- Yuji Haraguchi is a butcher and owner of the fish market Osakana. In this episode of Handcrafted, Haraguchi shows Bon Appétit how to butcher a whole tuna and explains every cut of fish you would see at sushi restaurants. To do this, Haraguchi uses five knives: the Yanagi, which is used for slicing sashimi, the Mioroshi Deba filleting knife with narrow thin blade, the Deba single-edged knife used for breaking down the whole fish, the Gyuto versatile multipurpose chef's knife, and the Yo-Deba. He breaks down the tuna into back loin, belly loin, pelvic fins, bones, and collars. From there, the cuts are broken down into saku blocks and sashimi like toro, chu-toro, sinews, sankaku, akami, tuna tartare, and aburi.

Guy: This fish is definitely number one
Fish: *blushes*
Lmfao..
Better love story than twilight
Guy: ...out of ten.
Fish: **blushes furiously**
But his head..?
ToastBot LMFAO
11pm: "i should really go to sleep"
4am: "i now know how to carve a whole tuna"
stark1987 it’s exactly 11 here
It is 5 am why do i feel personally attacked XD
Same lol
Right. Idk about most folks but im american and was raised to know that the reder the better. I love taking a couple tuna steaks and just scaring them a little by showing them the heat. But not actually cooking. Lightly pepper and just chow down.
Same exept flordia time and its 12 well was twelve now it 2am
Never really thought about how huge tuna are.
That tuna is small actually
The tuna could reach 6 meter tall
tuna can be more big than that one
Lily Jovcevski Phish dummy thicc
Most tuna are thicc tbh
Galaxy Catnip ur thicc
His English is flawless and the narration combined with his technique makes this video rivetting. Great work.
its not flawless
@@2darkdragon most people have a bad understanding of English anyway, even native English speaking people cant speak it properly... so relatively its good.
@@sumswaggaming it is good
@@sumswaggaming *cough* Brad *cough*
Not flawless still contain some accent
Some auto generated captions still incorrect
I love their no waste policy, shows a great respect for the product! Great video :)
@Baraka Hagatanga i don't see anything wrong there
@Baraka Hagatanga most fish have some Amount of mercury

@Smash this is tuna, how many times do you eat shark meat
@@circle4602 Not that often, but every once in a while I do. Blue shark is fairly commonly eaten here in Italy.
This is a butcher who truly respects the fish they fillet
And then he makes shark fin soup and throws the intire shark away only using the fin
@@atte9702 He's japanese. Shark fin soup is mostly popular in china..
@@atte9702 He's literally scraping meat off of the bones to save everything he can dumbo
@@atte9702 Sounds like youre the disrespectful one
@@atte9702 Shark fin soup is taboo in Japan, they believe that wasting the animal in that way is dishonorable to their trade
This guy looks super young but with the knowledge of an elder who has mastered a trade
He's probably been fishing and filleting since he was a kid with his dad or something. I remember when i was about 15, this kid i went to school with showed me how to butcher and cook rabbits and hares. He'd been hunting them since he was a kid, and grew up knowing all about butchering, cooking etc. Up until that point, i never even seen a dead animal except for in the store, post butchered, in fridges. Or hung up in a butchers window. I knew about slaughterhouses and butches and where meat came from, i wasn't naive to that. Just never actually seen or done the butchering. and here i was, being educated in this matter by this kid who was slightly younger than me, who'd been doing it years. Some people just grow up learning these things as part of their childhood or teenhood. Kinda wish i had
@@EvilGremlin100 true that man. It's truly impressive
He is actually 87 years old, asians do not age normally.
@@silversurfer1908 THAT'S A FACT!
@@silversurfer1908 thay age like anime characters lmao
My boss:"why are you so tired at work?" *me watching a guy slices tuna at 11pm* "i had importnant things to do boss"
At 6 am* 😂🙃
You call 11 pm late ??
I sleep at 3 am and wake up at 7 am for school
AT 11 it’s 1 am where I live
I loved that he tried to use everything as possible. Personally, I think it shows respect to the animal.
