Gordon Ramsay Tries Catching Catfish In Oklahoma | Gordon Ramsay

this is Oklahoma one of the many places in America where catfish is high on the menu it has a similar taste to Cod or halibut and the rivers lakes and swamps of the American South are crawling with this delicious fish this little beauty here is cotton chips to the locals it's the most amazing fillets of catfish they've been coated in cornmeal lightly fried and they taste absolutely [ __ ] delicious you can only buy farmed catfish in Oklahoma if you want to experience the taste of it wild you need to catch them yourself hello Mr Ramsey how Isa I'm going to be taught to Noodle for Mine by local Champion Lee McFarlane I'm excited to be here noodling tell me what it's but it's the act of getting in the water and catching giant catfish with your bare hands and what's the chances of being bitten be like a pit bull ready when he grabs hold every he'll bite you and make you say words you haven't said in a long time I can't noodle on your own so we're taking the family with us it'll be like fishing with The Waltons but hopefully their expertise will ensure we grab a decent catch this is Lee's prize patch Carl Blackwell Lake a stretch of water six miles long and four miles wide the clay turns the water a murky orange color which makes what I'm about to do 10 times harder now usually I'd cast the line out and wait all day for a bite hoping to land a big [ __ ] catfish but here on this Lake they noodle so basically all you need is a big Pair of Hands and a big pair of bollocks it's like his teaming with catfish and Lee knows it like the back of his hand we're heading to his best noodling spots with cousin Mark and his son-in-law Josh how do we see them you won't see it so it'll be like feeling in the dark blind yeah and that the minute it snaps first time bang grab holder catfish hiding cracks and holes below the surface the Native Americans thought grabbing them by hand was the best way to find food and people have been noodling here ever since first we need to find the holes on the bed of the lake using our feet it's quite a big holder isn't it a little scared that's quite Eerie I can't see [ __ ] off you ain't gotta see I mean I'm I'm using my feet and my hands and I'm like fishing blind your hunt surrounded by Bushland the lake is full of black snakes and snapping turtles and wearing gloves to prevent my fingers being bitten off whilst they go under and dig deep nails down there nothing else is in there we don't check by going underwater I could reach as far into the holes as possible feel how big that hole gets yeah that's big that's big all the way through we also check holes in the Riverbanks which are easier to get to but just as dangerous because this feels so strange that you're handing a [ __ ] hot wings to bite you so you can grab it by the gills and pull the [ __ ] out oh let's go and tell you mark you're driving Mark Leah's found our first catfish and is attaching a rope through its mouth underwater to help stop escaping holy man let's see what you got he then leaves me to do the hard bit pulling the fish out of his hole [ __ ] I see it [ __ ] bloody hell but success is brief one minute is in my hands on the next slips off the rope and gets away sorry guys that's part of the game another hour another location on the lake and in less than 20 minutes Lee has found another one this time it wasn't going anywhere you had to go under yeah foreign the bigger the catfish the tastier the Flesh and these boys will tell you this is by far the best way to bag a decent catch oh [ __ ] man he's a big one look at that beauty lovely and now catch was proof I was fishing with some of the best noodlers in the business [ __ ] oh [ __ ] Jesus Christ there's some white mirror good job we'll cut their tails let them bleed ready yeah because if you don't you'll have a lot of blood in that meat that's like we do to Pig huh that's amazing I never knew you had to drain them and your father showed you this way my father taught me all this right I've learned how to Noodle properly now I've got to skim one and then fill it one to skin one yeah what you've got if you look right here you just barely want to pierce the skin here's the next thing just like catching them Lee makes skinning the catfish look easy now it's my turn under the bow Turf in one day times [ __ ] pair of pliers and a pen knife it went down like taking your socks off there you go unbelievable now he's ready to play look how white that flesh is but if we wouldn't have cut the tail yeah that'd been all solid red down through there if you want it as white as that God is so tough so why are they so cheap because they're they're raising them in ponds these are wild The Taste is a lot different because these are bigger see I just think everyone's got the wrong impression for catfish you know that they do these are the best eats from that big mother that is delicious freshly noodle catfish skinned filleted and now we're going to cook them Cajun style I'm making a delicious fiery marinade using paprika cayenne pepper and dried thyme that makes the fish a lot more fragrant tablespoon of garlic powder season with salt pepper and olive oil the juice of two lemons helps to season the fish and more importantly it works the marinade a lot quicker give that a little mix from there roll the catfish around the marinade already the catfish is starting to absorb that marinade and then from there heat the pan nice and hot olive oil in get some color on the catfish to seal it and give it some flavor as we want there that really nice blackened flavor and that's why it's Cajun style delays with white wine to take the kick out of the spices and to keep the fish moist and then from there I'm going to make our vinaigrette two parts olive oil fresh lemon juice salt pepper and a tablespoon of white wine vinegar a little pinch of dried thyme nice mix that up sell it on touch of vinegar over there before the catfish comes out a nice drop fresh lemon beautiful look at that lovely out onto the plate once the catfish has cooled down all I'm going to do now is just get the catfish and just open up and look at that really nice blackened flavor on the outside lay it inside the lettuce and that has to be the most amazing way of eating catfish right few redneck noodles you ready excellent that's delicious and fast and Fast and healthy the flavor the flavor the catfish is extraordinary you normally fry yours this Josh is a an alternative a lot healthier so it's next time you're noodling you can fit down all those little cracks yeah please redeem himself guys am I officially a redneck now you're a redneck thank you that's one trip I'll never forget I can assure you spinach chicory Frick say Iceberg fennel spinach broccoli we've got Michelin starred monkeys

I honestly don't see how people dislike this guy. He's so passionate about what he does and then to see his nervousness and fear while doing this was awesome to see him out of his comfort zone a little. Then he started catching fish and was having a grand time with those guys.

When he's cooking, its a fucking action film of editing..

I went to school in Stillwater and have fished with the Co founder of the Okie Noodling festival. Him and Lee actually sunk a shit ton of oil drums in Carl Blackwell and McMurtury (a nearby lake) so they know where to go (mildly illegal). Carl Blackwell is also the Oklahoma Flathead Catfish reserve and has some of the biggest and best catfish in the state in there for research purposes for the Ag school at Oklahoma State.
