I have watched multiple of your shorts, and all I have to say is that I'm sick of wizards performing alchemy on this platform. How do you even do that? It looks so good and it looks real! First it was cakeomancers now it's vegan alchemists! Who's next?!

[@agneschrismer9946]

I believe this was the last thing I ate before going vegan 20 years ago. They were always my favorite junk food. Yours looks amazing, cant wait to try. Thanks dude

[@julieyoung3815]

Congratulations. 20 years! Amazing. I've been vegan 8 years .

[@Jay-oy1ld]

No hate, this is out of concern but please do make sure you’re getting a balanced and healthy amount of nutrients as veganism can be risky

[@V__Vahaa]

​​@@Jay-oy1ld veganism is quite literally less risky for your health than eating meat. Where are usually getting your information from? If you need any SCIENTIFIC STUDIES or CITED SOURCES to prove this I am happy to link. Also, if they've been vegan for 20 years they probably have it down by now 😂

[@bbqseitan7106]

The last thing I ate was a sushi buffet lol

[@moliesker]

​@@Jay-oy1ldwith all due respect, theyve been vegan for 20 years, i think they'll be able to manage no hate

[@gothicGumshoe]

My aunt was pescetarian up until recently, is now 100% vegan but really misses fish. She's also been craving fast food. I think I know what to make for her!! Love this recipe!

[@davidfulton179]

If you are in a hurry or can't find some ingredients for the fishy stock, a simple mix of lemon juice, soy sauce/tamari, and kelp powder (or ground nori) does the job as well. I've been using it for my faux-tuna recipe for years!

[@julieyoung3815]

Exact recipe amounts please???

[@mirwareprodzthe]

@@julieyoung3815eyeball it, it’ll make the food better

[@MandaAndrea]

My fiance is vegetarian and normal I get the gardien fish fillets for him...but THIS! ....😍😍😍 I will be doing this!

[@barbara-holley]

do it, sooo much better than the gardien!!

[@BiohazardBunney]

My man, you get it. This is what ex- vegans miss--fattening and familiar tastes. I admit, i miss mcdonalds sometimes, but knowing it comes from dead animals quiets that. But this is amazing. I'm going to try this, especially because it's low process and i have most of the ingredients

[@iheartcolorado9311]

HOW do you not have 1,000,000 subs!?! You are a ⭐️! Seriously hit it out of the ballpark with this one🎉

[@barbara-holley]

made a double batch of this tonight but for the breading i used toasted gluten-free bread (blitzed up in the food processor with a little old bay seasoning and corn starch,) and then i used just egg as the binder and man it came out perfect. i also used a crank down tofu press and let the extra firm air dry in the fridge overnight before i did that absolutely incredible 24 hour marinade. obsessed!

[@kateliness2]

This looks wonderful! I might try it with a toned down "fishy" (but still salty and delicious) flavor. I never liked fish but always liked fried things and tartar sauce!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

It's pretty mild as is, but yeah do whatever works for you, hope you enjoy!

[@kateliness2]

​@@TheeBurgerDudeOH good to know, then maybe I won't change a thing! Thanks much!

[@Lyran7]

​@@kateliness2 hi Kate, I haven't tried this particular recipe just yet, but I've used all the same seasonings with tofu and chickpeas, but I use at least double (I was never too much in to fish either) what TBD has used here, and even that's pretty mild, so it might be worth trying TBDs measurements just once and see how you like it 😊

[@joesphlebronrolando1069]

Can you do Mcdonalds vegan McChickens next. Please

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Yes!

[@denine5232]

I've been making tofu "fish" filets for a while now where I just wrap the tofu in nori then batter and fry but this looks like a far better way to make them! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. I'll definitely be giving this a try👍🌱🙂

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Hope you dig it!

[@erikalessard]

Did you try it? How did it compare please?

[@denine5232]

@@erikalessard I haven't tried it yet because I need to get the ingredients but my tofu "fish" was only nori wrapped tofu battered and fried so this one is automatically going to be more flavorful due to the tofu being scored and marinated before frying. I will post the results when I try it though.

[@ito_tofu5324]

​@@erikalessard I tried it last night and it is soooo amazing. its like McDonald's filet of fish but way better!!! you have to give it a try

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

This looks so good! Nostalgic food for me for sure. Always used to look forward to Lent as a kid because Mom would take us to get these on Fridays. 😂 And that cheese melting hack is genius! Gotta try it.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thank you!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

@@TheeBurgerDude Wait we actually JUST tried the cheese hack and it worked perfectly!