Also, each ounce of meat is worth money, so he doesn’t want to leave meat on the bones that could be reeling in profit.
ah. I usually show respect with a nod, tip of my hat or a firm hand shake. to each our own eh
The Sage agreed, it is the only proper way to show respect. *nods and tips hat*
yeah jeffrey dahmer too he didnt waste
yeah the fish appreciates getting killed and not being wasted, you can see the smile on it's face lol
I love how he talks about using every bit of the fish. And when he talks about something that isn’t edible, he says, “Unfortunately we have to throw this away.” That’s how cooking should be. :)
Samantha Godard It's because he has respect for the animal, he believes you should use it as efficiently as possible to minimise the impact on the species.
This is how it should be everywhere… agreed 100%
I totally agree with the whole respect for this man and his view of the animal and the usage of it...
However, I wonder (as an Englishman, and thus genetically predisposed to boiling everything in the hopes of creating a good broth for stews and gravies) if one could use the tuna skin and scales with the bones when brewing a ramen broth?!
@@Tarantio1983 rather not. a lot of impurities are disposed in the skin and it gives of those impurities into the stock and makes it bitter
Third time Lucky that’s not a blue fin tho
Much respect for this young man. That patience will serve him well in life. You can't but have respect for someone who takes their time like he is and uses EVERYTHING, he is truly an artisan of his craft!
But I don’t even like tun-
Brain: shush, you must watch.
Yeah, I watched the whole video despite being a vegetarian.
Facts.. I dont even really like seafood but for some reason love seeing it prepared 🤣
fr
Basti brain: wtf
Please have him back and show us a recipe for tuna ramen with those roasted bones.
Yes please!
Not sure, but I think this channel only focuses on butchery.
Robert Moredo i just binged the content from this channel and it looks like they do any thing from junk food turned gourmet, recipe butchering videos
i guess they do anything food related
@@drea2280 thanks for lettijg me know 😊
such good food, I am a big fan of seafood, and the broth from the bones of a bluefin would make the most incredible delicious ramen. salute.
Dude you aren't a butcher, you're an artist.
Ahmed Samir he is an artisan

He's a butcher, he is definitely the number one butcher
Neo Dintchly this is probably the only butcher you’ve ever seen
Isn't weird how humans have made art out of killing other animals? I don't mean that with any snark against anyone or somin, for me it's genuinely weird.
Mottanai - Conveying a sense of regret concerning waste.
Brilliant!
I liked hearing that part!
Love how he makes sure he utilizes every possible part of the fish and not waste it, and even recommends dishes that would taste good with the parts people people usually toss.
Brain: You have to know how to butcher a Tuna fish.
Me: Why?
Brain: You must.
I don't blame you
I loved how he gave us the Japanese terms too :) I love the philosophy of wasting as little as possible!
Agreed! Especially where some have an abundance of food, and others struggle. Food is so precious
I've found the Japanese have a great respect for food.
It's as much philosophy as it is price awareness. Have you ever had a look at how much a whole tuna like this costs?
They well pretty poor a century ago.
Just that work with the spoon between the bones. Give me 5 mins in the kitchen and there is nothing left.
Nobody:
RUclips Algorithm: wanna know how to butcher tuna?
But I still watched it 😂
...why yes, I do.😌
Its 3:20am but yeah sure
Me: Hell ya
Hey, feel lucky RUclips didn't get recommended some of those really disturbing gacha video
Ya let me just get the 5 foot tuna outa my fridge so I can start cutting it
When he took off the first back loin, I have never been more satisfied. That piece was beautiful
It still surprises me how large a tuna fish is! This one is pretty big, and I know they get even more massive than this, lol!
You know theyre so powerful that they can cook their muscles up when they go 100% sudden burst of muscle activity
They can be over 1,000 lbs! Such amazing fish.
this one is consider medium small.
Sous Vide TV there huge but my cat only gets so little from a Can
It's sad that the avg size of tuna has been decreasing over the years due to overfishing of juveniles. It's almost becoming rare to find an adult/mature sized tuna.
