We Catch, Forage and Cook for a Two Michelin Star Chef!

[@PushingDownDaisys]

That chef was awesome. Fully engaged and interested in you guys and your work. Laughed so hard at admitting the fish was from market. Hahaha

[@fishwithcarl]

Hahah glad you enjoyed! that was a painful moment! the day we couldn't catch a fish when we needed to.

[@codypalm]

right! they should do more fun challenges together for sure! 👍 maybe next time they do the same foraging things but let the chef do his magic, then they all judge who got the better finds. 😁

[@fishwithcarl]

Good idea!!

[@cornell_are_i]

Really love that the channel has expanded beyond just fishing. Don't get me wrong, love the fishing, but it's been super enjoyable seeing Carl & Alex exploring other new found passions.

[@Viruherumu]

Mee too.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Rory! It’s been fun to try new things and make unusual videos, keeps it interesting for the viewers hopefully too!!

[@pauledmonds3249]

"Some of the mushrooms you can only eat once", classic Carl.

[@petekeightley2973]

This has got to be the best comment 😂

[@Krfification101]

I thought it was Alex that said that... maybe I was wrong.

[@stefthorman8548]

@@Krfification101 Alex was the guy fishing.

[@IntrinsicPalomides]

For those that don't know Daniel is actually a fisherman himself. He's friends with Jim Shelley and they go fishing sometimes, and Jim and his wife dine in his restaurant which is how they met. Daniel also built his own carp lake. Fantastic video, really enjoyed this one.

[@robinfrancis6554]

This is officially my favorite Carl and Alex video ever. This was just so much fun to watch and gave me a good laugh at the end of it... Your guys content is incredible. Thank you.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Robin! So happy to hear this! :)

[@BucksCorner101]

Thank you to the KZbin algorithm for recommending me this episode! Well done to the both of you! I've been a chef for a long time and seeing you both not get too flustered standing in the presence of excellence was quite impressive! Good on ya lads!

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers :) Happy you enjoyed it! Haha, it was haaard! We tried our best to keep calm and collected!

[@Skogmouse]

Same here. :) Alså enjoying the Just Alex channel. :) What a great video, kept on smiling. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Norway

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Morten! Ah that's nice to hear :)

[@stu4rtp]

Well done boys and hats off to Daniel for being such a good sport and generous with his praise.

[@TheOriginalFlowerdough]

mans had the thoughtfulness and respected you enough to finish your dish even with the critiques I think he might be quite a nice chef to work with

[@anthonyd507]

A true Michelin star chef. So great to see a chef of that level offering his advice. Very fun to watch! Well done! Also, as the professional he is, you’ll notice he never once doubted the freshness of the ingredients! So your efforts paid off! Really goes to show how quality ingredients and proper seasoning, keeping it simple, is HUGE. Well done to everyone.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you! Really happy you enjoyed it :) Yeah Daniel was lovely, and immensely kind, haha!

[@kopsu6739]

Chefs do not win Michelin stars

[@fishwithcarl]

The chefs do win them for the restaurants, and therefore are Michelin starred chefs

[@keithking4801]

This concept is absolutely brilliant. I could watch 100 more videos with same idea of catch/forage and cook for chefs! Glad this popped up in my recommend vids. Need more!

[@fishwithcarl]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Cheers Keith :)

[@peterjones3879]

Well done guys. A first class production at a whole new level, honestly better than most things on TV. Hilarious to watch from the beginning as we all know Alex is a talented chef, and quite experienced at foraging, and Carl enthusiasticallywent for it anyway. The difference in feedback in the restaurant had me crying with laughter. He wanted to adopt Alex and head but Carl. Well done, superb production!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much Peter!!

[@rukunman]

I agree. I have just stumbled across this video through youtube algorithm. Recently took my mum to a local fish farm that I had no idea that it was on our doorstep. The foraging aspect was fantastic especially the bramble and apples reminds me of my childhood yet I still go foraging for fruits and carry bags with me when I find them. Hope to take some of those foraging classes to help me a bit more. Think you should make more videos like this from time to time. I've learnt a great deal

[@mozquiff1155]

This video deserves so many more views. Huge respect to the legend Daniel Clifford for being such a good sport!

