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

[@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. ♡ ♡ ♡

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).

[@sheilnaicker5726]

Yuya's knife skills are on point.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@lucussrear3507]

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! 👍🏼😊🇯🇵

[@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

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@aurorarosacia6534]

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

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.

[@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.😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@Iwakeuptired]

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

Flat fish I think is Halibut, we love to eat it. Frequently fried like tempura.

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@MaverickRiou]

The flatfish you showed looked something like flounder. In my country, we call it a rockfish, not to be confused with the spiny rockfish which has poisoned barbs. My family particularly like cooking it deep fried in a sweet-sour Chinese style sauce or in a sour soup base. Mm. I miss fresh fish. Edit: I googled stuff. Apparently theyre different fish, and the rockfish is the same venomous sort of rockfish. Gdi. I still love that fish, though.

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.

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.)

[@miruku_1504]

I'm craving for sashimi now.. 😋😋

[@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.
