I dont know who told you olive oil is “healthier” than butter, but you have been miseducated.
Awesome. Thanks
The reason the olive oil stuck while butter didn't is that you shouldn't use OO at high heat. You need Canola or something with high heat abilities. But…it is still better with butter 🙂
Salted or unsalted butter?
Oh, and nice freaking cast iron plancha, dude!!! So envious.
With the olive oil route…you said some people use spray oil, but you don't think it necessary. Doesn't look like it is with the butter, but if for health you want to make it with olive oil, I would try greasing the plancha before putting the fish on. Mostly, you're not trying to stop the fish from sticking, rather you want the charred spice coating to come away from the cooking surface and stick to the fish.
My hypothesis as to why the butter works better for non-stick is melting temperature: the butter is more solid at room temperature than the olive oil is, so it coats better. If that's true, and I bet it is, brushing, using a soaked towel, or spraying the plancha to coat it with oil will definitely help with this problem. It's essentially more fat to stop sticking…which is really about more even cooking.
Also, when it comes to health and butter vs. olive oil, you're really talking about cholesterol. Pretty much all fats…butter, grease, oil, even shortening and lard…have the same amount of fat. The only difference is heart-healthy vs. heart-unhealthy oils. In a balanced diet, I don't think a bit of cholesterol in your frying fat (occasionally) is a problem.
Butter is not bad for you…..don't be AFRAID to use it, especially grass fed butter!!!!
If you blacken it correctly it shouldn’t stick to the iron. If the skillet is correctly heated the fish should naturally release from the pan itself. Please look into correctly cooking with iron skillets and the smoke points of oils before trying this technique, because you really can easily set an oil fire on your stove if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Nice family god blessed 👍🏻 and nice cooking fish 🐠
Did you ever mention the TEMPERATURE of the griddle ???
Take a little sauce bowl and chop fresh garlic into it, sprinkle with salt, then pour your olive oil over it. Let it sit on the counter a few days covered and then discard the garlic. The salt will help pull the garlic flavor out and infuse it with the olive oil.
you said "available in most publixes" haha I thought that was funny. Thanks for the video, I am baking some flounder right now
I’m making this! Thanks for the butter idea… I’ve never done this for fish and I’m anxious to try it.
I did pancakes with olive oil and it sticks but using the spray works so much better. Use a real good grass fed butter. I think you will enjoy more. But try pineapple with bacon fish!
Can't believe I'm just seeing this. Thank you for this video. Fantastic!!
This skillet 🔥
Yeah, I do butter and olive oil. Olive oil keeps it moist. I mix about 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the melted butter together. You can also use 2 spatulas to help flip over. Thanks!
How do you guys freeze fish to make sure they stay good when ready to eat
looks great ! thanks for the tips
“just a cast iron skillet”,,,,, try a 3500 dollar EVO …..
Thanks for posting! Great video!
nobody uses PAM
Actually, all the newest science points to butter being healthier. Saturated fats are the building blocks of HDL, which WAY more important than LDL. Olive oil is OK, but STAY AWAY from seed oil (safflower, soy, canola, rapeseed, corn, etc etc etc.) It's toxic industrial waste.
I came here to look at different techniques for doing this. I'm going to try a lodge cast iron pizza pan put on my stovetop and heat it up really high. Just saw a recipie from a chef where he dips the fish in a mix of ketchup, hot sauce and mango chutney to make the seasoning stick really well instead of the usual butter. going to try it with some mahi mahi.
Love a good blacken fish. Great vid.
