How to Cut Tuna Loin for Sushi ( 金枪鱼寿司)

sushieveryday.com/knives/
This video shows you how to break down a small section of a tuna loin for sushi applications. Typically, restaurants will buy a whole tuna or only the quartered sections. But for home use, there's no need to buy an entire tuna loin. The same technique can be used on all tunas: Yellowfin, Bluefin, Bigeye, and Blackfin tuna.
When you're buying tuna loin for sushi, make sure to look for that bright deep red vibrant color. Fresh tuna should not be brown or dull looking. Also, it's important to ask your fishmonger to remove the skin and the bloodline since these parts won't be used.

f you want to learn more, I have a very comprehensive sushi course on UDEMY with 40+ video lectures. Use this link for DISCOUNTED price: bit.ly/YTPromo10

[@coleweede1953]

Didn't realize how few videos you have. I love your catch and cook style videos.

[@SushiWithDan]

Ha, will try posting more. These videos take a long time to edit

[@chefdamara2712]

You describe about tuna very detail from whole tuna, how to maintain the tuna until into the sushi , sashimi and makimono. I learn a lot from your video as new sushi man. Thank you very much sir! Still waiting for new video 🙏🏻

[@SushiWithDan]

Thanks, more to come

Awesome video, thank you so much! I was struggling with the most sinuous parts, this technique makes it so much easier :)

Awesome! Glad it was helpful

So satisfying

[@JR-kc8jx]

Love your videos, keep them coming. I’m a commercial spearfisherman in North Carolina and can’t wait for summer to try some of your techniques.

[@JR-kc8jx]

PS I and many others would probably love it if you did a catch and prep on Atlantic black sea bass. It is pretty common here. Should I bleed this fish while still alive if intending to use for sushi?

[@SushiWithDan]

Thanks JR, where you fish out of in NC? I love Black bass, use to eat it growing up in NY, its pretty much good any style its prepared. And yes, you need to bleed the fish asap while its alive. Let it sit on ice overnight, and the texture will be better. GL man. I'll be visiting NC coast from time to time, let me know if you ever need someone to pitch in for fuel. Would love to get a few of these for a video.

[@1029saint]

Thanks very much. This is a very informative video. I purchased some tuna, not for sushi, and found the white strands interfered with the enjoyment of the prepared fish. I wondered how they could be avoided next time and your video will help to to discern the best tuna on display. I will look for your other videos

[@SushiWithDan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scottnra]

Thanks for that. This is something I'm trying to get better at. I wish there was a better way to freeze the steaks, and other cuts to last more than a couple weeks. When we catch them, we end up with a LOT of meat. I just wish it was easier to store to use over longer periods of time. Until then, we share a lot!

[@SushiWithDan]

I wish I have that problem, could use some meat in the ice box right now :)

[@rossfreedom7321]

Thanks for the video, i want to try it. I sub.

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

What kind of knife set would you recommend for someone who just cooks as a hobby? I've been looking at Henckels, I got a few for free and was impressed by the quality. It's also the same knife they use in Hell's Kitchen with a wide variety of meats and vegtables.

[@ryan4793]

Thank you for this awsome video, and i just have a question about where can i get fresh sushi grade tuna in general, btw i live in sf.

[@SushiWithDan]

Hey Ryan, not too familiar with SF, but try looking up Marukai supermarkets, they're popular in LA.

[@thallesvr]

Is the wasabi paste indicated in the description of the video the one you like most? Don't you like to use those that come as a powder?? By the way, do you have any good wasabi brand to recommend?? Great video, I'll buy some tuna and follow your cutting procedures too.

[@SushiWithDan]

I prefer Wasabi paste in a tube made by S&B. There are a couple of different products, one even has real wasabi inside instead of just horseradish. GL! If you're interested, I have a sushi course on Udemy.

[@averageasianguy1636]

[@Diane-fy9ns]

I have never eaten raw tuna but it looks so to would try it

[@mikeoxlong2300]

ahhhh this made me so hungry. What average retail stores do you think i could find at least grade 1 tuna at?

[@SushiWithDan]

If you can find a seafood wholesaler that also operates a retail side, you'll have a good chance. If you're in the west coast, look for Japanese specialty supermarkets

[@mikeoxlong2300]

Ok thanks, ill look for one. Also, nice video.

[@Tom-nd1fs]

Is it safe to rub it using the paper towel like at 1:35? It seems pieces of paper can get left on the TUNA.

[@nibblebunny]

quick question. is it worth it to get a sushi rubber cutting boards for a home kitchen? I do own a couple hand made japanese knives, and was debating getting a rubber cutting board over a nice wooden one.

[@SushiWithDan]

nibblebunny Asahi makes smaller boards for home use. Check on Amazon. I think it's a great investment for the long term considering they last for well over a decade. Super blade friendly especially for Japanese profile blades.

[@jeremyhunter2319]

I don't know if I missed it, but the white streaks/layers are sinew, correct?

[@SushiWithDan]

Yes, connective tissues

[@helena-hv4iz]

I was shocked today that my chef doesn’t know how to cut tuna properly! After watching this video, I think I’m now a better chef than him. 😂

[@ironbooze2937]

What's your take on aged fish/tuna? Most people say the fresher the better, but some masters in japan age their fish for some time (tuna up to 14 days! )

[@SushiWithDan]

I typically put my catch on ice overnight before cutting for sushi. If longer, I gut it first. White fish, like snapper, diminish in quality really quick from my experience after several days. Most tuna are frozen or on ice for days before it gets to the market, and has been already aged. For tuna, you definitely want to wait, bc freshly killed tuna doesn't have the right texture.

[@wujim233]

When u wrap the tuna ,What kind paper is it?

[@SushiWithDan]

Parchment paper, regular deli paper

[@eloex]

I hear a doggo going around :D

[@SushiWithDan]

Ha, the doggo might make an appearance later

I'm curious to see him/her! You feed some of the fishes scraps to it? :D

That's the best way! Make sure to age it a day or two before you eat it

Just to let you all know, there is a million/billion dollars market catching this type of fish. With $10-$20k you can set yourself to go and catch big eye tuna fish off california american waters, and make $50k PROFIT a month as a captain! Enjoy!