[@auzzieaustin4946]

Amazing episode, i love the fact that u both created dishes in a professional restaurant yet failed to catch a fish between you... So funny and added to the entertainment. The salt to the raspberries, that sealed the title for me, brave move and deserved the victory Alex! Chef was clearly impressed! Look forward to your next vid guys 👍🏼

[@DefconUnicorn]

Really nice to see a top level Chef being so nice and inclusive. I hope others who might cook in his kitchen for a first time see this and it helps lower their fears.

[@flappypaddles_]

Jacking your jobs in to make content as good as this is proving to be the best move that either of you could have made. 1 million subs incoming. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@charmless8358]

I Thoroughly enjoyed that video I haven’t been enjoying KZbin lately and this video brought a smile to my face thank you Carl and Alex

[@straiph]

Wonderfully entertaining! Kudos to the chef for allowing you in. What a great guy!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Straiph. Glad you enjoyed it! Yes - we couldn't quite believe it ourselves 😂

[@RyanThomas94]

Carl I hate to say I saw that trout escaping the second you walked away, made me laugh 🤣 another brilliant video C&A, love how you’ve mixed it up and done something different. Really enjoyed this one! Hope you both have a fantastic Christmas and new year 🤝

[@tst698]

Schoolboy error😂🙈

[@beargrylls6135]

Made me cringe so bad i dont know if i can continue watching this video

[@wanderinwolf3804]

that is why you just don't leave them in the net like that, you have the fish hanging in the net and when you set the fish down, you make sure the net is fully over the fish and the you don't put the fish in the net in the opening of the net, you set the opening of the net off to the side of the fish so the fish is inside the net portion of the fish, but the rim of the net acts like a "seal" to keep the fish from flopping out. I agree, as soon as I saw how he set the fish down, I was like, "bye fish"

[@fishwithcarl]

Hahah yep massively silly error, the pressure got to me!

[@Jonalexxx]

Alex almost cried hearing the chef talk about his food! This was so wholesome! Really loved it guys well done!

[@bencraven8379]

Cheers lads.. I laughed all the way throughout. Love these off topic films you do. You definitely should do more.

[@anthmacpappy]

Love how you two Brothers get along seemingly so well to the extent you canput it all together and craft a career our out of it..Better still the sense of humour dry as Dust..Class act fellas..Keep it up ..looking forward to the next Vid

[@theguernseybirdnerd7111]

Fantastic! You guys are the real deal. I've been waiting for a good time to sit and watch this, so 4am on a Thursday morning seemed perfect. Anyway, aside from fishing and bird photography, it was the best 4am of my life. Entertaining, brilliantly told and just great fun. Thank you, again, for the moments of joy you bring. Kudos to Daniel Clifford, too, for being such a great sport! CBX

[@fishwithcarl]

Yeah he really was :) really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind comment, glad it brought you much joy

[@AdventureswithaaronB]

Love the diversity, literally the editing is unreal, keep the videos coming

[@northshoreproductions3787]

That was absolutely brilliant lads. Well done. That honestly competed with, and even beat many, prime time shows for entertainment. 👏👏👏

[@jasonalsop6643]

I enjoyed this so much it just makes me wanna go on a long walk and look for things now !!!!!... brilliant guys 😀

[@dansinclair2749]

Amazing video guys! Loved the different take on this one. 👏🏼

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Dan! Glad to hear it :)

[@luap89]

This was properly class. Daniel was brilliant too, keep this direction going chaps!!! Cheeeeers

[@liamburnes845]

Great watch can't wait for the next 1..👍👍

[@markmock2887]

Amazing! Thank you men for 68 minutes (yes I had to watch it twice) of pure feel good content. I honestly needed this today.

[@fishwithcarl]

Ahh glad to hear it did you good, thanks so much Mark :)

[@theblobfish9614]

Shrooms n fish are classic combination. Tying that foresty note in with the pine tea might have been a more genius move than you would have imagined

[@ianberry1713]

This channel just gets better and better! And that’s something I never thought I’d say. I’d definitely be interested in more episodes like this. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

[@sherg22]

The channel really had come a long way and loving the direct its going in, its great that all my passions are now in one channel

[@willsy3796]

Fantastic video guys! We live in Cambridge and Midsummer house is incredible. Great to see Daniel and some of the team behind the restaurant in this video!!

