    First time I ever had this was tonight. Got 2 fillets from my supplier and never thought to look for a YouTue on how to prep the fillet. All in all I don't think I did too badly, did it mostly like you tho with the bony area in the belly I did have, unfortunately there was some waste. I did manage to get 2 great pieces off the fillets and a smaller piece off each as well. Only having a very expensive Yanagiba, I was not going to try to cut through the bones with it. I need to get a Deba now. Saving your video for the next time I get this. I love Hamachi, but I think I like this even more. The flavour is exquisite. Delicious sashimi!

    Amazing video ,thank you for the video. How would one prepare Yellowtail fish from a fresh catch so that it can be sushi grade or safe for sushi consumption ? Also is any variation of Yellowtail if there are several safe for sushi ?

  • @fishingtacklechannel
    @fishingtacklechannel 3 роки тому +2

    Blood line is not for those that are trying hamachi/buri for the first time. Ask the chef to take it off. It is the very fishing and off tasting for most people.

    how would you store the filleted fish when it comes to ceviche making? like vacumseal it and freeze, dry age it, cube it and vacum seal it?

    Interesting about the blood line, as I usually cut most of it away as I don't really like the taste of it. Still, great and detailed video. I guess I have to get one of those fancy knives to separate out the ribs from the belly portions, which is really tough to do with regular knives.

    • @LUk3.M.
      @LUk3.M. Рік тому

      You can try pulling out the rib bones with a towel to help as grip. Just use your knife and fingers to expose the end of the bone, then grip it and pull it out. It generally comes out clean. Works for me.

    I have been cleaning fish with a deba now for a few years. There is in my opinion no better instrument for the job. Learn to sharpen single bevel knives on stones and buy a quality deba. It will become your favorite knife.

    Personally, I always remove all the silver-skin on our yellowtail for crudo at the restaurant I'm at. I dont like the look of it. Also most of the blood line, but not all, not much less than what you had.

  • @YoshiAmakusa

    "Which I rolled into a rose which is a traditional Sushi preparation." 😂😂😂 This is not a "Traditional" Sushi prep technique at all. Also, you do not always have to start from the belly when cleaning/filleting fish. The chef sounds really pretentious and really hard trying to be Japanese.

  • @Suk830.0
    @Suk830.0 Рік тому

    First mistake, the bloodline should be completely removed. Blood is the main culprit of fishy smell and taste. Don't want blood touching the flesh.

  • @heckkoch9

    great job which overall breakdown...I notice you're sawing with each slice. Is your knife dull?
    I'd still improve on your Japanese pronunciation. If you're going to learn sanmai oroshi and all traditional techniques and use traditional cutlery, you should do better at Japanese pronunciation...it's easy when you remember how the vowels are pronounced A=ah, E=eh, I=ee, O=oh, U=oo, Example: Yanagi, you pronounced You-na-gee...Yah-Na-Gee or Yah-nah-gee-bah...Nigiri, you pronounced ni-GEAR- ree....it should NEE-Gee-Lee...and the emphasis is on the Nee, not GEE and it's not GEAR. Rs are pronounced as Ls, always.

      Skills are skills no matter who has them. I can honestly say that Rob has the most detailed knife skills of anyone I’ve ever filmed, and I’ve filmed dozens of chefs (including Japanese chefs). Please keep an open mind and don’t judge someone based on the color of their skin.
