I'm guessing the fried chicken wouldn't be keto, yeah?
It's kind of weird seeing a middle-class trend like Keto filter down to a gibbering slob like Scalfani and how he misinterprets it. He sees it as a cure-all but still isn't willing to put in the work.
You don't fucking drizzle that much vinegar all over your product; that's the sign of an idiot who overloaded their tastebuds with seasoning and learned Balsamic Vinegar is something real-people chefs sometimes use for dishes. All doing what the fuck he did does is just makes everything taste like vinegar, especially given that fish can easily be overwhelmed by seasoning. Then again, this is normal for Jack it seems given his tendency to flood dishes with shit like soy sauce and other fluidic mixes (Worcestershire Sauce for example) that turn things into hell when overpoured.
Just drizzing that much vinegar on it would be bad enough, but what Jack did was even worse - he dumped all that vinegar in the sous vide bag with the fish. Not only does that mean he basically pickled it, it made it look awful and black, and then he just slopped it on a big serving plate. He should've cooked it in a light marinade to complement its delicate natural flavor and color, maybe a little butter and a few herbs, then plated it with the darker sauce for contrast.
Honestly, the only marinate I'd probably use for it is an olive-oil lemon mix with fairly light seasoning given that you really don't use something heavy on fish. I wouldn't even use my go-to of yogurt marinades on fish since I'm personally not sure how it'd affect the taste. But Jack? He learned that balsamic vinegar exists. He learned that it also is used by real people chefs. He's a lazy white trash douchebag with delusions of grandeur, the desire to pretend to be a chef, and moderate brain damage. So he must use it.
I love how Jack arbitrarily rates this dump as good because it gives him a lot of lardy food. It really highlights how absolutely piss useless his reviews are, and how those other restaurants can just ignore his reviews whenever he tantrums due to him just having a bad day or whatever rustled his jimmies.
I agree, I tend use coconut/ lime marinades or depending on the fish, mustard myself as well. There was a restaurant I used to go to that had a good miso marinade for their fish. By the way, yogurt marinades are best on salmon or similar fish.