[@FrilledD]

has your mom completely given up meat? lol I am just curious

[@ScoobySnacks1738]

@@FrilledD she's getting there. She loves seafood, so she's considered a pescatarian as of right now.

[@FrilledD]

@@ScoobySnacks1738 She has made some serious progress then. Personally I am vegetarian right now (I still eat eggs and milk) I probably will become vegan in the future.

You are taking fish fry to a new level😂😂😂 Thank you👍🏾🙋🏾‍♀️

[@ito_tofu5324]

we tried this recipe last night and OMG -- it is sooooooo freaking delicious!!! using oyster crackers for breading is GENIUS! this fish filet was incredibly buttery - how?! it's like a super yummy flaky white fish deep fried. the melty american cheese (vegan) and tartar sauce made this sandwich exactly like McDonald's filet of fish BUT way superior!!! unbelievably good!!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Heck yes, glad you liked it! And yeah, the oyster crackers are my go to now instead of breadcrumbs! Thank you!

[@Blueskies1180]

This is so easy and looks amazing! I remember when I stopped eating fish, I relapsed 6 months later and ate a Filet-o-Fish, I fed sick to my stomach after so that was the end of any meat/seafood for me. But I CRAVE that taste so much, I must try this asap!

[@alexandragatto]

I'm Canadian and had never heard of or seen oyster crackers before. Based on the name I would not have guessed they are vegan! This recipe looks fire and I can't wait to try the tartar sauce!

[@suicune2001]

I always hated fish but I'd try this!

[@mwmentor]

You know, I don't think that I have ever commented on your videos before, but I have to say that I love your videos and your recipes - I like the nod to Chef John in your presentation style too. So thanks for all your hard work and I am looking forward to your next great recipe to try... 👍😄

[@Fudgeey]

Right on time, I found a jar of spicy pickles in the fridge yesterday and planned on making tartar sauce with it. I was trying to figure out how to turn soy curls into fish, but this will work much better haha

[@tragical-history-tour]

Could these be frozen after breading and then fried up straight from the freezer? This seems delicious by the way, can’t wait to give this a go!

[@gemfem777]

I get sooo overwhelmed with cooking, but your videos make me feel like I can actually cook more with a cool head 😂

The resemblance this has to the actual Filet O Fish is astounding, especially with it being a vegan version. Well done!

[@ThatllDoSammy]

Filet-o-Fish used to be my favorite thing at McDonalds over 20 years ago before I went vegetarian or eventually vegan. I can't WAIT to try this!!!!

[@hearourprayersohlordhearou6560]

[@xxxTacoJuicexxx]

Burger Dude….. have you considered opening your own pop up restaurant?? I would support the heck out of you if you did!! 🥹🫶🏼

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I’m too lazy!

[@christophermorin9036]

I loooooooove rice vinegar. Makes a good sub for malt vinegar on fish and chips too in a pinch. And if you think about it, Rice vinegar is really just the malt vinegar of the East lol. Also, I'm surprised you didn't call it a Faux-llet-O-Fish lol.

[@benjaminwhite883]

Would love a video on different styles of vegan pizza. The previous video on garlic bread pizza was helpful, but I’m specifically looking for guidance on Detroit-style or Chicago-style pizzas. I find these pizzas (which typically have sauce on top of the cheese) mask any shortcomings found in the plant-based cheese.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I definitely want to do a Detroit Pizza soon! And more pizza in general. Just need to practice making it more!

[@jussamanjussaman]

THIS RECIPE WASS ONNNN POINTTTT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@marystestkitchen]

Filet o fish was my actual favorite! Your version is definitely better though 🙂

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thanks Mary!!

[@iambenjamin76]

Where do you get your buns man? I saw that you had some sprouts tofu, so I’m hoping I can get some buns like the ones I see in your video at sprouts?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I use Wonder Bread, Ball Park, Sprouts and Whole Foods have vegan buns that are good too!

[@ryahmayer]

Ok you gotta start your own food truck or something! This looks so amazing :)

[@yulianloaiza]

If you had a restaurant, I'd eat there EVERY DAY

[@mspyewacketful]

I think So Delicious which is no more, so I like Follow Your Heart these days.

I couldn’t subscribe harder. As a vegan, my cooking has become much more creative and I’ll never go back to eating animal products.

[@fiftynineseconds]

Looks Streets Ahead for sure!