Well this quarantine isnt all that bad...
At least i know how to carve a tuna fish now
I don’t know why I’m saying this but I need to turn off my phone and plug it in but my cats laying on top of me and I don’t want to disturb her what should I do
@@fairiesarereal112 Once your pet falls asleep on you, you've become that animal's bed. You're not allowed to move anymore lol 😂
I'm almost as impressed with his English as I am with his knife skills. This was extremely informative. I doubt I'll ever have the opportunity to do this, but somehow I'm glad I know how it's done.
Damn. I've said it before but I absolutely love the content, commentary, videography and overall production values of this series. Cow, pig, lamb...now tuna. Well done as usual, BA.
same here great comment
Tosh T t
Tosh T Damn. No normal, good, compassionate human being would
"absolutely love" gruesome, violent, bloody massacre of innocent, helpless, defenceless sentient beings. Your moral compass is out of whack Sir... like many here. How sad.
+cooperrosa It is always curious to me when someone is compelled to cast aspersions instead of simply making a point. Sad indeed. 😂😂
Tosh T The point is, you Sir, like many here clearly have no compassion, morals, ethics and respect for other species and the environment. I've never met in person someone who "absolutely love" seeing others die. You are clearly cold - hearted and don't give a damn about anything and anyone... not even about yourself Sir. Yeah, you said it "sad indeed".
I will probably never need this in my life, but thanks anyway.
Uninitiated friend walks in after 1 hr when this man is done : WHERE IS THE LARGE FISH ?!??!?!
THIS BUTCHER : GONE !!! REDUCED TO ATOMS !!
I don’t even like fish...and here I am watching how to butcher a tuna
Yeah, you don't like fish so you watch how to chop them up after they die.
4J and?🥱
I love fish, but best seafood is by far crab legs. Deep fried shrimp are a third for me
@@umnofr It's a joke lol. Since "you don't like fish", then you "like to see them get chopped up after death". So since you don't like fish, you like to see horrible things be done to them. But it's a joke, I understand what you really meant is that you don't care that much for fish/seafood.
4J sheesh I was jokin to chill
I love all the master butchery videos you guys put up on here!
Agreed! So interesting and very well narrated.
Agreed. I can't stop watching these videos!
Doodah Gurl If you "love all the master butchery videos" of sentient, innocent, helpless, defenceless beings, you have serious mental issues. And the 812 cold - hearted individuals giving you the thumbs up are just the same. What a waste.
cooperrosa - I think you’re lost. This is a food channel.
Moron animals are not helpless or innocent. Very few are sentient and humans eat meat so get over it.
Absolutely no waste. So good.
I'm surprised there is supposedly a lot of waste considering what the Iron Chef's pull off.
Doc Roid Sorry, you're wrong. There is lots, lots, lots of waste. Large % of the marine life cot in the fish nets are useless to "fisherman" and must throw it back already suffocated into the oceans. Please watch on RUclips, Google or Netflix: What The Health, Global Sushi, Extinction facts and Empty Oceans. Thanks
cooperrosa I meant the fish that they're butchering. No waste on that.
i do not live near water, have no fishing or cooking experience, im not even an adult yet, but i still watched and learned how to butcher a tuna. so boom
I’m never gonna butcher a tuna, but I’ll remember this valuable information RUclips thought I should have,
That was a master class.
I love this series, I think it would be cool to see the butcher make some of the recipes with the scraps and parts most people throw away
theomen49 I'd rather watch a chef work it while the butcher keeps bringing in these strange cuts of meat for them to cook. I think that would be very entertaining to watch them work in their environment.
Do a chicken, deer, and turkey next Bon Appétit
Japanese chefs are so cool man, even their tap water looks cool.
Finally, I can't stress the most important thing shown in this video enough; washing the blade after sharpening. To many times I've seen people go right from stone or file to flesh.
Name Here always wash and dry your knives right after sharpening!
The tiny shards get into the food if u don't rinse ur knife off.
Beautiful butchery: alligator.
kurt Rosenthal everyone upvote this! Ik a channel called deermeatfordinner does a really in depth video on it. I'd really like to see it on this channel!!
