Eating at a Fishing Restaurant in Japan

Dining at a unique restaurant in Japan where you can fish for your food!

I was truly admiring the unique methods used for such a small selection! Everything they chose had me drooling! I couldn't believe the freshness of that food. I never have raw sushi from fear of getting parasites, but something about the way it was prepared looked so delicious. And the way the seafood was grilled, prepared raw, and the bouncy freshness of it... ugh I could go on.

Just as you people are wondering, the fish she caught at 15:20 is called squirefish, porgy or scup in America, snapper in australasia, and red seabream in Japan

[@LiamSSY]

Informative comment

[@jaydenpatterson2490]

Not exactly correct. The fish shown is tai, or red seabream. The other names are different fish. Scup or porgy is Stenotomus chrysops, the Australasian snapper or silver seabream is Pagrus auratu, and seabream, also called red seabream or by its Japanese name tai, is Pagrus major. They are different fish in different regions but in the same family, Sparidae.

[@1810jeff]

It's definitely a lot cheaper now if you're converting from USD to yen. Yen used to be about a penny each but now they're like 70% of a penny so your money would go a lot farther than it would 4 years ago.

[@TannyWanny]

youre paying alot for a gimmick and honestly, it isn't actually 'fresh' fish. they're swimming in their own waste in a small artifical pond. you're paying MORE than if you just went to a fish market, for second rate fish. notice how empty the restaurant is? when fish are kept in unnatural conditions it DOES effect the meat and Japanese people know better, this was built for clueless landlocked tourists.

I took my son to this restaurant a few weeks ago. He got a spiny lobster and I went for the flounder that flounde sashimi was the best I've ever had since it was so fresh. I tried his lobster too just to make sure they did a good job cooking it. This place is legit.

[@RawBlue]

It's crazy to see the price of things as they are shipped across the world. I'm from Maine where lobster are caught, in the summer fishing season was as low as $3.99 a pound, so about $6 a lobster. Off season gets up to $10-12 a pound. Now living in the Midwest at Red Lobster it's about $25-30 a lobster I believe. To see it halfway around the world at $45 is crazy, but it did alot of traveling. Even so, no way in hell is a lobster worth the $45 price tag

[@erzengelchen2830]

You don't want to know what they charge you for (half!!!) a lobster here in Germany ... :')

[@RawBlue]

I’m surprised, I figured Japan would be the most!! Lobster travels to the opposite side of the world to reach Japan, but Germany is only 1/4 of the world away from the source (6 time zones). You guys are getting ripped off in Germany! I would guess it’d be because of trade routes but crossing the sea from Maine to the UK is 5 time zones and it’s already almost to Germany from that point, that’s quite strange to me!

Love your videos and this restaurant idea seems like a lot of fun to eat fresh seafood. I'm glad that the tanks look clean, fairly large enough, and not cramped with fish. Also, fyi Lobsters that sit in tanks can eat themselves/waste away from the inside out over time. That is why at shops you should always weigh your lobster to be sure. Don't be fooled by the shell size, you should always weigh them to get the best deal.
