As a nurse student I'm really impressed about the surgical suture he performed. Reminds me of my operating room experience. Awesome skill and passion!
What suture lol 🤦♂️
@@janedough2529 "reminds"

@@janedough2529 how that guy close the open wound using surgical certified thread is a suture. The technique
@@janedough2529 your ignorance amuse me
This man has so much passion for his craft.
Thats asian people for you!
If the fish could talk they would word it differently I suspect, he's like their "grey" alien abductor coming from above with his baffling technologies and then the light, the pain and suddenly their not pregnant anymore with a mysterious scar.
You can say that about every one of the people in these kinds of videos, they aren't going to make a video on your average joe
@@jounaas Can you just move over there, so we can pass the needed infrastructure bills and not have to hear you crying about, looking for any ways to spend our tax payer money except on our infrastructure?
@@h.l.malazan5782 what 😂😂😂 where did i whine?
Dude ties a stitch on that sturgon like a surgeon 😁
A sturgeon surgeon?
@@ekatjendana9026 STURGE SURGEERER
Rimshot achievement earned.
Sounds like there wasn't a surge in the search for a sturgeon surgeon?
His sutures are good
He has been referring to the sturgeons as "this friend" and I can't get over how cute it is
Cute ? To kill your friends because you are only interested in their eggs ?
@@joshspeed8404 i would give my juicy eggs to my friends no prob
@@joshspeed8404 It is cute to ethically source fish product and in turn restore the species from endangerment.
@@joshspeed8404 he didn't kill the fish.
@@minniemouse2742 I would like to be corrected since to my understanding, at first they only sampled the eggs but they would then harvest the entire caviar out of the sturgeon. I did read there's process that would allow the caviar to be harvested out of the fish w/o killing it but I do not if he practices such.
Imagine how much better the food we got at the store would be if it was raised with this much love and attention.
Imagine the price
@@ramanmonkey RIP bank account
Imagine how much people starving to death.
@@blebekblebek Every animal product should have a price in each country that normal people could efford it like max. 1 time a week. The global consumtion of meat it way too high. If we use the acres we have to feed humans directly, we could also afford to reduce the space we need for food production plus could do it eco friendly with less harvest.
@@joshspeed8404 What's that had anything to do with anything I said? My comment was for the original comment, Imagine how much people would be starved if any food need to be raised/grow for 20 years before you can consume it. God damn, take your preach elsewhere.
All that skill and knowledge, then the wisdom to know he has much to learn.
@@johnfran3218 huh ?
@@johnfran3218 I see that you love caviar as much as I do
it is so genuinely refreshing to see someone following their passion while also revolutionizing food production; without the efforts of Asian farmers the sturgeon would already be extinct
Well if Asians didn’t eat so much fish they might not need to worry
@@jamesdrake4271 sturgeons are not native to S.K. waters so they're really not the ones contributing to the species' decreasing population in their natural habitat
@@jamesdrake4271 I don’t think asians are particularly known for consuming that much caviar…
@@rikka8957 I’m asain yes we do why do you think the farmers are Asians
@@jamesdrake4271china is the top producer of caviar but it’s not very commonly eaten, really. same goes for japan and indonesia, the other two notable asian countries in caviar productions, though japan does consume a lot of roe and they do have quite a few high end restaurants in which caviar is used. but as a general rule, i wouldn’t really say that caviar is eaten by most asians
Such attention to detail. The dedication and effort must be admired by whichever country believes is best at making caviar. This will only make the world of caviar production better!!! Much praise!!!
there's something about chefs and their suppliers where their dedication to their craft is just so f-wording cool
11:06 this dude had a great professor
I love watching people like these. They are obviously so passionate about their craft. The love and pride they feel toward their profession is so inspiring. The fact that his own hands are involved from conception to birth to raising the sturgeon to harvesting of the caviar. Even until the cleaning, preparation, packaging and delivery to the customer. He performs every step with his own hands. This is why caviar is ridiculously expensive.
Masters of their trade and craft are seen before governors and kings. Much respect
7th Door got ranked 34 in Asia's Top 50 Restaurants
And there are a LOT of restaurants in Asia
Dedication and much passion, knowledge for his work... He deserves the respect. I'd love to taste that caviar one day
the way he's speaking English words are sooo good
I keep seeing videos from Korea... food and cooking videos... and makes me think Korea is the best in the world at any type of culinary experience...
I can confirm. Korea is an extremely culturally rich country, and its culinary culture is no exception.
