The Ultimate Halibut Katsu Curry! Ketchikan Alaska

[@davidgraham4807]

Cherished my 6 years in Alaska (thank you USAF)…catching, cooking and eating halibut was definitely the highlight of my time in the Last Frontier. Awesome recipe and mad skills. Thanks Clams.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank YOU for your words and of course your service

[@kevingraybill2170]

Trip of a lifetime Will, the halibut looked amazing

[@CookingWithClams]

I’m still amazed

[@Daveincc]

There’s not many better tasting fish than halibut. Thanks for another great idea I’d never have dreamed of.

[@CookingWithClams]

This one was on my mind long before the trip!

[@johnnekoloff3368]

I'm going to have to try that recipe. We just got back from a 12 day Ketchikan adventure for our 40th wedding anniversary. I see you had your fish processed at Clover Pass. We stayed at a friends house next door to Clver Pass. Incredible fishery. Brought home 86# of halibut fillets. Keep video's coming.

[@CookingWithClams]

It is a magical place that’s for sure

[@JohnBaruch10]

Aaron with the comedy, “All I wanted to do is pump on something “. Lol. Will your so polite, a very nice characteristic.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha

[@VernBigDaddy]

You always get me when I am at “my hungriest” part of my day. Darn you Clams!

[@CookingWithClams]

I’m time it just right

[@SD-ft6gs]

I actively avoid watching clams before I eat lunch or dinner... I wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise

[@martybenham2579]

I went outside to enjoy a beautiful northern Minnesota evening and to watch this video. And guess what? The neighbor fired up the lawn mower lol. Too funny

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha that just made my night

[@madclouds]

Take a shot 😂

The fisher banter, hard halibut habitat, spicy fish crisp .

[@CookingWithClams]

Excellent

That looks delicious, thinking it might be my next meal to surprise my wife with. Will your recipes make me look like a rockstar in the kitchen.

[@CookingWithClams]

I love that thank you!

[@jacobsAK]

You guys did Alaska well. Learned some tips on pan frying. That’s some great crunch you got! Thanks

Great video!!

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!!

[@MickyC0601]

Another great video Will. Thanks for letting us come along I tell you I have to be careful. I learn something new on every one of your videos on the cooking end and sometimes on the fishing end. If I’m gonna have to play the drinking game, I got to watch your videos later in the day on the weeks. My wife is working from home. She frowns upon me drinking at 8 AM especially when I’m in the tequila. Best wishes Micky C

Hahaha amazing

[@franiannarone8196]

What a trip, love halibut 😊

[@CookingWithClams]

This is only part of it!!

[@bigcity2085]

Butane stoves ! Yes. I was an owner operator trucker and I cooked all over America with my butane stove. No carbon monoxide, so i cooked in the truck, in motel rooms, and everywhere in between. Now that I am landlocked in Colorado, I put two of them under my big steel griddle, and I can griddle inside or out, in the garage - anywhere. During the pandemic, I stayed in my studio in my garage to keep my mom safe - for like ...maybe 18 months. My butane stoves saved me/us. Great episode. Gonna spearfish out here soon, thanks to you know who....should be interesting.

[@CookingWithClams]

I love mine! I think I have like 5 of them haha

[@therune2you]

Anything that burns creates carbon monoxide, my friend. Be safe!

[@bigcity2085]

@@therune2you My mom used to use one in her little cabin cruiser. I used mine inside of two different trucks. (small areas). Plus, I put a carbon monoxide detector over one in my studio in my garage to show my band mates we wouldn't wind up dead on the ten o'clock news. I've seen people cooking on these on T.V ,inside, all over the world. I've been using them everywhere for 25 years. They are safe - but I appreciate the concern.

[@therune2you]

@@bigcity2085 I appreciate your reply brother. I should have said in my other comment that it really sounded like you know what you're doing and it's been working for you for a long time. Someone experienced like yourself isn't who I'm worried about as much. I just wanted to add the disclaimer incase someone who might not be as mindful as you read your comment and assumed burning butane inside say a small tent was a good idea. I was always taught how dangerous carbon monoxide can be, specifically in camping circumstances.