[@albeal9213]

Probably one of the great cook off vids Ive seen. It was fun, light hearted, stressfull (gotta say kudos to the camera man not yelling "YOUR TROUT IS ESCAPING"! LOL) and enjoyable to watch. Thank you guys. avb

[@fishwithcarl]

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it! I was self filming on a tripod! If only someone was there to save that trout from flopping back in!

[@13thApex]

1 of the best one yet. Fun and just...FUN video. Please do more

[@ccortov9516]

You made me smile guys, thanks for that! Alex is a weird simple genius, i didn't saw the salt coming.

[@barneeka12]

As soon as Carl left the trout inches away from the water, I immediately thought it would jump back in lol. Amazing video guys as always! :)

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha... rooky error indeed! Thanks so much :)

[@Tass...]

I love the diversity of content you guys put out. All linked together by the great outdoors.

[@kimmyrask7368]

This was absolutely great! I had a smile on my face during the whole video! Loved it!

[@Emielio1]

As others have said: I love it that you guys don't solely focus on fishing, but include tons of other interesting stuff. I love cooking as much as I can from scratch (especially Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Indian and Italian food), as well as living a sustainable life that includes catching, slaughtering, foraging and growing your own food, so I absolutely enjoyed the heck out of this vid :) Keep up the great work!

[@Viruherumu]

Yeah exactly.

[@edbennett69]

Laughed so much at this one, quality video! Love the mix of content now and definitely keep up with the mushroom and foraging videos!

[@maarten531]

One of the best videos I've see from you guys, absolutely loved it!

[@masonmartin9523]

Please make more videos like this! I really enjoyed watching you find and cook ingredients to make a meal from nature.

[@fishwithcarl]

Glad to hear it Mason!!

[@buckrichard7690]

This has been the best thing I’ve watched this Christmas. Thank you!

[@fishwithcarl]

Wow, thank you!

[@matthewtanner9823]

That was a great contrast to a fishing video. I enjoyed it, you had fishing, humour, and foraging. All governed by the serious chef. Brilliant!!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you!! Wanted to try changing things up a bit and we had so much fun!!

[@paulgibson8623]

Absolutely brilliant. Laughed all the way through. One of your best yet lads👍

[@EmeraldElkDB]

The anglers both bought fish 🤣 love it lads great video

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha. We were very unlucky. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@nathanredfearn3081]

Captivating. Could quite easily have been on TV. Well done on another great production.

[@f1sh3rman]

Excellent video, didn’t skip a second of it. Unlucky Carl! #teamyoungerbrother

Cheers Kennie! :)

Absolutely fantastic video guys!!!! Really enjoyed that - thanks for the effort of putting that together!

[@fishwithcarl]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thanks so much for your kind comment :)

This was your best video ever, probably there was a lot of work with it, but it worth every minute/penny. Well done guys!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks mate, wow. Happy you enjoyed it :) Haha, yeah so much work, and nerve wracking, but so fun. Fair play to Daniel for letting us into his kitchen 🤣

[@mackay408]

love the edit at the beginning which i originally thought was a bad edit where it shows a clear 19 and 21 score, having me believe i knew who had won until the dessert scores make an appearance! a really good watch. thanks

[@petekeightley2973]

Excellent work lads. Thanks for making this one. Just what I needed on this cold dark damp Saturday afternoon.

[@jakemaclaren8706]

Really interesting and funny carl and alex keep it up 👏👍

[@MegaJakey1991]

Live for this content from you guys. You both are inspirations. Take a bow

[@carlpeacey5328]

Ive watched the majority of your content over the years, the Carl vs Alex ones are my favourite this one really did make me laugh! Thanks and well done, keep it up!

[@fishwithcarl]

Ahh cheers Carl! Glad you enjoyed them! :)

[@theukwildlifechannel1696]

Got to say, that's the best thing you guys have ever done. And your bar was already very high. Top quality content. Well done.

