Glad to see you back! Loved the amount of detail you went into into in this video, very interesting, informative, and a fun watch. Hope to see more in this style when the inspiration strikes you!
Ace, thank you so much!! I was thinking of testing tuna and salmon from various groceries in this format... Hope you have a great weekend :D
I have been getting frozen Ahi tuna for years from Aldi and it's always been good.
Hi i was wondering why you didn't do the sugar/salt curing process like salmon?
Tuna is considered safe from parasites, salmon is not.
Hah! I KNEW you were from Hawaii. There’s always something in our accents even when we’ve been living on the mainland🤙🏽
So you bought this and didn't freeze it and ate right away I see, I thought you had to freeze to kill parasites first, especially if wild and not farmed? (Pardon for asking) Good videos- Carl
Hey Carl, thanks for stopping and for the kind words! Certain tuna like this yellowfin are exempt and are safe without freezing
The FDA Code: 3-402.11 has the guidelines for freezing fish, however big fish like this tuna are exempt from the rule:
"The following fish species are exempt from the freezing requirement: Yellowfin tuna,
Bluefin tuna Southern, Bigeye tuna, Bluefin tuna Northern."
This is because of multiple reasons:
1. Tuna are resistant to parasites that can affect human
2. Tuna are gutted and cleaned shortly after catch (if not done quickly GI anisakis can move into the flesh)
3. Tuna are flash frozen on the ships
hey love your videos, so to clarify we are saying that we can eat it as-is from costco before of the FDA guidelines?@@photogami
@@awkke yes, I'll be posting a video more on this. From a parasite perspective, both the farmed Atlantic salmon and tuna meets criteria for safe raw consumption. However as with all raw foods there is risk of bacterial spoilage
I like these longer videos where you talk to us
Question: seems like you need to brine salmon but not tuna, is that right?
Loved the video thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I used a extra small salmon filet to make some sushi. The filet was frozen right after getting home from costco and was in the freezer for 3-4 months. Followed your videos on how to cure etc. And I tasted a very small piece before I let it sit in the fridge. And my mouth felt slightly was numb on the side I chewed it on. Probably just me being paranoid/placebo but I didnt eat the rest of it and saved the other frozen filets for cooking. You think it was bad?
You made the right call - if you're ever unsure, toss as good safety is #1
It looked yummy and I was jealous
Hey will my tuna be okay if I put it in the freezer?
Thank you for the videos! Want to clarify, for this particular fish from Costco, we can take it home and slice immediately for sushi or sashimi?
You're welcome!
And yes that's exactly correct. It's safe from a parasite perspective. There is still bacterial spoilage risk as with all raw foods
Thank you for the info. What exactly does bacterial spoilage mean? Does that indicate risk for infection if eaten? Spoilage? Sorry for the dumb questions. I really want to start to do this because we love sushi
@@Cdizon82 yes exactly, if there was an issue with temperature control while it was in transport or the fish was improperly handled, bacteria can get on the surface and grow to a limit where it will make you sick (like eating any other spoiled food). At this point it's best to cook it to make it safe
Imo Costco's supply chain is excellent and this is how we've had poke for years
@@photogami that’s good to know. We love Costco a lot so we’re very hopeful for this. How would we know if there is bacterial spoilage?
@@Cdizon82 this is a tough one and it is impossible to tell without a microscope and culture
The smell test I do rules out absolutely spoiled ones, but the rest carries the same risk as all other foods (like oysters, undercooked beef etc)
Did you wash it first?
No wash
@@photogami cool! Thanks! Doing this rn! Bought a nice tuna from costco 👍
so we dont do curing like the salmon ?
Correct, tuna is ready straight out of the packet
@@photogami Too late, i did a bit of Salt curing for 20 mins just to be safe :D But thanks for responding.
How come ahi tuna so expensive in the States? Its only $3/lb in vancouver. $2 on sale.
Everything
Everything!
So I don’t realize that Ahi tuna often contains bigeye tuna, which is on the high mercury. Do not eat list.
Us Koreans must mix the wasabi and soy sauce or you’re weird 😂😂😂
Dude, stop putting a picture of that guy whenever you say "nice." Its weird in a creepy way
coward
"Ahi tuna" is redundant.
You're posting videos about Japanese style food and giving advice but you don't even know what sushi is? I'll give you a clue. This isn't sushi.
Nice clue man. Here's a clue for you to consider: Jog on a major highway and get plastered to the grill of an 18 wheeler!
@@kweenxo That's not sushi either.
You really think he doesn't know the difference between sushi and sashimi...? Did you ever think maybe he put sushi on the title because that's what most of his viewers know raw fish as? We live in a country where rolls are also known as sushi. I think you are the one that needs a clue...haha
@@BWTECH0521 Yep. I really do think this. To say all raw fish is sushi is like saying anything with wheat flour in it is bread. How would you react if a foreigner started calling a chocolate cake or a donut 'bread'? It shows a lack of knowledge of the dish and as a content creator, should be held to a higher standard to help people understand the difference.
