The right way to kill a fish

The most popular way to kill fish isn’t great for the fish - or our taste buds.

Most fish die the same way - slow suffocation in the open air. It’s easy for fishers, but it causes fish tons of stress, and floods their bodies with chemicals like cortisol, adrenaline, and lactic acid. Those chemicals make the fish taste bad, smell “fishy,” and rot quickly.
But there's a better way: a four-step Japanese method called ikejime. It involves sharp knives. And a brain spike.
We adapted this video from Vox’s Future Perfect podcast, which goes much more in depth on ikejime: www.vox.com/future-perfect/20...
Cat Ferguson wrote a detailed article on the process at Topic: www.topic.com/how-to-kill-a-fish
This article about fish and pain from the Smithsonian informed reporting: www.smithsonianmag.com/scienc...

This is a low cost feature if adopted massively and could provide freshiness flavour for days.

On the Vox podcast I think he said he worked as a commercial fisherman in college. He's actually a healthcare lawyer, and until recently worked for HHS. Pretty nice CV.

Suffocating a fish is not “the most common” way in my experience. Most people either knife them or give ‘em a good whack on the head.

[@junahn1907]

Does one execute the Ike Jime method immediately upon landing the fish? I would think that would be difficult or even illegal given the circumstances. At least in Maryland, doing so, I think, would fall under "mutilation" if they are caught offshore. DNR requires the fish to be intact for inspection. Is my understanding incorrect?

Nice to see a video like this not massively downvoted. It's good to have a healthy relationship with death & sustenance, and modern consumers seem to forget these two concepts walk (/swim) hand-in-hand (fin-in-fin (hand-in-fin?
