As a young female fish butcher myself I truly enjoyed this video. It’s great to see other women in this role. She does a fantastic job. It was smooth, precise, and so very satisfying.

There's something super *satisfying* about the sounds of the knife gliding across the fish bones and cutting board

[@dusroots]

I thought I was the only one!

[@howexistential]

That's a lot of fish in one day haha. That's super cool, her growth mindset seems so clutch and you can her expertise is really amazing to listen to. There's something so satisfying about watching the fish get cut down as well Great video!

This lady is awesome. Great knife skills and she's easy on the eyes also.

[@ChefEpic]

She really knows how to break down fish. She has some of the best fish butchery skills I've seen in a long time.

Im a sushichef, I can relate to a sense of getting in the flow state when filetting fish butI am quite amazed how is she hacking away with her deba and its not chipping! Wow! If I will do thesame with my bluesteel deba it will chip until its almost useless. Any tips?

[@OscarLopez-gl8hy]

I would love to know what deba that is I need it

[@user-eg9mf5wg3r]

Is she using Kagekiyo for Deba and yanagi knife?

[@ChefEpic]

Knife work with the deba, but for everyone, no college degree was needed for this profession

[@tashakomaroff2982]

And what’s your point? She graduated from Kendall College, where I’m sure she learned a lot.
