Especially when you know their knives can cut through your bones

Out of all the other Japanese youtubers that i have seen you are the only who is dedicated to his work and always improving and not sticking to only reacting videos that you. Ganbare.

[@jackie135]

Yuya getting excited while unpacking his knives was the best thing 🤭 And also your plating doesn't looks so bad. It was actually nice ❤️

[@Dyaxos]

The flat fish is refered to has "sole" in English. It's not the most common fish to eat but we do eat it!

[@philschaefer4651]

I'm really enjoying these cooking videos, thank you. I've recently started learning how to cook various Asian foods and I find Japanese to be some of my favorites just for the simplicity of the recipes and cooking methods. Regarding your question about fish, I live in Alaska, so lots of salmon, especially coho (silver), sockeye (red) and of course chinook (king). We also eat a lot of halibut, which is a type of flat fish. Most of the smaller flounder type flat fish get exported to Japan. Pacific Cod and pollock are also popular. I make cod by seasoning with salt, pepper and dill, then breading with panko and frying. I eat the freshwater grayling when I'm camping on the river occasionally too. Also, I didn't know about powdered dashi, I've been making my own using kombu and flaked bonito every time.

[@sleepinglotus09]

In the Philippines, we also eat flat fish. Here are some of the popular fishes: Milk fish, tilapia, mackerel, red snapper, grouper, anchovy, yellow tail fusilier, yellow fin tuna, big eye tuna, and tawilis (which is now endangered huhu). We also like parrot fish, but since I learned that they are saviour to coral reef, I don't eat it anymore. I miss fresh seafoods in my country huhu. Everytime I go home, I only eat fresh seafoods haha especially sea grapes, eucheuma (guso), and lukot (sea hare eggs).

[@isanamiisanami6184]

Yuya :) Uncle Roger is going to say "Nephew Yuya have name on wok? FUIYOOOOOH!" I really ♡ the craftsmanship skill of the writing on the wok and knives. ♡ ♡ ♡

[@SeaCryptWeave]

that fish is described as 'flounder'. and all across usa i have never seen it offered oh wow i love miso so much! i am excited to add this to my repetoire! and ty for sharing 2 cutting techniques. we're sending you back into the algorithm! thank you for this content! i am so excited to enjoy this content! and i wish you great fortune!

[@sheilnaicker5726]

Yuya's knife skills are on point.

[@KanemotoKeoki]

Honestly, beside the mistake with using the full length of the cutting edge, it looked really good. Very satisfying to watch and the result is mouthwatering. Funny you should ask about flatfish, we have three different ones we eat. One of which wasn't that popular locally, but fishermen saw opportunity when the Japanese showed interest in the fish (limanda limanda to Japanese limanda aspera (sorry I'm better at the latin names than Japanese)). I think generally for all three (bot, schol, schar) we usually season the fish with basic salt before coating it in flower, what you use for bread. Then bake in a pan, mostly served with potatoes and vegetables. I almost forgot another fish, one we call tongue, that's usually the prefered fish in restaurants I think. I never buy it, I'm not sure what kind of soup we make with it but I know we do. Long story short; 4 types of flatfish for the Dutch.

[@Seshoo]

hey yuya great video, I'm learning a lot from you. One suggestion I have for you is that you put a damp cloth under your cutting board to stop it from sliding around. As a chef myself, it's a little bit of a safety thing and just good general practice, even at home. Thank you so much my friend, I look forward to the kimchi fried rice :) By the way, I love the look of your knives there. I also have a set of Japanese cooking knives and they are fantastic :D

[@Colt_Pixie]

I'm still working on my omelettes... I always enjoy these cooking tutorials. Thank you Yuya-sensei!

[@ethanquirk28]

Well as all the great chefs say, the way someone makes an omelette is the greatest insight into their skill as a cook. Its a solid thing to work on, you can learn a lot of lessons from it

[@MandaDene]

I live in West Virginia, and salmon is definitely the most popular fresh fish at the store and at restaurants. Tilapia and tuna are also common. Some people also catch trout and catfish from the river.

[@stephaniehuie9005]

I see and respect your sashimi slicing technique, starting at the back of the blade near the handle and ending near the tip. I’m sure you’ll enjoy eating the results of your practice!

