Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
Here is a cool video of a Giant Bluefin Tuna being processed at a Japanese fish market. Pay special attention to the "oohs and Awes" from the crowd.

It does look tasty!

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
Looks very tasty, I'd like to have a nice steak off it. Long knife and it looks like he knows how to use it quite well. also noticed how the skeleton is cleaned off, no waste at all.

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
That has to be the longest filet knife ever!
Very cool. Notice how the fish is processed on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Much more effective than putting 'Fresh' in front of 'catch of the day'.

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
Looked as though itmight have been semi frozen? Thought maybe some frost around the gills? The lack of any kind of blood seemed to me contributed to the frozen thoughts? Anyway what a big fish!

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
How many can say they clean their tuna like that? I know I can't. Nothing is wasted.
Fillet knife looked more like a samurai sword.
Believe it or not most of the tuna sold in Japan has been frozen for a while do to distances traveled via ship. Unless it happens to be flown in or caught around Japanese waters the tuna is flash frozen.

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
Did anyone notice him cleaning the meat off of the ribs with what appears to be a shell? Nothing going to waste (except the usual stuff like the head)

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
That's wild. Todd, I wasn't sure if that was a shell or a piece of aluminum. Either way your right about not wasting anything.
That filet knife is huge. I liked the oh's when the knife kinda slipped and the guys belly wasn't far away. I wouldn't have been standing there if I was that guy. He could've been eviserated quite easily. Yuk.

Actually they eat the head too. Like I said nothing goes to waste.

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
Now that's a knife!
What the heck is it that they say when you walk into a sushi market? It sound like "happy San Jose" or something, but it's clearly not, since everyone knows there is no such thing. Anyone know? What does it mean? What is the appropriate response?

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
" Prized by sportsmen and sushi lovers, Atlantic bluefin tuna bring astronomical prices, particularly in Japan. A single fish, weighing 444 pounds, recently sold at auction for $175,000 in the Tokyo central seafood market. "
At that price I would be scraping everything I could off of it also ..

Re: Cleaning A Giant Bluefin Tuna at Market
When you walk into a sushi bar or any store in Japan for that matter they say "irashai mase". Which means welcome.
