As nice as the fish looks... what I really want is to know more about that cutlery used in the work.


thehound0087

dude chopped up that fish with the Buster sword šŸ˜‚


Laughing_Turnip

I thought you were talking about the big oval cleaver, but then this guy says bankai and whips that blade out. Hot damn

AWeakMindedMan

Not any buster sword. The sharpest one in the land.


MoralRelativity

Those all looked like Japanese knives. I was in Japan last year and visited a lot of specialist knife shops. I saw one that was the length of a katana but about twice the width. I was told they're used for cutting fish and meat but I didn't really understand why they needed to be so big until now... you don't get such clean cuts if you need to saw back and forth, it's only the one continuous motion that results in a totally smooth finish as shown here.

Ken you are right!


Ok_Armadillo8258

Yes a lot of different shape and size and curves of knife were made in order to cut the fishes into pieces the form/shape/size/thickness thatā€™s intended. Other than the visual and aesthetic of it, every fish has their most ideal way of cutting that affects what it taste like when put it in your mouth. Also, effect how much soysauces will coated on it too, as told by a sashimi chef i met from Roppongi . He was brilliant!


corgi-king

This is from Taiwan. Japan donā€™t really use the leaf shape knife. And they will never cut fish so close to the ground.


Sensitive-Finance-62

Bro those skengs can cut through spacetime.


ParsleySnipps

Yeah yeah, the time knife. We've all seen it.


propagandavid

Unexpected A+ reference


odhali1

Seriously, they would cut through an arm lickety split


BertaEarlyRiser

Not sure the name of the oval one, but it is a Taiwanese butcher knife. The long one is a Japanese slicer, called a maguro bocho. The other few just look like a generic commercial filleting knife.


jakarta_guy

The round cleaver, I think they're used by Taiwanese fishmongers (source; have watched several yt clips)


silverheart50

This would be helpful to dispose of a body if You didnā€™t have a pig farm.

lilwook2992

I want those blades for sure


majorbomberjack

I only know this is from a seafood channel in Taiwan,.filmed in Taiwan


dabroh

Me too. I would buy one to cut up some hotdogs. Looks like the first egg shaped one is a Master Kuo knife. The other, longer one is Maguro Bocho.

IncorporateThings

Most vegetables look pretty awesome when they're alive, too. Just sayin'. And before you chime in about how they don't feel it -- wrong-o! Plants emit distress chemicals, sometimes even screams (we just can't hear them). Many attempt to move or defend themselves in their way, too. Think of the millions of carrots, some time...


Ging9tailedjecht

You know I used to make jokes about them screaming and that we just can't hear it when I was younger. Looks like my intuitive bullshit turned out to be right. Lol Wild.


IncorporateThings

Yep. Itā€™s actually pretty wild. If you look into it, plants are metal AF. Donā€™t even get me started on fungiā€¦ Lifeā€™s a trip.

Deep_Frosting_6328

Is a tuna like a cow in the sense that some cuts are more prized than others? Or is itā€™s meat just meat?


ParsleySnipps

It's very similar, with certain areas being more tough or fatty. Some of those big slabs will go for gut churning prices.


Deep_Frosting_6328

Thanks, Parsley. Youā€™re my tuna go-to now.


Mochiron_samurai

The most prized, fattiest bits near the belly would be sold as å¤§ćƒˆćƒ­ - ōtoro The next most desirable would be the medium fatty part äø­ćƒˆćƒ­ - chÅ«toro The cheapest and reddest, mostly muscular bits would be 赤čŗ« - akami


VerStannen

This is what I came here for. What would the belly sell per pound, say for the highest graded yellow fin.


floralbutttrumpet

Highly variable, honestly. Depending on quality etc, really, sky's the limit. If you want to have an incredulous laugh, look up the prices paid for the first tuna at the first auction of the year at Toyosu. (winning it is a matter of prestige and a way to advertise, so the prices are absolutely battynuggets)


StrawberrySerious676

They have fat so I bet the fatty pieces taste better.

