Elbow greaseβ¦after each grilling sessionhey, how do you keep the grill so clean ??





The grill on my Weber Smokey Joe would probably scare many of you. Not sure how many years old the current one is, but I NEVER clean it. Just scrape it and let the heat keep it sterilized.Elbow greaseβ¦after each grilling session
But you don't take pictures of it to publish on a more than occasional basis. I'm guessing it looks like mine.The grill on my Weber Smokey Joe would probably scare many of you. Not sure how many years old the current one is, but I NEVER clean it. Just scrape it and let the heat keep it sterilized.
It has less to do about pictures and more about wife's wishes...and this grill is gas. My grill in WA is a Kamado Joe, only lump hardwood...and it does not look like this.But you don't take pictures of it to publish on a more than occasional basis. I'm guessing it looks like mine.


Pride of the West batter not too thick...panco crumbs...deep fry in grapeseed oil...Advice needed...
What I'm not eating, and would like to, is albacore fish n chips. My MIL who lives with us (sweet lady, not the nightmare it sounds) also loves fish n chips.
Ideally I'd get the secret recipe used at the Bowpicker in Astoria. Anyone who has stood in line there knows what im talking about.
Since that's not an option, I'm all ears as to what y'all here do for FnC. Deep fryer? Cast iron? Airfryer? Oil? Temp? Batter/breading/panko? Etc .......
Any help much appreciated as this would be a great way to utilize the vacuum sealed tuna I was too lazy to can.
Fresh hake, pollack and atlantic cod are not bad...I grew up catching and eating them...I've always thought of English cooking as not very good, as in invariably over-cooked. But that guy at Dane is something else. I might just go to NYC and order fish and chips there. I'm not fond that he uses hake. Maybe he learned how to do it so good due to using scrap fish. Just imagine how it would turn out if he used really good fish to begin with: Pacific cod, lingcod, halibut, albacore - yum!
Haddock is the best for fish and chips. Grew up in the west coast of Scotland and that was the only fish fried then. Times have changed and now other fish are used but haddock is just amazing. Finnan haddies and Arbroath smokies as how smoked haddock, just unreal to flavor and in soups. Cullen skink is the Scotβs equivalent to clam chowder. Cream, spuds and smoked haddock. It is wonderful.Fresh hake, pollack and atlantic cod are not bad...I grew up catching and eating them...
Happy Birthday Mrs. Brute....biscuits and gravy are the shit to be sure.
Looking forward to seeing the dinner pics...
