You remember the Sashimi story?
And?
About those who scream "Make Sashimi out of me!" and nothing else..
Don't touch me, don't cook me
Yes
The same kind of fish - with the same freshness -
Can also scream something else - and you need to tell the difference
Eyal leave me, leave me
They always say this...
But what I understand from this..
Let's move on..
What they're really saying is - "Make me into a salted fish"
Salted fish..
Imagine to yourself - I take you, like you are...with all your memories and everything -
You never get tired ah?
- and I bake you.
Bake me?
Yes, but but I imprison you
With salt...
imprison all your memories, inside your body.
Everytime we finish filiming one of these episodes I wake up in the middle of the night full of sweat -
and I don't know why...
OK - salted fish
Pour salt
Pour salt.
You always cook - what you're cooking, in it's natural habitat.
OK
Let's say I was cooking you, I'd be cooking you in "Script sauce".
You're messed up - you know that right?
No, its your salt
No no no, Let's stop for a moment.
And if you was cooking you ..?
In "Illusions sauce"
In "Illusions sauce"?
So the fish swam in the ocean..
That happens to fish.
Yes
He..Breathed through his gills...water came in.
He ate from the ocean, his stomach is filled with ocean
Cooking the fish in salt,
Takes the sum of his whole life in the ocean - that are imprisoned in him - because he's closed.
What fish is this?
Farida
Farida
She's closed -
OK
her stomach is closed
You don't clean it?
No
You don't clean it - you stew her with everything she has - everything she's picked up
Its a risk, because you don't know what she's swallowed -
Yes
- what's inside her
Everything she has inside, will evaporate itself
Now look what we do
We lay her down in salt
OK
Cover her with salt
Cover her
I'm not going to cover her fully, and this is why -
The salt is heated from the base of the oven that's burning
The salt is heated from the roof of the oven that's also burning.
Now, the heat penetrates the salt,
penetrates up to the skin.
The skin is covered in scales
Oh, you didn't remove the scales?
I didn't remove anything!
A fish from straight from the ocean
Straight from the ocean - which means
Stew the fish, in it's own juices.
It expresses love for everything this fish is.
Can't it be poisonous?
It can be horrible, if it's horrible...
Like everyhing..yeah..
But if it comes out marvelous...Its the most marvelous
Exactly
So you're saying its either marvelous or horrible..
The heat got all the way here.
Yes
This area is now burning hot, steam is gathering up under the skin
Yes
Steam aims to spread around
Yes
They will always spread out rather than spread inwards.
Yes
Now, the steam comes back to the salt
Yes
They enter the salt, and the salt is sealed,
because we will put some water on it.
How long is this story?
The salt is sealed, the fumes have nowhere to go...
Yes
They go back into the fish
Yes
But by now, the fumes have collected some salt in them
This is a precise saltiness,
This saltiness... humans can never succeed in getting
I understand
Only salt fumes -
OK I get it, I understand - salt fumes
- only fumes can be this precise
Wow Wow
Would you like to do it?
All of the parts must be covered
Now notice this part is thin and needs less salt
Yeah
And this is the thick part
Here you can see him peeking, he can't peek
Its pretty cool, because it can be anything under there
You keep tightening it, you're making a nice castle.
Yeah
I'm coming with some water, make it a bit wet.
That's enough
OK
Now keep sealing it, the final seal
I had a caliper tool earlier
Here
It doesn't help me now..
Look
This is 2 and a half centimeter
And
You can fit 2 fingers in there.
For every 2.5 centimeters in the thickest part of the fish -
the connection between the head and the body
10 minutes of the strongest heat in the oven
Don't you dare tell me that we're taking the fish out now
to measure it
We're taking it out to measure
I can't believe this is happening....
For once in our lives we'll do it precisely right.
I'm not covering it again
4.2
10 minutes for every 2.5 centimeters
Yes
And you had 4.2, so its around...
17 minutes
Yes
More or less
We can't be off by too much so I hope you're accurate.
Around 17 minutes, plus 10 minutes for salt -
so around 27 minutes.
27 minutes...That's it
27 minutes people, don't argue with me about numbers...
I'm good with numbers!
Just kidding, I'm not good with numbers,
but I usually have good gut feelings
Not but if you're not good this time, the fish will stink,
it will be over cooked.
If I'm not good the fish will smell?! I'm not good?
If you don't calculate it..
Me? you calculate it...
It happens in life when we don't calculate correctly
Excuse me...
You're the guy from "Master chef" - you do it
So let me tell you something
Well...
If you're wrong this time...You'll...
I'm not wrong, you're wrong.
If you do it correctly, -
27 Minutes, don't worry about it
- it will have an ocean smell...
27 Minutes, Excatly
If it's over the time -
Exactly...
On max heat?
The liver will start to fill up..
I know, I get it - It will blow up, it'll be horrible
Horrible?
I can't express the sequence of events that will happen that will make you stay away from fish forever
27 Minutes..
27 Minutes
Do you have anything to say to him before he goes in?
Bye
Have you ever done that?
Many times
OK - 27 minutes in the oven...what now?
The only thing you can do with this time...
Yes
Is to take a towel
Yes
And fold it neatly...
Why fold it neatly?
Maybe the fish will come out nice you know..if we folded it neatly..
Opa!
So what did we have here...
Do you want the cutting board?
No, I want the axe
You see this crack..
Ready
Its blazing hot
You don't want the cutting board?
I don't want anything
How is it?
Pleasant..
What are you doing?
I'm taking apart the skin from the meat.
It's a good thing we left the scales, it wouldn't have separated without them.
Wow
Here's the fish..
Separate this..
Well, this is what you call a miracle..what just happened here..
Salt
No salt..
Salt..
No salt, the salt is inside - leave that..
Come
Lemon
No lemons! lemon will cook it
I'll take the opposite side
Came out nice ah?
This is yours..
No this one is mine
No this is yours, with the tail
Amazing..thanks
No its really good,
really good
