Oh man, nothing like a walk to the fish market. Where is this place? How genuine was that? You better bring a little more energy, Chris. This is for Hexclad. So, we’re What are we doing? We’re going to United Brothers, pick up some some veg. We’re getting on the train. We’re going to a story of seafood. Okay. And we’re going to make a chapina. I got to tell that TCON guy to order our beer next week. Oh, yeah. I finally talk him into buying our beer and he goes on our Instagram and he’s like, “I thought about this. What if you could eat your own shit?” And nobody would notice. Top [ __ ] would be a great I did incredible show. I tried to talk about that on stage in the mother ship. They were so upset. Yeah. No [ __ ] And then I got I got off stage and just walked right into Shane. He goes, “Give it up for Chris O’ Conor.” And the crowd’s like, “Ah.” And then Ron White stepped out and they were like, “Oh yes, thank God. Not that guy.” They said, “I’m tired of the shitty hating conversation.” Yeah, he did do his [ __ ] in his pants bit and it crushed. It’s how delicate comedy is, man. Imagine putting that on your [ __ ] car. Yeah, just a fart machine. Oh, scared that dog. Why are we going this way? We got to go to the United. Oh, you ever you notice that corgis, no matter what they breed with, come out in corgi shape? Yeah. Yeah. It’s kind of seriously the power of their their come. There’s like Rottweilers that are shaped like a dominant gene. A pit bull corgi. I watched a documentary about like the minds of cats. You can run a farm with dogs. Who wrote this documentary? A cat. Every expert they had on was just like they were just in their house doing cat tricks. They can’t just let cats be cats, you know? It’s like a cat’s great, but they’re not dogs. You know, with a dog, you can be like, “Don’t do that.” And they’ll be like, “Ah, my bad.” Cats don’t know what’s going on. No. Fantastic. Unbelievable. Ginger and lemon cinnamon. That’s so good. Where is it? Hot apple tea. Wow. Holy [ __ ] What do you do with this now? How neat is this town? When I’m by myself and Chris isn’t next to me, I feel like an Instagram thought. I should start doing shirtless things, you know? I should start being that comic, you know? Show my gym routine in real tight clothes. I cooked so much this week. Should we cancel it? We should cancel it. Be easy. Last time my girl was on the train, it’s like two days ago. She walks in, some dude’s ass nude washing himself. Yeah. Like [ __ ] out just wiping all of his crevices. Yeah. And then she gets off to go to the next one. The door’s closed and she was late for work. This area sucks. Yeah, just two stops, you know. It’s all industrial. Well, they have a subway. It’s nice. It’s weirder when you’re walking around like a downtown like Cincinnati or [ __ ] It’s like you walk around these places and it’s just like where where is everyone? What are they doing? Oh, a story of seafood. Yeah, this is awesome. There’s monk. There’s monk. Should I get a pound of monk fish? They cut the head off. You should see how ugly this [ __ ] thing is. Okay. Yeah. Just right here. Too big for you. No mixing shrimp, by the way. Why? It’s just what they say. Oh. Oh. I was like, you get sick. Never mix the shrimp. You supposed to get any other types of fish or something? Oh, salmon. Thank you, doll. You’re welcome. Thank you so much. You too. You too. Thank you. Look at this. Welcome back. This is a Chapino edition sponsored by Hexclad. They rang our doorbell a second time. Yeah. Yeah. First we did turf, now we’re going surf. Damn. You had to lock the load this whole time. I just said I didn’t know what I was going to say. You come out with that gold. Came to me in a flash. Damn, dude. Yeah. I’m just excited about what’s going on. You got the upgraded stove. He finally came through. Actual fan that works. We got our place painted. He comes through. He goes, “What? Didn’t you say you wanted a new one of these? Yeah. Then I was like, “Whoa, if you want.” He goes, “Okay.” Okay. Delivered two weeks later. It’s going to cost you $6,000. Well, your rent’s going up, but that’s okay. Anyway, let’s get back to basics here. Hexclad. I use this [ __ ] every day. It’s living up to the hype. Not a scratch on these. Not a scratch on them. I’m using metal, too. I know. I see you ladling. Anyway, we’re doing a one pot stew. It’s called a chapino. A one pot stew. I was getting in the Chinese. You say, “Oh, we’re doing fish soup.” Turns out we’re doing panon stew. Chapino is a medally of fish stew with a tomato base and wine base. Okay. I just looked it up. I told you it originated from um immigrant Italian fisherman in San Francisco apparently. I don’t know how they got there. Hopefully a boat. Yeah. Yeah. Which way? You can’t get there by boat. Yeah, true. I guess they would whip around South America. They had a nice little that or they like instead of going west they went east got to China and were like [ __ ] no and then went kept going east till they hit San Fran. Italians going to China and going to me. No [ __ ] way. You want a heartier fleshy steaky type fish. This is a monk fish. It’s ugly as hell. So he took everything off. It’s called a poor man’s lobster. The consistency is just like lobster. I got some salmon and a pound and a half of shrimp, pound and a half of clams, pound and a half of a mix of fish. You can use halibit, cod, sea bass, snapper. You can use whatever you want. I I got to be honest, I’ve never made this one before. I’ve never made a fish stew, so I’m pretty excited. It’s pretty basic. Anybody can do it. We’re just going to use a few fresh herbs. We’re going to cook a shallot and some garlic. Then we’re going to hit it with some tomato sauce, wine, clam juice, some water. Let that stew off. We’re going to add the clams. Then we’re going to add the the seared off fish. You can bake the fish, but I want to keep all of that fish flavor in the one pot. And we got uh we’re going to use all these hexclad knives. Actually, we’re use a pairing to clean then de vain that the the [ __ ] trails off these jumbo shrimp. We’re going to use that bread. We’re going to use this for filleting the lobster and we’re use it for the for the chopping. The versatility of these knives is unbelievable. They can cut pretty much anything. Pretty much anything. Yeah. Yeah. I believe ISIS used these when they took that journalist head off. Jesus, we almost got out of it. That’s why they came to us for a bit of a rebrand. They got caught out in the wrong area. Panuan Stewan sounds like a [ __ ] Star Wars character. Panuan Kenobi. Best star fighter in the galaxy. Puan Stew. So Chris, tell them what you’re doing, baby. I’m I’m deshelling here. You start by ripping the legs off. But we want to keep these tails on, right? Yeah, keep the tails on for the look. I’m going to throw these in hole, right? This guy [ __ ] I don’t know. Some of them actually don’t have it. They might have flushed it out cuz it’s right here. Yeah. You see how little it is? Maybe he took a [ __ ] before he got killed. Oh, now we got some turds. You want a meaty fish. You want a shell a shelled fish like a muscle, a clam. I go little neck on this just cuz you want to fit a few in. Sometimes the clams are too big to have in a soup, but you can if you want. Kids fish dyes, you can [ __ ] use whatever you can afford. They do look beautiful in the fillet, doesn’t it? All this fish you’re going to put roughly 2in chunk, something that would fit on a large spoon. Shout out Gordon Ramsay. I just looked up a video. This is basically a filleted side of salmon. I haven’t done this in a while, but this is a smaller piece. Get under under the fish here as if it’s horizontally underneath the salmon. As you pull the skin like this. Beautiful. I’m going to take this monk fish, this spine. Look at this, dude. Look this [ __ ] fish up online. It looks like You ever step on a frog? [ __ ] disgusting. It does. Yeah. So, trust me, if you can get past the looks of this, I’m telling you, the flesh, it’s worth it. They’re eating good down there, wherever the hell they are. That’s a nice piece of fish. I don’t care what you say, Chris. We’re monitors, dude. It’s de vaining. Shot out hexclad for this pig, too. Like I said, 2in cubes. I’m going to cut down the middle. And again, just mouth pieces. Something that you wouldn’t mind. It’s always what bothered me about sushi. I love it. Oh god. I love a huge ass bite. This guy’s got a big butthole. I can feel it. You know, the lady in the video said you should take this out with a knife. I I think she’s a [ __ ] idiot. Wa. That’s what I say. I think you cut it open with the knife and then just pull it out with your fingers. If you were hesitant after the first TechClad episode, please trust me. I use these every day. And for how long we’ve used them, the pans are still non-stick. The knives are sharp as hell. Sharp as hell. This is fun. Just Just chopping fish. They don’t have to be perfect. That’s the whole point of a stew. It’s just a hodgepodge of flavor. Roughly three shallots. I got some big boys here, so I might uh might only use two. God damn it. You want to know if it’s sharp? Oh man. every [ __ ] time. God damn it. You get so excited. Someone was telling me that when kids get excited, you’re supposed to tell them to blow out a candle. Oh, yeah. It helps them take a deep breath. I mean, literally everything I cook, I say you have to make a flat surface, and I I tried to cut it on this like an idiot. Yep. You paid the price. I don’t know where this thing’s butthole is. Oh, these are going to bloom nicely in that stew. Oo, baby. You’re gonna see a little bouquet. I’m going to get this minced very fine. So, for the garlic bread, I’m just going to do some butter, garlic mixture, obviously, and then uh smoked paprika, some fresh parsley, and I’m going to put parm on it. Rosemary. Actually, get the parm out of there for me. Parmesano vision. Boom. Just make this translucent. Do not brown it. Make it like a medium heat. Then we’re going to add the garlic. Cook that for a couple minutes. And then we’re