Brotherly advice, dredge the fish first before dunking it in the batter. This will make the batter adhere to the meat more. 😊

Huh? What? Isn't that what dredging is? Me thinks a good tip for Jonathan is to season BOTH the batter and the fish! BTW, a good trick about making your coating of seasoned batter adhere to the fish is to let the battered fish rest in the frig for 20 minutes, and then cook it. Works for me for most fish, especially catfish! Happy Cooking!

Make a seasoned flour mixture then mix it in the beer batter

Another tip is to have a thermometer to measure the oil temperature. It should be hot enough so that the batter doesn’t stick or absorb oil. A good temperature is 350 F.

I am going to counter the oyster haters here and say I am a proud raw oyster fan. I also love your cooking. Truck campers have pretty limited Space and making the meals you do is talent and inspiring. Love your dog but don’t wonder where she is - that’s your business. Unless you are hiding your location I didn’t hear where you were but I am sure I could figure it out. You have an entertaining blend of adventure, cooking, real life and positive attitude. Thanks for making these.

Yep, that mug has heard its last "Whooo!" I love the Oregon coast so much. Used to sit in a refrigerator box in the family backyard when it rained to listen to the torrent on the cardboard.
Great vid Jonathan 💕🤙 fish tacos looked good. Make sure oil HOT next time and shouldn't stick or not as much. I usually use a spatula if frying in shallow oil too. Also make batter thick. Can dredge then batter then back to seasoned flour for extra thick batter or you can make batter kind of thick n lumpy and itll clump up a lot like restaurants do. But the more batter the more greasy it gets. Stay dry!

PS- RIP "Mugsy" ☕ I pray you find a suitable replacement companion.....I mean mug 😆
Tip. You can fry in the cast iron, with minimal oil but the temp has to be 350 plus degrees. Enoy the videos keep em coming.
Did a road trip with friends last week, so cal to Washington state. Actually enjoyed the rain because I live in Las Vegas. Need to go back and spend more time in the area. I love it there! 😂❤😂❤
I really ENJOY your videos
I love the sound of rain inside a camper, so relaxing. Also listening to you cut veggies with a sharp knife is oddly satisfying. 🤣🌧️🥒

I miss living in a house with a tin roof over a porch. Setting on the porch and listening to the rain is something special.

If you ever go to New Orleans you need to try ACME oyster house and there char grilled oysters are amazing
I love the coastal videos. Really enjoyed this one. Living in New Mexico we get little rain and are far away from the coast. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Yea, cook fish in that small space so you can smell it for the next week!
Lemon and hot sauce oyster shots are the best way to do it 👌🏻
something about camping in the rain, in the safe and comfort of your camper, sure appeals a lot to me!
if you ever get to the east coast, cape may salts are delicious, as are the ones for chespeake bay.
Rain 🌧️🌧️❤ Fish Tacos 🌮🌮 the best Great Video

Oregon is wonderful
If you flour your fish then dip into batter it doesn't stick. Try it next time.
I'm from Virginia but have always found the Pacific Northwest to be so cozy, chill and exotic at the same time.
No puppy
Truly rainy cozy! Loved it❤
Hi from Lafayette, Louisiana. Tabasco buddy. Only real hot sauce from Louisiana.
Cool video , the ocean looks so relaxing.
‘‘Twas a very hungry man who first ate an oyster.” They look DISGUSTING! 😆
Been watching a long time now just wanted say the camper and truck are so awesome for you! Heat!! and the pooch! The pooch is a great addition! Keep up the cooking! Happy for you!

One best video yeti! That’s what great about campers.. when raining!!
so glad you checked the lighthouse in the morning. Despite the rain, it was beautiful.Worth an entire video. Very sorry for the foul weather, but, as you said, it’s the Pacific Northwest.
Beautiful!
Rip legendary coffee mug...
Have a great week
I always learn something about the NW watching your channel. Tx :)
Very nice video,, despite not going the way you like 😊
Me and my family took a RV trip, we visited almost every lighthouse in Oregon in 2004.
Beautiful lighthouse! I have so many memories as a boy visiting and camping the oregon coast when the weather was less than perfect that now I think I prefer when its rainy and not crowded. Great video, sorry again about your mug 😶🌫🌧☔🐟
If you flour the fish then put it in batter it will stick to the fish better. ❤
Miss the pooch, of course!
Love how you made the slaw and sauce without vinegar and mayo definitely going to try it meself👍
Great video missed seeing your puppy but it was great seeing you I also love oysters 🦪 and those looked delicious great job great camping till next time
great video Pal, I really enjoyed it ✌👍
For what it's worth, in my opinion, I just think the oil wasn't hot enough.. Also, I always coat the meat in flour before dipping into any batter, same with rings!

