Poor Man's lobster. The devil's in the details. 😂🤣🤣😂 Cod works best, but any white fish will do. Cut into 1 1/2 or 2 inch cubes. Medium saucepan 1/3 to 1/2 full of water, NO SALT, 2/3 to one cup sugar, sliced up lemon, or the juice of a lemon, or 3 or 4 packets of true lemon works great also. Bring sweet lemon water up to a low boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add your cubed fish. NEVER FOR ANY REASON, STIR THE FISH! 🤤 Bring back up to a boil, then turn down to a light simmer. Once the fish comes to the surface and stays there it's done. I like to serve it on a bed of steamed white rice, with a drizzle of garlic butter, and a light dusting of Old Bay and true lemon crystals. 🤤🤤🤤

Rockefeller Shallots: Finely mince shallots. Spinach: fresh baby spinach, but regular spinach will work. Cream Cheese: The Philadelphia brand. Half and Half Cream or heavy cream. Cheese: If you don’t have grated Pecorino Romano, parmesan will work. Panko gets crispier than regular breadcrumbs. To keep this oyster recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free panko.

When I’ve had oysters Rockefeller it had creamed spinach on top with a panko topping. So that was the creamy aspect you were missing. A friend would combine the drained, smoked oysters with softened cream cheese. It was so good on a saltine!

To make the oysters a full meal, add the creaminess you're looking for, and STILL keep it all from Dollar Tree: how about spooning the prepared oyster dish on top of a prepared packet of Knorr Alfredo noodles?

Now I am brainstorming an Oysters Rockefeller dip. Softened cream cheese on the bottom of an 8x8 dish, top with oysters, seasoning, hot sauce, etc. Bake and then serve with a spreading knife like you would a cream cheese and hot pepper jelly dip. My Mom Mom made "Poor Man's Crab Cakes" with shredded zucchini and now I make them several times every summer.

My Dollar Tree has Chicken of the Sea Imitation Crab in brine pouches for $1.25 as well as pouches of pink salmon. In the recipe for turning white fish into lobster that I used to use you also added white vinegar or lemon juice to the water which helped tighten up the protein in the fish so the imitation lobster had a bit more of a lobster meat texture..

I make a "poor man's sushi" by just rolling up rice in seaweed with no fillings. Kind of like a rice ball but in roll form. On a truly poor day, they will only get soy sauce. But if I've got them, ginger and wasabi will give me a "close enough" sushi roll experience.

If you are using canned tuna, spring for the 3.00 cans at the grocery store, like safeway. The tuna will be from italy usually and always packed in oil. Super flakey meat, firm not mushy. Mild and does not taste at all like bumblebee or starkist. Once you have had the good tuna, you never go back

Packed in water is better for you. Plus we can feed it to or dog. She is allergic to everything except tuna and turkey. We add potatoes or rice to it.

For the poor man's oyster Rockefeller. I suggest using a little creamed spinach if you can find it. That will give you that creamy element. Which you would get with normal oysters Rockefeller. It would come with spinach on top. And the cheese would melt into that. So that will replicate the element you're looking for. You might like it better that way. I do. 🤷

I love making sushi bowls and bakes from DT! I use the same process as your spicy tuna/crab, but I layer the rice with their cream cheese, some dried chives & crushing up the wasabi edamame (from the snack section). Once baked use the nori sheets to scoop that deliciousness and enjoy! Also, mirin can be mimicked by vinegar (rice, apple cider or white wine) and sugar.

My dad used to eat smoked oysters straight out of the tin on saltines. Oysters Rockefeller, as I understand, has a green topping; it's a secret recipe, and many have tried to duplicate it with things like spinach. I think they are also made with fresh oysters on the half shell, so a better substitute might be plain, unsmoked canned oysters. As a fan of lobster I've always wondered about the poor man's lobster.

I serve on a toasted hotdog bun ! They are so delicious and I never get tired of them , I keep frozen packages in my freezer all the time !

