We still make the Grey Poupon joke at my house but no one else gets it now. We can feel old together. 😆
FISH FINGERS AND CUSTARD! Literally what I thought when I saw this video pop up
Literally just today i come home from buying Fish sticks from the store. I sit down to eat them and i see you make a video on how to make them
Yeah, I buy my cutting boards at the restaurant supply store, and it is SHOCKING how INEXPENSIVE things are there! of course, food service isn't about wasting money to show off to friends, it's about keeping costs low and longevity. Those boards at my outlet are under US$5, and check out things like ladles, tongs, etc which are all under $5 items. Go in with $40 and walk out with your arms loaded with professional grade kitchen items that will last several lifetimes in residential use.
The most genius step was adding sizzling oil sound in post production vs using the original sound. Sooo much better and soothing.
Wow. Didn’t expect Chefsteps approach when it comes to stating protein names. Loved Mr Brown shows from way back. So wholesome.
If you called them fish cakes, your restaurant could charge $35 for two.
While knowledgeable you are a waste ofmy time. Tried and won’t retuen
4:58 Alton, there’s ALWAYS time for tots.
I love you Alton brown
why not pulse the fish in the processor instead of spending the time to dice it up?
I REMEMBER!!! …I'm old too.
Hey Alton Brown, do you like fish dicks? 😃
Anybody make the South Park joke yet?
Good eats..really
Great to continue learning about all things cuisine from you, Alton. Love the format. It’s peaceful, light-hearted, and educational. Cheers.
That’s great Alton now make a McDonald’s filet of fish sandwich
Factory ships made fish bricks and MIT designed a way to chop them up and bread them into fish sticks.
I don't believe you.
I remember the claw!
If you're starting with decent quality fish at home, why convert that to fish fingers instead of just making decent fried fish pieces (other than nostalgia)?
He must be a gay fish 🐠🐟🎣🍆🍆😂
maybe tart lemon custard for the fish
@Alton Brown you are the person who opened my eyes to the world of food and science…2009 I had all the episodes recorded on TiVo. I’ve been trying to purchase all your episodes online. Please put them up for sale, I’ll take VHS if that’s possible! If not, thanks for all the memories.
Better than school growing up, because why am I okay with a cooking AND a history lesson at the same time
I miss good eats.
Metal whisk on your enameled dutch oven?
12:00 turns out dirt does have a cost..go to a landscaping or garden supply. I guess you could just dig up some dirt, from so where, then you got a hole on your property. Dirt is also heavy and you'll probably need a truck for large quantities. Wear and tear on the vehicle and gas costs…. Time is also money
10:44 “mein fuhrer, i can walk AND cook!”
Damn I love Alton Brown videos!
Kanye likes fish sticks
Alton, you missed a bit of the history. Birdseye figured it out by ice fishing. However yes, I love your shows. I have always liked fish sticks. Now I put them in the air fryer, not the oven. Also Alton, natural oiled wood is antimicrobial by design. Also, regardless of what the fear mongers say, plastic is inert. Sanitize the damn thing and have a blast.
This channel in contention for the best channel on yt!
If Americans call fish fingers fish sticks, then what do they call what the British call fish sticks?
Looking forward to try your recipe
But I really wish you’d have included
Mcd’s tartar sauce recipe.
It’s the best!!!
yum.
I worked on a fish processor up in Dutch Harbor for 3 years. In doing so, one of my jobs I had was the Freezer loader and unloader. I would load and unload(same time) in 30 minutes. That was 180 pans, each pan was about 12 pounds or so and they were color coded for quality. I would need to have same amount of pans of the same color in each freezer as two pans make one box of filets. I worked nonstop from freezer to freezer unloading and loading each side of the plate freezer. 6 freezers continously rotated every 30 minutes for a 6 hour shift. Doing this while the ship was out in the middle of the Bearing sea. Not fun, lol.
There's no celebrity chef better than Alton Brown. And the Dr. Who reference was the cherry on top
Do you have any opinions on bamboo cutting boards?
10 min before any prep starts
In defense of the titanium cutting board… they are great – to stick in the fridge then to SERVE charcuterie on for a party, thats about it.
Yay!! millennial falcon heading home!! Looking forward to watching the continuing adventure
