    Anyone acting like he doesn’t know what a fillet knife is he’s a professional sushi chef I think you should leave the filleting to him he has probably done a few more fish

      exactly! like "Jerry Rigg" telling a certified mechanic--'you know they make ratchets right?" incredible. Thanks "Chef" Taku!!

      He was at a super fancy downtown San Fransisco sushi place too, where sushi cuts and filleting are going to be one of the most crucial parts of the food. The guy knows what he's doing, he just prefers a certain tool for the job, as any professional would!

      I must admit, my filet knife has a much stiffer back than many, a bubba blade. Also much cheaper and i'm sure i have to sharpen 10 times as often.

    No joke that’s the best camera work and commentary I’ve seen showing filet work on a fish, and that’s coming from a guy that watches deermeatfordinner/fisherman’s life daily! Well done

    Hey Taku!
    my parents are chinese and grew up preparing fish whole, bones and all; I used to dread eating fish whenever it was for dinner because I just wasn't great at spitting out all those bones LOL
    but watching all of your prep videos gave me more confidence to take over in the kitchen in regards to fish, and now the family always looks forward to when I cook it! We had some amazing saba shioyaki the other day, thanks mostly in part to your fileting tutorials 😊
    much love from San Diego! Keep up the great work!

    • @dennistani1986
      @dennistani1986 3 роки тому +2

      I agree with you on the bones. That's why I won't eat fish with lots of bones out of fear I would get one stuck in my throat.....

  • @user-xn8le2yz7p

    I've said it before I'm definitely jealous of your filleting skills. I agree with you on the "preferred" knife thing. Once you fillet enough fish you can do it with a razor blade, chefs knife or a filleting knife. It's the practice in the first place that matters not the knife. 👍🔥