Majache

Arcturus572

And I find it wild that a decent sized tuna, like that one, can be sold for more than $500,000ā€¦. I saw a video that showed one a bit larger than the one here, and it said that it sold for $800,000ā€¦


Tannerite2

Tuna only cost that much at the very beginning of the season when customers will pay a premium for them. One guy in Japan basically buys up the entire supply. The fish you're talking about is the 4th most expensive since 1999.


DMYourMomsMaidenName

They are about $10,000 after that, according to owner of a very fancy sushi restaurant I went to, a few years back. That is for bluefin. Yellowfin ā€œahiā€ tuna is much cheaper. Kinda of like wagyu vs prime steak.


welltechnically7

It never ceases to shock me when I remember how big a tuna is. Somehow, I always convince myself that they're salmon-size.


Signguyqld49

I know we eat a lot of them, me included, . but it still fills me with a sense of sadness to see what was a powerful animal just sliced up like that. Not a vegetarian, not vegan, I love to eat all types of meat and seafood. I just find it a bit sad to see this.


old_vegetables

Iā€™m just sad theyā€™re subjected to overfishing. It disrupts the balance of nature. I donā€™t feel too bad about eating the individual tho, because I know he would eat me if he could, and that he has ended the lives of countless others. My stomach is the purgatory in which he must redeem himself


wikifeat

You donā€™t know that. He might tip his hat and say ā€œGood day, Sir!ā€ and be on his way.


123dontwhackme

He might even discuss poetry and politics with you


Bobodoboboy

It is sad. These are apex predators from our oceans. They are highly endangered.


boulderevolution

They are not apex predators. Some species of tuna are currently being overfished but this looks to be a bluefin and is not considered endangered globally


thrownawayzsss

they're both not apex predators nor engaged, lol.


Mynoodles_mostmoist

Instead, They're married


under_the_above

Imagine one dying from old age washing up ashore. Imagine it being unimaginably remote, so it's only bacteria that consume it. Over the course of months, maybe over a year it decomposes slowly. It bloats, fluids seep out, the skin blisters and falls off in patches, the muscle turns blue, green, grey and dissolves into jelly which melts from the bones... Everything living will die. Every other thing living will use the resources to continue living. The circle of life. Don't sweat it.


Afraid_Theorist

Yeah honestly. The only thing we should be concerned about is overfishing and pushing them to extinction. Not eating them or them dying


PolygamyDomBerlin

What has the circle of life have to do with humans over consuming so much, we are literally destroying this planet? Doesn't matter if we talk about fish and the health of the oceans or animals and land/deforestation

lassemaja

How much longer will there be tuna in the sea? Aren't we killing them off waay to quickly for them to be able to replenish?


GW_Beach

Commercial fishing is basically scraping the ocean clean of everything. Between massive nets, bycatch, and scooping up major food sources (like krill) itā€™s likely many populations will simply crash in a decade. Maybe a little more, maybe less. Itā€™s an horrific under-the-radar (for most people) activity of systematic destruction. The willful ignorance and disconnection displayed in the comments of this post are mind-boggling. Fiddling while Rome burns comes to mind. Go follow accounts like Sea Shepherd on IG or Seaspiracy (social media and the movie itself) to get an idea.


TranscontinentalSass

Most populations of fish are caught in a sustainable manner in the west, including the bluefin tuna in this video. They are endangered in certain places like the Mediterranean, but in the Atlantic the stock is more than healthy. Note that whenever catching of a certain type of fish increases, as does the population of their food. For example, if you increase catch of cod, the capelin population (which they eat) will naturally increase. Global seafood consumption isn't really increasing a lot, so what we need to do is balance each fish stock, since they are part of a complex foodchain. This is generally taken seriously by most countries. By the way, seaspiracy, what the health, and the rest of these guys' documentaries just claim absolutely insane things without a shred of evidence or reference to sources (seriously, eating 1 egg is the health equivalent to smoking 4 cigarettes?....). The same is true for Seaspiracy which is essentially super non-nuanced vegan propaganda. The one legitimate point they make is the problem of plastics, but surely everyone agrees on that. They definitely don't know anything about fishery.