Respect to Mr Cheol and his craft! Awesome content as usual!
the stitching on that sturgeon was beautiful to watch
25 years😱 passion! passion! passion!
And this is why it's so expensive! 😱😱
With all the work and attention to detail that goes into this, it's no wonder caviar is so expensive.
Real Artisan at work ,what a pleasure to watch.
This is such detail explanation, we definitely can see passion in the owner eyes
I like how he's very passionate and not just for the money. He even called the fishes as "this friend" in his first line as what i understood, correct me if I'm wrong.
i bet the sturgeon is thinking " The hive cluster is under attack "
Spawn more overlords
Not only did this guy overseas and contributed to saving the population, he even stitches up the sturgeons after testing. What a gigachad
If he didnt do that the fish would’ve died
They killed the fish after it though.
Your kidding right.
I want to learn from this master of caviar. Very interesting
His passion is so inspiring. Tedious indeed but he produces a quality product that comes from the heart. Respect to this man. 🙏🙌♥️ God bless your hands Sir.
Wow! I've never had caviar but if I were interested in trying it I would get it from this vendor. He has excellent skill, knowledge, and service!
I like how everything was a very clean environment.
Passion!! Amazing!!
Woww, this vid give me so much detail about caviar, thanks admin 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sooo cool. I love this channel. And this guy.
Thank you for sharing 👍👍
한국에서도 캐비어가 생산되네요! 세계적인 캐비어가 되었으면 좋겠어요. 화이팅입니다. ^^
How I wish I’ll get a chance to taste that pricey food. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video I enjoyed it.
I’m seeing world getting better when I knew this farm happened to preserve sturgeon species and appreciate more when he said all we have is details.
Gosh this is mouth-watering
Nice video to watch. It just goes to show that anyone can have good products if they put their mind into it. Some people assume economy successful countries excel in quality but that is not always the case.
in the beginning he actually called the fish his friend [ 친구 ] I'm bilingual
Big up the dude for using an instrument tie to close up the cut he made. That was cool to see
Awesome video. Learned much.like one molecule! Your efforts are amazing! Keep it up!!
Thank you
Wow the precision in his sutures
대체 이 알고리즘은 뭐지
진짜 노력해서 가족처럼 키우시네요 번창하시길
Look amazing !
Love to see people who do tedios work and bother themselves with the tiny details to achieve these perfect results
I read it as "How a Korean Surgeon produces caviar"
Well, it was not a completely wrong reading considering his skill with a scalpel and suturing.
자막없이 바로 볼 수 있어서 좋네요ㅎㅎ 그리고 직업적으로 프로정신이 정말 대단하신거 같아요!
Amazing
AWESOME CONTENT
너무 멋있어요 .. 한국에 계시다는게 너무 자랑스럽습니다 ! 😃

fun seeing how much thought is put into conservation of species
Love the suture you made
They're doing this like some kind of lab experiment. Im so amazed
오우 대박이다 철학이 느껴집니다 👍👍
How awesome
1:40 the way the feed *flew*
AWESOME CONTENTS
Was the chef using metal spoons to dish the caviar? Isn't that supposed to affect the flavor?
I saw that too and wonder about it
Silver will affect the flavor. Typical metal spoons should be ok if I’m remembering correctly
@@brandtsnakenberg7327 checked it out and it seems to be a something to it while others argue that it comes in a tin so whatever oxidation a stainless steel spoon will have is pointless since the taste will have changed from the time its been in the tin.
But thats just what i could gather from a quick google search.
It hurts to see this, it happens so often, the farmer used the best possible spoons to secure the flavor of the caviar, and these chefs just go with cheap metal spoons... :@
@@oliver7962 the tin the caviar comes in is literary "tin" linked which is non reactive metal used for food transport.
어머 한국인 분이시네요 멋지세요 응원합니다!!ㅎㅎ
3.5M won is about 3k USD
wowww
This guy is a happy/man
nice video!
Это великолепно. Хороший контент! Подписался)
wow~!
매년 보졸레누보 먹을 때마다.. 여기서 캐비어 주문해서 먹습니다. 가격대 성능비가 좋다고 생각했는데.. 이제 많이 유명해 지셨나 보네요..ㅎㅎ
No it not fam Is just youtue
이거 미국에서도 사먹을수 있을까요?
Read this as ''How a Korean surgeon farm-'' was so confused!
His suturing skill is good also. İ can confirm it as a doctor.
He is an actual scientist!
크 대단하시다
AWESOME GAME PLAYING
와우 예술이네…
우와 👀👀
Cheap Hong is a Master!
