Seth Morris and Spencer Neuharth Eat Goldfish | S2E04 | Pardon My Plate

[@bford98541]

Baby Cal is quickly becoming one of my favorites

[@AngryOscillator]

omg he is!

[@nickk964]

This is hands down my new favorite thing to watch.

[@Casondahunter]

Possible options for Pardon my Plate Groundhog Snake (any kind) Iguana Skunk Opossum Raccoon Otter Fox Turtle (red eared slider) Gar Raven Toad Lynx (could compare to bobcat) American eel Ring Neck duck Merganser Armadillo Badger Prairie dog Ring tailed cat Edit: I love this series! We need a season 3!

[@Cezzzrlandin]

Red eared slider! There’s so many

[@jeremyblackwater439]

Groundhog is probably decent

[@Mr.Kenobi]

Alligator Gar is good, tough scales but nice mild white meat

[@brianlocal3]

This is one of my favorite series because I grew up eating all kinds of stuff people consider weird so I kind of enjoy this

[@bluesteel8376]

They cook coon on a regular meateater episode. A bobcat is a type of lynx, so that would be repetitive. A Raven is just a type of crow, so that would be repetitive as well. I don't think they would consider snake and toad to be very exotic. Steve ate a rattle snake on meateater and I know the meateater team eats frog legs. Gar is also not exotic and Steve has eaten it on the show before.

[@Fullyautomaticmechanic]

The real question is: How did they get such great camera work without Seth behind the lens?

[@SnailHatan]

Great? The camera never stays still. Every single shot it’s shaking around.

[@AngryOscillator]

Jani?

[@richhunter515]

You’ve gotta try silver carp. Often confused with common carp but has a beautiful white meat and filter feed on algae. They’re delicious fish but unfortunately have Y bones

[@loganzimmerman551]

My first job after getting my Ichthyology/ Aquaculture/Aquaponics degree was managing a Goldfish breeding operation. Disgusting creatures. They are bred for horrible deformities because they look "cute." They are actually somewhat toxic, and often disease-ridden, so never use them as feeders for turtles or other fish. I really had no hope for their ediblity. Was fun to watch you try! Maybe try pickling them after soaking them for a few hours in saltwater.

[@plookngo67]

better cook them before pickling unless you want liver flukes or tape worms

[@ciello___8307]

Probably can be used for bait

[@tigersbaseball1989]

Love all the meateater shows! But can we get a video version of the podcast pretty please 🙏 😊

[@erikfrankfurt4650]

I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THIS! I love this show.

[@larschinburg199]

@meateater Can you guys keep a running ranked list of your favorites and show it at the end of each episode? Would be fun. Thanks

[@Casimyr78]

It keeps getting better and better!!!!

[@bluesteel8376]

I bet the body of water you caught them in is the main reason for the taste. Small ponds are not exactly known for clean, high quality water.

[@sheepledtotheslaughter4917]

Had a gold fish as a kid, woke up one morning and its stomach was stuck to the filtration intake pipe, turned off the filter and realized it tore its stomach open and its intestines were hanging out, he stayed alive for a couple days swimming around with its intestines hanging out.

[@adriandavis7384]

I work for a landscaping company in northern Wisconsin. The bosses daughter threw goldfish in a waterfeature at our shop. She tried to get them all before winter but missed one. The pond almost froze solid and that goldfish lived in it through the winter. Alive in the spring.

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

There are very similar fish farmed and consumed in northern & Eastern Europe for precisely that reason! Prussian Carp and Crucians.

[@JacobTFuller]

I appreciate y'all "stepping out of bounds". The first time I was impressed with not respecting norms was the time he ate a coyote

[@dcskamau]

love this series

[@enwakaeze]

After this video posted, I literally went through their videos to see all the crazy shit they’ve eaten.

[@Verlisify]

With the rise in Goldfish bycatch this is actually a really good video idea

[@tyb525]

But they need to cook it in an appropriate way! Fried is not the way to cook these fish, or any fish with wye bones. Smoked, grilled, canned, pressure cooked, or ground into fried fish balls would've been much better.

[@Eric-dr5bj]

@@tyb525 They mentioned how they are doing simple preparations to actually try the meat without burying it in other flavors. When in doubt, all meat in a curry tastes pretty much the same.