[@bigcity2085]

@@therune2you I hear you , because back in the day, there were tons of stories of people burning charcoal grills in their tents....and dying. Yes indeed - no charcoal in tents. However...you DO have to put your butane stove on something flat and firm. I will admit, I set one once on a vinyl bar stool,(stupid) and the vinyl got a little melted pattern on it. I actually wanted to send a gozillion of them to Ukraine...I did tell "Anna from Ukraine" about them. They cook and heat at the same time - this i know.

[@miketorre16]

mmmm looks good, I love curry....Try this brand, Lalah's Madras Curry Powder. Top Notch.....👌👌

[@ryanarmstrong6056]

For most recipes I like to blend my own spices. But for Japanese curry I just rock the Vermont Curry. I’ll be back in SE Alaska next summer. I think Halibut Katsu Curry will have to be on the menu when I return. That looks good.

[@CookingWithClams]

It’s hard sometimes to find a good one

[@captainbssurffishingcharte4724]

I am making that tonight with a chunky Florida Flounder but going to quick pickle the cabbage. Looks great fingers crossed on how it comes out. You have upped my game since you cooked that crazy Whiting at the house. Tight Lines!!

Hell yeah, lemme know how it comes out

[@ReelMahal]

Yo Will! That is a bucket list trip for me! I can’t wait to go fishing for Halibut in Alaska. Great video man! I’m super jealous!

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Will! What an amazing time you guys must have had in Alaska fishing. I’m really looking forward to head to northern Vancouver island in 4 days for a 4 day fishing trip with my cousin. I really love that Colville Bay oysters shirt. Their operations are maybe 0.5 km from my sister-in-laws place in Souris West. Hard to beat halibut so long as you don’t overcook it. We can get it here in Nova Scotia pretty fresh this time of year & it freezes really well. That might have been one of my favourite dishes you’ve ever done. Pray Mama Clams is doing well! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CookingWithClams]

Hey she’s doing great! I wear that shirt twice a week haha

So I only got to take two shots out of my jar of Mississippi Shine! ( that’s enough farso!)… I missed what oil you used to fry your halibut??? Thinking of doing this with some big thick fillets of Gulf flounder that we caught yesterday… We were one short of a two man limit which is 10 per person! (19). Gotta go to Alaska bro! Thanks for sharing! 🕷️

[@CookingWithClams]

Holy smokes that’s a lot of flounder! It was olive oil. Usually I’d use peanut

[@TheodoreBrown-jd6yc]

@@CookingWithClams Oh yeah!… I love peanut oil but my daughter is allergic to peanuts!!! I wanna do this dish for her and her fiancé! And yeah! That’s a lot of “flatties”!!! We can keep 10 per person, 12” and up. We only keep 14” and up so you can imagine the size of the fillets! Had a few 18 to 20”!!! Wish I could send you some pics bro! 🕷️

[@Julianne955]

First, Hi Mama Clams! Next...did ya hear the crunch on that fish??!! I've never had curry, but you make me want to venture out Will. Do I have a choice of how spicy? Or is it spicy at all? Loving these Alaskan adventures!

[@CookingWithClams]

Japanese curry is rarely spicy. Almost never

[@e.7.2521]

Great video. As always. I didnt eat your rice but it looks like white guy rice. Ps I'm a white guy. But my house is vietnamese.

[@CookingWithClams]

Washed 3 times, cooked with kombu then rice vinegar added after. So idk… is that white guy rice?

[@e.7.2521]

@@CookingWithClams for fucking sure that's white guy rice. I can't speak for all Asians. Or probably any Asians. Rice is just rice and water. Almost all the time. It's a specific ratio... rice and the tip of your finger of water. I could probably argue a specific rice cooker . At least in Vietnamese family's. It's always the same rice cooker. Anyway.