[@fabiolas.mattei3090]

In Puerto Rico you can eat chillo (red snapper) or dorado (mahi mahi) pretty much on every seafood restaurant. We eat it "al ajillo" which is a sauce mostly of garlic, butter, olive oil, oregano and other herbs to taste, or fried, with a side of tostones (fried flattened green plantains) or mofongo (fried mashed green plantains with oil and garlic, or breadfruit).

[@HrHaakon]

Yes, we eat a lot of flatfishes in Norway. Halibut (kveite), plaice (rødspette), flounder, monkfish (if that counts, called "breiflabb"), and a few more. As for what fish is popular, salmon is quite popular, but so is cod (salted or smoked are my favourites), the flatfish mentioned above, haddock, coalfish, the common ling, herring (especially around christmas. Northern Europe has a rich tradition for pickling herring), mackerel, and probably a whole bunch that I forgot.

[@suprhomre]

A chef's knife is his pen and the kitchen is his office. As a chef myself i really understand you joy and enthusiast. Great video. I learned a lot.

[@aurorarosacia6534]

Wow, new wok and personalized knives!👌 We shall wait for more of your cooking videos using your new acquisitions😍

[@torii1142]

I wish I could go to a Japanese restaurant and when I walk in that I see Yuya cooking and slicing sashimi or something. Usually when I eat fish I eat mackerel and then I eat flounder as a flat fish. I'm not the biggest fan of flounder but I also would love to try different types of fish from Japan or somewhere. Thank you for these cooking videos, they are really nice so please keep doing more :)

[@sharmac2504]

Japanese people have such superhuman impossible standards, I think it looks beautiful and professional.

[@mateuszturski133]

Hi usualy I don't write comments, but I must say that your videos are amazing :D Thank you for showing how Japanese food is made. Flat fish in Poland is called Flądra, or Halibut

[@bearefoot1384]

Yuya, your cutting skills look fine to me. I can't cut a straight line with a guide to save my life!! LOL Love how honest you are about everything you do, we need more of that around here!! As for fish in the local area, they seem to like catfish or bull heads. Um, back home it was what ever was caught fresh that morning. Still catching up on you videos!! Stay Cute My Friend.

[@kevinjongerden4028]

dude i,ve been cooking as a chef all my life, and i watched your videos for a while now for your reaction videos. (i forgot to subscribe before, but i just did). seeing you cook brings a smile to my face. :) greetings from the Netherlands!

[@Jordoru]

In the UK the most popular fish is either Cod or Alaskan Pollock, very similar in flavour and texture... we would either use breadcrumbs or batter to coat the fish.

[@astridross2989]

we do eat flat fish in Denmark. Usually we cover it with breadcrumbs and then fry it.

[@Zalamx]

In the east coast of Canada we eat a lot of Halibut, Cod, Mackerel, Herring and Atlantic Salmon. I'm sure there is more but that's what I can remember off the top of my head.

[@mu4990]

Yes, here in Florida (and the eastern US) we call the flatfish, Flounder. On the west coast, they have a much larger cousin to the flounder they call Halibut.

[@masaomemenews7731]

Commonly in Indonesia we eat snapper, mackrel and milkfish, Salmon is very expensive here. Love your video and looking forward your another cooking lesson Japanese cuisine.

[@michaelpowell528]

In the UK we have a few types of flatfish, eg. Plaice, Sole, Flounder, Halibut and Dabs

[@GSonXLD]

Flounder or plaice are two common flatfish in Britain. Your two new knives look amazing.

[@foodogslove2588]

The food looked amazing as always, so tasty, so beautifully executed and well explained. A little slice of Japan in my own home....I’m happy! 👍🏼😊🇯🇵

[@lucussrear3507]

I love seeing yuya cook and love seeing him unbox stuff. Amazing video.

[@hrvoje6071]

flat fish is olive flounder (bastard halibut). in the western world we generally eat it deep fried in a batter with chips (french fries) on the side with tartar sauce.

[@nedsherman4352]

In America there are a few types of flat fish we eat but the most common at least on the east coast is flounder and i love eating it myself and its really fun to go fishing for as its not too hard to catch and you can find them in rivers or the ocean depending on the time of the year. It can be a little tough to fillet and cook though.

[@TheBeezleDude]

I'm very impressed with the new knives! Amazingly crafted! Thank you for another awesome video too, it's always an honour to watch your videos and have you share your culture with us!

