The 'Deadliest' Catch & Cook: PUFFERFISH!!! (FUGU)

alright guys so well like 20 knots out of the South I was originally planning on not fishing today I'm gonna hit a couple of docks near by the house see if we catch dinner I really would like to get a speckled trout maybe we'll do shoot it but anyway I'm just one rod some gulps some soft plastics I don't even think I'm gonna bring the fishfinder I really don't need it I'm just gonna do some Inlet jigging and let's see what we catch all right I'm gonna put them back Oh see ya go for that speckled trout so the rod and reel combo that I've been using that's a dial a flagel 3000 and the rod is a dark matter ah that's available from J&H comm you can find information about this combo description below oh we got that whatever that is we got here set a pompano I mean a permit again maybe it's a Jack snook snook cool catch looking a little washed out there buddy you need to find some warmer water what is that I have no idea what that is I have no clue what this fish is it looks like I don't know no idea I think that's that silver Jenny what they call them it's in that family we're gonna put them back I really don't know what he is looks cool though Oh ha this things are supposed to be really good to eat is he gonna pop how much more can he go I haven't caught one of these in so long all right we're gonna keep the fugu that's where we're gonna keep get him on ice fry them up and some butter see how he is so this really wasn't a trip that I could get a whole lot done the wind was really strong from the get-go blowing about 20 knots there was a big squall coming mid morning into the afternoon so made the most of it and packed it up pretty quick from here caught a couple fish real quick and it's time to go all right guys I'm gonna tell you the truth I've actually never eaten one of these things before all I know is this particular species of puffer or blow fish is not poisonous it had to be the Simpsons years back in the 90s that made this whole thing explode but uh just like everyone thinking they're all poisonous and then I'm gonna grab bag of chips from the grocery store fry them up hmm it's kind of like a lunch I mean I wish I got to but you know one's gonna do I never tried it before so I'm more curious to see how they are and you know let's see how this goes all right based on what I saw feels like the meat is right about starting right there alright yeah that seems about right you're gonna I almost had it no just need the pliers for the initial grip and yeah basically done this will go in a ziplock bag this I'll feed to the birds that was easy yeah turned off any of the flaps here and you left with the basically a giant drumstick man all right so let me trim that off too all right we're gonna put this in a ziploc bag Beach dry I'm gonna give it a quick rinse before cooking and we're good okay so you know this isn't gonna be complicated all right so this looks like a it actually feels and looks like a real chicken drumstick yeah I guess now I understand why I got called that that's its nickname so just some flour right and I'm just gonna fry it honestly that's all I'm gonna do flour fry I got some lemon and I bought some chips so basically you know basic street fair food so yeah all right I'll start a smoke a little bit all right we're gonna cook it on high heat we're gonna give it about four minutes aside and then take it from there all right we've got our nice golden brown colors coming through all right we're all done here all right there it is fried up Blowfish nice nice finish on it and some chips and lemon let me give it a try it looks good I didn't smell look really good so let's go to taste all right here I go I'm gonna bite into it like a drumstick that's the most chicken tasting fish I've ever had in my life that is most certainly a winner that is one of the best fried fish I've ever had in my life all right guys there yeah that's Blowfish a truly divine seafood experience that was my first time having it it blows away all of my expectations it was easy to do tasted great uh yeah I'm probably can be prepared countless ways that was very easy to clean it cooks very easily can probably be prepared any way you wanted all right guys so there's a lot of fish that have like a cult following to them like I'll give you the the main example I think of as herring all the time right pickled herring fried herring which is good the following this has yeah they are 100 percent right that's one of the tastiest fish I've ever had it's easy to clean it wins in every book there is nothing there is no downside to this fish that I could think of except that it's poisonous I know the northern one and this is the Gulf one they're awesome so guys you liked the video leave it a thumbs up I have more catching cooks coming this is a fun one this one was surprising I probably would have never kept this on my own if I wasn't doing this you know this YouTube stuff I also don't catch too many but you know if you could get like a dozen of these man that's some good eats right there really is it's better than majority of fish I've had yeah that's really good stuff I got all the information about this video in the description below where I'm staying sponsors for this trip etc so thanks again to everybody hope you found that besides somewhat educational you found it entertaining - I did that's what it was good I learned a lot with these catching cooks sometimes is them putting out information and learning stuff as I go so catch up with you very soon
