i wish you immense stamina and pace to continue to make videos - you truly are my favorite and watching you cook brings me so much peace

[@Netty465]

I love this guy his enthusiasm for his craft and his knowledge about all the parts is just top notch

[@Jesusdiscipledude]

This seems like a great recipe for someone like me with Irritable bowel disease. As long as your intestines can tolerate it (some people respond differently), fish is a great and easily absorbed source of protein. Bone broths too are great sources of collagen and protein to help heal your gut. I want to try this soon.

[@dapursunny5296]

Thanks Jon. Salmon head soup is one of my favourite meals to make at home. Never thought about pre-frying them. Thanks for the inspiration and the recipe.

[@mpowerewd22]

If anyone was wondering, the ingredient at 0:58 is kikkoman organic soy sauce

[@rh3308]

Thanks. At what stage does the soy sauce go in?

[@mpowerewd22]

@@rh3308 he marinated the salmon in the vacuum bags with the soy sauce

[@GigiStar01]

They sell salmon heads and scraps at the international market near me. I'm going to try this recipe today.

[@ABCantonese]

Dude, the collar...... As someone who doesn't eat the head, I can't complain there, but the collar..... so good.

[@Aaron-ej8yr]

I love salmon bone soup that’s cooked with pickled mustard greens it’s always the perfect amount of rich, sour, and salty.

[@bentaylor2895]

Thanks for the pick-me-up, I just accomplished a goal that I had been working towards for a while and Im feeling a little down. I think I'll try this with pollock when I get the chance

[@YuzeLe]

I like how he's almost dancing at 4:05 and every time he has a sip of the soup - thx for the food adventure now we ALL have to try it!

[@odin9685]

YES! my parents used to make this growing up. fry the salmon head etc throw in tomatoes .. long story short the soup is silkyyyyyy creamyyy

[@Nullsparta2]

Hell yeah thanks for the seafood! Living up to your promise that you would do it more when I asked a few months ago!

[@Crazypixiness]

I LOVE salmon collars and eyeballs. I normally roast them or stew them straight, but I might fry them first. Thanks!

[@marisarabia7572]

Yesss the $6 salmon bones and trim from hmart are so essential for sinigang!

[@iHasAbucket0246]

love the video finally i can try this dish whenever i catch any more salmon and don't have to waste the bones

[@ahheng6402]

Salmon bone soup is in my LCHF menu, since it is cheap. I make it twice a week. I do not strain them, I consume all the scrap meat, fats & chew to juice out the bones & head.... yummy. Either in Tomyam base or oyster sauce base in my Instant Pot. Just found your Channel. Please make more simple whole food cooking. Greetings from Malaysia

[@jpgtr84]

Very nice! I am a big fan of making soup from salmon scraps. I usually go for a Sinigang Sampalok type of soup made with tamarind, but this looks amazing.

[@tybellsprout]

I'm trying to be less wasteful, so thanks for the info! Will give this a go next time I make braised mackeral.

[@CYI3ERPUNK]

just fyi once you've extracted all the flavour that you want from the bones/carcass , instead of throwing all of that away i put it into another pot with just enough water to cover it and simmer it on low heat for another 12+ hrs or until the bones are soft enough to break with your fingers [im usually doing this with chicken carcasses, so less time for fish obvs] , then i will puree it with a stick blender in the pot and portion into containers that i keep in the freezer , usually i thaw these out and use it to supplement my dogs food , but its also a healthy/good filler for thicker stews/beans/curries/etc

[@BenziitOfemme]

The science behind this has me hooked! I can't wait to try it

[@ancellogittaro7229]

Love your vids, you're great and I like your vibe. Probably my fav cookingchannel.

[@mingwon3082]

Enjoyed your video👍. I recommend avoid adding MSG for optimal health 💪 I look forward to watching your other videos😊 Ming

[@ryang7759]

grateful for this one. will try soon :)

[@ryanleung206]

i love how simple your recipes are and how chill u are

[@vister6757]

I have lots of salmon heads, bones and tails. I'm gonna make this soup.

[@mfernando8254]

Cooking this up right now! Thank you ❤

[@jonkung]

Hope you enjoy

[@supermegaawesomeultragal7820]

Noice! 👍🏼 This reminds me of when my mom would put the whole broken down catfish in caldo 🥰 I'd eat the eyeballs and everything, as dared to by my dad 😋 So creamy. So delicious 🤤🥰

[@johnnytsunami420]

Legs! Also that broth looks Hella warming and filling. Tomatoes and salmon are iconic together. Maybe would add some egg noodles to make more filling?