going to add the white wine. Cook that down. Let it reduce for like 3 to 5 minutes to about half. Then we start adding our ingredients. God, dude, we I don’t even have to use a a lighter. Oh, my eyeballs are getting wrecked. Those shallots shallots are getting to me. Why you doing that, Chrissy? These are whole pom pom pomodoros. You can just buy puree, obviously. Um, I had this in my in my cupboard. Depends on the consistency of the soup you want. I want to keep the the broth as light as possible. All right. Nice. What you’re going to want to do is uh put on your wedding dress and [ __ ] You thought I set you up, you [ __ ] I I thought you set me up with the pepper. You were like, “Grind some pepper up there.” And I took it and ground it once and it just exploded. Just a little olive oil. I’m going to drop this fish. The cook times aren’t going to matter too much because it’s going to boil on the stew itself. I just want to sear this off to get a little flavor into the pan. Maybe get some fond going. You want to use a musher? Yeah, musher is the best. Hell of a job on that shrimp, Chrissy. Yeah, that shrimp’s the shrimp’s going to be good, I think. All right, I’m going to remove this now. It’s Oh, no. Try to do two at a time. You can smell it. It’s got already got all that seafood where you would lose if you baked it. You know, all that all those juices. You can also pour the juices in if you do put it in a on a baking sheet. Shout out Hexclad that I can use this in here. Look how nice that is. It shrunk up a little bit. You see the pieces are perfect. You started at 2 in, comes down about a inch and a half. Oh yeah. Doesn’t that look great? So, see all that juice? It started off just as olive oil. So, you cooked off all that juice and it’s going to stay in that pan now instead of being wasted. I’m going to keep all of this. Okay. And I’m going to hit this with more more oil. And then we’re going to cook the shallot. And this is the start of our broth. Three regular size or two large shallot. I’m going to go a little extra cuz I love them. You got to cook this off a little bit. The garlic will burn by the time this will be done. So, you want to wait like wait till that’s translucent. Maybe 2 3 minutes. Then we’ll throw the garlic in. Give it a toss. That’s what Tommy wanted to wait for. A little translucent. Oh yeah. So, at least three cloves, but we I think we did five. I like it. Really? This is going to be a garlicky. Yeah, it’s cappuccino or what is it called? Chapino. Chapino. Chapo. Chapino. A chapen like that. You think I cut my hair too short today? It grows quick. Oh, yeah. Fast nails, fast hair. Sign of good vitamins. Fast thoughts. Fast thoughts. Crazy thoughts. Red pepper flake. Give it a nice spice. Pepper to taste. Little little pep. Oh my greased. So I drop about a cup of white. Delicious. I love when they do that on Food Network. They’ll be like, “One more splash.” And the whole crowd’s like they all start cheering like you’re going to get hammered off this soup and you [ __ ] idiots. God, that smells so [ __ ] good. Imagine how many times I cut myself cooking for Gordon Ramsay. I’d be bleeding myself squirting on the wall. How we doing? I’m going to drop the tomato. Do you have to add water anyway? Yeah, you have to add water anyway. So, yeah. Yeah. Might as well get a little extra tomato. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Just make sure you get the stuff at the bottom. Give it a shake. All that stuff matters. I thought clam juice would stink like holy hell. But it’s not that bad. It gets a bad rap, doesn’t it? Use about a tablespoon or two again to taste. We’ll throw in some fresh time. I’ll pick out later. We’re not trying to make this overly professional or throw them in there. Just toss them in. We’ll figure it out. Let it Let them be themselves. Bring that to a a heavy simmer. And then we’re going to add in our clams. This does smell amazing. I got to be honest. I’m nervous about fish and tomato sauce. You know what’s going to pull it all together for you? I’m taking a leap of faith. You know what it is? Garlic bread. Garlic bread. That’s why I put garlic bread in there for your little white trash ass. Exactly. You need something to balance it out. You knew exactly what I was going to do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Every meal is just going to have three Oreos on the side. Close to an inch thick. But you want to soak up the the broth, too. So, you don’t want too thin. letting the knife do the work. But you got to have a knife that works. You know how many pieces are we doing here? I might just have a little piece of this end right here. You can have that. Can I dip it in that all right now? Why not? Cuz it’s not ready. What about in that? You can dip in whatever you want. I knew he was just going to do it anyway. So what the [ __ ] You don’t think I’m watching tape like the last episode? your pig. M great. Delicious. I even like I like with the alcohol left in it. Even low simmer for 25 minutes. Cooking this for another 6 minutes. Let them open up and then drop that in. Throw some butter in there. You can also just use garlic powder. Melted butter first. Garlic powder. Throw it in the broiler. It’s a lot of garlic. Can’t have too much garlic. I agree. Especially for garlic bread. Now you’re just checking to see who’s open, who’s not. Checking all the boys. So now we’re going to drop the shrimp. 