Up next was the easy part; fill the bathtub with water, set our sous vide machine to ‘delicious’ (50 degrees Celsius) and go drink beers in the lounge room again for two hours until the fish was cooked to perfection. How wrong we were. Removing the fish from the bathtub we concluded that either there was a small leak in the bag allowing water to get in, or the huge, whole fish had merely seeped water from itself to create—well I don’t know what to call it, but there were a lot of juices/bathwater. We cut open the bag and, as true scientists/idiots, we were obliged to try the finished product. It was edible, but could have used about another hour cooking. It probably could have used some seasoning before going into the bag, but we weren’t sure what the salt would do when cooking to this method.
