I was always told, living in sea-less country, that logistics is the primary reason for fish spoiling faster than other meat. Though eventually I learned that we get corn from America, wheats from Africa, pork from Spain while actually having few local "sea fish" sources (grown in factory-like things), the theory was quite weak even before watching this video, but only now everything clicks logically. So thank you for putting it all together!

The fact the fish-counter at the supermarket always stinks is why I always buy frozen fish. You're buying a food item that has already started decomposition, even if those smell chemicals are technically non-harmful. Having it frozen doesn't affect the flavour or texture and you proved that by advocating for freezing it in your fridge with that convoluted method.

I put the fish fillets I catch myself into a bag and top it up with water then freeze it because I don’t own a vacuum sealer or anything like that. It at least prevents freezer burn. Then I just thaw it back out.

This explains a lot why the Japanese care about freshness of fish so much they eat it raw right after filleting (sashimi) or after slightly heat-rendering it (tataki). They just don't want it to turn bad. This is also why you can buy living crabs or scallops in Japanese supermarkets (even though smaller fish shops are probably better if you know where to find them, I was probably in too big of a city and too lazy to do so) - not only they taste better fresh, they last longer too!

The spoilage factors can be controlled to “dry age” fish at home reasonably easily by freezing it. This works for cold water fish more since you aren’t shutting down all the microbes all the way allowing for the aging process to happen. The freezing in this case makes it easier to control the flavor profile because the age flavor accumulates slowly enough to select for certain flavors. Also, even though biologically fishes are cold blooded, culinarily speaking, there’re fishes that are considered warm blooded(eg. tuna, swordfish, marlin etc). The reason why it’s considered warm blooded is the ability to spontaneously generate warmth for quick bursts of energy. Those fishes are ok for the fridge but not exactly as long as other meats.

I only buy fish that is still frozen. Many suppliers can process and freeze the fish right on the boat and if not that they do it at the docks. And even the fresh fish at the store was frozen at some point in the supply chain. More accurately it’s pre-thawed, not fresh. Unless you live right at the shore you probably don’t ever get fresh fish.

Here's something you might be interested in with regard to fish. 30+ years ago I used to do fly fishing for Trout. I'd catch my limit of three fish, take them home and my mum (RIP) would cook them that evening. The Trout tasted wonderful. My father (RIP) was a marine biologist. Now he told me something decades ago that I remember to this date and refers to freshly caught and cooked fish. _"When a fish is caught and out of the water, within 24 hours most of the sugars in it's muscles have started to turn into starch. Freezing it just slows that process down. It won't stop it. So the fresher the fish, the better it tastes."_

@@MinuteFood I will also add that these methods do work by depriving bacteria of their necessities to live. (PH, moisture/water, and oxygen) without the use of temperature to kill the microbial pathogens. Cold smoking is used in conjunction with curing/salting to deprive both water and oxygen from the meat of the fish because the smoke will form a barrier around the exposed meat during the smoking process. Hot smoking does this, but also uses temperature to kill microbial pathogens. Canning both cooks the meat for a short time, but most importantly, it deprives the environment of oxygen away from the meat allowing for it to not only be shelf stable, but also prevents spoilage. Pickling deprives the bacteria of oxygen by keeping the meat immersed in a liquid with a PH below the point for most bacteria to thrive and slowly kills the bacteria in the meat. But the one bacterial pathogen that is resistant to most, if not all, these methods is clostridium botulinum (botulism) this can survive, or even thrive, in low oxygen environments, so nitrates or nitrites are added to inhibit its growth. Pickling and cold smoking do not do a good job of killing parasites that are commonly found in some fish, so it is required to deep freeze some fish species for a certain period of time at or under a specific temperature (an example being one week minimum of freezer temperature at or below -4°F) before using the fish in those applications.

there are some interesting “historical” type videos on pre-refrigeration, pre-electricity, pre-freezing technology methods of commercial fishing and how they preserved the fish for long periods. And yes, they used all those methods. Saw a real good one from Townsends historical channel one time. And the Norwegians and or other Scandinavians had this one method where they were able to salt, hang on poles, and dry tons, literal tons, of fish and it allowed them to preserve it and eat it months later. Like, “fish jerky” lol. The pre-refrigeration preservation methods are a fun “dive” into the history “corner” of youtube if you consider yourself a history enthusiast! Some of those methods seem so gross to our “modern sensibilities” but they worked! Salt salt salt and more salt.

