[intense music] Come on. OK. Now you got fish. GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): I'm on the Tornio River, and I've finally caught something. It's a fish, right, Marcu? No, it's not fish, but stone. There are only stone there. Damn. I thought had one, then. Yeah. Come on, baby. [intense music] GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): The river is clearly not in a giving mood. Maybe today is not my lucky day. Yeah. Listen, what I'd love to do-- Yeah. If you don't mind, is taste one. Yeah. And we have a special way to cook this whitefish. That's hard. Yeah. A lot harder than you think. Yeah. Exactly. It's quite unique to be given a chance to fish with this family because only a few families have the rights to fish along these banks. So a unique experience. I just hate going home empty handed. GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): Marcu has asked his friend Kimmo teach me the traditional way to cook whitefish. We're gonna taste it in here. GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): This being Finland, it obviously involves a very warm wooden hut. Hello. Hello. How are you? Oh, Kimmo. Kimmo, nice to see you. Gordon. Wow, this is beautiful. Yeah. Oh my God. So traditionally, they're all cooked on sticks like that? Yeah, this is traditional way. Couple hundred years. GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): The fish are rested for 24 hours before they're cooked and then put on this open fire to roast. He's turning them round every, what, every three or four minutes? Yeah. Once they're colored? Yeah. That's amazing. And what are you seasoning them with? What's the seasoning? Just natural. No. Nothing before. Nothing at all. Wow. Hello. Well, let me show. Golden. Wow. That's golden. This is ready. They're ready. It's crispy. What's he putting in there? Yeah. This is-- What is that? Very strong salt water. And that's the only way you prepare it. And after it's ready. So he cools them down in the salted water? Yeah. GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): The saltwater prevents them from cooking any further and flavors the fish. What an amazing technique. They look incredible. The smell-- Yeah. -- is amazing. Kimmo, how do you know they're cooked? [speaking finnish] He has a thermometer on his finger. Right. He's got therm-- You've made the skin almost like bacon. It's crispy. Yeah. Not too hard. No. But not too soft. No. Got a beautiful color. Crispy. GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): Maybe it's the chef in me, but I can't stand by and watch Kimmo do all the work without offering a hand. Kimmo, do you want them turned? Yeah? Which ones? This. Turn that one. And this. Man. Ah? It's the water. It's ready. In? And next one. [bleep] You got to move fast because all of a sudden-- Crispy. This one? You start off with nothing, and then they're all going. This one? Check. That's helpful, hey. [speaking finnish] Yes. Fast, fast. Fast, fast. Coming up. Coming up. [speaking finnish] Oh. That one. That one. Go, go. Go, go. [bleep] Go fast. This one? Oh, [bleep]. Oh. [bleep] Last two. Kimmo, two to go. Yeah? One each, because you've done no-- you've done no work. Yeah. You just stood there. Yeah, I'm-- Yes. But I am the fisherman, too. Yeah. [bleep] Really? Seriously? Last one. Look at that. Great. [gentle music] Kimmo. Oh. Please may we eat now? Yes. Thank you. God, look how white that is. Oh? No, there's no bone. Mm. [speaking finnish] Oh my goodness, me. It doesn't need salt, Kimmo. It is really delicious. Honestly. It's the only village you can get it in the world. Really? Yeah. I've eaten a lot of fish in my life, sometimes with chips. But that on its own is delicious. And it's given me a lot of inspiration for the final cook at the end of the week. And I'd love for both of you to join us at the final cook. Really? OK. Now, would you do me a favor and go out and get some fish for the cook at the end of the week? Yeah. Let's say, I do immediately after this. Will you catch any this time? Yeah. For sure. Delicious. Thank you. Great job. What an amazing fish. Delicious. It's definitely given me inspiration now for the final cook. Don't get too clever with this white fish. First of all, I'm going to have to follow that technique and cook over wood, otherwise if you start filleting it, cooking it skin side down, nonstick pan, you're going to get absolutely slaughtered. So keep it simple, but a nice little find, the whitefish. [thoughtful music]