2 3 minutes. It’s going to be nice flavor for you, buddy. This is going to cool. This is also nice cuz I feel like those shells might have scratched up a normal pan. Look at that. You know, but that [ __ ] diamond dust coating and the laser etched. Whoa. Yeah. What are you doing? Hexagons. What are you doing? I’m just saying. What are you doing? Just saying. All right. I’m going to put some garlic butter on this piglet. I’m going to put some fresh parsley after we cook. Going to put a little cheese. Let’s get that broiler on. I like your attitude, bud. You don’t need too much. I’m going to add some cheese. Oh, what’s this guy doing? [ __ ] Now I smell like feet. What were you doing? Hitting on. I was trying to get it declumped, dude. I popped the side of it. You broke the sh of me. Blow a candle. I knocked you out. Come on, man. It’s delicious. Just wait for it. Listen to him. Oh, he’s a [ __ ] pig. I’m sampling. This is why I drink. Oh, yeah. I got four bottles down there. This is a nice one, though. No, it’s not. Pound the kibles and bits. Oh, yeah. Pull some of those clams up. The boiler’s down here on this one. No way. Yeah. This seems way too low. Yes. You think anyone’s grandma could do this? My mother would have my Dude, her tits would be rolling underneath this. Yeah, I was talking. Doesn’t fit that way. I think I should go. I guess that pan is too big. It’s too big this way. Yeah, it’s okay. Thank you, Benny. Thank you for getting me this wonderful oven that’s so convenient to use. Yeah. Can you give that a toss? You’re going to have to get you like gardening knee pads. Oh, nice. How’s it looking? The shrimp are totally pink and curled. Oh, yeah. It’s crazy. This is [ __ ] insane. Show you a quick fix for this. Scrape it. Yeah. A little secret of the trade. I haven’t made garlic bread in 20 years. This is how I used to make it for my brothers and they’d be like, “That’s the greatest dig ever.” Dude, it will be. It’s garbage. It will be. Even garlic bread and like rigeton would send them to [ __ ] just send me riotony. Did you do this? It’s like it’s boiled water. Pasta with a little salt. Pasta with salt. Unbelievable. You don’t know living at the end. Pasta with salt. Pasta with salt and then garlic bread on the side. Get out. Let me see what [ __ ] It scares me. Here, I’ll keep an eye on it. This is [ __ ] trench warfare. Sniper rifle. Can’t believe I popped the side of this cheese. What I’m going to do? Put it in ziplo. What an absolutely ridiculous. I just want to melt that cheese a little bit. Yeah, that’s not that’s good. Let me get that one at the top. It’s our first full family meal with everybody eating. Just a little salt, little pepper. Not too much. That is good. What about a little lemon? You squeeze a little lemon in there. It’s got a lot of acidity from the tomato sauce. I don’t think it needs it, but I’m going to I’ll put a wedge out there. You can taste it individually. that I mean the only thing I’m missing on this white trash garlic bread is this fresh parsley. Yeah. Yeah. This is the stuff that actually has flavor. I talk [ __ ] on parsley until I worked at a pizza shop and I had to cut bushels of parsley and the scent is it’s sickening after a while. Anything you do all day long. There’s a [ __ ] eater out there that’s like I’m enough. I’ve already tasted enough. Just imagine him literally looking like a monk fish. Professional [ __ ] eater. He’s just all tongue and lower, dude. The monk monkfish [ __ ] eater. Blow up the candle. Yeah. Like that. Love that. Make it rich. This will balance the acids, Chris. That’s nice. I’m going to stir that around. Get those two tablespoons nice and flush. Stemless under these working conditions is essential. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This Yeah. Quarter lemon. Yeah. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. See how this goes. It’s a panon stew. It looks [ __ ] delicious. Now, we’re going to take this. Look at those chunks of fish. And then we’ll grab a piece of bread. Yum. That’s [ __ ] unbelievable. Holy [ __ ] Wow. Oh, the garlic bread with the sauce. Holy [ __ ] That extra stick of butter at the end, I think. Really? It smooths it out, right? Mhm. God damn. It like rounds off the soft sauce, so it’s like very nice and warm and cozy. Now it feels fully like a winter. You think it’s going to be fishy and I think that’s what the wine and tomato sauce does so well for this. It cuts all that. It’s not. You just get a a touch of all of it. Mhm. It’s a perfect balance. I like the bits of I like the chunked fish the best. It’s a ratio of the broth and wine to the sauce itself. [ __ ] It’s so good. Shout out to Hexclad.
