  1. Never had this type of fish. Can anyone tell me if this type of fish is easy to eat? Or if there’s any type with less bone? I’m always afraid my kids might choke on a bone. Also, what’s the difference on the meat of this fish compared to tilapia?

  2. I'm not afraid of the fish. I'm afraid of the bones. How do you manage them? Fillets are typically de-boned. Seemed like they were staying in place like a fish bones in a cartoon.

  3. My husband went fishing with some friends. They caught Fish and sent them home with us. How do we cook a whole fish on the grill when we don't know how to clean it you said the fishmonger did it but I don't know how to do that myself, and I don't have a fishmonger because this was caught right from the ocean.

  4. Sam, have to say… The videos have become better and better through the years. Give your kid and his staff a raise….! Keep up the good work all of you. Yes, this is recognition.!

  5. Thank you so much for this video!! I just grilled 2 whole tilapia with your method and they came out amazing. It took about 15 mins per side at 400F to crisp up the skin and be able to flip easily no sticking. I had half chimney full of Kingstown competition charcoals plus some prob another half chimney from the previous cook and was able to cook the 2 whole tilapia plus 10 chicken drumsticks

  6. So THAT'S what I did wrong, lol! I grilled some whole Catfish fillets a while back, and while we loved them, they definitely stuck to the grill. I cooked mine indirect. It went fine until I tried to put them over the hot coals to sear them. EVERYTHING came off man, lol! The seasoning, skin, everything. And we STILL loved it. I can't imagine how much better they'll be next time, now that I know to cook them direct. These guys were beautiful!

  7. March:

    Meatballs and Penne in a Spinach and Tomato Cream Sauce

    Sorry, all amounts from the heart. Figure it out.

    Penne pasta:
    Do it by the box

    Meatballs:
    Ground pork
    Panko bread crumbs
    Ricotta cheese
    Garlic powder
    Salt
    Pepper

    Form into balls (I like big balls)

    Sear all sides in cast iron then throw in 400° oven until 155° internal (carryover to 160° or whatever).

    Tomato Cream Sauce:
    Butter… Flour… Roux… Milk… Bechamel
    Garlic powder, salt, white pepper
    Add in marinara sauce. I bought Rao's, but make it if you want.
    Italian seasoning
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Plate it up:
    Add pasta and whatever pasta water to marinara cream sauce to make it nice.
    Get to simmering then add spinach until almost wilted.
    Add meatballs and toss to sauce.

    Garnish with green and Parm.

    Enjoy.

  8. Have to agree with DonPandemoniac! Excellent recipe and instruction, as always!! Sam, you have been our family's most loved TV chef from way back – 15 yrs maybe, when we would eagerly wait to watch your newest episode on Monday nights on public broadcast TV. We still follow a lot of those recipes, esp the pizza, and we all agree you have made us better cooks- all members of my family cook, and cook well, thanks to you! We love your recipes and your unique style of humor!. Kudos to your team and all your quirky comments 😉

  9. DONT be fooled by Italian Branzino, no one eats it in Italy anymore. 20 years ago it was all wild caught, now it’s 100% farmed raised on chicken feed.. eew!

  10. Thank you for giving me the guidance to try this for the first time (grilling a whole fish), I wish I could post a picture. I followed your steps precisely, and the results were incredible. Rave reviews from my mother who LOVES whole grilled fish. I even gave it “the business” 🙏🤣