[@darthnixilis304]

Bear down for midterms!

[@deadenders16]

Looks delish! But I would definitely steam the bun, that’s what McDonald’s does.

[@amytg777]

I don’t do the vegan stuff but i can respect the ppl who do and i think it’s cool ur making content so that vegans can have cooking shows to cook along to as well.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Love the idea for scoring to get that marinade deeper in the tofu. Also, I too am #teamsidesleeper

[@altpersonas]

Lol the pan melted cheese trick! I used to do that to make sure the cheese was melted on people's burgers. Cold unmelted cheese is gross

[@V15lol]

doesnt miso paste have dashi in it - which contains bonito flakes? (tuna)

[@patriciachen1156]

can i freeze them after coating with breading?

[@PoorDunce]

Never had a filet-o-fish prior to going vegan, but seems like I'm finally going to give one a shot! Recipe looks fantastic as always - keep up the great work

[@TheeBurgerDude]

thank you!

[@erikalessard]

I don’t actually like fish. But this I would try!

[@Ykari00779]

I really do hate vegan meat but your videos never fail to make me hungry

[@Jacktheblackdevil]

Ich fucking respect that you do vegan meals. Animal cruelty free and not killing the planet. Especially with all the trends of "tooooday we are cooking half a cow" or "For this video I'm going to eat every animal that I can buy in the supermarket...".

[@brianholmes6392]

freezing is thee best way to use tofu

[@angryfishy8183]

You could serve a cardboard patty deep fried in engine lubricant between 2 mouldy buns with molten yellow Lego bricks as cheese and it would still be a huge improvement to the mcdonalds fillet o fish

[@TheeBurgerDude]

HAHAH!

[@erikalessard]

That's great and understandable that you don't like McD's but the filet o' fish sandwich is some yummy stuff regardless of how shitty it may be for you.

[@willd6215]

😆

[@calmaschamomile1252]

I bet this would have also worked well with heart of palm. Heart of palm has somewhat of a flaky, delicate fish texture.

[@vilespecter]

"Filet-NO-Fish" is the perfect name

[@nordin1975]

The bun should be steamed though, definitely ✌🏼

[@frankthatfunks2428]

I want to try side by side a western bacon cheeseburger and a vegan version.

[@tobyslebe6702]

Streets ahead, six seasons and a movie!😂

[@TheTimo5494]

I make these with gardien fishless fillet I tried I tried this though tasty the texture was for me I have to tinker with my super firm tofu to get the texture I like nonetheless this is amazing as are all your videos. I should make plant based content I'm actuall a plant based personal chef

[@user-es3ie2oe9j]

Same here! The gardein filet texture just isn’t the best to me.

[@TrobsEvolution]

Damn, that's really streets ahead!

[@rachelburns9640]

[@Vegan_Ape_2018]

I never liked eating sea animals. Looks good nonetheless. 👍🏾

[@Zencast5]

For the miso, red or white?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

White or yellow should be good.

[@CloverPandaQ]

Im a vegetarian and my favorite kind of veggie burger is a black bean- potato burger and i top it with cheese, obviously youd use a vegan cheese option, but im curious, whats a good recipie for one because my local grocery store doesnt carry any frozen kind.

[@adlsfreund]

Been waiting for this for a long time. What mayo do you recommend? The one I bought doesn't taste like McD's mayo.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

"Homer Simpson Drool"🤤

[@BethShearon]

I remember them tasting sweet. Am I the only one?

[@andrewwashere82]

1 question Mr. Dude Marinating pressed tofu, won't the liquid defeat the purpose of pressing it? Just curious if it does, do you have to repress it? Thanks. :)

[@RiotWild]

When you press it you’re pushing out the liquid it was packaged in, the marinade soaks up the flavors

[@andrewwashere82]

@RiotWild I thought pressing it was to make the Tofu firm and/or dry. I'm still learning, honestly.

[@poohfps]

Vegan Fillet-O-Fish call that a Fillet-NO-Fish

[@AllBeingsAreLoveAmen]

zip zap zop sauce!!! replicator please!

[@naughtynumber9]

Streets ahead!

[@MarouaneTF]

5:43 about the half slice of chees mcdo uses its because apparently they think i full slice would overpower the fish taste?? Idk why they think that but maybe theyre just cheap lol Also that filet no fish looks amazing i bever thought vegan stuff could look this close to the non vegan counterpart

it IS streets ahead
