How to Slice Fish for Nigiri Sushi 【Sushi Chef Eye View】

[@liuhuang2590]

this video actually explains it a whole lot better than my coworkers that are training me

[@howtosushi8176]

Thank you! Even a experienced chef still needs a continuous practice to be more familiar.

You're fired!

so do i

鎮壓香港統一兩岸,剿滅一切反共逆賊 That’s basically me😂 I just teach them the normal way and just giving them small tips on how to do it easy because i want them to learn by themselves. Im 22 btw and learned how to do it the same way they were learning it.

[@SwissSareth]

@@justinenuesca7460 But why? If you'd just explain it to them, they'd be able to practice how to do it right instead of first having to figure out what to do at all? Personally, I see no value in forcing everybody to reinvent the wheel.

[@jakedimartino1114]

I've watched a dozen videos of how to cut fish for nigiri and shashimi from reknown sushi chefs. And like someone else mentioned, this video did a better job explaining the process. I will be refering back to this video later tonight. After my rice is prepared. Thank you How To Sushi for helping me learn the ways of the blade.

[@Nidhoggrr]

Made nigiri sushi for the first time and I possessed a very limited amount to practice on. Extremely helpful and concise. This will be going into my cooking list for future reference.

[@ryuu__official]

Thank you! The videos you make really help me to become a better sushi chef at my job. Many people seem to hate telling the techniques or seem to avoid making clear explanations to help me understand. A lot of sushi chefs would rather bully and belittle me, or laugh at me. Instead I will persevere and contribute to ending that kind of cycle.

[@pinkeeluvr]

Wow I never knew how much went into cutting the fish! Next time I go get sushi I will definitely appreciate the sushi chefs a lot more. Thank you for sharing!

[@apollyon1081]

Beauty, skill, precision, logic and elegance. Perfection.

[@bourbakis]

Finally I understand changing the angle of the blade at the end of cutting is the key. Ty!

[@dalilas5085]

Out of sudden I feel so hungry looking at this video. Gotta get my salmon and cut them into sashimi! Thanks!

[@sleeksalmon]

Thank you, thank you.... This is the best sushi cutting video that I have found. I like how it explains most situations and why you do it that way.... Not just someone cutting and saying "cut against the grain".... I even learned that there are times that you might want to cut "with the grain" depending on the kind of fish or situation.... once again....THANK YOU! More video's like this please.....😊

[@howtosushi8176]

sleeksalmon Thank you for the cheerful comment. Yes this is what I try to do in my tutorials. Not just the superficial instructions, but more in depth with the reasons and hints behind it, sometimes with the cultural and historical background information.

[@sleeksalmon]

@@howtosushi8176 You are a great teacher....!

[@Apollo440]

@@sleeksalmon is a great name to appear in a video including salmon! I wanted to say the same: every video says "cut with the grain" and doesn´t explain anything by showing! No video (and I saw many) explains why it is bad to cut with the grain. And your tips about different angles, and about cutting the end piece with the knife blade pointing straight down at the board is something that will definitely raise the quality of the cut!

[@sleeksalmon]

@@Apollo440 LOL.... my husband started calling me that thirty five years ago when we started dating..... Most girls wouldnt have necessarily liked it, but my husband was an avid salmon fisherman, and coming from him, It was considered a great compliment... I found it endearing, and we are still together today...... I just love that old fisherman.....LOL

[@harrisonjones1087]

Always wanted to know this. This is the kind of interesting, useful, and straightforward stuff I am looking for when I get on KZbin. Thank you!

[@Forever_Young0212]

Tapeworm is waving ❤❤❤

[@MST406]

Thanks for the simple yet thorough video! Trying my hand at sake nigiri for the first time tonight and this was super helpful!

[@joaoleite8451]

Excellent video, man. Thank you so much for this, will help a lot!

[@Apollo440]

Wow, simply the best fish slicing video on the internet! Could you explain how to prepare mackrel for sushi? I saw a video, but it was in Japanese. The fish is salted, then washed, then soaked in mirin or sake (i don´t know for how much time).

Thanks

[@sahaleyterrell1946]

Is it okay to do this to freshly caught salmon? If I catch it in the creek outside my house is it safe?

[@howtosushi8176]

sahaley terrell Wild salmon has a risk of parasite. It is better to freeze beforehand to kill them, otherwise you should cook it to safely consume.

[@sahaleyterrell1946]

Thank you:)

[@TheRiceguy78]

Does it matter if i use a yanagi, sujihiki or chef knive?

[@howtosushi8176]

TheRiceguy78 As long as you understand the knife physics and fish anatomy, any knives will work. But each type of knife is designed to accomplish specific tasks, and always better to pick a proper one to do your job. You’ll feel hard for precision slice of sashimi if you use a chef knife, for example. It’s like drinking wine with a beer glass. You can drink anyway, but it’s always better using a wine glass to feel the sensitive aroma.

[@TheRiceguy78]

You so much that explained a lot to me

[@christianpinto5671]

Masterful!

[@flopingbird882]

I know nobody will see this and its probally a stupid question, but do you have to cook the fish at all before eating it?

[@howtosushi8176]

flopingbird flopingbird Thank you for asking. This is a very common question, especially many people still have hesitation in eating raw fish. Basically sashimi grade fish is meant to be consumed fresh and doesn’t need to be cooked. Some kinds of fish however contain parasites, and there are certain ways to handle them, including searing, pickling, and cutting the surface. It depends on what you want to make.

🥂🍾 Wow

[@Mark-yl6jn]

do u freez salmon before serving and slicing?

[@howtosushi8176]

Halloween Jack freeze a whole salmon, and defrost it before braking down. Or you can filet first, and freeze/defrost one filet each.

[@r.fantom]

Salmon???

[@RylanStorm]

I'd just like to know how a mere mortal can actually buy salmon suitable for this without having to spend an absolute fortune buying more fish than is necessary.

[@Skooz]

Farmed salmon from Costco is decent quality, but you have to salt cure it yourself before consuming.

[@jessesotelo5349]

Nigiri too long and stretching thumb has to be in the end or try use 4 finger salmon doesn't stretch

[@benkim9020]

[@dat1kidfromyesterday]

Terrible thumbnail. Great video.

[@highnoon9228]

The music is so wack

[@veezyloco3759]

I cringe watching your finger placement when you're cutting for nigiri..

[@mdbourhanuddin3401]

When you are cutting the nigri fish is broken why? I would say you not chef. I'm sorry. Thanks
