1:06
bubba is dicing up a small bell pepper
1:10
three green onions a clove of garlic and
1:12
about a teaspoon of fresh parsley and
1:15
we're going to saute those off in a
1:16
little bit of butter
1:18
this is one of the fish that is in our
1:20
area
1:21
yes it's a foundation it's a flounder
1:23
it's very good
1:24
very good and it just it stuffs real
1:27
real
1:28
well yes it does and another thing i
1:30
like about it it doesn't have a real
1:32
fishy flavor no it's a very real mild
1:35
white fish white fish all right so bubba
1:38
we got about a tablespoon and a half
1:40
of uh butter melt in here okay
1:43
if you just throw the peppers and the
1:45
onions i'm gonna get
1:46
our crab mixture together and in this
1:49
bowl
1:49
i'm gonna mix one egg an eighth of a
1:52
teaspoon of
1:54
cayenne pepper okay about an
1:57
eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder
2:00
three tablespoons of heavy cream
2:04
this has got some of our favorite food
2:06
in it don't it it sure
2:08
does heavy cream mayonnaise
2:11
mustard and i'm gonna use about a
2:14
tablespoon
2:15
and a half of mustard a little bit of
2:18
lemon juice
2:19
a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise it
2:22
kind of acts as a
2:24
as a wonderful binder
2:27
for these crab cakes and the eggs help
2:31
too
2:32
the eggs help so i'm just getting all
2:35
these wet ingredients mixed together
2:38
alrighty bubba you got you got our
2:40
garlic in i see
2:41
and you're done chopping up our parsley
2:45
so i'm gonna toss that in okay
2:49
and we've got a few saltine crackers
2:52
now i don't like much filling in my crab
2:55
cake
2:56
so i'm going to use very very little
3:00
and this is going to taste the crab meat
3:03
and see
3:04
i like to see it i like to see it and
3:06
taste it
3:07
absolutely and we're not gonna overcook
3:10
this
3:11
we don't want them all mushy so i'm
3:13
gonna just toss
3:15
that in our vegetables that we sauteed
3:18
off
3:18
mix this up if you would bubba just
3:21
throw that in the sink
3:22
please all right and then we're going to
3:25
put in the last ingredient is our crab
3:28
meat
3:29
and we're going to use a half a pound of
3:31
cloth and a half a pound of lump
3:34
right you know the lump is the creme de
3:36
crim of the crab
3:38
i'm gonna just drain the liquid off of
3:41
our crab
3:42
okay because we don't want this like
3:45
watery all right personally i think the
3:48
flavor is delicious
3:49
in the claw meat in the claw me oh yes
3:52
pour that in
3:54
you want the whole bag just pour it
3:55
right in
3:56
[Music]
3:58
we use just enough of them to find it
4:00
together
4:01
not a lot of bread all right now bubba
4:03
i'm just gonna put just a little bit
4:07
of salt and pepper uh-huh to taste yeah
4:10
it's not gonna take a bunch
4:12
that's all it is to it y'all so i'm
4:15
gonna get our flounder fillets out
4:17
okay all right so you want to show
4:20
everybody
4:21
how we get our fish ready to stop
4:25
before you get started let me just
4:28
season these up okay a little bit with a
4:31
little salt and pepper
4:33
mm-hmm you know fish is one of those
4:35
things that you got to season it
4:38
these are nice eight to ten ounce
4:40
fillets yes the this is a
4:42
small flounder
4:45
all right bubba show everybody how we
4:48
make the little pocket you can see
4:50
there's a little
4:51
rib right here and i take my finger and
4:53
just run it down through here
4:55
and kind of get it open a little bit and
4:57
then i just gently
4:59
take a good sharp knife and start
5:02
filleting it back
5:03
so you don't get the skin in it
5:06
now you know that's far enough and then
5:09
since i'm right-handed i flip it around
5:12
yeah and start from the tail end
5:16
and see there's our pocket that looks
5:18
great
5:19
okay this one okay and i'll go ahead now