[@vitaly6312]

Here’s a good recipe for gold fish: 1-salt it, leave it in the fridge overnight 2-brine it in pickle juice or a simple brine (water, salt, sugar, seasonings) for a few hours 3-buttermilk dredge (flour, buttermilk, Panko breadcrumbs or other crumbs) 4-oil at 375 5-throw the fucking fish in the garbage.

[@shayshale]

😆 my husband was watching this and he thought it was the tahoe answer at the beginning. We're from tahoe and he got it wrong. I knew this because they pulled some huge gold fish out of the lake a few years ago. Thanks for adding us. 🤪

[@matthewhampton5138]

Y’all are brave! I can’t imagine something much worse than eating bad fish.

[@timw4432]

This is the greatest show to come out of 2022

[@lunkydog]

Armadillo next. And be sure to show their pelvis(whole) with the meat off of it. Wonderful piece of natural engineering. Triangulated like a racecar

[@SH-lb1nu]

use them as fertilizer, dried and ground they are great for gardens. What settlers use to do with gold eye and suckers.

[@C123--]

Seems like pickling them whole and then peeling off the meat afterwards would be a good approach here. Could maybe try to smoke them like a kipper too, not sure about the taste there though.

[@ycantwebefriends1]

First thing that came to mind was Grand Theft Auto III on the radio station where a listener calls in and says something like, "You ever eat opossum? opossums good, tastes like Zebra meat," "Squirrels though, they ain't that good, kinda tastes like Goldfish." Cracks me up every time.

[@ycantwebefriends1]

Found it. Literally within the first 50 seconds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2annGemZ7KlgrM

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

Squirrel is actually pretty tasty

[@ycantwebefriends1]

@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 For sure! We eat them all the time here in Central Texas. Actually prefer it over rabbit.

[@fingerslinguine]

Such a great series

[@victorad34]

You should do iguana! It’s a delicacy in some parts of the world, I’ve had and it’s pretty great.

[@timw4432]

I remember Bourdain eating boiled iguana in a Cook’s tour 😂 looked horrendous

[@chancecurtiss9885]

season 3 has to happen

[@patrickhalbert6377]

Dueling plates, Bowfin vs Snakehead vs Burbot.

[@MrLobstermash]

I've eaten about a dozen carp since that first episode. But as expected the goldfish aren't in much danger. They don't even fight much when you hook them.

[@upstateoutdoors6566]

This series is great. I’d like to see raccoon and a merganser duck episode at some point. I’ve heard of some people eating raccoon but not mergansers.

[@jameswalker3973]

Raccoon is quite good.

[@michaelb1761]

There's a reason for that. My grandfather said mergansers taste like mud.

[@mudlite450]

Pardon My Plate is pure gold. Not only entertaining but super informal for us hunters. Let’s cook up some grinnel on an episode, don’t know of anyone one eating those either

[@kalebsheridan9017]

RAISE YOU’RE HAND IF YOU WANT A HAMSTER EPISODE! 🤚🤚🤚

[@benbiird5568]

Made my day 😂

[@aidenbehrendt7178]

😅😅😅😅😅meee

[@kborgs]

Really can’t say I ever expected this😂

[@tylerbate284]

Man, pardon my plate is awesome!

[@hunt_trap_fish]

What you're looking for, with wild hogs, is actually a wet sow, which means she's still feeding her piglets, but is not pregnant. They need a TON of calories to keep up their milk production, so they have a ton of fat.

[@quezbeme]

A tip for scaling fish at home: put the fish in a trash bag or large plastic grocery bag and scale the fish in that. It helps keep the scales contained

[@BobleeBBQandOutdoors]

Love these videos! Keep up the great work!

[@shaneedwards367]

Great garden fertilizer

[@kylelay6858]

I love this show 🤣🤣🤣

[@urban.homestead]

Spencer shining his flashlight through a Montana agate is a nice little nod to his weekend rockhounding habit. Would love to get over to Montana and rockhound the Yellowstone with you man!

[@addventure2863]

Asian carp( silver, and bighead) are so damn good. White flakey sweetness.

[@trophbrwntrouthunter]

You guys ruined my dinner plans, I’ve got a bag o gold fish defrosting now😂

[@mattpinkerton7823]

Light fly rod, tons to fun to catch a pile and EXCELLENT for cats. Throw em on a jug and wait!

[@smicksmookety]

I've started farming cats out of my basement and selling them to street food vendors because of your show.

[@andyanderson2143]

Very capitalist of you! Merica!