Monster*
Anyone familiar with their ideal diet ? And what percentage of carbs / proteIn take up the feed ?
Hahaha I love this guy and his konglish
I'm surprised they don't use ultrasound to check the size of the roe before harvesting.
They do in some places
Interesting
cool guy!
If only this was available for purchase in my country
Looks like the FB page is no longer being updated and website is down?
🌞🌞Great job Sir, same to you and yours families and friends, and yours whole community. Keep it up.😆.🤖[ANI]
'Oh, my life is tedious and boring,' as he's living his dream job with the biggest smile on his face LOL
have a try
Technically, this man is the owner of a Jurassic Park.
What do they do with the sturgeon once the roe is harvested? Is it processed and sold for meat?
Looked like he stitched it up and put it back.
They keep getting roe from it until it's too old to make roe anymore. Much like puppy farming... they find the fish belly up and then they chunk it away... and the cuts they make to harvest the clutch of roe is MUCH bigger.. they didn't show that part... they fut the poor fish. Or sometimes they are milked before the fish is ready which is Exccruating process... its a HORRIFIC life for the fish sadly.
@@Shuggies why would you lie? it's clear the fish is dead when they remove the roe-he said they keep it in a pure water tank for a week to rid it of its impurities so they can sell the meat of the fish. the only times they are taken out before then is to do a biopsy to check if the eggs are ready-larger cuts would affect the fish too much and potentially cause it to die early, which would make the whole process useless. the fish from the beginning that he said he's kept for breeding for 25 years doesn't have her eggs removed. she is used only to produce more offspring, so they wouldn't perform any surgery on her to remove her eggs, she'll expell them naturally. i understand being upset that the fish's life is dependent on their function to humans, but he is a researcher first, and keeping up decades-long research takes a lot of money.
Pretty sure the fish will be used for meat. The incision is jagged, doesn’t look like it’s meant to be sewn back up. And the fish was hanging upside down in a storage locker before it was taken out to be harvested, so it was already dead before that.
Someday i will taste that fish eggs man. Someday. 😹👍🏽👍🏽
wow the koreans do it so much better than other sturgeon farms
멋집니다!
안샘캐비어
근대 한가지 의문은
캐비어가 원가가 정말 싸구나 라고 느껴지는 부분이
마지막 패킹전 그람 잴때 정밀저울대신
+/- 5g 저울로 재시는거 보고
아 원가가 비싸진 않나보규나 ..
느낌 ㅋㅋ
Very impressive, Whats price of that box delivered to restaurant ?
Arm and a leg
We get like 6 foot -8 foot sturgeon here where I'm at
Go get some eggs
Get them to play basketball homes I'm telling you they should be ballin yesterday
Whr I'm at we get like 10 foot sturgeon
@@hanzo309 we do to ..just much harder to find. I'm close to Fraser river BC canada. Went on a fishing trip with work and the truck driver fought a 102 inch sturgeon that was not tagged estimated over 100 years old. Was the coolest experience.
11:06 caught me off guard xD
I'm so used to seeing moonrocks called caviar that it'a kinda wierd seeing actual caviar now lol.
Do they kill the mother sturgeon that they harvest or does she get sewn back up and put back? It looked like a really tough cut to recover from.
When they actually harvest the caviar, the sturgeon dies.
They opened her whole n obviously it died when out of water. 😭. It's pregnant. No sensivity left in human
@@geetamandavkar9791 humankinds have been farming animals since the ancient times. As long as you help them live in healthy pond, feed them, change their water etc, it's never a cruel thing. We humans have to kill a few animals for meat, some plants for our salad. It's what god has bestowed upon us, using whatever we have on this land. The guy knows that farming caviar from the sea affects the sustainability of the species, and thus farms them. There's nothing to be sad about here. You can't live without killing anything. Or maybe you eat ice cream to live on? Who knows..
I like him
Let's save and preserve sturgeon . Also let's farm them and harvest their eggs to eat.
Good, right? It's for the people too.
he definitely studied here in the US. His english pronunciation is pretty good for someone from my home country of south Korea. I'm very delighted to see my home country getting in the caviar business.
Edit- He should have just done this whole thing in English. I'm sure he could.
I'm grateful that he did the interview in Korean
As a Korean, I noticed that too. by his pronunciation I can sense that he at least started studying abroad in his late teenage / early 20's. Not a typical 50-something Korean guy, I can at least say that
와 이렇게 크게 캐비어하시는 한국분이 계셨네
Ahh so this is the real sturgeon, roe and caviar in real life. i just encountered all these in stardew valley 😂
