Thank you again for a fine tutorial video. What type of knife are you using to fillet fish and is single bevel better?

[@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. Thank you so much for watching.😊

[@ceecee7237]

Thank you for the very informative video! My husband goes salmon fishing at least once a year and I am the person who does all the processing of the fish after he gets home. After they are filleted, I roast the body and slide off the meat for salads and salmon cakes. Then I cut fillets to vacuum seal for meals in the future and prepare a brine to use for the portions I will be smoking. I hate to admit it but for almost 40 years we have made sashimi with the salmon we caught that day, thinking that the ocean water and the freshness would make it ok. Thankfully we have never gotten sick, but we no longer want to take the chance and are going to try your preparation method with salmon he caught today, I do have a question about the tweezers you use to remove the pin bones. I have used hemostats for years but I think they can break the bones, so I bought some expensive German made ones that had great reviews. I used them for the first time today and was very disappointed. They have smooth edges, while my hemostat has teeth, which I think grabs better. What do you use? If I could take out pin bones even half as fast as you, it would eliminate the worst part of the process! Thank you!

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

You can find Fish bone Tweezers on AMAZON. Ones made in Japan is a little pricier than others but those are worth the money. But just letting you know that if the fish is super fresh like your husband catch, bones are very very hard to be pulled out. I won't be able to pull those out as fast as I did in the video.😅 Thank you so much for watching.

Can I ask you 2 questions? 1) I read your comments and learned that you suggested better to buy fresh one from showcase. You recommended Atlantic, Scottish and Norwegian. What about sockeye salmon? Are they good for sashimi if I get them from groceries store? I live in B.C, Canada 2) This question is bit edgy in technology. Hope you have info on this and can help. Do you think its safe to sterilize the fish using one of those Ozone Generator for household fruits and veggies cleaning machines with diffuser stones selling on Amazon? Would you recommend that ‘may’ replace the entire salting and freezing process in your video? I saw people use them to clean not just fruits & vegs but seafoods and raw meats..

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I like Scottish salmon most. The flesh is not too fatty and not too lean. But if you can't find Scottish one, Atlantic and Norwegian are good too. If you are making sushi for the first time, I don't recommend sockeye salmon because its flesh is kind of breakable unless it's super fresh. I can't answer the 2nd question because I didn't know the product until today. Thank you so much for watching.😊

I don’t mix water with vinegar. Usually that method is suggested longer time. I just soak for a few minutes since I use straight vinegar. I learned this method when I first became a chef 20 years ago and I use it since then. And I use regular sea salt for curing. It doesn’t have to be expensive one.

This was an incredible video! Question: After 7 days how long can I continue to keep the salmon in the freezer so that I don’t end up eating sushi everyday? Months? Also I’ve seen videos where in the salt process they make a mixture where not only is salt added but they also add dill, lemon zest etc. Would that add flavor to the salmon? Thanks!

They will keep for a while, but I would not keep them more than 6 months even if vacuum-sealed (how I recommend freezing if you have the tools for it).

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Yes, herbs will add flavor to the salmon. But, in Japanese cuisine, we don't use those during preparation process. Instead, we put those on completed sushi and sashimi.

Thank you very much for the comment Betty!! Yes, I always freezes salmon. But I had commercial freezers which are much more stronger than regular freezers. So I did only four days in my restaurant. Even tough I never saw parasites in salmon before , I was taught to do it from all my previous bosses. Wild salmon has higher possibility compared to farm raised salmon. So I always used farm raised Scottish salmon which is healthier than all other farm raised salmon. And salmon is the only fish I practiced this method.

I assume most of Japanese chefs use salt for salmon prep. Salt and vinegar are considered to be key ingredients for preparing fish for sushi. Also you asked if it's edomae. Salmon is not served at traditional edomae style sushi. I don't remember exactly when but we, Japanese, started eating salmon as sushi not too long ago. Thank you very much for watching.😊

Hi , ive been waching a while and seein at you using japanese knive. What knive could you said to new beginner? Swedish popular store knives arnt sharp long enough to cut twice a week sushi. These you are using is high carbon steel i supouse. Im from Norway and have god fish to use but knive is taking meat with when cutting. Tried to cut with bit of water , rice vinegar but it will be to much on the salomon. Nice and well done video. :)

Can we use grapes-vinegar or apple-vinegar? I'm not sure if I can find rice-vinegar in my country.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

If you can't find rice vinegar in your area, you can skip the vinegar part. It's optional. But, please don't skip the salt part. The salt part is crucial.😊

If you freeze the salmon for 7 days, does it matter if it is farmed or wild salmon. I'm concern about the parasites in the wild salmon. Thanks so much!

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Farmed or wild salmon doesn't matter. You have to freeze salmon for 7 days always.

@@sushibykunihiro7534 Great video and advice. Thank You!

[@acerobert7585]

Is there a disadvantage to salting the whole fish before starting the whole process, then just skipping the part when you salt the fillets?

[@elderzombie5615]

Hello Mr. Kunihiro, Is the salt you use for the salt cure have a salty taste/no? And is it ok to freeze the salmon more than 7 days?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Salmon won't taste salty at all. But please do not salt cure for more than 30 minutes. And you can freeze salmon more than 7 days but I suggest you would finish it within a month. Thank you for watching.😊

@@sushibykunihiro7534 if i buy already cutted salmon, is the cure handling process the same? And ist not recomended for raw consumtion?

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

Already cut salmon is totally fine. But you how to ask the store if the salmon is fresh enough to eat raw. Process is the same.
