Plokkfiskur - Icelandic Fish Stew - ICELAND FOOD CENTRE #03

[@hanzmanfilms]

This was the first Icelandic dish I had when I was in Vík. Absolutely amazing

[@juditcserny9612]

I wouldn’t pour the fish poaching liquid down the drain, you can freeze it and use it for stock or sauces :-)

[@davidsimeon2730]

You must be a fantastic cook. Hello Judit, how are you doing today and how are you coping with the Pandemic ?

[@olinoi]

No you can't because he put so much salt in the water.

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

That’s a great point! But i think as for a stock; the lack of bones and herbs I wonder if it won’t be too weak(and salty). Perhaps, reducing the salt might provide a good base. Adding leeks/herbs afterwards may be clever!

[@ragnakleinen2109]

​@@IcelandFoodCentreif you have leftover skin and bones from the fish, throw them in with herbs, spices and maybe vegetables. Let it simmer and then strain it and that makes a great fish broth.

[@wtglb]

That looks absolutely wonderful!! I had Plokkfiskur at Cafe Loki, they melted cheese over it, it was so damn good!! I really miss the wonderful rugbraud and that heavenly smjor!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

You asked for it ;) - gratinated plokkfiskur is very popular and a good to introduce it to kids. Another popular way is to put bearnaise sauce underneath the cheese!

[@wtglb]

I did! Thank you so much!

[@quncle]

Came back from Iceland to my home of Seattle recently. This dish I believe needs to gain more international adoption. It was fucking awesome, no matter the shop that served it, it tasted amazing. I understand Iceland at least the capital is more touristy and international with more focus on Japanese and Mexican cuisine, but this traditional dish was by far my favorite during my trip.

[@melaniesmith9947]

I just made this amazing dish, it brought so many memories from Iceland where I would just eat plokkfiskur and skyr. Thank you so much!

[@karinleuthy5761]

Really good! We had celery root and rutabaga in the house, and used that in place of the potatoes and it was a nice twist. It helps that here in Maine we also have super fresh haddock. Fish chowdah is a beloved cousin of plokkfiskur.

[@aaronsakulich4889]

I live in Massachusetts in the US, and I have to say... for an area with a big fishing industry and very harsh winters, I am surprised that we don't have anything similar to Plokkfiskur! I am making it tonight... first one of the season!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Oh boy! How did it turn out?

[@aaronsakulich4889]

@@IcelandFoodCentre it was great! Just right for cold weather!

[@pincheprepper7375]

I made this and the Rugbraud this week. Very good!!! Wish I could post the picture. 💕

[@britneyevans271]

I made this at my home in Arizona, USA, and it was phenomenal! I loved it and it’s quickly become a household favorite

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

It's such an amazing and versatile dish - it's also perfect for the winter months. Stay tuned as we'll soon make an even more delicious version of this dish!

[@andywilson5509]

I absolutely love this dish! I’ve been making it about once every two weeks during the winter.

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

If you really really love it you should aim for once a week. "once a week and you won't be weak" is an old Icelandic proverb I just made up.

[@danielclooney6248]

Oh yum, I had this at a small restaurant walking back from church. I didn't want the meal to end......it was the mostly heavenly flavor. Thanks for showing how it's made.

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Hæ, Daníel. If you're talking about Reykjavik, you probably went to Cafe Loki. Now that you got the recipe your meal will never end!

[@unknownperson4871]

I just made this food for my son is yummy 😋 thank you so much for sharing 😘

[@Mikkogram]

I LL try that soon. Get back those memories of being in Iceland. I truly miss this country

[@sashacampbell8206]

I did it the other day, and it was awesome! After tasting it in Iceland I promised myself to learn how to do it so I can cook it whenever I want. It is my personal tradition to learn a recipe from a country I visited so when I show my family the pictures I took on my trip they can also have a little taste of it! But I had no potato smasher in my kitchen. Let's just say that my mojito pestle did a surprisingly good job! Keep on the great work, seeing you pop up into my feed is a treat 👌

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

That's great, Sasha. Such a good idea to learn a recipe from each country you visit. Thanks for the comment.

[@Icelandlove76]

One of my favorite Icelandic dishes. It’s a comfort food for me

[@AzNeo]

Thanks for a great take on this dish. I just got back from Iceland a few days ago and fell in love with Plokkfiskur and the skyr while I was there :)

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Thanks, AzNeo. Hope you had a great time in Iceland! Now that we know what you loved, was there anything you hated eating?

[@AzNeo]

@@IcelandFoodCentre I was in Akureyri for dinner where I tried this sheep dung smoked trout as a reward for eating Hákarl and brennivín. Would say the trout was pretty bad and the Hákarl a close second.

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

We totally understand you might find hákarl bad but sheep dung smoked trout is absolutely delicious! How dare you! just kidding. Since the two owners of this channel are from around Akureyri and both lived there, we hope you had an extra nice time there.

