    Japanese technique - How to fillet a whole salmon - 鮭のさばき方
    Chef Dai demonstrates a very simple technique to filleting a whole salmon. In this video, he is using a deadly sharp Deba knife to fillet a 6.5 KG Scottish Atlantic salmon.
    Please note that ALL of the meat left on the bones, head and belly are utilised. The bones are seasoned with sea salt and grilled. This meat is perfect for adding to soup and rice dishes such as ochazuke and onigiri.
    This particular salmon was scaled and gutted before video production.
    Thank you for watching and for all of your support!!!!

    Kinda miss this channel. Been a while since the last upload so I'm just assuming its dead. These videos were really satisfying to me though (Even though I never made any of the recipes and likely never will due to the availability of the ingredients in my country.)

    We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.

    You should approach the fish in the reverse order meaning: fillet the side from which you'd be starting at the head side, then filleting the side starting from the tail. This will eliminate you losing track of the backbone when cutting towards the tail. It makes for a more leveled cut.

    The way it was filet at the end was more for presentation than cooking style. Very interesting that a chef would choose a 45 degree cut rather than your straight or cross cut.

  • @doctoredable
    @doctoredable 6 лет назад

    Very nicely done!! I see the salmon was properly aged for a few days before it was filleted. I can see the fish was immediately bled when harvested by the lack of blood along the backbone. This makes it much easier to fillet, remove the pin bones and rib bones. The flavor and texture is also much better when the fish is 3 days old or more before filleting. Cutting on a bias also is a nice way to go. Our season for King Salmon opens in one week here in Northern California outside the Golden Gate. . Thanks for posting this video.

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 9 месяцев назад

      Well you sound like a wealth of information! I would love to pick your brain a little if possible. Im also from California. I dont know if were getting fruity or nutty, but i like it!
      So im wondering how you bleed the fish once caught? Is it just a tail slice? Or do you just clean it right away? Wondering the process a bit.
      Also ive never heard of the 3 day rule. But i want to do things properly. So what im wondering here is how to store the fish between catching and cooking. I normally notice the eyes go bad pretty quick.
      Ive caught plenty of fish, i normally send them back home. But i do occasionally decide to keep a specimen that i feel would cook well. I would like to elevate the experience beyond that of an 1800's cowboy.

    Wondering what size deba that is? Looks like 180mm or maybe a 165mm? Im having trouble deciding what size to get. The fish i catch and keep arent quite that size. Normally about a 1-2 kilo rainbow trout. But i would like something that can handle a salmon too, again probably a slightly smaller salmon though.

    • @amycorvus
      @amycorvus 6 лет назад +29

      Its a presentation technique that helps to make the portion look bigger than it is. Cutting straight down to the skin results in narrow/thin baton-like portions. Cutting at an angle results in a hand-sized portion. Both will weigh the same, but the second is visually larger and will fill the plate more. They will also cook differently too.

      yeah its more about cooking evenlyfor a good chef. its done with all kinds of fish and meats. especially on sandwiches. it's called "cutting on a bias" you get more heat to the center faster, but it could also be for presentation. it just looks better and like you are getting more. Another thing people do to fish filets to make them look bigger is butterflying but that results in cooking that s not so good
