    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
