All right
So, today's Super Shver Supermarket
We've diving into some important stuff
We've been down the aisles, but now we're going into the seafood department
I'm going to show you how to pick different types of fish
I'm going to describe what they are
And then the fun part about what we doing
now is I'm going to show you how to cook them inside my kitchen
So, let's go ahead and dive into that
I want to do sea bass first
And as you can see right now, they got some Chilean sea bass right here because I think people see seafood
We got Chilean sea bass, halibit, we got some cod, red snapper,
arctic chard, lake trout, butterfly
The consumer for the most part don't know how to cook these things
So I'm going to show everyone how to cook them and how to make it easy
Oh
So I'll do the 8 oz piece of that
And if you'll skin it and then just make the little slit, take the bones out
It'll be easy.
Trying to show people at home what they can get from like coming somewhere like here like you can actually take the skin off
They don't got to do it themselves
Things like that that they don't know about
So and then I'm going to show them how to cook it at home
Make it easy for them
That way more people come
buy more fresh seafood
And we make it easy
Also important when you get the fish
So, we just got our fililelets
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Appreciate you
Have a great day
So, it's important that no matter where you going to get
your seafood at, make sure you get some ice for it
It's very important
Seafood got cold
So, let's get back to the kitchen
Let's cook this up
We'll show you a proper way of cooking sea bass
Easy way to cook sea bass
I got some easy ingredients at home to show you how to do it
Let's get back to the kitchen
real quick. [Music] All right, so we are finally back in the kitchen and I'm so excited about this part of the show because it's fun, it's entertaining, I love trying out products, but education is key to us really unpacking these grocery stores.
So today is all about sea bass
I mean, we will have basically an episode for every single seafood they have inside of grocery stores, every single protein they have, every vegetable
We're going to tear it all down, show you how to cook it, how to shop for it, make it very, very simple
Uh, the first thing
to understand is that I got this from Whole Foods today
They can skin it, they can take the bones out, they debone them
Uh, sea bass, uh, Chilean sea bass, as you can see, they had to make a score in here to get this um, bones out
By nature, you're not going to debone them with a pliers or something like
that
So, normally, you just make an incision each way and then you just take them out like that
Very simple
But hey, if you have a relationship with your stores, one thing they know about me is they see me a lot in these stores
So therefore, I can ask them for anything
So therefore, we have our sea
bass easily broken down
And just so we understand, sea bass is an easy fish to like start trying to get outside your comfort zone with
It's mild in flavor
It's super flaky and moist
Like easy to eat
I mean, you can fry it if you want to, but we trying to get past frying fish
You know what I'm saying? So, I'm
going to show you an easy basic way to do this
Not minimal ingredients, but maximum flavor, and we're not overdosing on too much of anything
So, therefore, let's go ahead and get this thing started
We're going to sear off this sea bass
And I have a very easy tablespoon of bogi that we're going to
glaze it in
Let's go
All right
So, to start this party off, I got me some dope avocado oil
I'm just going to oil the fish
Nice, generous
I would say about 2 tablespoons
That's about equivalent to what I'm putting on right now
Nice and oiled
I'm using this amazing umami ramen
seasoning
Japanese style seasoning
Goes great with the little glaze we're going to put on top
And I'm going to put a nice amount of seasoning on there
Front side and back side
You know, we want some real want some seasoned food, right? Again, they skinned this for me
They deboned it
I did have to take a
few more bones out when I got home
Uh just because I know what I'm looking for
So, get my pan nice and hot
It is hot
My pan is I'm using some oil right in there
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to break these into two pieces
Make it easier for myself and you
So, pan is hot
A little smoke
coming off of it. [Music] Right there
There you go
Perfect
Want to press it down so that I actually get a nice sear on it
There we go
Go ahead and take this dish
And you see I'm just moving the oil
around so I get a nice crust all the way around it. [Music] And sea bass is an amazing fish
Like I told you, for people who are just now getting into eating something different, trying, you know, a lot of people like to try new things
This is a great fish
for that
So, I got a little bit of Irish butter
I love Irish butter
I love the flavor of it
So, I'm going to throw a little bit in there just for flavor
Not really basing this fish, but I am throwing a little butter in there with it
I just love a butter dust to the oil.
All right, after I get a nice sear and my fish is releasing for me, [Music] I'm going to flip it over. [Music] There it goes
And this is that perfect crust for you right here
And then what we're going to do is something very,
very simple
I'm going to put a drop of vegetable oil in here. [Music] There we go
Drop of vegetable oil
And then I'm going to throw it in a 450 degree oven for about 8 to 10 minutes.
[Music] All right, so the sea batch just came out the oven
You can see it's ready
A good test for this is the back of a spoon should go through without any pressure giving
I mean, it should just easily slide right through it, which I know these are done, but that's a good
test to know if your sea bass is finished
Just a spoon, not a not a fork or knife is too sharp, but a spoon should be able to go through without any force getting back to it
So, I have this easy I love this
Oh my gosh
Little Korean barbecue little boi
So, therefore, I'm going to put a tablespoon
on here
Put it right on top of my sea bass
I mean, moderation is cool
As long as as long as you ain't ODing on this stuff, it's all right
Like, I'm literally measuring out how much I'm using cuz sometimes it's too much sodium
I ain't going to lie with you.
But it's about how much you're using and that's really the key for everything
And also, make sure your butt in the gym so you got to worry about too much
Like, just work it off
So, therefore, I'm going to go ahead and pop this in the oven under the broiler for like 1 minute
Just let that glaze get tacky.
All right
So now after about 8 10 minutes in the oven, going to take our sea bass off
I like to sit mine on a little towel
Just let some of them juices get out of there
I don't want it all on my plate
Very simple
All right
So now that I dabbed that off
a little bit, now it's just time
It's so simple
Go with any side dish you have available
Nice, healthy, light
And there was any flavor to describe sea bass
Chilean sea bass for sure because Chilean sea bass, black sea bass, you know, black sea bass is a little sweeter
But Chilean sea bass would be
buttery
Super buttery, delicious, flaky white meat
Um, definitely something to indulge in
All right, so let's go ahead and dive into the sea bass that we made
Little Chilean sea bass
We got showed you how to cook it
Very, very simple
Buttery, flaky, moist
Oh, tender white meaty.
Oh my gosh
That is delicious
And you don't need no more sauce to this
We put like a tablespoon of like a pre-made Korean bugi sauce
Like just a tablespoon at the end of it just to give it some more flavor
This is delicious
Like super buttering,
flaky, melt in your mouth
All we had to do was sear it
I mean about 20 for this was about $25 for this these two pieces
It was one piece before they deboned it
Um so it's not the cheapest thing in the world, but I at least want to show you and make sure you understand how to shop for it, how to cook it, make it easy for
you