[@conner3328]

More pardon my plate! love the series

[@jacobwilliams4027]

Is it just me or has that calendar been set to April since last season?

[@michaelb1761]

I had some large goldfish at home that were well over a pound by the time they died. I can't imagine eating them though, and this show settled that I will never try.

[@wagessin3596]

Foiled baked ..stuff it with aromatic herbs..mint,peppercorn,hot Thai peppers,dill greens,lemon slices.. salt/pepper season as needed….that is how my father cooks carp ..and it tastes delicious 🤤

[@jero1918]

Thanx

[@coy6140]

Wonder if you put them in a fish tank to clean them like crawfish if that would improve taste?

[@codybuscher9272]

Oh man , here we go

[@sam13rod]

This has to be a PMT tribute

[@mitchclarkshapes5373]

fishes? fish. plural....... great series

[@kfirla9845]

The series finale would be pardon my plate: human

[@curtismartin1129]

Would like to see an episode on bowfin

[@dr.froghopper6711]

One of our local lakes had to import Tiger Muskies to rid itself of goldfish.

[@Scentedsam1993]

Can we please get Chester a show

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

I think they must be nice! I had koi carp when I lived near Asia and it was amazing!!

[@vitaly6312]

Near Asia? Like what? Middle East? Europe? Australia?

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

@@vitaly6312 where Europe ends and Asia starts it’s a little debated where that line is lol

[@mikes6884]

Chester has been hitting up the animal encyclopedia for MeatEater trivia.

[@ChasinStuds]

Oh boy that all sounded like all the reasons I only put them on hooks

[@Ranger_k16]

Ok now you gotta do Guinea pig

[@tinglemccringleberry8899]

Respect for the knife skill on cleaning that piece of shit

[@ricardodafonseca9043]

I think you guys need to relook these and carp. But you need a soak in a vinegar water solution before cooking

[@simonsmith9363]

To make worthwhile food goldfish are best dug in to fertilise your veg garden!

[@rodneyalaking8241]

Next episode, Spencer and Steve eat parakeet.

Carl looks strait up like mcloven

[@JasonAJames]

Yooo! This tastes like crap! Watch us keep eating all of I! LMAO 🤣😂🤣 Y'all torturing yourselves!

[@ConnorTierney]

Definitely gotta do Vulture!

[@JoshT814]

I wanna see Chester on a episode

[@dakotafoley5632]

Anyone catch what knifes was used to open the box in the intro? Looked like some sort of leatherman to me maybe skeletool

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

I never had a goldfish as a pet or as food I just think there isn't enough meat there so I use to just chop them up to chum the water if I caught them.

[@Joe-kg5mw]

I would have liked to see them catch these monster Goldies!

[@coltonwinkler5783]

What about Opossum?

[@jamesmarino6265]

What's with the great value Cal?

You gotta do an opossum!

[@calebhudson3669]

You guys should do Guinea Pig next

[@danielking6186]

I have to be up in 4 hours for work yet I’m watching a KZbin video where a couple guys eat a goldfish…

[@Kdk058]

This is the first one where I was legitimately concerned 😥

[@kendallkahl8725]

The actual name for the goldfish species is Crucian Carp. They are so hard to catch with a line Europe has fishing clubs dedicated to them and they are majorly skilled. They came to the USA and had a great time because we are so packed with them and we don't even know.

[@RenegadeBeef]

Ole Chedder! EFF’EM BUCKY!!! Keep slayin the wally-dogs!!!

[@attalan8732]

Of all the fish one might find in a household aquarium, the goldfish is probably the one least likely to mind being eaten.

[@lonnywilcox445]

Goldfish? Seriously, catch a bunch of them, bury them in the garden to help the corn grow, feed the corn to the cow and have a meal.

[@jameslund2658]

What about soaking it in buttermilk overnight or a marinade?

[@amorton94]

I would also like to see you do Prairie Dog. Iguana sounds cool too.

[@chrismckinney1135]

Common merganser next!

[@moemcarthur4228]

There is room for all gods creatures...right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy!

next: asian carp!

Deff have to do Prairie Dog and Northern SnakeHead as a invasive animal and is well eating fish. No/low fish taste, firm white meat with some pink bits.

There is a particular mountain spring in Nevada that is full of those nasty goldfish. They make fine targets for .22 practice. Let's just call it the CCI Filet method.