I haven't watched too much of this yet. But.... I grew up eating poor man's (lazy mans) goulash. Brown a pound of ground beef, with an onion. Season with season salt and pepper Cook till done and drain. For every pound of meat, add 2 smaller cans of Campbell's spaghetti. (Used to be Franco american) I was taught to shake the cans and the 1s with the thicker sauce was the right ones. Heat it through, make some buttered bread, eat it as a "fold over." 95% people I make it for turn their nose up at it. 2% can tolerate it and 3% love it as much as I do. It's simple hence why my grandma grandma and mom called it lazy man's, and it's fairly cheap, why my childhood best friend called it poor man's goulash. I don't love it once a month, but I do love it every 4-6 months. Too bad this is all sea food, I'm allergic. Good luck to all♡♤☆

To better mimic sushi rice on a budget, don't rinse your rice before cooking, it makes the rice stickier, and instead of mirin, you can use white vinegar, as usually vinegar is added to sushi rice to give it a slightly sour flavor. You can also use plastic wrap to make the rolls, or you can make more of an onigiri/rice ball setup as well, as tuna mayo is a popular filling for those in Japan

My dad is Swedish. We grew up on smoked seafood. I have to admit not my favorite. But that sushi bowl looks fab.

My fiancé loves smoked oysters in a tin as a snack on saltines with hot sauce. This could elevate it to a meal! Maybe I missed it, but I’m curious about cost breakdown. We like to go out for sushi, but these recipes are a great alternative! Thanks!

If you don't have mirin, you can make homemade sushi vinegar by heating up some rice vinegar with a bit of sugar and salt. I reckon other (more neutral) vinegars would work as well.

For a half cup of vinegar I reckon it would be about a couple tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of salt, but you can do it to taste.

The vinegar is very important, too! The pH balance of the rice is altered and that's what makes real sushi rice so amazingly delicious.

Monkfish is actually called the Poor Man’s Lobster and when it’s cooked it really does taste like lobster. I love Cod but it doesn’t taste like lobster at all. Try some Monkfish and I think you’ll be surprised how good it is

Oysters Rockefeller usually has some creamed spinach in it. That might give it the creaminess you were missing.

For sushi rice, you can substitute mirin with equal parts vinegar and sugar to get a similar effect.

I tried the poor man’s lobster a while back, and although it did not taste like lobster, it actually tasted pretty good. Never thought of putting it in a sandwich. I would dress it like most lobster rolls with a little mayonnaise celery for that nice crunch.

Garlic grown in china is fertilized with human feces so IF you have the option to buy real garlic, make sure the root is attached. Chinese garlic has roots cut bc of the feces. Canned/minced garlic from California is not fertilized with feces so that’s also a good option. I understand it’s not an option for most these days but if it is, go that route. 😊 Great video! Thanks for sharing :)

putting nori sheets into ziplock tends to not get soft/stale and while its a bit cheaper for the snacks if stored right you can get more nori. Of course if you don't eat them all the time like I do, like you said, It may be more worth it for the snacks. The snacks also come in flavors which is a plus.

More years ago the I can remember I had oysters Rockefeller at Delmonico's in New Orleans. I loved it and I truly hate all things oyster. It had green ( I think spinach and a cream sauce with anisette or some sort of anise. Could never duplicate it. Only time in my life I have ever eaten an oyster that didn't threaten to make a reappearance.

I love the sushi bowl idea! I make burrito bowls often and I’m a little tired of them. I want to use canned salmon, matchstick carrots, spicy mayo, frozen edamame, the rice like you suggested, and some sesame seeds. So clever about the nori!

Anyone can use anything they like, but normally sushi rice is made with rice vinegar or with "sushi vinegar" which is made from rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and a bit of water. Mirin is basically "cooking sake" and very similar to a cooking wine in the West. Once again, if you love using mirin that's totally okay!

I have not had tinned oysters for years. I feel inspired! The tinned ones look amazing in the tins! Amazing the formerly cheap foods that become expensive. Eels in the UK used to be cheap. Truffle mushrooms also used to be cheap! The world changes I suppose. Thank you for the video.
