$10,000 Tuna at America’s Only Dry Aged Fish Shop

We’ve done our fair share of dry aged fish around here, and it was finally time to go directly to the source and meet the dry aged fish master himself, Liwei Liao / dry_aged_fish_guy
I was expecting some incredible tasting fish but when Liwei told me he had a piece of fish that tasted like beef, I had to see it (and taste it) to believe it.
Big shoutout to Liwei and Joint Eatery ‪@thejointeatery9056‬ for the hospitality, it’s a must-visit if you’re ever in LA!

Max the vids keep getting better and better! Loved this one - keep it up :)

the legend is here! he has returned!!!!

@PokeGamerZ you get a really small brisket

[@KJhaseditz]

Hey guys, you should really collab with chef Adam libby, he's very wholesome and you guys would make a pretty good team.

[@seminky5341]

Annoying kid

[@rinzoshi2907]

Max you gotta show this to Guga his nephew Angel doesnt like sea food it would be interesting to see his reaction to tuna thats supposed to taste like beef, plus when you two get together for a video its like heaven.

[@guyknack]

Max shows him dry aged tuna and guga shows him dry aged angel

[@Jason-tz7ir]

Guga is a fraud...

[@entertheabyss9785]

I think Guga already done a fish like this one and Angel liked it.

[@coleragsdale4827]

@@entertheabyss9785 it wasn't dry aged I don't think

[@haros2868]

He literally ate the best most expensive meat (bluefin tuna) and he didn't like it..

[@ericmueser6950]

It's really incredible just how knowledgeable Liwei is. Truly a man with a calling for his work. What I wouldn't give to spend a month working with him...

[@Percussionists]

Loved this video! awesome change up from the regular type of food you make!!

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

Thank you!

Love these long videos! Please keep them coming ❤️😭

[@kikidffo8963]

Just started watching your long form videos you are a natural on these man I learn alot about cooking from how you speak on these topics.

[@jorget1725]

Honestly Liwei seems so chill and he’s so good at what he doesn’t nothing but respect for him

[@gibsonflyingv2820]

He's a cocky code.

[@Rmm565]

​@gibsonflyingv2820 what's you talking about

[@geennaam1201]

max seems like the kind of guy who just keeps a raw steak in his jacked pockets just to show to people when meat comes up in conversations

[@paulb776]

This was so interesting! I’m a big fan of dry age beef but never tried dry age seafood. I learned something! Thanks Max & Liwei!

[@adambarron4015]

If the turbot and the massive salmon shocked him, I'd love to see Max's reaction to seeing a halibut. Also, I'd love to taste some dry aged halibut. Halibut fresh on the docks at Homer, AK, is still the best fish I've had, and I've had Chilean sea bass.

[@JackTempest94]

In my line of work I once filleted a 102LB halibut. Because I was a newb, I only got like 44LBS of fillets. But it was cool to do.

[@theboringchannel2027]

ever have halibut CHEEKS?

[@oMINCEo]

Awesome to see the Joint on YT. Live around the corner, great coffee shop too.

[@killunova]

Im glad I found your content. I really love your videos

This was such an amazing episode!! Man dry aged tuna u got to love it!!!

🙏

[@nateperry405]

This is the most interesting video you’ve done in a while. Great stuff!

[@elliotb1795]

Well I'm jealous... Dry aged tuna is something I want to try, but haven't been able to yet. I have to make it a belated new years resolution to try some.

[@lizzwilliams6022]

Amazing .... crazy all the things u can do to certain foods !!!

I love this informative video good job bro for real

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

Appreciate it bro

[@Chris.Lester]

Amazing as always max

[@0ddst0ff33]

Imagine spending 2 grand on a fish just for it to taste like a normal steak

[@EncoreBetch]

I’ve been waiting for more seafood content! Tuna is one of my favorites when I’m indecisive between steak and fish 👍

[@riche1601]

I really like this longer styled video

[@MaxtheMeatGuy]

Appreciate it!

