today we're grilling up some fish tacos
at the pit
and it's real easy to do all right for
the fish
we're going to be using some fresh mako
shark from the fishing tournaments just
offshore
all right now for this recipe you're
going to need some granulated garlic
here we've got some cumin we've got some
mustard
here we've got some mayonnaise we've got
some salt
we've got some corn tortillas we got
some lemons
cilantro you know all good taco stuff
some cabbage brown sugar we got some
marmalade some sauces we've got some
pico de gallo
uh yeah fresh sour cream all right let's
put this together now the first thing we
want to do
is make a cure right and
for the cure we're going to use some
brown sugar of course
and some salt right that's typical of
any cure
oh yeah mix it up good with some
granulated garlic
and we got ourselves a cure
now the idea with the cure is
you want to at least do it for three
four hours
right before smoking up this shark or
even overnight
either or you rub it on nice
just like that oh yeah good now if
you've never had uh
who fish tacos before you give
definitely gotta check it out right
and it even gets better when you get
your hands on some mako shark here
all right now we're gonna throw it in
one of those ziploc
bags simple enough
and get all that brown sugar and salt
garlic in there right
[Music]
and we're gonna let it sit like i said
at least
three or four hours now there's no way
all that flavor
will penetrate that entire piece of meat
it just doesn't happen
but the surface flavor will be awesome
now
for this recipe we also want to make a
sauce
a simple sauce right so we're using some
mayonnaise
right about a half a cup we got some
mustard
we're using a brown mustard about a
quarter cup right there and here we've
got some cumin
simple enough about a quarter teaspoon
and you're gonna need
some lemon juice right use a fresh lemon
if you got it
and a couple tablespoons of work
all right oh man this is going to be
good i'm telling you
all right now
fish tacos among the best tacos you can
get
anybody who's into tacos knows exactly
what i'm saying right
but we're gonna kick this up a bit and
we're gonna
smoke our fish low and slow bring on
some
great flavor you can't get it to
any uh regular old taco hill right you
know what i'm saying
all right we have cured this now
for at least four hours right and what
we're gonna do is
wash off the cure because it's got salt
on it
it's got sugar right we're gonna rinse
it
get it out of there we're going to apply
a new rug
now look at that fish oh if you've never
had
mako shark before you definitely got to
check it out
some good eating right now i happen to
have
the secret ingredient i've got some rub
and choose your favorite fish rub
there's a lot of them out there
right i use this a good barbecue rub
[Music]
and we're going to apply it fairly
thick we're going to get a lot of flavor
from this
oh man ceviche maybe he's ready to eat
maybe huh all right now we're going to
um
put it on our kettle here we're going to
do indirect
grilling right that allows us to smoke
it we don't want to be over direct
flames
we'll have a kettle temperature of about
225 to 250 degrees
it's going to take a while all right now
we've been smoking this for at least two
maybe
an hour more or less and we're going to
make up a marmalade sauce
and it's just as i said it's marmalade
and use some beer right
just to break it down a little bit now
if you're
not into the corona thing all right you
can just use water
some apple juice whatever right
and we're just going to heat it up
[Music]
and only take a few minutes simple
enough
[Music]
all right the beer marmalade
it's actually an orange marmalade with
some beer in it
it's done now we're just gonna paint
some on
our shark now of course uh
if you don't have ready access to shark
you could use your favorite white meat
[Music]
fish
enough whatever you've got available
locally will work
[Music]
and we'll just keep brushing on this
marmalade beer sauce right here
oh yeah you kidding me
oh boy
[Music]
not long ago a happy grill in amongst
the happy trees
all right take a look what's going on
here
now we've been uh smoking this fish uh
just under two hours more or less right
but uh we're often asked well how long
does it take to
do barbecue it's all relative
we're looking for an internal
temperature of about 135 degrees
fahrenheit
that's what you're at all right now
we're going to need
some shredded cabbage for this recipe
and if you know tacos
you gotta have that cabbage right all
right
now take a look at that
let's say it's ready to pull it off the
smoker
oh man lord have mercy we'll let it set
a little bit
and now we're going to shred it
so we'll pull off the skin of course the
skin is like
leather right on sharp and we'll shred
it
we'll chunk up the meat a bit
take a look at that though huh that's no
ordinary white fish
if you can get your hands on some shark
go right ahead enjoy some good eating
and i know some of you out there say oh
it's a protected species not all of them
we have an ample supply of makos off the
coast here
and this is why they have annual fishing
tournaments
shark fishing tournaments so these are
caught with minimal environmental and
social impact
right you all know about that
all right oh man
nice beautiful chunks of
sharp
jaws get nothing on us hey spielberg
pilot high don't miss a piece
oh man are you kidding me
take a look at that no need to say any
more
all right now you know all about making
tacos
we're just going to take these corn
tortillas and heat them up a little bit
bring them back to life
yeah simple
gotta make a bunch
only takes a minute and they're ready
perfect
now this is where the um pit masters get
the uh
get to make up some uh fish tacos right
so they're gonna throw a little cilantro
into the
pico de gallo and of course use a
pickled tagalog whatever your favorite
uh type salsa is of course this is fresh
fresh tomatoes fresh onion
little jalapenos you can put a little
bit of cuke in there we have some fresh
cucumber
load it up with your fish
as much as you want all right
we've got our sauce
and the sauce means a lot to these tacos
as you know so make
yourself a great sauce
we've got a little bit of hot sauce
throw on
you do it the way you want that's pit
master
privilege but this this here kind of
works
throw a little bit of shredded cabbage
on there
we don't apologize for eating in front
of you like this but we call this
pit master privilege
[Music]
all right you're just gonna have to make
up your own
and we told you it was easy to do all
right
yeah just like that
as we go maybe you can eat a half a
dozen of these
at least right when you do it yourself