Shayan Givehchian yes man also maybe a kangaroo
kurt Rosenthal Your comment gives me the chills. No normal, good, compassionate, human being, will find cold-hearted, selfish, unnecessary "butchery" of innocent, helpless, vulnerable, beings ..."beautiful". The 135 morons giving you the thumbs up are just as crippled.
Big Smoke "Yes man also may be" human animals, that like to kill for profits, pleasure, fun, trophies, sports, 5 min. pallet pleasure and other preposterous reasons... hmm?!
cooperrosa you're right
Do I need to know this? No.
Am I watching this while eating an Oreo blizzard on my moms bed anyway? Yes.
Watching some guy butcher a tuna really craving sushi
Me: cronches down on another hot Cheeto
This is money, do more of these. Any saltwater fish butchery would be cool too. Swordfish etc?
Jon I agree. Thought it might be difficult for most fish it's the same method of fillet or butchery (whichever you prefer)
I imagine this method can be used for most fish,
True but it would be an opportunity to show the heading and gutting parts of the process as it won't focus so much on the finer slicing of this video.
Jon the tuna is exclusively a saltwater fish
People eat swordfish?
This is art
Greg Gonzales "This" is nothing more than brutal, bloody massacre of innocent, peaceful, clueless, sentient beings. What is wrong with you? Where is your humanity, compassion, morals, ethics and respect for wild (any) life? KILLING IS NOT ART Sir! Unless are starving to death or your life is in immediate danger, killing is unethical, unnecessary, unnatural and wrong. KILLING FOR PROFITS AND PLEASURE IS A CRIME. The oceans, the planet are dyeing, because of greedy, selfish, ignorant and stupid people. If "This" isn't evil, don't know who and what else is. Evolve, before it's too late.
cooperrosa God created animals for you to eat you stupid piece of vegan crap.
Meowthful 127 why would you click this video if your a vegan? I respect the vegan community, so why must you comment something to disrespect us.
Regulations don't allow the overfishing of tuna so they are not dying
@@cooperrosa I'll eat tuna until they're all extinct
Me: I'm probably never gonna butcher a tuna, why should I watch this video at 3 am
my Brain: you gotta
For real
As a vegetarian who hasn’t had fish in about 5 years this was an extremely interesting video to watch
same over here haha
What they say is true, a vegetarian always has to tell you he is one
@@icedwhitechocolatemochafra9851 in this case it's relevant information though
@@vermin4275 so what? At least some vegans respect meat eaters, like the commenter of this thread
I love that Japanese have a word for how I look at my fellow Americans in disgust over the amount of food wasted on a daily basis. I have lived "Mottainai" my while adult life without being able to give it a label. Thank you for helping me verbalized this beautiful practice.
At this one local Japanese store they sell parts of salmon that most American places throw away. I’ve never understood why. Those parts are so fatty and delicious and it seems like such a waste to throw it away.
Woah there. Dont put all americans in a group like that lol. As one I always try to make the moet of my food or just save it for later
Aa Ron gio whats their word for dirty panties for sale in a vending machine? 🤦🏻♂️
I love how you've shown that even the Japanese are self-righteous at some point too.
No waste cuisine. I love this philosophy.
This is art. This man is an artist with just flawless technique. Such focus and precision. I also really enjoyed his narration
Why RUclips is offering this blessing to me at randomly at 1am after 2 years of existing, I have no idea. I am very pleased.😂😂
man this is one of the best series on youtube
By god, the redness of the tuna is like ruby. Bloody, bloody ruby. It's beautiful and a bit... I don't know. It's enticing.
KogasaGaSagasa și sa se uite pe aici
Thats like a 1000+ fish.
I think tuna is the most beautiful of all animal flesh. It is just so perfect looking.
Legit when he was breaking down the Akami into the saku blocks and such my mouth was watering.
I died of satisfaction at the saku blocks

Buddha Stalin bro why are you being so rude
@@mostofwhatisaidonherewascr129 I didn't even know there were comments on this comment till today lol. Doesn't matter tho.
