      True acts of altruism are rare indeed. But I'd rather someone create positive impacts with his selfishness than negative ones. Charity workers help people for their own self satisfaction too, but they spread an important message in the process.

    • @jonathandpg6115
      @jonathandpg6115 6 років тому +23

      the idea is that if you're going to kill it, use the whole thing so you don't go out killing a ton more for something. While you kill it don't waste it. I think that's what he was getting at.

  • @GrillWasabi
    @GrillWasabi 7 років тому +584

    And that my friend is the correct way to process sashimi. Fresh fish usually consist of parasites; therefore, any fish for sashimi have to be frozen first before serving. Most people think sashimi should be fresh but doesn't realize that sushi chefs did this process first before serving it.

    • @ssh83
      @ssh83 7 років тому +19

      Quality of the food source is the question. There are many countries (including Japan) where you can easily buy raw egg that is safe to consume raw. Other countries have lax regulation and just try to educate their people that raw egg = bad, but healthy animals that live in clean/natural environment produce healthy egg that don't have parasite. Same goes with raw milk, raw fish, raw beef, etc.

    • @kylecronin8737
      @kylecronin8737 7 років тому +5

      ssh83 It's rarely ever the egg itself. Usually getting sick off egg happens because some of the egg caught some poop on the way down to the pan.

      this guy freezes his fresh(?) tuna, and then charges more than it's worth presumably. what even is this.

    • @ian3236
      @ian3236 6 років тому +3

      "Fresh" Tuna or sashimi is frozen first mate. Google it.

    • @MFWb00bi3s
      @MFWb00bi3s 6 років тому

      Only if you're buying it from someone else in a country which mandates that to be necessary for tuna meant to be eaten raw, or the vessel freezes for transport. Unlucky for you!

    • @ian3236
      @ian3236 6 років тому +3

      The Japanese freeze it, and its the practice at the top sashimi restaurants in Japan so I'm not sure what you're getting at. They do not eat your version of fresh sashimi whether a country mandates it or not. You can if you want too of course but dont act like it tastes better, or its sacrilege to freeze it.

      fish is normally flash frozen on the boat. For sushi, it's pretty much required to kill the parasite. And it needs to be frozen for at least 7 days.

    • @mcx24
      @mcx24 5 років тому

      Lili oh yeah yeah, freezing doesn't actually kill the bacteria, by doing quick freeze you just make the bacteria inactive and avoiding them to multiply its numbers, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit is the recommended temp if you consume cold food like salad, cold cuts etc, above 140 degrees Fahrenheit is the recommended cooking temp to destroy the bacteria and between 41 to 140 is the temp danger zone which the bacteria will multiply its number..