[@AzNeo]

Oh yeah. Me and my friend used it as a home base to explore the Myvatn area.

[@AzNeo]

@@IcelandFoodCentre Just wanted to follow up and say that I cooked this recently for a gathering of friends and while we added a bit too much milk (came out almost like a chowder) the plokkfiskur was a smashing success and the entire pot (about 6 quarts) was empty within 30 minutes! Thanks again for the recipe!

[@nathanielsmith148]

This was one of my favorite foods I had in Iceland. Thanks for this recipe!

[@LaEurovisionQueen]

I miss these videos.

[@chinese_chef]

Það er réttur sem er ekki til í Japan. Það lítur ljúffengt út. Ég mun prófa það næst!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Fantastic! I really hoped it turned out well - Truly hope to visit japan one day!

[@kk440635NORWAY]

Its a popular dish in Norway too, we call it «Plukkfisk» 😊 . I often make it, very easy, healthy and good 😊

[@arnathorarensen7356]

i grew up eating this, and i loved it

[@sorridusnakerru]

I want more of these videos!!! Stews especially!!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Baby, we got a stew goin'

[@sorridusnakerru]

@@IcelandFoodCentre hell yeah!! To honor you I will make plokkfiskur this weekend🇮🇸🇮🇸

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Go Morphy!

[@sorridusnakerru]

@@IcelandFoodCentre soooo. I made it! It was good. I should've added more salt and pepper. And since I'm from Croatia on mediterian i added olive oil instead of butter. And then added a bit on my plate. I must say it was a pretty good mix of icelandic and mediterian kitchen

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

@@sorridusnakerru ok so we don't have a stew this time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3bZi4mElLSqfqM but we got a soup video in the making which we'll release in the next few days. Btw, plokkfiskur with olive oil is quite close to 'brandade'!

[@rocioleal6546]

I made this for lunch today, I loved it! Greetings from Mexico:)

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Glad you liked it!! It's a truly hearty dish! Greeting back from Iceland! :)

[@ellenmhango6858]

I had this at cafe loki but didnt know how it is prepared. I just tried this recipe using a different fish (panga steaks) this evening. It was a tasty dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@matthewhoney362]

Even better with cheese on top! ROK do a nice one. Cafe Loki still going strong.

[@bentolunchfornon-dieters]

Looks super good! I will give this a try!

[@irongam3r845]

Please don't stop make videos! You have a gret potential as a youtuber 😀😀😀

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

We'll be back. We're just enjoying our long Icelandic summer holiday. It's still summer, right?

[@caixueqin]

Hi! Thanks for this clear instruction video! I'm making a video about trying to make Icelandic food at home and this video helped a lot! Is it OK for me to use 1 second of this video to show where I learned how to make plokkfiskur? I will put a clear link to this whole video. Thank you!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Go for it!

[@brossmart]

Looks delicious !!! 😍

[@somethingsinful]

I definitely want to try making this and the rye bread this winter. Are you going to do a lamb soup video? I really enjoy your channel.

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

We don't know that dish!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Just kidding. It's halloween. Of course we'll be making the soup, it's perfect during winter.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Your PLOKKFISKUR is fish porridge... 😟 Use big chunks of cod in a bechamel sauce. Serve with steamed potatos and carrots. "KLEMMING" ; Spread butter and sliced steamed potato on a slice of flatbread. Then some fish and sauce, salt and pepper. Top with flatbread. 😋👍 Love from Norway 🇳🇴

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Sounds good.

[@unordner]

We literally just made this while being in Iceland.

[@Budismo7917]

Takk fyrir!!!

That's just mashed potatoes with more steps lol. Genius tho, I want to make this.

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Yes.

[@PeterLizurej]

Why you don't make more videos?

[@maggiepellegrino9324]

Can this dish be made a day early, refrigerated, and reheated the next day? I'd like to make it a day in advance. Takk!

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

For sure! In fact, like Kjotsupa it's even better the following day! :)

[@riteshvs4949]

Which fish ur using

[@Degenerate_Dad]

Do you ever have leftovers? Does it reheat well?

[@TheMilkMan8008]

Depends on how much you make or how many people are eating it, I suppose. Always reheats fine for me. Just pop it in the microwave like you would with mash potato leftovers

[@fabiocazzoletti456]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇸🇮🇸

[@Bosnia123]

Can I substitute milk with water or anything?

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

Water is too thin - We’d reccommend Oat milk if possible! :-)

[@smokeydes8501]

What type of cheese would be added to this ?

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

You could certainly add some gouda/maribou cheese blend into it. Will give a great cheese pull! I would steer clear of blue cheeses for this one!

[@gielvanhuisseling]

I cooked this today for my family but my dad doesn't like onions so I left them out. What type of vegetable could I use as an alternative?

[@IcelandFoodCentre]

There aren't really any substitutes to onions and they aren't a dominant flavour so just skip them!
