  • Yuji Haraguchi is a butcher and owner of the fish market Osakana. In this episode of Handcrafted, Haraguchi shows Bon Appétit how to butcher a whole tuna and explains every cut of fish you would see at sushi restaurants. To do this, Haraguchi uses five knives: the Yanagi, which is used for slicing sashimi, the Mioroshi Deba filleting knife with narrow thin blade, the Deba single-edged knife used for breaking down the whole fish, the Gyuto versatile multipurpose chef's knife, and the Yo-Deba. He breaks down the tuna into back loin, belly loin, pelvic fins, bones, and collars. From there, the cuts are broken down into saku blocks and sashimi like toro, chu-toro, sinews, sankaku, akami, tuna tartare, and aburi.

      He's probably been fishing and filleting since he was a kid with his dad or something. I remember when i was about 15, this kid i went to school with showed me how to butcher and cook rabbits and hares. He'd been hunting them since he was a kid, and grew up knowing all about butchering, cooking etc. Up until that point, i never even seen a dead animal except for in the store, post butchered, in fridges. Or hung up in a butchers window. I knew about slaughterhouses and butches and where meat came from, i wasn't naive to that. Just never actually seen or done the butchering. and here i was, being educated in this matter by this kid who was slightly younger than me, who'd been doing it years. Some people just grow up learning these things as part of their childhood or teenhood. Kinda wish i had

      Doc Roid Sorry, you're wrong. There is lots, lots, lots of waste. Large % of the marine life cot in the fish nets are useless to "fisherman" and must throw it back already suffocated into the oceans. Please watch on TH-cam, Google or Netflix: What The Health, Global Sushi, Extinction facts and Empty Oceans. Thanks

    • @cooperrosa
      @cooperrosa 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      BrewHowse LeGourmetTV You Sir are full of yourself and here's why. Simple picture of FREE wild life has nothing to do with this and many other bloodthirsty, senseless, brutal massacres for fun, sports, trophies, profits, 5 min. palate pleasure and other dumb reasons. Attacking me and with such foolish nonsense isn't going to impress anyone with simple common sense.
      You don't need diploma, hard work, bravery, special skills and tactics to watch others and perhaps personally butcher, brutalize weak, helpless, defenceless, peaceful beings, only to fulfil absurd, perverted, crippled egos and needs. Get this Sir, I'm not only "animal rights activist. I'm Animal/ Human/Earth "activist". I am who I am, because of you and other lazy moochers and cowards like you. I do what any good, compassionate, ethical human being auth to do.
      Defending absurd "traditions" is counterproductive and self - destructive. A good Man doesn't need to kill others to feel good about himself, be healthy, eat well, be proud, wealthy and happy!!!!! A good Man/Woman would defend, protect, respect and protect the most vulnerable in any society, children and animals. This planet is the only one we have. These species like all others are NOT your's, NOT your food. They are NOT vegetables, trash or criminals! It's not their fault for your misery, anger and personal issues. Leave them alone, if you have any humanity left in you.
      Nothing is for ever, the more you take and kill the worst it gets. Greed, stupidity and ignorance are the reason for wild life extinction, diseases, hunger, pollution, deforestation,violence and global Warming. You don't give a damn... like the majority here... but you must. Nothing is for ever. It's not too late to face reality. Oceans are depleted and if you and others like you don't stop now, everyone will suffer. And please tell me Sir, what the Hell you do, to make our world a better place? Other than being ignorant, arrogant and support moochers and perhaps being one yourself?????

      Tourista TV Wow, that's all you were able to come up with Sir? Not impressed. Actually, people like you make me lough. There's nothing more dumb than suggesting violent acts towards others, no matter how you feel. You are only showing, how barbaric, vicious, misguided are the individuals who willingly participate in the merciless butchering of innocent, peaceful, harmless sentient beings... as if are criminals. The truth is, they are the real criminals.
      One must be really angry, miserable, misguided individual to resort to violence. Good luck with that. Don't feel sorry for you, but those around and in front of you. You can "butcher" me all you want, but you'll never earn my respect. You'll still be nothing and worthless. A man without compassion, morals, ethics and respect for others is worthless... even if he has billions in his bank account. You can't buy respect, admiration, honour, dignity and love. Real Man doesn't need to exploit, use, abuse, torture and "butcher" anyone, to feel good about himself, be proud, healthy, wealthy and happy.
      You're probably much older than me, but Sir, try to listen and understand first people, before you say or do something you might regret. You might even learn a thing or two. Everybody makes mistakes and all mistakes could be forgiven. Violence is learned behaviour, not natural to most normal people. You want and like to be violent? Sign up for the army to fight someone your caliber and strength... there are many bad guys that need to be put to rest. But, butchering peaceful, helpless, defenceless, vulnerable, weak sentient beings is for cowards. It's like butchering babies, children, women, mentally and physically disabled, the elderly. Wake up... evolve. You can do better than this.
      Just because you can do something it doesn't mean you should, nor it means it's the moral, ethical, right, healthy, natural, necessary thing to do. Your arrogance and sense of entitlement are quite astonishing. Believe it or not, it always begins with the flesh eating lunacy, turning good, caring, compassionate humans to heartless, brutalizes and monsters. No wonder, there's so much violence, discrimination and racism all over the world. This world needs more good people, not bad. Which one are you are and want to be? It's up to you.

      I butchered one today! Caught my first Bluefin Tuna 60+pounds offshore Mexico and San Diego. bc I watched this video I didn't mess it up. Thousands of dollars of tuna I can't waste any of it.

    I love this guy’s philosophy about using as much of the animal as possible. One of my favorite spots in Hawaii catch their own tuna and deep fry the collars and bones so you can pick out any residual meat and chew on the bones, it’s amazing so there are clearly ways to turn the “garbage” parts of food into amazing dishes.

    I want a tuna fish to swallow me so when someone cuts the fish open, I can surprise them like it’s their birthday
