    Would you ever consider making a video on knife sharpening and how you keep your knives so sharp?? Thank you in advance and I’m now a subscriber to both this channel and facebook!

    These guys are hugely prized in asian cookery, specifically japanese - eating these boys as sushi or sashimi, or in simmered dishes is absolutely delicious. I wish I could get these consistently to my restaurant - especially ones that are more local.
    Looks incredible.

    I do the same with every fish, fowl, or mammal. At Thanksgiving, for a current recipe, after I debone the turkey take the skeletal frame and simmer it with whole onion, ginger 🫚, and a pinch of salt. You get a wonderful stock for just about anything. ❤❤

    Super cool! Huge eyes to see in the deep, dark! I would love to get my hands on some of this beautiful fish!
    Flesh looks firm and clean and perfect. Amazing the skin can peel right off but obviously unique to cutting off with a sharp knife.
    Gimme those collars though I'm not familiar with the black membrane.
    I do love the idea of simmering the carcass and head for court bouillon.
    Another awesome show, Reed 👍🏻🍻❤

  • @vscfalcon
    @vscfalcon 11 месяцев назад +1

    I believe that black membrane inside the belly ribs is its fat. Think of it as the bacon of fish. Certain cultures, like Filipinos, loooove this part of the fish and will never discard it.
    Tastes best when grilled intact with the fish belly (butterflied and cleaned of innards, of course) over coals.

    • @reedthefishmonger
      @reedthefishmonger  11 месяцев назад +2