Ohhhhh. man. What a cool mug
Love that area. It’s my go to spot mainly for crabbing.
Really enjoyed everything about this video. The Calm Rain, Fresh Seafood, A little Veggie Chopping & more Cooking,The Scenery, The Lookout Point, The Lighthouse Light topped it all off PERFECTLY. Of course, missed your sidekick Pup 🐶 but 24 hours of rain 🌧 and both of you would have been seeing green madness 😂❤😂😂😂 so next passing on that togetherness was a wiser choice. Two thumbs-up 👍👍.
I use my YETI’s exclusively for cold fluids and ice, great on sweltering days.
Next time you fry fish, try lightly coating the fillets in flower before dipping them in the batter. Should help it from flaking off. Plus, like you said, more oil, and make sure to have it up to temp before placing the fish in to cook. Just a helpful tip from a former fry cook back in the day.
Cocktail sauce with horseradish is the way to eat them, not Tabasco. What can you expect from the west coast ?
Jonathan, for a fish taco topping Southwest style. You'll like the tang! Add more chiles as desired. Some jalapeño maybe. Pico de gallo Pico de gallo, also called salsa fresca, salsa bandera, and salsa cruda, is a type of salsa commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is traditionally made from chopped tomato, onion, and serrano peppers, with salt, lime juice, and cilantro. Pico de gallo can be used in much the same way as Mexican liquid salsas.
FYI-Oysters of that size sell over here in the East Coast (Newport, Rhode Island) for example l ) for at least $3.50 each! They are farmed, right out of a salt and fresh water commercial pond, located right around the corner from the restaurant's front door, and they were fantastic. I was informed that we were enjoying pre-season prices! After Memorial Day, the prices more than double, and they limit the consumption per person, so everybody can enjoy them.
Johnathan, I love to watch you cook! You should have become a chef! Everything you make looks so good! Nice video, love your videos!❤
That is one good rain.send some our way,here in Alberta we need rain!!!

Nice looking fish tacos! You should get one of those contact-less thermometers to measure your coffee, cooking oil, ... and just add a little cold water when coffee is too hot, do it at 3/4 cup full, then you can add some more hot if needed, or keep some hot coffee in reserve to add in when wanted...
Spectacular tacos! 🌮❤🎉
Despite the rain 🌧️ the beach is still amazing and the sounds are so great ~ your camping spot ended up being super nice ~ sorry bout the mug ~ bummer ~ make the best of it And ya betta get home to that puppy waiting for you ( Kaia ) 🐶😃
North of depot Bay there are a few overlooks that have no no overnight parking signs. I didn't stay long though. 6 hrs . To nervous to stay longer. Lol
I actually thought your second camping spot was nicer than the muddy ocean. 😉 I hope you find someone to make you a new mug. I would if I knew how.
Love fresh raw oysters oh yea!!
I got the stuff to make fish tacos a few days ago, Gotta make them tonight for sure. Thanks for he motivation John! 🐟🐠

Rain on the Oregon coast ? Who thought ? Try the southern California coast.
It upset me that the mug fell and broke last video. It’s like loosing a longtime friend. I think it’s okay to spend some time in mourning and not replace that mug right away. When the time is right, a new mug will enter your life.
Did you drive off at one point with your steps down? I hope someone makes you a mug with beautiful trees...and maybe a crab. Thanks, Jonathan.
Good video! Side note… your driver side camper brake light is out! Saw it towards the end of the video
OMG I truly Love the Oregon coast it's beautiful. . Wen we was there almost 30 yrs ago it was raining and cold but we went to Depoe bay stayed at a hotel on a cliff. Guess u didn't bring the puppy. My 2 yr old granddaughter said icky at you eating them oysters. 😂
I really enjoy your videos and can’t wait to see the pup again. Thanks for the awesome views!
Whooo!
What happened to your patented " WOOO ! " After your first drink of coffee ? Sure do miss that Jonathanism.
Nice to see you back on the road. But hey, where's the pup? The fish tacos looked great . I look forward to the next video. Stay safe
Taco and Beer! :)
In Maryland raining here all weekend
Miss the puppy
next time use butterit always works ,with medium heat.
Dredge the fish in flour before dunking I'm batter and definitely use more oil man 🤙

Its actually a pretty big misconception that Oregon is always rainy. We tend to have spot on seasons, for the most part. Mr Yentch here just knows the YT algorithm and choses to camp on rainy days, because theres a niche for it.
Missed the puppy
You forgot to put the ladder up 😩😩😭😭😭
Love me some fresh oysters. Yum.

Nice video. Where’s your dog? If home that’s good since it’s been raining so much. Can’t wait until the next video. Take care
Love the SpongeBob reference
You gotta make your way to Ensenada.
My fav & only hot sauce is Texas Pete❣️.
At 17:24 on the video, are you driving off with your trailer's back steps still extended to the ground?? I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Sad about your coffee mug!
