I love your videos. You are a good teacher. I tried your method for preparing salmon and just served it last night. It turned out beautifully! Best salmon nigiri I have ever made and I’ve been practicing for a while. Can’t wait to try the Saba and the red snapper! Please keep it up.

Great video, I live in Costa Rica and this is one of the few fish we have for sushi Thanks for the details like salting for 10 minutes not rinsing but just towel dry..... I will be using your tips on my next snapper sushi.... You would think Costa Rica would have a good fish selection for sushi but it does not. Also forget about finding a true sushi bar in Costa Rica. Must do it at home or go hungry!!!

[@chaym013]

Hi there, I really enjoyed your video, and I learnt so much from you. I have a quick question for you, with the salmon sashimi video you mention to keep it in the freezer to kill the bacterias before eating it. With the red bream we don't need that process, is it mean I can prepare it straight after I got it from the fish shop?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Please don't freeze sea bream. If you freeze it, the texture becomes really bad. I suggest you would buy a farm-raised sea bream. Those are parasites free. Thank you.😊

[@chaym013]

@@sushibykunihiro7534 thank you for your replied, appreciated ❤️

[@ahmetfarukerhan9636]

Great video.Thank you for sharing with us.However I have a question.Do we have to freeze the snapper beforehand or is it ok.to just clean and gut it right from the boat.Tx.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I never freeze snapper. Once it's frozen, the flesh becomes really soggy. The flesh of the snapper is translucent. So you can find parasites very easily if the fish is infected by them. By the way, the one I used in the video is farm-raised snapper, and I never found a parasite in farm-raised fish.

[@LouieLouie702]

With a Gyuto. Wow. Thank you Chef!

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I always use Gyutou to fillet fish. 😊

[@imane867]

Hello Chef, could you please make a video on fish safety for sushi. Here are a few questions that we really can't find straightforward answers to: 1)Does Red snapper have parasites ? 2)If it does how long and what temperature should we freeze it ? 3)How to make tuna safe for sushi? 4)What are the seafoods that are parasite free and could be consumed raw without worrying about anisakis or other parasites?

[@AWDYDOOD]

1) red snapper and other sea bream varieties are not prone to parasites; just make sure where you get them is from a place with clean water so there are no toxins 2) you don't need to freeze them as there is no risk of parasites 3) tuna also has no parasite risk, as long as the fish is from a good source you can eat them raw without freezing 4) www.fda.gov/media/80748/download

[@Drejkol]

@@AWDYDOOD Tbh, almost every sea fish has parasites, those are just not harmful to humans and die at the contact with our body temperature. Not really a sea example, but the best one are Salmons - just get fresh Salmon from your local fish store and check it under the microscope - if you are living in the bigger city, you can take it to the Bio or Chem districts at your local University and they will happily let you use theirs and even set everything up for you to just see how your fish is literally dancing. Parasites are one thing - you can't see them so it's just extra proteins - but the worse stuff are the microplastics. That said, while we all love sushi and raw fishes, it's recommended to cook your fish anyway. It melts the microplastics and makes them easier to be removed from our bodies the "natural way".

13:25 *Is this the point were I should wrap the fillets in Kombu for a couple days?* _(I use the 'kombu-jime' wrap for almost all my sushi fish)_

[@cyrilbenet3086]

Hello, I'm french cooker and I like the way you explain your art : clear and understandle. Make a perfect Nigiri (shaping the rice) is not a easy thing. Please, what is the brand of your knife and what do you think about Deba knife. Thank for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

The knife that I use in most videos is Ikkaku Donryu Molybdenum Gyuto 210mm (8.2"). You can buy it from mtckitchen.com. This knife is good for filleting fish, slicing fish for sushi and sashimi, and cutting sushi rolls. It costs about $60 us dollars which is very reasonable for this quality knife, so the knife is really popular among sushi chefs. Plus, this knife company sharpens knives once after productions to give us clear guidelines for sharpening the knife. Please check the website. They will explain better. And about Deba knife, I don't use it much anymore. Only time I use Deba is when I cut heads in half and cut thick, strong bones. That's it. Old fashioned sushi chefs stick to deba, but not me. I pick whatever the easiest to fillet fish. Thank you for watching my video. Have a wonderful day.😊

[@vic_0315]

Was that knife you were using single-beveled or double-beveled? Great video and very detailed instructions btw!