KillerGames yeah RUclips sucks at giving comment notifications
KillerGames that’s horrible. Imagine if someone butchered you and was able to precisely take all the meat out of you? Would you be impressed or disgusted? Just because it’s not on humans doesn’t mean that butchering a tuna is respecting the tuna
I love this guy, he is so committed to using the whole fish. Amazing chef and butcher
Watched this whole thing without skipping a second
Very beautiful indeed
This was an absolute pleasure to watch, excellent narration, incredible technique and I personally have a world of respect for this young man who is clearly passionate about his craft.
Loved his added explanation of what knives he's using and why. Fantastic video! Great to see how a fish gets turned into the cuts you see in restaurants and markets.
Tuna is one of the meats we really need to be a bit more conservative about, unlike cows and stuff we're kinda running out of them so dont forget to buy responsibly.
They are quite responsible too at using the tuna. They use most of the stuff that can't be sold to other restaurants. The food waste is also an issue we should talk about as well. The tuna collar looks good though. It should be tasty if it's fried.
save the blue fin ;(
leo Marrow it's not a blue fin
Benj Reyes that's true. It should be good in soup too. It would be very rich in collagen. Imagining it makes me hungry.
Agreed.
Osaka provides lovely classes! I took my ex there for a traditional sushi 🍣 making class in 2019. Love this place, their people, and especially their philosophy and practices regarding less seafood wasteland education.
Wow that was great, I could not stop watching. Impressed by how many different knives it took. That was art.
We love this series! Thanks so much for making these.
LeGourmetTV Recipes What is there to "love". It's actually quite gruesome, absurd, abhorrent, brutal, selfish, unnatural, unnecessary and wrong!
So says the vegan who uses a stolen stock photo for their channel picture, or did you pay Volodymyr Burdiak to use his picture of that leopard?? Yeah, didn't think so. To us; stealing and using someone else's work is absurd, abhorrent, brutal, selfish, unnatural, unnecessary and wrong! A vegan animal rights activist using the picture of a captive animal as a show of strength is also absurd... but yer probably not that aware.
BrewHowse LeGourmetTV You Sir are full of yourself and here's why. Simple picture of FREE wild life has nothing to do with this and many other bloodthirsty, senseless, brutal massacres for fun, sports, trophies, profits, 5 min. palate pleasure and other dumb reasons. Attacking me and with such foolish nonsense isn't going to impress anyone with simple common sense.
You don't need diploma, hard work, bravery, special skills and tactics to watch others and perhaps personally butcher, brutalize weak, helpless, defenceless, peaceful beings, only to fulfil absurd, perverted, crippled egos and needs. Get this Sir, I'm not only "animal rights activist. I'm Animal/ Human/Earth "activist". I am who I am, because of you and other lazy moochers and cowards like you. I do what any good, compassionate, ethical human being auth to do.
Defending absurd "traditions" is counterproductive and self - destructive. A good Man doesn't need to kill others to feel good about himself, be healthy, eat well, be proud, wealthy and happy!!!!! A good Man/Woman would defend, protect, respect and protect the most vulnerable in any society, children and animals. This planet is the only one we have. These species like all others are NOT your's, NOT your food. They are NOT vegetables, trash or criminals! It's not their fault for your misery, anger and personal issues. Leave them alone, if you have any humanity left in you.
Nothing is for ever, the more you take and kill the worst it gets. Greed, stupidity and ignorance are the reason for wild life extinction, diseases, hunger, pollution, deforestation,violence and global Warming. You don't give a damn... like the majority here... but you must. Nothing is for ever. It's not too late to face reality. Oceans are depleted and if you and others like you don't stop now, everyone will suffer. And please tell me Sir, what the Hell you do, to make our world a better place? Other than being ignorant, arrogant and support moochers and perhaps being one yourself?????
Can't wait until they do a video on how to butcher a VEGAN SJW!!!! I've subbed to this channel in anticipation.