[@TacoNut823]

If I'm not wanting to deep fry the fish bones, would broiling be a good substitute? Looks super good!

[@Painted_Owl]

Reminds me of the “reek fish” soup Yeto makes in Zelda: Twilight Princess

[@supermegaawesomeultragal7820]

OH, MY GOSH!!!! SHE'S SO EXCITED!!! 😍☺️🥰😁🤍❤️🤍 And wonderful how you demonstrated for others, how to take advice/ correction. Too many fools think they're always right and don't know how to graciously learn 🙄 You're a fantastic example of a wonderful person 🤍

[@GlitterKittiee]

Ugh your voice is so magical! I love watching your videos so much ! You're so funny 😁

[@adamhunter1223]

I love mochi 🥰 could we get more happy dog content in the future?

[@sheriffmintz]

Its okay to leave the msg out and it still tastes good

[@andrean733]

I love this. I feel like it would make a good base for a seafoody stew or a seafood curry

[@purplejames4479]

i usually take head and tale in local supermarket, head goes with 1st stake, so there is a lot of meet, it costs me 2 eur (Greece Athens), pretty enough to make rich soup for 2 persons

[@lillydevil2486]

That thumbnail making me think you were going to replicate Yeto's soup from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Now I'm kinda hoping someone does it to see how it'd taste XD

[@David-bb4yv]

Tnanks, we just started making this recently. It is really good.

[@michaelsomer6829]

stumbled on your video. I sell steak and seafood to consumer and have never considered the stages before finished product and what those pieces can be used for. Good content

[@HIBredAsian808]

You did an amazing job, bro!

[@frequency280]

Awe pitbulls are the best. This looks great. My partner is pescatarian so I’m on the lookout for ways to be indulgent and fat is an obvious way so I love these tips and I’m sure he’ll love my next soup 😊

[@mackerelle9789]

Made the same mistake with my cat 😭 luckily, nothing happened too. Made the terrible assumption that if it's good enough for me(sashimi quality), it's suitable for her too 😬

[@james3374]

Damn, that looks good.

[@MsHobbies87]

try putting some tamarind or sinigang soup mix from the asian store... its a common filipino dish and the tamarind adds that little savory citrus finish that makes it refreshing yet comforting at the same time.

[@beatpirate8]

Thx!!

[@tuffgong2568]

Why are you so handsome? Fishbone soup is also a dish in Jamaica, I wonder if it is general "folk" dish?

[@Fragilehandlewithcare]

Looks very delicious! The only thing I would switch is using galangal instead of ginger.

[@Owlkisses88]

Thanks!

[@chenvictor8]

Luv ur cooking channel!

[@StanWatt.]

100% correct!

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

I have a bunch of shrimp shells - wonder if I can make stock with a that and then follow the rest of the recipe?

[@kawaiiLorenz1995]

I think a good figh for soups are golden theadfin breams. They have a sweet umami flavor like mix between squid and crab. It's a bit expensive when i was a kid. Now 15 years later it's very expensive. It's best for soup, adobo or even better make adobo then the next day fry the fish.

[@HenAndPenn]

New sub! Wow just found your channel. Amazing content, thank you.

[@yvonneanderson8064]

Thank you.

[@Skyder12]

I filet my fish and then boil the whole thing (minus the intestinal tracks, but including the gills and other organs) to make a good stock.

[@mandalorianmandalor389]

im not a fan of fish dishes, but that sound really good and i will try it

[@bengraymes4476]

just wondering, since oil is a bit expensive to come by these days- would roasting the bits do the trick ?

[@wuziq]

scrunches works, too

[@bartzbuddy]

I recently switched to pescatarian to cutout how much takeout I've been getting and to learn to cook more and better. So this is helpful. Also, every dog I've ever had gets excited for meat, but goes absolutely bonkers for fish. I don't know why. Mini Labrador: Aggressively stole tuna salad and sandwiches Terrier: Vocally begged for fish Siberian Husky: could not be contained when faced with red fish, especially salmon Lhasa Apso + Bichon Frisé: whined and begged when she could smell it My current Cattle Dog & Retriever mutt also acts just like your Pit Bull Terrier whenever I have fish

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

I've not heard the why, but I had a vet tell me that dogs drive for fish is why they'll go after fish based cat food and also cat poo... Turns out, one of mine has an allergy to fish. The cats also can't have fish, so it's not as big an issue anymore 😂

[@a.michaelmiller3667]

Hello Jon. I am just discovering your wonderful channel and would love to know what the bowls you are using are called. Thanks and keep creatin'.

