      @@justinenuesca7460 But why? If you'd just explain it to them, they'd be able to practice how to do it right instead of first having to figure out what to do at all?
      Personally, I see no value in forcing everybody to reinvent the wheel.

    I've watched a dozen videos of how to cut fish for nigiri and shashimi from reknown sushi chefs. And like someone else mentioned, this video did a better job explaining the process. I will be refering back to this video later tonight. After my rice is prepared. Thank you How To Sushi for helping me learn the ways of the blade.

    Thank you! The videos you make really help me to become a better sushi chef at my job. Many people seem to hate telling the techniques or seem to avoid making clear explanations to help me understand. A lot of sushi chefs would rather bully and belittle me, or laugh at me. Instead I will persevere and contribute to ending that kind of cycle.

    Thank you, thank you.... This is the best sushi cutting video that I have found. I like how it explains most situations and why you do it that way.... Not just someone cutting and saying "cut against the grain".... I even learned that there are times that you might want to cut "with the grain" depending on the kind of fish or situation.... once again....THANK YOU! More video's like this please.....😊

      @@sleeksalmon is a great name to appear in a video including salmon! I wanted to say the same: every video says "cut with the grain" and doesn´t explain anything by showing! No video (and I saw many) explains why it is bad to cut with the grain. And your tips about different angles, and about cutting the end piece with the knife blade pointing straight down at the board is something that will definitely raise the quality of the cut!

Most girls wouldnt have necessarily liked it, but my husband was an avid salmon fisherman, and coming from him, It was considered a great compliment...

    • @howtosushi8176
      @howtosushi8176  4 года назад +1

      TheRiceguy78 As long as you understand the knife physics and fish anatomy, any knives will work. But each type of knife is designed to accomplish specific tasks, and always better to pick a proper one to do your job. You’ll feel hard for precision slice of sashimi if you use a chef knife, for example. It’s like drinking wine with a beer glass. You can drink anyway, but it’s always better using a wine glass to feel the sensitive aroma.

      Wild salmon has a risk of parasite. It is better to freeze beforehand to kill them, otherwise you should cook it to safely consume.

    I know nobody will see this and its probally a stupid question, but do you have to cook the fish at all before eating it?

    • @howtosushi8176
      @howtosushi8176  4 года назад

      flopingbird flopingbird Thank you for asking. This is a very common question, especially many people still have hesitation in eating raw fish. Basically sashimi grade fish is meant to be consumed fresh and doesn’t need to be cooked. Some kinds of fish however contain parasites, and there are certain ways to handle them, including searing, pickling, and cutting the surface. It depends on what you want to make.

      freeze a whole salmon, and defrost it before braking down. Or you can filet first, and freeze/defrost one filet each.