Tourista TV Wow, that's all you were able to come up with Sir? Not impressed. Actually, people like you make me lough. There's nothing more dumb than suggesting violent acts towards others, no matter how you feel. You are only showing, how barbaric, vicious, misguided are the individuals who willingly participate in the merciless butchering of innocent, peaceful, harmless sentient beings... as if are criminals. The truth is, they are the real criminals.
One must be really angry, miserable, misguided individual to resort to violence. Good luck with that. Don't feel sorry for you, but those around and in front of you. You can "butcher" me all you want, but you'll never earn my respect. You'll still be nothing and worthless. A man without compassion, morals, ethics and respect for others is worthless... even if he has billions in his bank account. You can't buy respect, admiration, honour, dignity and love. Real Man doesn't need to exploit, use, abuse, torture and "butcher" anyone, to feel good about himself, be proud, healthy, wealthy and happy.
You're probably much older than me, but Sir, try to listen and understand first people, before you say or do something you might regret. You might even learn a thing or two. Everybody makes mistakes and all mistakes could be forgiven. Violence is learned behaviour, not natural to most normal people. You want and like to be violent? Sign up for the army to fight someone your caliber and strength... there are many bad guys that need to be put to rest. But, butchering peaceful, helpless, defenceless, vulnerable, weak sentient beings is for cowards. It's like butchering babies, children, women, mentally and physically disabled, the elderly. Wake up... evolve. You can do better than this.
Just because you can do something it doesn't mean you should, nor it means it's the moral, ethical, right, healthy, natural, necessary thing to do. Your arrogance and sense of entitlement are quite astonishing. Believe it or not, it always begins with the flesh eating lunacy, turning good, caring, compassionate humans to heartless, brutalizes and monsters. No wonder, there's so much violence, discrimination and racism all over the world. This world needs more good people, not bad. Which one are you are and want to be? It's up to you.

Now I just need to find some Tuna.
and knives..
bluefin is endangered so please don't
this is not blue fin though
That tuna probably cost 1500 bucks, just saying.
Nah. A lot more. A typical tuna on market costs about $14/lb for grade 1. If he gets the whole fish, Im guessing maybe $6/lb?
I'm on my 4th video of how to fillet and break down fish. Idk why I'm here but I love it.
feel you though its my 3th xD
For some reason I feel like I can trust this man with my life
Even for a vegetarian like me, this skill is definitely appreciated!
Oh thanks I'm not alone. I'm vg but I can't stop watching these japanese fish cutting videos. So fascinating
That’s bloody massive! I never knew tunas were so big!
Some of the biggest cam weigh hundreds of kilod
These arent regular tunas. Especially bluefin tunas can be very large. And a price that makes eyes drop
you can hear the subtle passion in his voice!!!! 🥺
I never thought I would be so riveted to watching someone process a tuna. This fine man has really perfected his craft. I marveled at how precise his English is.
This is not a butchery. This is a japanese art. All the preparations, the progress... its beautiful.
Amazing to see an expect show off their craft.
I listen to this before going to bed, it’s weirdly soothing. He has a very calm and methodical way of speaking
This young man missed his calling. He could be an orthopedic surgeon!
It is endlessly fascinating to watch him disassemble an enormous fish with such scientific precision and attention to detail.
Amazing. And very Japanese.
The fact that no one of us will ever butcher a tuna.
The only reason this may be useful for me is if I ever write a story set in a fishing village... xD
I butchered a can of tuna today, does that count?
I butchered one today! Caught my first Bluefin Tuna 60+pounds offshore Mexico and San Diego. bc I watched this video I didn't mess it up. Thousands of dollars of tuna I can't waste any of it.
Why even live then
Beautiful job butchering and narrating! Thank you for sharing your amazing skill and knowledge.
I want a tuna fish to swallow me so when someone cuts the fish open, I can surprise them like it’s their birthday
For me, that tuna collar is actually like a hidden gem. Just roast or grill it with little S&P or if you are more adventurous, add some seasoning paste of your choice and eat it with salsa or hot sauce. It is divine.
We need more butcher presentation like this.
Great quality both on video production and the skill of the craftsmen.
