HOW TO GRILL FISH PERFECTLY | Michelin-star chef Michael Cimarusti

[@nahtanoj92]

I liked when he said grilling is not about the pretty grill marks but to impart flavor, and he's absolutely right about that, thank you!

[@Will-ef2tw]

The smokey flavor is a great addition to the seasoning

[@nikolai3620]

John C. Reilley's flawless transition from acting to cooking shows just how versatile he is.

I think I just learned about 8 new things, that is something every 30 seconds! Thank you Chef Cimarusti!

[@Geoduck.]

I live in the PNW and have sport fished Quillback and Salmon for 40 years. That is how you cook fish! Love the tips. I just learned a lot from you Chef Cimarusti, much appreciated. Cake tester that's gold!

[@positivelygroundfish]

We agree, chef Cimarusti is a gold mine of amazing expert tips!

[@mikeperth8027]

I cook fish all the time here in Western Australia, as did my Father and Grand Father on charcoal. Lessons were passed down to me. This proves you NEVER stop learning.

[@iamikejones]

I do mayo on the outside of grilled cheese Sandwiches, only more or a scream than a whisper and it’s a game changer. Thanks for the tips.

[@positivelygroundfish]

Haha sounds amazing to us.

[@BigPoppieSeed]

A clean hot grill and not prematurely trying to flip the fish is what keeps fish from sticking to a char-grill ....not mayonnaise!... give me a break

[@batchagaloopytv5816]

@@BigPoppieSeed you realize mayo is 90% oil.Check for at least 1 ridge on your brain 🤭could it could explain some stuff.

I frequently scream at sandwiches also

[@BrianBaastrup]

[@simmjz5738]

love no nonsense explanation. these kind of tips very useful

[@SuperKendoman]

We use a chopstick or skewer to check our fish in chinese cooking too. My parents were from Hong Kong and we would always test if the flesh was done by poking the thickest part fo the fish to see if it passes through. Poaching or steaming fresh fish are my favourite ways to cook fish because of how tender and juicy it ends up

[@RebornGarments]

Just cooked some lingcod like this for the first time and it turned out so delicious. The flesh was tender and it had such a good flavour. It truly allowed for the flavour of the fish to be first and foremost. Thanks for all the tips chef 🙌🏼

[@mtadams2009]

Thanks for the tip on using mayonnaise . I eat a lot of seafood and anything to improve my dinner experience is helpful. Again thanks

[@rayray4192]

Cover any fish work lots of Mayo and lemon and bake it

[@positivelygroundfish]

[@wayneeichler]

I tried this with Salmon on the grill. It was a fantastic meal. Thank you for all the tips.

[@alfblack2]

thank you chef. Yeh i have been failing cooking fish. I will try what I have learned here.

[@ucdbnxt7318]

Providence is AWESOME and this guy is TOTALLY recognizable...

[@ReyHolliday]

Nice of the chef to give us real, useful techniques instead of common fluff.

[@kh40yr]

Same here. PNW guy. The Nice thing about Best Foods Real Mayonnaise is that you can fill A WHOLE salmon gut cavity with that mayon, along with some Walla Walla Sweet onion rings and other bits, , wrap in foil and put it on the open fire or grill. Once it is done, you will never have a better bite of salmon. Also can oven bake Mahi-Mahi with a Mayon layer facing up, till golden. Never better Mahi Mahi. Remember folks, Sockeye salmon cooks in moments. Once the fish oil rises to the top of the fillet, ,it's done. The others a bit longer,,with maybe the exception of Pink Salmon. Love me some rockfish tho'., Gonna give that a try.

[@otroflores91]

What are your usually other bits?

[@megagatvol]

I’m really interested in the grill/barbecue that you’re using? Watching from the U.K.

[@RataStuey]

Brilliant little video

[@BGRUBBIN]

Cake tester works like a charm! Perfect halibut every time!

[@joefish6546]

I saw somewhere a video of someone firing up a gas stove and watching the moisture fly up the side of a pan as the gas ignited. Apparently, this is not moisture from the air or even from the sides of the pan, it's actually water in the gas. This moisture will limit how good a sear you can get on any food your are trying to cook. The next 'wettest' option for grilling is wood, which also releases moisture. Charcoal is a very dry heat so produces the best sear. Not sure if this is true, but it seems right.

[@chrisartist5155]

Fantastic.

[@skipdog9912]

Great video, super informative! Thanks!

[@pete5534]

That’s looks fantastic. Thank you!

[@jasonsands8943]

Yes! Great tutorial!

[@doveven3537]

when you say opening up the scales, is this fish been descaled or not? looks descaled from the video? thanks

[@positivelygroundfish]

Yes, that's correct. He had descaled the fish before cutting the fillet. He was basically moving the skin folds (of the scales) open and closed in order to scrape some of the water out and get the skin ready for the grill.

[@lovinlife6993]

Awesome! Thanks for the knowledge. Will be very helpful and useful!

[@positivelygroundfish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bruceboman9801]

Where can I get that charcoal grill setup? Sweet.

[@aethom10]

[@Skywalker21O]

Yo is that popped Sorghum on the plate?? I’ve thought about that before.. (Fish looks nice too)

[@stevee.7419]

Ah! A fish grilling perfectionist! Nice work.

[@c.j.k.98]

Nice video and perfect cook on the fish, but why using mayonaise instead of a brush of (neutral) oil?

[@soulsurfseeker]

yes

[@BlindSwami_]

We use neutral oil to sear and egg washes for browning on pastry. Mayo is the best of both worlds

[@jasonjoseph2451]

Are those ChefsPress brand cooking weights? Looks exactly like the ones I use (and you can stack the same way) on my steaks 😂

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Fantastic!

[@juanghee]

Are those charcoal grills available at Amazon

[@Jay-wz4sb]

QUESTION: 0:13 -- So, the fish is not scaled. Apparently, you leave the skin when eating???? Thank you.

[@positivelygroundfish]

He scaled the fish before he filleted it. What he's referring to at 0:13 are the skin folds or pores where the scales normally sit - he just moves those back and forth a bit to scrape the water out and open them up.

[@Jay-wz4sb]

@@positivelygroundfish I see. Thank you so much for replying.
