      here in my home country, that is called "ipot ipot." After eating that fish, When you walk, oil drips from behind without you realizing that it has flowed down your legs. It's oily and smelly when you eat it. The flies will sure follow you behind your legs, hahaha! 😄

    This has more to do with eating certain kinds of fats than the fat percentage, because butter or margarine is 80 percent fat, so 8 ounces of this fish is equal to only 2 ounces of butter (1/2 stick of butter) (Edit- Yeah just looked it up, 90% of the fats in this fish are indigestible wax esters, similar to what is found in beeswax) So it is not because the fish is so fatty, it is specifically because of the type of chemicals in the fats.

The craps were monumental. I didn’t have any pain or discomfort either other than the butt spray. I still order it sometimes but only two pieces of nigiri.

      It’s so wrong and misleading that they call it white tuna The first time I had it, I thought the sushi chef was trying to describe albacore.
      I will say that having spontaneous uncontrollable but leakage in public is not a good thing.
      I don’t care how good it was, never had it again. If your body can’t digest the wax it contains I’d rather not have any.

    I commented on another video, and I live close to lake Superior in Minnesota. Lake Superior also has a strain of Lake Trout called Siscowet, which are also called Fat lake trout. These are only good when smoked due to the high fat content. I have also heard of people leaving these fish in the sun, and the meat literally melts off the bones. Much like Oil Fish or Escolar. I know the two are related.

I did get cramps and diarrhea, but the discomfort was mild and it didn't last long. However...the next day I had the orange oil making its way into my underwear and shorts independently, sans poop or bathroom trip. I was eternally grateful for Google for explaining to me what the "white tuna" actually was and assuring me that my insides weren't melting away and oozing out.

    So it’s like wagu beef as far as fat content and digestive issues?

    • @tookitogo
      @tookitogo Рік тому +1

      Not the same. Wagyu contains tons of fat, but it is digestible fat. The “waxy” fats in escolar are indigestible, so they pass through unaltered the whole way, which our guts don’t like.

    From experience, it definitely gives you the runs. Would do it again though lol

      Definitely worth it but I recommend portion control 😅

    So does it have the same effect if you cook it?

    • @tookitogo
      @tookitogo Рік тому

      Yes. The indigestible waxy oils that cause the issue are not affected by cooking.

    Hello, I wanted to tell you Gold Premium Aloha shoyu taste better than Kikkoman shoyu. There is a big difference, it was made for raw fish and wasabi.

    Banned in italy too, funny since they didn't ban olive oil which in larger amounts does the same thing.

    The problem with escolar is that it's mislabeled as other kinds of fish, usually tuna. That is illegal.

  • @mikedubovs1574
    @mikedubovs1574 Рік тому

    It is white castle of fish, or taco Bell.. , they call it white tuna in America.. grilled collars are awesome but it is the waxy oils that make you shyte not anything else.. but it is like eating a quart of ricotta cheese if you are lactose intolerant

    Great video, gross but very informational; I've had escolar sushi and sashimi in restaurants and never heard anything about the intestinal issues. I wonder if the sushi chef or owner would have cut me off at some point? 🚽🧻
    Three questions about this fish:
    Was your fisherman catching / sourcing that fish in local waters here in South Florida or would you'd have had it shipped in via air freight?
    When you receive your fish from any commercial source would have have expected it to be gutted when you receive it?
    Do you take in fresh fish from non-commercial spearfishermen and if so, do you prefer them to have been bled, gilled and gutted right after they're taken but before being iced?

    is that barrelfish?

    • @reedthefishmonger

      No sir! Barrelfish has a below average fat content of 1-3%

    Isn't it a generally bad idea to eat fresh caught fish raw? Aren't you worried about parasites?

    LOUVAR - is similar in taste to ESCOLAR but without the associated gastric distress!