[@fishwithcarl]

Wow... thank you so much. Means a lot.

[@shadypoison]

Loved this! So funny and very entertaining. What a fantastic opportunity and an equally brilliant Chef

[@fishwithcarl]

It was, we're very grateful! Happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much :)

[@ukaszbaranski9720]

Brilliant episode. I've been watching your YT channel for quite a long time, but on this one I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that.

Awesome, thank you! Happy to hear it ❤️

I am going through your channel and im watching every episodes.Gotto say i am enjoying each and every one off them.Keep up the good work

What an awesome video, so lovely to watch and so interesting. You are the best guys, love your content!

[@mornehamlyn8876]

Looked like a whole bunch of fun!!! Great video!

[@fishwithcarl]

It was pretty stressful at times but also very enjoyable!

[@pauldaniels9049]

Absolutely awesome, really enjoyed that .well done Carl and Alex

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you! :)

[@ALoadOfOldScrap]

Great idea!! I'd love to see this with you guys foraging the ingredients and the chef coming up with and cooking two dishes.

[@Nanoqtran]

I think the reasons both the mango and the black berries deserve a 10 in creativity is because you need to have full confidence in your ingredient. You come to the realization that this ingredient is so great that any transformation is a disservice to the dish.

[@fishwithcarl]

Well put :) for sure.

[@neuuser7071]

Or only have one ingredient left.

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha

[@marshallhowe4925]

This was an awesome idea loved this I'm a trained cook and I also love foraging this never thought of bringing the two together I might try this for some other cooks I know

[@jamiegirling5271]

Can’t say much else except another great video. Unfortunately I didn’t get the notification saying you guys had uploaded which is why I’m so late to watching the video. But over all plenty of giggles and an amazing video.

[@mattholmes2589]

What an episode lads. Great work can't wait to see some more.

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah that's kind, thanks so much!

[@dolphins19671]

Fishing channel, and you bought them both from the flipping cold counter. 🤣🤣 This was serious a great watch, thanks for posting. 👍🏻

[@carpes4382]

Loved it boys and I have been following you since you were kids. From Richard from France. Keep going it’s amazing. You should make a challenge in France or the uk like Matt Hayes did. 20 days catching all the species you can find in the river. People would vote for this and would love it. Bonne chance!

[@akintomeatloaf]

Haha this was so good! So many different angles and the creativity on making/filming, the judging aspect, was really cool!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it :)

[@bosweg10]

Great combination of masterchef and you guys. Loved it

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Paul! Glad you enjoyed it

[@Baron-Ortega]

That was bloody awesome! Well done guys 👍

[@Hazzersandell]

Good watch that boys! I'm a chef and to see the way you walked into a fully equipped professional kitchen and held your own was seriously impressive 👌🏼👍🏼

[@Amadeus_Flyfishing]

Haha this is definitely one of my favorite episodes ever. I love how creative you got with the little food you got. And how you managed not to catch a fish - which I thought would be easy cake for you ;)

[@fishwithcarl]

I know... hahah. Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@RMinkjunkie]

Love it this was so good love the cooking and foraging should do more catch snd forage cook up vlogs 👍🏼

[@Fishingbug]

Really enjoyed this video, my favourite so far. We need a round 2!

[@Jamesah1975]

Has to be my favourite episode yet! Proper funny 😆

[@Reptile_Gecko]

Random little tip I learned is that with nettles, do NOT be gentle, you being gentle causes you to get stung, whereas if you just go in with force and grab the nice top of the plant before throwing it into the your bag, jar, basket, whatever you shouldn't get stung at all or at least very minimally, I found this out from my mum who was talking to someone who found it out so she could make nettle jam I believe, and it genuinely does work, so for the types of nettles he was collecting you can actually be quite forceful with them and it'll protect you even better than some gloves, which at times just make it more complicated.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks for the tip Chloe!

[@jayv5256]

Another great production, good fun viewing and own made salt wins the day!

[@brianratchford5643]

Love this video! I laughed so hard while watching it while I was on the treadmill, I nearly fell off of it. My wife kept yelling at me, to be careful. Or get off the machine. I didn't know which one of you I wanted to win. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