Absolute boss
Today I learned whole tuna is a lot bigger then I had imagined
Domo arigato, Mr Haraguchi.
That was an amazing display of care, passion and skill.
am I the only one that gets hungry watching fish getting butchered? What a huge fish!!
I just want to post a PSA here: I love tuna as much as everyone, and eat sushi all the time, but it's worth remembering that most species of tuna are endangered to some degree. This species, the bigeye, is classified by the IUCN as Vulnerable--the same level of endangerment as African lions. Certain species of bluefin tuna are actually Critically Endangered, aka close to extinction. If these were land animals we probably wouldn't be eating them, but it can be hard to remember that these marine animals are just as important in their own environments, and they're really not doing well.
Worth keeping in mind. It's easy to find species endangerment info online, and there are many tuna species at varying levels of endangerment. If you want to choose to stay away from eating especially compromised species, it's not terribly difficult to do.
Thanks Bon Appetit, these videos are amazing!!!
Megan McGrath I totally get what your saying but its impossible to get people to stop eating a certain food unless it has certain dangers to their health. And even then people wont care. But very well said!
Megan McGrath - go away. Don't tell us that you eat tuna and then tell us we shouldn't
This is a yellowfin tuna, not a bluefin, which is the most endangered and most prized. Yellowfins are sustainable and highly regulated, also I highly doubt this dude or even the channel would drop nearly 250k for a bluefin of this size either.
No Worries, This one is from his backyard pond.
If people want to eat tuna in the future it may have to come down to farmed tuna, but there are tradeoffs in terms of pollution. Open ocean tuna farming, if ever perfected, would eliminate in large part the disadvantages to farmed tuna while using less chemicals. Another way to mitigate overfishing is inland farming of Aquabounty tuna, genetically modified with genes from the pout fish to grow faster while using less feed and less chemicals.
No matter what, wild caught tuna are on the way out; either from overfishing or from an increase in farming. I would argue that it would be healthier and more sustainable overall if people were to eat farmed tuna over pork or beef, because tuna requires less inputs in general to get up to sellable weight.
scrumptious. did i watch a whole 20 minute video of a man cutting a tuna? yes. i do not regret it.
That back fillet looks scrumptious looks near identical to steaks of mammals. Never knew tuna meat was this red 🤤
That’s one big ass fish compared to how small the tins are the tuna comes in
Most canned Tuna is Skipjack, which are a very small species of tuna. Bluefin Tuna can get twice as big as the fish pictured here
And in the case of canned and flavored Tuna flakes, it's usually the scraps that is utilized. The flesh scraped from the bones, the sinewy parts, etc.
@@potatoejauregui Of course.
Nobody expects the giant pieces to be shredded just to be canned!
@@maggiep9007 Apparently, Ben does.
THANK YOU!!!! use every part of the Tuna!!! YES.
I love this guy’s philosophy about using as much of the animal as possible. One of my favorite spots in Hawaii catch their own tuna and deep fry the collars and bones so you can pick out any residual meat and chew on the bones, it’s amazing so there are clearly ways to turn the “garbage” parts of food into amazing dishes.
I can't believe I actually saw the whole video, it was suggested to me, I'm not a chef or anything but I found it REALLY interesting the process of cutting the tuna, he certainly is a master of his profession and he explained so well, thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Talented Butcher!
His narration is phenomenal 🐟🔪
Amazing to see the passion and efficiency of this chef. There is so much knowledge, skill, respect for the ecosystem and customer experience! I am both inspired and hungry all at once. 😁👍🏼
I like the collar and the belly of the fish. So good!
They really did the spongebob news fish like that
This is insanly satisfying.
This is literally the best tutorial that I have seen, amazing explanations!
An absolute joy to watch. Mad respect.
Gotta do elk/caribou next
MrMorganwatch yes!! And rabbit!!
I love the minimum wastage and humane killing here, great cooking philosophies
You didn't even see the killing...
Jozsa Stienen the mere fact that its head was detached neatly is an indication✌
Sakinah Ibisomi yeah true thanks ;)
Humane killing?