[@BladeSaliva]

The bloodline has always been my favorite part of the fish. I've always found it weird that chefs often remove it.

[@josephpotter7776]

I enjoy the fishiness taste as well

[@leoaltivez7161]

Thanks for the vid now I gotta try dry aging anchovies

[@Facuzor]

So this is what Ned did after forgetting all about Peter, huh.

[@Ferrari_Fields]

I’m here before this video blows up! W video! Keep up the grind!

[@austingabel2583]

wish you'd done all the cuts of fish that they grilled!

[@heruhcanedean]

The gyotaku on the wall looks awesome. I wonder if he caught it himself.

[@Hunterwilliams7273]

I used to live in the best place in the world to catch Tyee salmon (Campbell river, BC, Canada) I also played hockey on the local team called the “Tyees”

[@Jamie_seven]

Nice job on this video!

[@soul4music79]

I have got to find a place near me that had dry aged steak or tuna, that sounds incredible!Actually, I’m almost positive that if I’d never seen your vids I probably wouldn’t have a clue about what it is your eating/preparing, although, I have heard of it. If only NH could get a place that serves actual GOOD dry aged protein. ✌️ 💜🥩

[@darkroverit5532]

I loved this video !!

[@LIONTAMER3D]

Dry aging shark meat is a centuries old tradition in iceland. Dry aging beef outdoors during the winter ("snow aging") goes way back in japan. Dry aging makes ALL meat better.

[@sueledohow]

So blessed to experience this

[@GradyTrim]

I love this guys videos

[@Galiciaandsons]

The J Jonah reaction lol 😂

[@sudhirkumar99]

wow! great video as always.

[@maneeramsoomai3755]

Bro looks like an older Ned from spiderman. Love your work Liwei!

[@philiptornelli3477]

Great video. Just not sure why I would attempt to make bluefin tuna aged or otherwise into a steak. I could maybe understand if it was cheaper but it’s way more expensive.

[@hirotakasugi4891]

I love how he blindfolds. Totally forgot texture between beef and tuna are totally different because of muscle structure so you know exactly which is which

[@exclibrion]

This Tuna looks spectacular

[@MrStupididy]

That montreal season feels like a lincoln assasination

[@zer00rdie]

Not wanting fishy fish is such an American trope.

[@lamo2real]

bro why didnt you try the other two out of the four proteins (medium and leaner tuna)

[@r.slaurent437]

"i can't sell that" sans merci!😵💀😆🤣

[@xvzo7]

Those turbot’s prolly swimmin’ in the ocean like stutututututu

[@pepelaugh420]

In Spain we call it mojama and we only eat it at christmas dinner or new years

[@Virenss4]

Bro, who is your barber? Cause that cut is CLEAN

[@jeanpierre.durrant]

I used to play a lot football/soccer in my younger days. That big tuna looks like my feet, today!! 😆 🤣

[@deardaughter]

Great video bro.

[@rimhellworth8614]

You should meat glue cheap stakes over a more expensive stake then dry age it so that you cut off the cheap stake and save the more expensive one

[@shok7886]

Max the meat guy turns into Max the fish guy 😂

[@farhanredza]

The way he stare at max lol

[@ape1760]

Bro's beard is majestic

[@ericmoberg7679]

Once something is dry aged what is the process after? How long does it stay good for? Or prep right how long?

[@3v3rs1]

Did you bring that steak specifically for the “tastes like steak” shot? Lol

Yea lol

Anthony Bourdain covered this once when he went to Sushi Yasuda, they said they don't use fresh caught fish, it lacks the flavor they want or something

[@jamesheras7067]

Where are those Turbots from? West coast or North Altantic? Or where? Reason i ask, they look like west coasters, but in my experience the west coast have an enzyme that makes them inedible (too mushy and undesirable). What am i missing?