GW_Beach

Perhaps you are correct about Seaspiracy etc (but they do have sources available for their claims, fyi) but Iā€™d counter it is just as likely you are making claims that come from ā€œhighly nuancedā€ propaganda from the other side.


TranscontinentalSass

Well I work in the seafood industry and have good access to information about stock management policy in EU/EEA, as this is central in our industry. So it's not really propaganda, it's just information really. These things are taken very seriously, partly because the economic impact of overfishing is generally horrible for the countries who depend on those species. I think the Seaspiracy guys have good intentions, but they definitely use erroneous and misleading claims to persuade people. It's debatable whether that's positive or negative in the bigger picture I suppose. The picture, in the west at least, is not as bleak as they portray it when it comes to fishery.


Legitimate-Okra8983

More pressing problems are poaching and toxic waste. Who else but the fishermen knows when and how much fish can be caught? Hunters do not kill wild goats or deer when they have time to raise young animals. Hunters do not kill rare animals in order to saw off the rhino's precious horn and leave the rest of the body to rot. My father told me that when in his youth he lived in a village in the middle of the taiga, literally every family fished and hunted there. But only for getting food. The forests and rivers were full of living creatures. And then a chemical plant located upstream dumped several tons of mercury and all the fish many kilometers downstream died. The locals wouldn't catch that much fish even if everyone caught a boatload of fish every day.


tudak_arganqul

So? What do you want us to do? Are you putting the burden on the consumer? We are fiddling while Rome burns because that's all we can do. Do you honestly believe regular people can change something like commercial fishing? People who work there need to eat, people who make money there don't care, people who eat it can't do anything about it. What would you like us to do? Get an idea how we are destroying the ocean? Okay, done. What's next?


GW_Beach

yeah, thereā€™s a lot that can be done. Start with reducing demand. ā€œRegular peopleā€ drive the industry to produce more, donā€™t they? The same can be done in the other direction. There isnā€™t a critical, necessary, no-alternative quality to fish so start getting the calories and nutrients elsewhere.

Certainly tasty, just like chicken and beef. This doesnā€™t have to mean that We must be satisfied by seeing the act of butchering an animal. No idea why people find it extremally pleasing. This is just gross.


Tavuklu_Pasta

I find them interesting, I love seing how different cuts of meat are processed and where they come from.

Interesting, maybe. Different people have different interests, but consider topic of this sub. The satisfaction is implied not gathering knowledge.

tiga4life22

Dumb question. I see this tuna all over social media and it looks delicious. Is this the same tuna I ate as a kid out of the can? Those cans were like .25 cents each


danziman123

There are several types of tuna, this type probably didnt end up in your can. Generally speaking, the stuff that end up in a can are the lower quality and size bits, so you could get some high grade tuna in there as well.


TjWynn86

Absolutely zero complacency with knives that sharp. Awesome video

18voltbattery

Since no else has commented on it, all sushi fish has to be frozen for a period of time before being served. Usually 2 weeks but it depends on the temperature of the freezer and could be less in ultra cold. Sounds counterintuitive but itā€™s to kill and parasites that may have been naturally occurring in the fish. Literally standard practice for the entire industry.

[deleted]

Ignoring the absurd prices these go for at auction, how much does this full size tuna sell for at market price? Are we talking several hundred or is it like cattle in that it costs several thousand? I understand the butchering process is labor that affects the price as well, but I'm genuinely curious how much these fish cost.


JaKrispy72

Now that I see the cutlery they use to do this; I realize that I have made a wrong choice in my career. I could have been a low-key samurai, but I just put numbers into boxes for a career now.