One additional reason I've heard sited is the harshness of some methods of catch. Something like trawling can cause the fish to be crushed under all the mass while still alive and thrashing for its life, accumulating stress hormones and injuries in the process. There could also be a longer delay between the fish being gutted and exsanguinated compared to meat production, where the blood is generally drained right away. Pretty sure I've seen/heard fisherman explain that when fish is gutted and drained straight from the water, the meat lasts way, way longer (which is obviously easier in small scale).

All food oils and cooking oil are forms of fat of course, and all oils and fats contain fatty acids. And there’s fatty acids considered healthy and there’s fatty acids considered unhealthy. Thus unsaturated fats versus saturated fats. Well that’s about all I know you’d have to do some more in depth research reading and or watching stuff that the nutritional biologists and food scientists have published over the years if you want more detail but yah, basically, technically, any food that contains a “fat” also contains a fatty acid and therefore could be thought of as “acidic”. And therein lies “the rub”. Because that is not what they mean. Over the past decade there has been this health food trend and now saying that something is “acidic” in relation to food is an over-used “buzzword” for supposedly unhealthy stuff. When in fact, many many many healthy foods definitely HAVE acids in them. Healthy fatty acids.

So, thus, therefore, you can also have an unhealthy, delicious fried food or healthy, delicious fried food if fried in a “healthy oil”; but alas, most fried foods are unhealthy because healthy stuff like coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oils and such healthy oils are NOT what is used for most fried foods. Certainly not restaurants.

OR: Buy your seafood frozen. From what I understand, most seafood is frozen onboard the vessel where it is landed, meaning it's going to be fresher than fresh fish. Also, if you aren't purchasing fish local to a body of water you could drive to on a weeknight, odds are it came into the megamart/fishmonger frozen anyway and they just pre-thawed it for you.

the moment you froze almost any fish it lost all characteristic flavor and its mostly a tasteless mush. My understanding of fresh fish is 2 max 3 days after killing it and store it at 2-4°C.

The way most commercial fish is killed is the primary reason why fish goes bad very fast. Suffocation is the most common method of killing fish as it is the most efficient and low cost method for large scale fishing. Suffocation causes bad chemicals to build up in the fish body and causes it to rot faster. The Japanese ikejime method where the fish is immediately killed using a brain spike and its blood drained allows the fish to last much longer and develop flavors as it age similar with beef. But this method is very expensive because each fish is very small vs value dense cows.

Draining blood and removing guts is also a super critical factor. Research ikejime. Its a japanese tecnique for prepping fish. If you drain the blood while the fish is alive and remove the organs, the fish can stay fresh for weeks. Land animals get their blood drained and guts removed always. But fish stay whole most of the time after they get caught. The blood and organs rot faster than the flesh.

My grandpa did almost the same, he woul often kill the fish by hitting it with a firewood just before gutting it. Sometimes they would die on the boat and wait like 30 mins at most, but most would not. I don't think he had the skill to gut a wriggling fish tho, I know if you cut wrong you spoil the whole fish.

Yeah the law change made it harder. Most large online stores now automatically charge you the customs fee and there's no problem. But if you don't pay it in advance and order something outside EU, it's a big hassle to the customer. Many probably don't bother unless it's an expensive product. They probably don't want to deal with the complaints and demands of getting their money back, lol. Also it's not very sustainable if the products just get destroyed/thrown away by the customs.

Tuna are cold water fish, but they are functionally warm blooded (the dark meat close to the spine, rather than being skin deep at the sides as in mackerel, are the main swimming muscles that keep the fish always moving, and being deep in the body means the heat they generate isn't radiated into the water but instead warms up the blood flowing near them), and they do last longer in the fridge than stuff such as salmon and mackerel. Mackerel sharks, such as mako, salmon shark and porbeagle, also have this strategy. But I wouldn't treat shark the same way as bony fish in terms of preservation, as their tissues are filled with urea and that means they will stink of urine in no time. And, well, they are utterly unsustainable species to fish, and have an insane mercury content, so, despite being traditionally eaten in some places, you shouldn't really go for them (even if the experience of eating fish that feels and tastes like pork is weird and unique).

Funfact: killing the fish immediately after catching it tends to slow the decomp process. I dont know the exact science behind it, but it has something to do with fish being placed in a highly stressful environment that causes said process to go faster

It's not applicable to store bought fish, but if you catch them yourself bleeding them out as soon as you can get them in an icewater slurry will vastly improve the meat quality. Even more than killing an filleting since it pulls most of the blood out of the meat.
