn't flake like this guys. You also want to add some acid to that pot of boiling water... like some vinegar or lemon juice. An acid will give the fish a little rubbery texture that more closely resembled lobster or crab.

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Let me see your video to see how it's done, sir. Thank you...

[@jaypassarella1392]

A watched microwave never melts.

[@Adeline9418]

Bet I could do this in my toaster oven.

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

I'm sure it's possible. A toaster oven is just a miniature oven :)

[@TheMrChaddles]

I do all kinds of stuff with my toaster oven, but I will say this, when I cook a mini pizza in it, it will not melt the cheese like my actual oven will. Possibly bc it’s a convection oven, 🤷🏼‍♂️, but at full blast (450°) no matter how long I leave it, the cheese is not actually melted. *but that’s a cheap little frozen pizza. Im not putting anything fancy in it lol

[@dayveonwhite3738]

looks fire though

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Tastes like fire too!

[@ritavago7238]

I cringed when you melted the butter in the plastic container.😮

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Yes. I know. A big no no! I’m learning!! :)

[@mcdowell1953]

Try a slotted spoon

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

I finally got one!

[@michemckenna9030]

Broil is 500 degrees Keith

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Do all ovens not come with a BROIL temperature setting? Now I’m wondering...

[@jomesias]

But does it taste like lobster?

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

It ends up having a "very similar" texture and taste to lobster :)

[@jomesias]

@@COOKDontBeLazy oohh sounds great, Will cook It AND try It out 👍👍 THX

[@michaelwoehl8822]

What happened to monk fish?

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

Nothing. Poor Mans Lobster can be made with Halibut, Monk or Cod. I chose Cod :-)

[@JOSEGUTIERREZ-cw1jm]

Bro thanks fir upload but Sazon has just about seasoning and herbs around …it has awesome smell and taste…unclear why you cannot smell Dude it is best seasoning without salt

[@COOKDontBeLazy]

I've always just used Sazon for coloring. I've never noticed a taste nor smell to it. Maybe its because when I use it, I use alongside other seasonings that overpower it. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out the other videos I have. Many more have been made since I put this video out!

[@dayveonwhite3738]

real butter in the radioactive machine.. yeah

[@michaelleblanc5396]

Is the fake lobster still kept next to BJ in the can?

Yes, yes it is

You did this sooo wrong. 😂

[@rymezone6426]

You can't change the texture of the fish with just water this dude doesn't have a clue, don't waste your time on this video
