    We don’t clean yellowfin on the boat, because laws and such, but we usually get the first small blackfin in the slurry real quick and about 30 minutes later someone is turning it into sashimi. Usually have to fight everyone off with a knife to get a bite.

    In the Oahu mosquito fleet lots of us had a rule. The first tuna over 100 pounds was kept, cleaned, and passed out to neighbors and friends instead of sold at the auction block. It was considered good luck. One year we caught our largest Yellowfin ever and the mosquito fleet record for two years standing, at 326 pounds. Tuna that size are rare in Hawaii these days when years ago 400 pounders were common. Our usual first of the season good luck tuna was just over a hundred pounds and easily manageable with two guys at our cutting station in the yard. For this 300+ tuna though, I called a Japanese fishmonger I know and asked what to do.
    He said, “Just hang the fish up by the tail at about head height. You don’t want be trying to roll it around with all that weight. You can easily spin it in the air. One guy cuts the loins off as the other guy catches. Good luck.” So that’s what we did.
    That was so much easier and cleaner than trying to flip that monster with gravity working against us. Trimming the lions on the table, we had some top quality fresh off the boat, fatty tuna to give away. The neighbors were super happy and I ate tuna every day for a week. Not sure about the “good luck” part about giving away a thousand dollar fish though. We didn’t catch another Ahi that year and we never caught one anywhere near that big again. Oh well, our neighbors always watched the house and the dogs while we were at sea.

    as a former commerical fisherman, you should explain why one side has a fin and the other is cut off. the side you want to buy is the finless side as we call it the dry side. the side with the fin is always positioned in the ice or wet side. from the time we catch the fish, cut the head off, the finless side always stays to the dry side of the ice from the time we offload till the time it hits the stores. nice knife work!!!

    Well you made my live easy 😁
    This will be the video material for exam for my 3 new monger 🤣
    One of them just gone through half tuna today but he doesnt seem to get it really well since it was such a busy time, even though it was so early at opening times but it get so busy so quickly he just rushes doing it and i needed a material so they can learn it on video then come exam time, they be ready.
    I cant emphasize to them enough "slow is fast", but too slow is reymond 😏(the other worker "doing" fillet just for tiktok fame and doing it so slow 🤪)
    so thank you for the video 🤭, but also we are starting to have an increase in request to do spanish mack fillet, i wonder if they been watching you about wahoo fillet and such, and getting it perfect during busy hours are just really testing me 😤 especially when the new monger in training keep using my knife and pretty much still clueless about sharpening them
    "oh look a sharp fillet knife... yoink"
    They are so adamant that the knife makes the biggest difference.
    Told them "nah, skill issues 😁"
