[@MacnByron]

Sushi server here. I’ve worked at a sushi restaurant for 7 years. Many are asking about the “fishy taste” and why you don’t want it, and it doesn’t just have an extremely strong fishy taste, but is also has a slightly strong iron flavor that isn’t similar to the rest. Some people enjoy it and utilize it at home, but normally at sushi places, you are taught (as a chef) that certain cuts of fish are proper for sushi, sashimi, and maki (sushi rolls). It’s just the traditional preparations that require it to be removed.

[@pauldill8368]

I always tossed the bloodline when i lived on the mainland, but here in Hawaii, it’s a lot of people’s favorite part. It’s interesting seeing how different cultures value different flavors.

[@dimasprajoko]

When i cut tuna as steak, i leave the blood line just a bit, as people who dont like them they can get rid of it at home and its less waste for me when i do my cut

Bluefin take a while to sexually mature, longer to breed, and waaayy waaaaaayyyy longer to grow up to the right size to be fished. This is actually the same problem with red snapper (in the pacific) and orange roughy. Overfishing + decades to maturity.

[@dhan1syah]

@@zsation240something i would like to point out is what a “fishy taste” refers to, personally when someone states a certain food is fishy it would already be known as a stinky undesirable smell. Cod, salmon, tuna and plenty of other fishes taste completely different from each other. I do not know a single person who describe the taste any shashimi or cooked fish as fishy. So in many cases or even most cases when someone states “fishy taste” it already means an overbearing smelly undesribale taste. So I find it a little weird how so many people in the comment section dont actually get this and take every word literally instead of figuratively.

Being far away from the sea isn’t really a problem with modern technology. With flash freezing, fish can be caught, broken down and frozen all within a few hours. When you defrost and eat it, it’s like you’re eating it’s a few hours fresh

[@RUGERJONES]

@@djtripp7077 well let me rephrase, I live in a town of 10,000 people we have a wal mart and 2 other little grocery stores. One of these grocery stores will order seafood like shrimp, crawfish, scallops, crab legs but not really seafood like fresh tuna. If you get a pound of fresh shrimp in our town it will cost you like $75! The closest big city is 3.5 hrs away, I live in the boonies my friend!!

[@sir_humpy]

@@RUGERJONES, most of the shrimp, tuna or seafood in general anywhere on this planet comes frozen (IQF) if you're not on the coast. And if your grocery store gets any frozen supplies from that big city of yours at all (ice cream or frozen pizzas) they should be able to add to the frozen order a case of frozen tuna too. It's a good seller and can last in the store freezer for a couple of years without losing in quality. And frozen is less expensive than fresh perishable stuff anyway.
