One contestant tonight using dry fish to make a brunch dish. He did not advance.



Another contestant served half the cow.

Nice piece of salmon with 2 nice fried duck eggs is my fave snack...

I like it best in the morning when i wake up

Fish and eggs make a man feel strong.

Aint nothing like it...

They HEART to cook fish on this show

One would starve to death with that plate of food.

Yeah, looks like burnt fish and baby food. I thought presentation was supposed to be part of those competitions.

Love to catch and eat Kokanee Salmon! But hate to spend a lot of money on a dish that looks like a Tapas for one.

If that's trending right now, cooking without stove and oven, then it's true

What are your thoughts on crab & rabbit, NFB?
They are coming ...

I don't like crab and I never had rabbit.

lobster and crawfish?

I don't like those. Crab, lobster and crawfish you work a lot for little reward.They cost ton $. Not my liking.

Rabbit. If I get that at a restaurant, I send it back. That's an appetizer, not a meal. How much is a rabbit dish? $40?







This Giant Crab!! ($100?)



made into this. Not worth the $!

Lobster, cockroach of the sea. Over rated and over priced.

Yes!!

That type of crab is quite cheap in the UK, it is our local. Probably £20-25 in a normal restaurant?

I similarly, find lobster quite bland - all the flavour is in the sauce that goes with it ...