[@Ray-pp5qb]

I LOVE that you made this video,and I HATE that you made this video. I buy salmon scraps often and its cheap af. I would hate for this to catch on. Then i go to get scraps and its a billion dollars a pound, a la beef bones. or pig tails,ox tails, and neck bones. All the shit that was cheap af,and looked down upon I suddenly have to take a second mortgage to buy. So, im crossing my fingers. lol

[@tynishaharris535]

Ok so we, the people, need u to start a subscription where we pay yo have you send us frozen cups of your broth. Bc lemme tell you how I am sitting here like I need that in my life!!!!

[@BrandonNewell222]

Where do you get salmon scraps in US?

[@slyowusu99]

Hello. Lovely video. Fried versus raw fish in fish soup. I am told the soup gets fishy if you stir it before the fish cooks fully. Rather than it being raw?

[@gabrielnash]

miss your cooking content !

[@pozucina]

Oh no! I missed the first part and did not fried…. Next time illl follow yours

[@jovartzy]

The food you make looks so good but I cry looking at all those dishes I’d have to clean 😭

[@jumpingcowcat6366]

It never occurred to me to boil my left over fish bones. I usually throw them in my raised beds. Gonna do this next time I get some =)

[@cmazt]

Collab with outdoor chef life please!

[@NP-zl7dz]

I'm so sad that I didn't have notifications set up and missed this episode as my local supermarket were selling salmon heads and I passed them by 😢

[@Krynis]

Yum.

[@cynthiabyas1344]

Yum crispy bones 🐠

[@exalt.]

Do you think you could preboil the fish instead of frying it? It just seems like a waste to use so much oil (I don’t like reusing fish oil bc it tastes fishy to me)

[@brianmcdonald6664]

Walleye would have been another winner and right out your back door

[@randomkast]

would it be possible to include how much time each step takes, please?

[@Lightshayde]

Can i use an air fryer to fry the fish? Will it do the same thing as with oil fry?

[@C93Tom]

My mama would cook something similar but with the whole eel and I believe is pickled mustard greens (haam choi). So fucking good.

[@brooklynredbird3298]

What type of oil do you use to fry the the fish? This looks amazing!

[@nicow6808]

What to do with yhe leftover oil afyer frying the bones though?

[@alisaurus4224]

Mmm, salmon collar is so indulgent

[@JudgeyJudgeyable]

In China, in Xiaoyang, a small town in the Hunan province, they’re famous for their salmon head rice noodle soup. Goddamn that was incredible

[@clayclifton3895]

Yeah...where have you been ♥

[@pocketlint421]

Just found your channel. Great vid. Where'd you find your cutting board?

[@applecake6373]

An excuse to buy a whole salmon, OKAY

[@UsaraDark]

What can you use this stock/soup with? Do you just drink it as is, or use it in other dishes?

[@wanderingfinds2268]

Would oven roasting the fish bones and scrap work the same?

[@CBB_swamp]

Can you recommend me a book where i can learn about these Chinese medicine recipes? :)

[@rabbiswhy]

👋

[@jordanthecoder]

Does the fish have to be fried? Could you do a quick broil instead?

[@ashleyward579]

honest question....I thought only pacific northwest salmon had this problem? I thought atlantic salmon was safe for dogs raw? Please inform me as I want to learn. Thanks

[@arman6954]

What makes raw salmon lighter or darker in color. Oxidation?

[@stephylee7967]

I can't find this soy sauce on amazon. Was that Kikkoman light soy sauce?

[@ookknnoo]

Does the oil retain any of the fishiness from the bones? What do you do with it after?

[@enter_eagle]

it looks like hes reusing it for the purpose of frying fish, if i had to guess

[@killercat1276]

LUV U

[@dragonboy718]

yes, bones

[@TL....]

can you make more new videos soon

[@poohkieness]

Do you ever freeze your broths?

[@andreaabrams3429]

I’m going to hold you responsible for raising the price of Salmon scraps at my local Asian supermarket! 😅

[@snuffles_au]

Any chance you can tell us where to find that induction wok hob?

[@snuffles_au]

nevermind, found your video on it!

[@benwebb1]

Could you roast the bones instead of frying them?
