Minorca - Fried skate: an exotic meal | What's cookin'

[@saxson61]

I love this series of informative videos. I have watched all of this series two or three times, occasionally five or six times with my favorites. They are like old friends to me now. May we please have more in this format and this venue? They are all so very well done. Thank you whoever put them up. Very well done indeed!

[@vanjosh7763]

I appreciate all the videos this channel provides. I've learned so much about the European Culture that I had never known before. I only wish that you add English Subtitles on the other videos so that other viewers, as I would have the chance to understand more.

[@noelsamson876]

I came for the food I stayed for the sound of Minorcan Catalan being spoken both beautiful!!!

[@RagaLosa]

@@dreadpirategibi The official language of the Balearic - Menorca included - is Catalan. Hence it is correct to say that these people are speaking Minorcan Catalan. To pretend otherwise is biased (Spanish) politics.

[@RagaLosa]

@@dreadpirategibi I don't know what is the ley Celaa and I'm not interested in Spanish, Catalan or Ballearic politics. But I have some knowledge of linguistics and the history of European languages. The Ballearic dialects are so closely related to Catalan as for example the Andalusian dialects are to Castilian. They are the result of the Christian conquest of these territories in the Middle Ages. The settlers who established themselves in Minorca came directly from the Emporda district and the villages of what today is called Costa Brava, in the Northeast of Catalonia. Six centuries later, there are not many differences between the Menorqui dialect and the Catalan spoken by the older generation of locals in villages like Cadaques. See in You Tube the video "L'article salat al catala de Catalunya" and hear an older lady from Tossa de Mar (Costa Brava) - and tell us the difference between Menorqui and the language of that lady.

This used to be a staple in UK fish and chip shops don't see many ordering it these days. Wonderful tasting fish.

[@Aienyana]

This is really an awesome channel ☺ I always wanted to see European countries and I feel like I'm literally there.

[@getin3949]

One thing that stands out to me the most is no one no matter where they live seem to have a decent knife for cutting vegetables. I see many paring knives and other smaller ones but not a nice chef's knife.

[@rowenalagasca763]

Wow, I envied their life so much..Wow.

[@starshivastar]

Here in Philippines, caldereta is limited to just pork, beef, or chicken. Honestly, I have never thought of cooking seafood in caldereta, but maybe I will try in the future.

[@starpaderespaderesstar9572]

I think its more savory especially when its shrimp..

[@Blagger3000]

Skate cleaned and fried in a shallow pan with chips, salt pepper and malt vinegar. A meal fit for a king.

Minorcan sounds so much like Portuguese, in punctuation, musicality and tonality.

[@gregjohnson720]

Gustavo De Mira It is true there are many similarities to Portuguese, French and Italian. Good morning in Catalã is bom dia, good afternoon is bona tarda. The numbers 0-9 are very close to the French Languedoc language.

[@schopen-hauer]

i never heard this kind of spanish accent, must be from islands.

[@patrickdemarcevol]

Llagosta in Catalan or langosta in Spanish is not at all a langoustine as you keep calling it (in English a spiny lobster). A langoustine is much smaller, pinkish with two big claws

[@mitzinicoleritter211]

♥️♥️♥️

[@gregjohnson720]

The only thing that I do not understand is that they are calling lobsters langoustines. Langoustines are what is known as prawns in the North Sea. The lobsters they show are warm water lobsters (no pinchers) and are found around the world in warmer waters.

[@jturon9184]

In Spanish and Catalan langosta is lobster and langostino is large prawn. The Menorcan dish is called Caldereta de langosta.

[@MrGotropic]

Mono-filament tangle nets are the most indiscriminate method of fishing.

[@monaweiler7830]

MIL has nice hair

[@حيدر-ث2ش7ص]

😍😍😘😘

[@gregjohnson720]

Perhaps in Minorca they call warm water lobsters langoustines but in all of the other countries that I know langoustines are the small skinny prawns with a shell similar to these but they are called prawns in the North sea and langoustines in Brazil.

[@RagaLosa]

Greg Johnson: They call them “llagostes” in Catalan - “langostas” in Spanish (= spiny lobsters, rock lobsters, or langoustes in English), not “llagostins” / “langostinos”. You are right: “llagostins” / “langostinos” in Catalan / Spanish are prawns in the UK. Langoustines (= scampi) in English are “cigalas” in Spanish.

[@johonybrawo7434]

are they speak portuguese?

[@sergiomunozlopez7856]

catalan, in its menorca's variety

[@juliosalazar6924]

pawel slabon no, they are speaking the minorcan dialect of catalan

[@johnkester5926]

Why don't they use lobster pots they could have a larger harvest?

[@bellosardo84]

it's weird that sounds like a northern Italian dialect. some words are more similar to Italian than Spanish

[@marcmarti5273]

You have an excellent ear. ...and you're absolutely right btw, Catalan (Menorquí in this case) and Italian are a lot more related than some people tends to think.

[@wojak6793]

Marc Marti yea cuz after rome conquered italy, it sailed to Catalunya first and conquered it early in the republic, not conquering spain until much later, leaving Catalan much closer to Latin and therefore Italian

[@janetseidlitz5976]

Those are not Langoustine though. They are Spiny Lobsters.

[@doloresdelosreyes2789]

Janet Seidlitz - yeah! In English language it is called lobster but in Spanish language it is termed as langoustine. . . .

[@CFinch360]

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Spiny Lobster in English, Langoustine in Spanish.

[@RagaLosa]

@@doloresdelosreyes2789 “Langosta” (in English spiny lobster, rock lobster, or langouste), not “langostino”. “Langostinos” are prawns. Langoustines or scampi in English are “cigalas” in Spanish.

"Skate are related to the sheikh family". Really??

[@marcmarti5273]

I think he meant "hake" but I doubt that... if I'm not mistaking they are related to the sharks (that don't have any bones neither) anyway, as a Catalan (not a Menorquí but a kind of a near coast neighbour) I can tell you that the documentary is very nice but vaguely accurate in a lot of senses being one of the the subtitles and translations ;) Good intentions indeed, but plenty of mistakes...

Welcome to spain, spanish women sound like men, smoke like men and look like men, they laugh like horses, are quite unkempt and are very masculine after 30 years, only spanish men can get erection on them, no normal men! And Spanish men have become more feminine. It's all thanks to spanish feminists fighting for equality with men, now they are equal, lmao. But when the daughter in law is lazy to cut the fish and decides it's such a hard work she immediately remembers her husband: I'll ask Louis(because he's a man, therefore stronger), at this moment she has forgotten that she's equal with men, such are stupid ridiculous spanish feminists- hypocrats!!
