he sharpened the knife over the fish. wat do u think happens when you sharpen a knife with a file?

@nickinooninum

Actually that's a honing steel, meant for merely smoothing a rough edge, not sharpening. He was also holding it a bit behind the fish, not over it. One of the camera angles briefly makes it look like he was over it, but you can clearly see in the first shot that he isn't.

[nickinooninum]

@MrFragManiac honing stick? maybe. but watch the clip at 0:47 and repeat your camera angle claims.

@nickinooninum

LOL, Honing STEEL, not "stick". If you knew about knives and sharpening them you'd know that is not a sharpener. It's just to smooth an already sharpened edge. It's also kinda odd you'd lecture on how to use one, esp Ramsay, when you don't even know what it is.

I've watched that episode twice. The cam angle can make something appear to be somewhere it isn't, not that it matters that much being as it's merely a honing steel and he's doing it before even scaling the fish.

I love how he's like any questions?

"Sure Gordon, where can I hire a seafood chef and disguise him as myself in the next 15 minutes?" LOL

[daeGamer]

@nickinooninum its called a steel. its not used for sharpening its used for balancing the blade.

I bump idiots that troll without backing up their argument with facts, or at least SOME attempt to offer any.

"But. If you do watch this episode. Gordon did say its a King Salmon."

Well I thought I'd recalled that he did, and started to review it to check, but didn't watch the whole episode after finding info in my Googling that said nothing of Kings having black gill spots, yet a couple sites I found verified Atlantic salmon do. That's good enough for me.

It could be the network was too cheap to pony up for 4 King Salmons and told him to try and pawn off Atlantics for Kings.

OMG, I'm going to have to go through this comment board and start kicking some of the loonies off if this keeps up. Clearly you know nothing of cooking a fish, nor have you watched this whole video it appears.

Whether you eat the skin or not, and many do, it's a vital part of the cooking process. As he explains at the end of the video, 95% on the skin, then sear on the other side. The skin keeps it from dying out, gives it a nice crispy look and keeps it warm and moist when served.

@losttribe Fish skin is one of the tastiest parts of a fish. It contains the most flavor. I personally always cook fish with the skin still on.
