I have a staring contest with a red snapper then accidentally close the oven door on its head. Oh, and we take about how to deal with WHOLE FISH.

Please tell me, Elizabeth, is driving the fish 🤞🏻😆
Fins fry up super well, and a tasty crunchy chip as a result. Also good to do a chinese style wok fry and dry fry.
Why is he remaking old episodes? We've seen the salt dome.
You are a treasure.
I hadn’t realized how much my anxiety had crept up on me today until I tuned in for my Saturday dose of AB Cooks Food and instantly felt myself decompress. This man is like human Lexapro. Protect him at all cost. ❤
The production values are starting to resemble another show I used to watch!
Awesome presentation Alton!!!!! you are for sure back and even better. always part of Good Eats that I loved was the props and as always, your scientific look at making cooking very cool. if you start a patron service for extras sign me up. you should be getting some mullah. just think $2.99 per Prescriber $$$$$ 😋😋😋 The Red Snapper Looks AWESOME!
Alton, I own every episode of "Good Eats"…this takes me back to a time in my life (long story) where that collection was my only entertainment for quite some time…while waiting to afford cable and internet… after a crazy solo move from the farm to the big city for work. You have been, and will always be, my biggest culinary influence. Thank you so much for going back to you roots!
1:55 it's also "Surface to bass ratio"
This episode was perfection.
@altonbrown This episode takes me back 20 years when I watched you do a similar one with stripped bass. Funny enough 3 weeks later my daughter was 3 when we were at the Toledo bend reservoir. She got a nice large mouth, and I prepped it the way you did on that other show. She loved, I loved it and it’s a memory that we have so thank you so much❤
This feels like what Good Eats would've been without boundaries. Great cinematography, good script with that signature ad-libbing. Alton's whole career has led up to this. It's so nice to see him in his unfettered element.
that bowl of salt looks just like you got it from the Gulf Shores beach
😂
21:00 the salt can be used to season pasta water , the egg white can be skimmed off top ? Using $10 in salt to cook a $40 fish is an iron chef flex ? I have had a $5 pound zwiegle that was cooked with $8 in charcoal ? It was great , but , cost versus utility are common concern ? I work at uber , door dash and instacrt and they claim the economy added 3 jobs ( I was laid off by Ai ) ?
When Alton was ruling out the different heat delivery techniques, I thought that he was going to end up on sous vide for this. It seems like it would have achieved everything he was going for without the 3lbs of salt. Then maybe, just before serving, a few minutes on the broiler to crisp the skin.
23:00 please do not feed your dog ' random fish bits ' due to potential bones or worms ?
Please tell me he's about to do the salt dome!
Edit… HE DID THE SALT DOME!
25:00 I know you are not alone ? May there be some amazing colabs ? I wish you could go to jack box and get hot box ? Its not a toy it's a key fob or minny Bobby ?
Red snapper! Very tasty fish!!!
I feel like VH-1 style pop up video bubbles could only make things better 😂
Roast a fish bone and make amazing stock with it ? burnt ocean" is an elusive flavor ?
I caught and cooked rainbow trout whole. I've shown several people the gill meat. So tender!
what oven is he using?
What a nice fish you have there, sir.
I'd love to see Alton go for pot pies and/or a good meatloaf.
Can you reuse the salt for anything?
That first bit of talking to the open oven looked an awful lot like the old Good Eats set…
I ❤ SNAPPER
5,000 people post how to cook a snapper I scroll on by. I see Alton is doing it and it is must see YT. Just so good for so many years. Personaility and production, top notch.
Heat Activated Potpourri – new band name, I call it!
I don't even like fish but I watch because Alton…..
Always entertaining… Thanks AB for making cooking videos so funny
(Headless) whole body catfish deep fried is definitely my favorite! 😋
love!
My generation generally revolted against cable TV. There was only one way to get Good Eats for most of us. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ We all use YouTube. And AB found us where we are to keep talking to us.
Every episode we take one step closer to Good Eats
Maybe use heat shrink rather than zip ties on the mic. That is what we do at Meta to demo raybans in live events while trying to mic the subject.
I have been a fan from the beginning of Alton. He is, and will always be my favorite Chef.
Mmmm. Salt crust
What you guys have been to pull off production wise is awesome. And very appreciated! It’s better than the old tv show. 👍👍👍
I love the effort here, but as a regular enjoyer of GULF Red Snapper, I still prefer fileting and blackening… Its way easier and full of flavor… But definitely wouldn't make as fun an episode…;-p
It's okay to eat fish 'cuz they don't have any feelings…
Malden!! Gateway to Industry.
I simply cannot comprehend spending this much time on something like fish…I even live on an island and don't get it.
Just make a steak.
4:14 stainless steel foil is a thing, and if you get the right flavor (316) it's food safe. Stainless steel is a poorer heat conductor then aluminum, however at the amount of thermal mass we are using in foil it's probably negligible
14:55 Out of curiosity, why not put it in through the cavity before you cover it and just have the cable coming out through the salt?
7:12 J.S. Bach is trying to steal the spotlight
So this is what it feels like when you ask someone about their hyperfixation.
