Is it better to live life spontaneously or planned? Featuring a spontaneous passion fruit french toast. I impulse purchased some passion fruit and had some milk bread proofing overnight. Then it’s all a pantry cleanout— I didn’t have dairy milk so coconut milk worked in a pinch. PB stuffed inspired by Hong Kong style french toast topped with coconut, honey, peanuts, and cilantro. Fully credit the voiceover inspiration to @bringbackboredom™ (whom I highly recommend for more thoughtful dialogue) #frenchtoast #cooking #baking #storytelling

Tinned Fish Talk 🎣 Ekone & Crown Prince Smoked Oysters 8.7/10 ⭐ Ekone Original Smoked Oysters Taste 9️⃣ I find the amount of smoke to be perfectly balanced with a deeply savory aroma that doesn’t erase the oyster taste. No fishy odor upon opening, and not as briny as fresh oysters. Texture 8️⃣ Ekone oysters are more than twice the size of the Crown Prince. The tin is packed to the brim with oysters, with very little oil. The oysters are meaty, almost like a cooked sausage texture with a pleasant chew that isn’t mushy or rubbery. Price 9️⃣ At $13 this is over three times the price of Crown Prince but I would buy this again. On a completely different level in both flavor and texture, not comparable. Full disclosure I purchased this myself, but Ekone happened to gift this a week later. Ekone provided a discount code “Mei15” on all Ekone products at Taylor Shellfish Farms. I do not make any commission nor am I paid for this. 5.7/10 ⭐ Crown Prince Smoked Oysters Taste 5️⃣ These were a little one-note with mild smoke and were underwhelming. It’s not particularly noteworthy in terms of both smoke and oyster flavor. I did find this much more fishy in odor and taste compared to Ekone. Texture 4️⃣ I didn’t like the texture of these oysters much (it’s personal preference). The oysters are about the size of nickels. They’re softer and some had a slightly grainy texture almost like well done liver. I imagine these would be really delicious blended into a dip. Price 8️⃣ At $3.50 this is relatively affordable and a great option for anyone that wants to try tinned oysters without significant investment. Available in most Trader Joe’s locations and many grocery stores. #tinnedfish #cannedfish #oysters #smokedoysters #tinnedfishtok

Tinned Fish Talk 🎣 Seed to Surf Mushroom Snow Crab & Celery Root Smoked Whitefish Mushroom Snow Crab 7.6/10 ⭐ Taste 8️⃣ I quite enjoyed the briny flavor of the seaweed and hint of sweetness from the enoki mushroom. The balance of sweetness and brine is reminiscent of crab. Texture 6️⃣ The enoki mushrooms flake a bit like the muscle fibers in crab and are quite soft. I’m conflicted because they are also hollow, meaning they hold a ton of oil. I don’t prefer that, but this is subjective at the end of the day. Price 9️⃣ At $10-12 this tin is cheaper than crab, and so unique I have nothing else to compare it to. From my perspective, the price is justified by opening up this experience to people in my life who may not be able to consume seafood. Celery Root Smoked Whitefish 8.0/10 ⭐ Taste 7️⃣ I was expecting the vegetal celery-ish freshness of celery root, but was surprised by a deeply savory and mildly sweet flavor. It has umami and almost sea-like flavor of seaweed without any fishiness at all. Wouldn’t associate it with smoked whitefish if it wasn’t on the label, but it’s delicious nonetheless. Texture 8️⃣ There’s absolutely no meat in this, but I would describe the texture as meaty. Meaning it’s firm, a tad springy and substantial. I imagine it would be satisfying in place of whitefish on a bagel or in a salad, maybe even rolled in kimbap. Price 9️⃣ Again, quite a unique product prepared in a method nobody else is applying to vegetables. What’s interesting is the celery root is so different from the mushroom you can absolutely justify trying both. #plantbased #tinnedfish #seedtosurf #veganseafood #tinnedfishtok

Tinned Fish Talk 🎣 Les Mouettes d’Arvor Mackerel in Mustard & Creme Fraiche 5.3/10 ⭐ The most ambiguous tin Taste 4️⃣ The sauce is distinctively tangy, almost sour from the creme fraiche and white wine but also subtly sweet and earthy. The mustard flavor isn’t spicy or overpowering, but it is noticeable. The mackerel itself is mild, neutral, perfectly seasoned. I’m still not sure if I outright dislike it since I did eat the whole tin. The smell is what confused me the most. It’s a puzzling combination of that earthy-musky smell from wet asphalt and a sour-milky smell like yogurt or whey. Not exactly an appetizing scent, but it definitely egged on my curiosity. Texture 7️⃣ The sauce is viscous when heated but thinner out of the can and very creamy, a little too rich for my preference. The mackerel is firm and flaky, without bones or scales. I preferred this heated instead of at room temperature. Serve with something that goes with the large amount of sauce, perhaps some lentils, potatoes, or rice. Price 5️⃣ The reputation of this tin feels like a bit of a gamble so $9 seems to fall appropriately in the middle of mackerel prices. My curiosity was sated, but I don’t believe the price to value ratio is going to be exceedingly high given its inconsistent track record. This was purchased from Rainbow Tomatoes Garden. Please know RTG did not pay me to post this. My best incentive is to ensure my recommendations are trustworthy and RTG not only has the largest variety but also truly exceptional service. #mackerel #tinnedfish #cannedfish

Pickle Haters ft. Roasted Trout and Sauerkraut The pickle/sauerkraut I’m using here can be found in most Chinese supermarkets, look for pickled mustard greens. The trout was cooked at 400F for 15 minutes. #pickles #fish #trout #chinesecooking #cooking

Tinned Fish Talk 🎣 La Curiosa Cod Paté with Confit Apple I had this sitting in my drafts for some time and decided it shouldn’t go to waste. About 50% of videos I film don’t see the daylight and even more things I eat don’t get filmed. Also testing removing ratings, let me know your thoughts. Texture 🐟 This pate spreads easily with a light texture and fine flakes of fish. Not quite as creamy as some others I have tried, perhaps more watery or mushy due to the lean cod. I personally enjoyed the texture and the fact it didn’t leave my mouth feeling greasy. Taste 🐟 Very unique and very balanced. Atlantic cod is slightly sweet but quite mild on its own so the addition of apple is a welcome complement. It’s mild, sweet, subtly savory but not fishy. For the record I didn’t like the Jose Gourmet mackerel or tuna pates but many people do, so please always defer to your own preferences. Price 🐟 I purchased this up for $10 in person but I believe you can also find it online in the US at Despana and Feedapp. It retails for €‎6.5 on the La Curiosa website. I’m not compensated to talk about this nor do I represent the brand, all opinions are my own. I simply wish more people are open minded about pates and rillettes 🙂 #tinnedfish #cannedfish #tinnedfishtok #pate #lacuriosa
