$10,000 Tuna at America’s Only Dry Aged Fish Shop

We’ve done our fair share of dry aged fish around here, and it was finally time to go directly to the source and meet the dry aged fish master himself, Liwei Liao / dry_aged_fish_guy
I was expecting some incredible tasting fish but when Liwei told me he had a piece of fish that tasted like beef, I had to see it (and taste it) to believe it.
Big shoutout to Liwei and Joint Eatery ‪@thejointeatery9056‬ for the hospitality, it’s a must-visit if you’re ever in LA!

Max the vids keep getting better and better! Loved this one - keep it up :)

the legend is here! he has returned!!!!

@PokeGamerZ you get a really small brisket

[@KJhaseditz]

Hey guys, you should really collab with chef Adam libby, he's very wholesome and you guys would make a pretty good team.

[@seminky5341]

Annoying kid

[@rinzoshi2907]

Max you gotta show this to Guga his nephew Angel doesnt like sea food it would be interesting to see his reaction to tuna thats supposed to taste like beef, plus when you two get together for a video its like heaven.

[@guyknack]

Max shows him dry aged tuna and guga shows him dry aged angel

[@Jason-tz7ir]

Guga is a fraud...

[@entertheabyss9785]

I think Guga already done a fish like this one and Angel liked it.

[@coleragsdale4827]

@@entertheabyss9785 it wasn't dry aged I don't think

[@haros2868]

He literally ate the best most expensive meat (bluefin tuna) and he didn't like it..

[@ericmueser6950]

It's really incredible just how knowledgeable Liwei is. Truly a man with a calling for his work. What I wouldn't give to spend a month working with him...

[@Percussionists]

Loved this video! awesome change up from the regular type of food you make!!

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

Thank you!

[@The4d1]

bro

[@geennaam1201]

max seems like the kind of guy who just keeps a raw steak in his jacked pockets just to show to people when meat comes up in conversations

[@jorget1725]

Honestly Liwei seems so chill and he’s so good at what he doesn’t nothing but respect for him

[@gibsonflyingv2820]

He's a cocky code.

​@gibsonflyingv2820 what's you talking about

[@kikidffo8963]

Just started watching your long form videos you are a natural on these man I learn alot about cooking from how you speak on these topics.

[@phantomarchive]

Love these long videos! Please keep them coming ❤️😭

[@paulb776]

This was so interesting! I’m a big fan of dry age beef but never tried dry age seafood. I learned something! Thanks Max & Liwei!

[@oMINCEo]

Awesome to see the Joint on YT. Live around the corner, great coffee shop too.

[@adambarron4015]

If the turbot and the massive salmon shocked him, I'd love to see Max's reaction to seeing a halibut. Also, I'd love to taste some dry aged halibut. Halibut fresh on the docks at Homer, AK, is still the best fish I've had, and I've had Chilean sea bass.

[@JackTempest94]

In my line of work I once filleted a 102LB halibut. Because I was a newb, I only got like 44LBS of fillets. But it was cool to do.

[@theboringchannel2027]

ever have halibut CHEEKS?

[@purdyfuntimes923]

Damn, that ALL looked delicious Max, I wish I had the palette some people do! Another great video

[@fiftythree]

This was such an amazing episode!! Man dry aged tuna u got to love it!!!

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

🙏

[@0ddst0ff33]

Imagine spending 2 grand on a fish just for it to taste like a normal steak

[@nateperry405]

This is the most interesting video you’ve done in a while. Great stuff!

[@jarrodwalsh6850]

LOVE LOVE LOVED this video ! We all really appreciated you being a bit out of your comfort zone Max. Great content !

[@killunova]

Im glad I found your content. I really love your videos

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

Mama a lot!!

[@Facuzor]

So this is what Ned did after forgetting all about Peter, huh.

[@zer00rdie]

Not wanting fishy fish is such an American trope.

[@Andrew-pc8zn]

fishy taste and smell means it has gone bad or was improperly handled

[@zer00rdie]

@@Andrew-pc8zn In some cases, yes. Still a poor american arguement.

[@EncoreBetch]

I’ve been waiting for more seafood content! Tuna is one of my favorites when I’m indecisive between steak and fish 👍

[@elliotb1795]

Well I'm jealous... Dry aged tuna is something I want to try, but haven't been able to yet. I have to make it a belated new years resolution to try some.

[@riche1601]

I really like this longer styled video

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

Appreciate it!

[@lizzwilliams6022]

Amazing .... crazy all the things u can do to certain foods !!!

This was an awesome episode!

[@snorlax2203]

Fish look incredible!🔥 found you on yt shorts and been watching your main vids. Nice change up from steaks!!!

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

I appreciate it!!

[@LIONTAMER3D]

Dry aging shark meat is a centuries old tradition in iceland. Dry aging beef outdoors during the winter ("snow aging") goes way back in japan. Dry aging makes ALL meat better.

[@BladeSaliva]

The bloodline has always been my favorite part of the fish. I've always found it weird that chefs often remove it.

[@josephpotter7776]

I enjoy the fishiness taste as well

[@Chris.Lester]

Amazing as always max

[@joef8085]

Great video, I’m not massive on seafood but would love to try that tuna

[@nikoapue]

Looks amazing Max!

[@hirotakasugi4891]

I love how he blindfolds. Totally forgot texture between beef and tuna are totally different because of muscle structure so you know exactly which is which

[@heruhcanedean]

The gyotaku on the wall looks awesome. I wonder if he caught it himself.

[@Hunterwilliams7273]

I used to live in the best place in the world to catch Tyee salmon (Campbell river, BC, Canada) I also played hockey on the local team called the “Tyees”

I’m here before this video blows up! W video! Keep up the grind!

[@austingabel2583]

wish you'd done all the cuts of fish that they grilled!

[@bernardsbbq]

Fantastic video, I learned a lot.

[@philiptornelli3477]

Great video. Just not sure why I would attempt to make bluefin tuna aged or otherwise into a steak. I could maybe understand if it was cheaper but it’s way more expensive.

[@soul4music79]

I have got to find a place near me that had dry aged steak or tuna, that sounds incredible!Actually, I’m almost positive that if I’d never seen your vids I probably wouldn’t have a clue about what it is your eating/preparing, although, I have heard of it. If only NH could get a place that serves actual GOOD dry aged protein. ✌️ 💜🥩

[@Virenss4]

Bro, who is your barber? Cause that cut is CLEAN

[@Galiciaandsons]

The J Jonah reaction lol 😂

That montreal season feels like a lincoln assasination

[@leoaltivez7161]

Thanks for the vid now I gotta try dry aging anchovies

[@rimhellworth8614]

You should meat glue cheap stakes over a more expensive stake then dry age it so that you cut off the cheap stake and save the more expensive one

[@ape1760]

Bro's beard is majestic

[@acehighjohn1759]

Really enjoying the non beef vids Sir, beefs great but its over saturated on YT atm imo.

This Tuna looks spectacular

Anthony Bourdain covered this once when he went to Sushi Yasuda, they said they don't use fresh caught fish, it lacks the flavor they want or something

Where are those Turbots from? West coast or North Altantic? Or where? Reason i ask, they look like west coasters, but in my experience the west coast have an enzyme that makes them inedible (too mushy and undesirable). What am i missing?
