from Chef's Day Off · host Marcus D Najera

Season two of Chef’s Day Off kicks off with a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood proteins in home cooking: fish.

From salmon skin and rock cod to whole fish on the grill and why stuffing a fish is mostly for Instagram, this episode is about stripping away fear, wasting less, and letting great ingredients speak for themselves. Plus, Chef Dolan shares hard-earned lessons, strong opinions, and stories that explain why he literally wrote the book on fish.