Here in Florida flat fish is called flounder. I like to use it for ceviche.

[@excelsiorx]

[@permaculturepagan3483]

I enjoy your cooking videos! The knives are beautiful. We butcher our meat and process ourselves so a good knife is very valuable. Your steam bun inspired me to make a version for Thanksgiving with garlic bun and mashed potato and Turkey filling. Never made a steam bun so hopefully they turn out.😊

[@Nosferatu1022]

Talapia, cod and tuna are all very popular where I live (IL, USA). I enjoy surf fishing for grunt fish, which is an ocean whitefish.

[@blafhoest]

As a former chef, I just wanted to say I really like your knives.

[@Ais4Drew]

My goodness those knives are gorgeous! Amazing video as always.

[@anitajagieo3552]

If it's the same what I think, in Poland we have something like a flat fish. We call this "Flądra". One of the most popular dish on sea towns is a fried Flądra (flat fish) with chips and some salad. I love your channel btw Yuya-san!

[@2WheelsGood.01]

You're too humble, that looks amazing! Where I grew up in the Colombian Caribbean coast, the most commonly consumed fish are the Mojarra and Robalo (Snook). Usually deep fried whole and served with coconut rice and fried plantains. They will sometimes substitute the plantains with boiled Yucca, served with sour cream. For beverage they typically serve "agua de panela". It's a very sweet beverage made from cane sugar blocks diluted in water with some lemon juice, highly caloric.

[@7jkryu971]

Where I live we do sell different types of fish but the only common fish most people buy is snoek, Hake and Yellow tail, sometimes salmon also. But either than that, that dish looks so amazing and healthy to try.

[@Sombre_gd]

We have flat fish in Baltic Sea (european flounder, Latin name: Platichthys flesus). Some people very like it. We do usually serve it in Poland in flour coating and fried. Served with french fries.Very popular dish in restaurants near the sea.

[@jimcour291]

we don't eat so much flat fish in Canada BUT in Britain, where I was trained as a chef, Dover Sole is a very popular flat fish.

[@lalchhanhimapautu8935]

[@MrIagainsti120]

Haddock and swordfish are my favorite.

[@jefforymitchell5697]

We have flat fish in New Zealand, it's called the New Zealand Sand Flounder. It's never eaten raw however. The main way of eating it here is by battering and deep frying it.

[@zAsKaA]

In finland common fish species we eat are salmon, perch, zander, pollock and whitefish

[@McRaylie]

In Denmark where I’m currently living, a particular flat fish called rødspætte is really popular battered and fried, and then served either hot or cold

[@danijelavalcic3349]

In Croatia we have different types of flatfish. One type we simply call "leaf".

[@mynameisfrancis4986]

its tasty when fried in flour

In Russia Hirame called Cambala (Камбала) and we eat a lot of it - although not raw, we either fry it or smoke it.

[@TheGarryq]

Turbot, halibut and sole are probably the most common flatfish around the UK. Bluefin tuna is becoming common but now it is illegal to catch any type of tuna in British waters

[@mrmr2217]

In Alaska we have flounder and halibut

[@expressionamidstcacophony390]

To my knowledge, flatfish are mostly oceanic breeds, so they're not really available this far inland. We have freshwater lakes and rivers with some game fish: trout, pike, walleye, whitefish and yellow perch. It's common for them to have overly fishy or muddy tastes though. If we want to eat fish around here, it will probably come from a tin can or a freezer bag.

[@TenerifeCats]

orange roughy is so great! But it is very difficult to find in my area these days, (State of Virginia in the US) Cod & bass are very easy to find and can be prepared in so many different ways. So those would be my favorite fish aside from orange roughy. (Haven't seen a lot of catfish in my area in the last few years either, so that seems to be on the decline too.) We can buy halibut which is a type of 'flat fish' like yours probably. (We can find perch, trout, blue gill and those types too.)

[@ArmandDLirium]

Your knife is awesome... and I can't wait to watch the wok in action. Here in Peru we have many fish, Bonito and also Lenguado (flat fish) here are common.

looks yummy

[@brown7981]

The only flat fish I worked with was sea bream also over in the UK the fish you most likely will see unless going to fish monger is salmon and cod.

[@ethanquirk28]

I’d say in the North at least, haddock is is more common than cod nowadays though. Bass has become quite popular in restaurants too from my experience
