How To Cook A Burbot (Poor Man's Lobster Roll)

Just like any fish, there are a million different ways that you can cook it, but for some reason there just isn't a lot of diversity in the world of cooking burbot, also commonly known as Mariah, Eel Pout, and Freshwater Cod.
I love the texture of the meat and the great fish flavours and aromas the meat has to offer.
As many often refer to the meat as "Poor Man's Lobster" I wanted to recreate a common favourite lobster snack, the Lobster Roll.
This is one of the easiest things you'll prepare either in the wilderness, the ice shack or in the kitchen. With a few simple ingredients and an overall prep and cook time of just a few minutes, this is a real winner.

I could see this taking off as the ultimate catch and cook channel. Job well done.

I’m heading up to Lake of the Woods in early January and I might just have to bring the fixings for makes this just in case we catch a burbot. It’s looks amazing.

That thumbnail looks fire.

[@alexanderkavanaugh881]

Funny how its called poor man's lobster, considering that lobster was the poor man's food in the years of the cod fishery and now its considered a delicacy!

[@joshmcfads5916]

Agreed. Now is Burbots time in the spotlight!

[@MitchHeil]

I typically don't care about catch and cooks but this is an amazing video. I also had burbot boiled in pop and it was horrible. I definitely want to try this recipe out though!

[@joshmcfads5916]

Hah thanks mate. Really appreciate it. You need to give it a try.

[@darrensnorthernlife1184]

[@TKPencilZ]

Josh! You gotta make more of these man, it is UNREAL how you make such beautiful food out in the wild. It pushes me to cook better food at home lol

[@benjaminjacobson1826]

Totally drooling 🤤

You've clearly never been to Walker, Minnesota towards the end of February. Eelpout festival has grown exponentially there. Unfortunately it got to be too big to handle and I believe they hung it up last year.

[@joshmcfads5916]

Was definitely aiming to get down to it one year but I heard it was overrun with Neanderthals

[@aaronsingson4876]

cinematography and editing on point

[@hanzifaction]

[@flaasome]