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

It's double-beveled. I feel more comfortable with double-beveled knife when filleting fish.

[@vic_0315]

@@sushibykunihiro7534 thanks for the response!

I may be wrong but the knife used for skinning and slicing fish at the end was single beveled I think

I should try red snapper nigiri with the shiso leaf. Question, so for red snapper’s pin bones basically just sliced it off near the middle area? Is it same case for all red snappers?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Yes. But if they are small fish, you can pull the bones out. Fish less than 2 lbs, you should be able to do it. Shiso leaf goes with any white fish. So please try. 😊

[@Hodasyahmi]

Removing the fish scale using plastic is a new tips for me 👍🏻👏🏻

[@BLOOSHT]

Hi - beautiful work!! Do we have to freeze the fish for a week before?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

No, you don't. Whitefish meat becomes very soggy once it's frozen. Also, since white fish flesh is transparent, it's very easy to find parasites if there are any. I used farm-raised snapper in the video. And I never found parasites in those before.

[@dundomaroje4202]

Great video. I was wondering if you could tell me if i need to freeze wild sea bass before preparing it or no i often go fishing but I have no experiance with raw fish.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

It's safer to freeze it, but once you freeze it, the flesh of white fish becomes really soggy because of its low fat content. If you often fillet fish, I think you already know what parasites look like. They usually live around rib cage( the flesh of white fish is transparent, so you should be able to find them easily.) So if you don't see any of them, you can eat it raw without freezing. We never freeze white fish before eating it raw in Japan. Thank you for watching.😊

[@trevormenezes2271]

Kunihiro what type of knife have you used for fileting the fish?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I use Ikkaku Donryu Molybdenum Gyuto 270mm (10.6"). You can buy it from mtckitchen.com if you live in the U.S. It's an excellent knife. The price is very reasonable too for this kind. I recommend one size smaller if you are only using it at home.

Ikkaku Donryu Molybdenum Gyuto 240mm (9.4") is the knife I use for filleting the fish. I don't remember the brand name of the other knife, which I used for slicing the fish. It's nothing fancy for Yanagi knife. I spent only about $100.00 for that knife. If you are interested and live in the U.S, you can buy it at mtckitchen.com.

[@tktkwei]

Hi, are you in the US? Where did you source the sea bream? I went to Tokyo central, they have the New Zealand one. Looks fresh(very clear eye) though, but they say it’s not sushi grade.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

New Zealand snapper is usually good for raw consumption. If you go to other Japanese grocery stores like Nijiya, they sell New Zealand snapper good for raw consumption.

[@blimy01maynard30]

Do you need to freeze red snapper to prepare it to be sushi?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

You don't need to freeze it. The flesh of red snapper and any other white fish is transparent. So it's very easy to find a parasite if there is any. Of course, It's safer to freeze it. But, because of the low-fat content of white fish, the flesh becomes very soft and soggy if frozen once. I recommend a farm-raised one if you are still scared of eating it raw. I've never seen any parasites in farm-raised snapper. Thank you for watching.😊

[@NovitePride]

Hi chef, what length are your moribashis?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Those are 30cm long including handles. 😁

[@Outdoor-Adventures]

Why do you remove the scale when you gonna throw the skin anyway?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

When cutting fish with big and hard scales, I recommend removing scales first. Because the blade of your knife slips on scales and you get a big chance of cutting your finger deep, especially if you are a beginner. Also, by removing scales first, you can keep your cutting space clean. We, Japanese, believe that is a lot more hygienic. Thank you for watching.😊

How do you know that your fish is clean without parasite?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

The flesh of white fish is transparent. So you can find it easily if there is any. Plus, the one I cut in the video was farm-raised sea bream from Japan. Usually farm-raised fish doesn't have a parasite.😊

[@LaRazaRacism]

Great video. But just checking. Doesn't the fish need to be frozen first to kill bacteria and parasites?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I never freeze sea bream when I eat it as sushi or sashimi. Once it's frozen, meat gets very soggy and less flavorful. Even though I never found any parasites in it before, it should be very easy to spot them since meat is kind of transparent.

[@LaRazaRacism]

Did you freeze the snapper?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

No, I didn't. I never freezer white fish. Once freezing, the flesh becomes really soggy. The one I cut in the video is farm-raised from Japan. So it never had parasites. If you cut wild ones, you have to be more careful with parasites.
