Wish I could take you back to Japan in the early 1960s Mark. I was a Tennessee hillbilly whose only experience with fish was fried catfish but that changed with my first taste of sushi and sashimi. I grew to love everything about their culture, especially their food. I have shared the last 60 years with a Japanese wife. ❤
My dad met my mom in Japan when I was 5 years old when he was stationed at Yokota AFB, but I did my growing up in Indiana and became an Indiana hillbilly, lol. I live in Missouri now and have raised my kids to love rice and sushi! Although I grew up in the states, I never lost the taste and love for eating sushi!
In Mexico we mostly eat Tilapia (mojarra) fried with garlic (Al ajuillo), often with a beer cocktail (michelada). It’s delicious! I can’t wait to make tilapia sushi!
I grow tilapia and trout at home. You should try it Mark, you don’t need a lot of space and they do well together, they grow fast and the taste is way better because you know their diet.
That all looked good asf. I used to primarily be a catch and release fisherman, but since finding your channel I’ve started eating what I catch. You’ve taught me a lot! Thanks for the entertaining videos .
Thanks for the info on Tilapia. I really like it but stopped eating it because people kept saying bad things about it. Now I know I just need to be aware of where it was farm raised.
try hitting them with some old bay an flour then egg dredge with franks redhot seasoning and a dash a milk, then dip in a cornmeal breading like i normally use a prepackaged store brand like louisiana fish fry then pan fry in any oil until golden brown, i use olive. then you finish with fresh lemon juice and more franks red hot it is good and easy fried fish
I live in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and Japan 🇺🇸 when I was in the U.S NAVY and Talapia fish was one of the main saling fish 🐟 and now it's my favorite fish to eat, great dishes you created chef 👨🍳 mark 😋 yummy great video 📹
I'm gonna have to try the tilapia 🍣.... never thought about them being a substitute to red snapper. Looks great bud, keep up the videos! Always look forward to see what you're gonna chef up!
Glad to see this pop up while I'm working. Also, neighborhood cat is looking very healthy. Pro or not, that nigiri looked sssooo good. The entire meal looked great!
I wouldn't recommend eating raw freshwater fish as cooking the meat kills off parasites. If you notice in Japanese restaurants they only have specific saltwater fish on the menu for sashimi...
I eat lots of different types of fish and recently one fish that I tried for the first time was flounder and it was really good! Maybe a top 3 fish for me behind trout and walleye.
Fresh will always be more risky than cooked or deep frozen. I don't think the average home freezer will be cold enough to significantly reduce your chance of catching something. You can risk it fresh or purchase frozen, which is what Mark did here.
here in North eastern Australia, mozambique and blue tilapia are really invasive. We have to kill them and throw them away by law. Which means it's illegal to be in possession of even the fillets. However they are fun to fish for they fight reasonably hard and can be caught with small hooks and baits like bread and worms. I have seen people catch them on lures rarely.
I’m sure it’s been said before but make sure to feed your “neighbourhood” cat canned or dry cat food as well as fish/chicken as they need some nutrients that they can’t get from human food.
You do a great job filleting your fish in a way that wastes minimum meat. Most people are incredibly wasteful. Cutting the entire rib section off especially on smaller fish.
Tilapia tastes real muddy like all other fresh water fish. I've never heard of anyone eating it raw. Actually, I've never heard of anyone eating any fresh water fish other than salmon and trout raw.
You're not supposed to eat any freshwater fish raw because of the bacteria they have. All fish that can be eaten raw are saltwater. Those tilapia sold for sushi are actually tilapia farmed in salt water their whole lives, as they live in both fresh and saltwater.
@@metroid158 Ah.. gotcha. I didn't know there was saltwater tilapia. That's why I was saying that Tilpia, like all other freshwater fish, tastes muddy as fuck. You have to season and cook the shit out of them, literally.
@@krnpowr where I am at their is a nice healthy population that lives in a brackish medium because of a waste water treatment effluent. Some months it’s saltier than others non the less they live year round. Would not recommend eating though 😂
Question: Why is the frozen tilapia good for sushi but the fresh is not? Is it because it has been frozen, which would kill any parasites? Just wondering.
The vast majority of tilapia is imported from Asian countries where it’s mass farmed in dirty putrid conditions, for these reasons i stopped eating tilapia years ago; why eat tilapia when I can eat salmon, cod & sea bass etc.

Weekly reminder that Mark has the best content on TH-cam!
He is a kimagure cook inspired channel doing pretty well
Here in Hawaii Tilapia is a staple for filipinos. Grew up eating it as a kid and still love it. Love the content keep it up bro.
Love this channel, definition of what youtube was made for.

Awesome vid Mark. Very informative as always. Thank you.

Damn son, four whole fillets eaten, that's a ton of fish!
Tilapia is the best brooo
Always lovely videos Mark, keep up the good work and great content
I am now a tilapia expert 😎
Was about to eat some tilapia until I saw it was from China! Binned it and got some from Mexico

Best tasting fish all around neck and neck with salmon SASHIMI GRADE Tilapia is Amazing and the best eaten Raw Fish
Thank you
damn bro u did a great job shaping that nigiri, ur time in the kitchen is starting to pay off and its noticeable!
Lmao I see all the references to Kimagure cooking! Awesome
nifty editing Mark!
Mark the seaweeds are filled with msg maybe why it makes em rolls extraaa tasty
Great video!

try Chilean sea bass or black cod (sablefish), also definitely recommend halibut if you haven't tried it
Try Pompano, it’s a HIGHLY slept on fish but it’s amazing
Good ol Nam Dae Mun
you're close to 25k
You should try the Bachan japanese bbq sauce with grilled fish in a video
Yum yum yum
Yes yes👏
Why gut if you will fillet? Why scale if you remove skin?
I like your youtube videos!
Nice vid
Hey Mark what's the name of that market you shop at? Wayyyy better options for seafood than a Kroger or Publix, thanks.
I'm starting to buy my fish from a market cause of your videos. How do you know which are "safe" enough to use for sushi
Where was the "no clean" 😉
you can eat Nigiri by hand...that is normal in Japan...eating Nigiri with ohashi is a overkill
how long did u BBQ fish both side ?
Does fresh fish contain parasites? Should we freeze it first before eating raw?
it's a risk you take. just chew your food well. :)
Fresh will always be more risky than cooked or deep frozen. I don't think the average home freezer will be cold enough to significantly reduce your chance of catching something. You can risk it fresh or purchase frozen, which is what Mark did here.
enak banget rasanya kawan
Hi Mark. LOVE the content. What brand is the grill?
It looks to me a lot like an Iwatani portable grill.
That looks mean!
Is it safe to eat the frozen filet raw?
I was thinking the same
i’am confused on why you used the frozen fish for sushi and the fresh one for cooking shouldn’t it be the other way ?
I have heard freezing the fish kills bacteria allowing for it to be eaten raw
here in North eastern Australia, mozambique and blue tilapia are really invasive. We have to kill them and throw them away by law. Which means it's illegal to be in possession of even the fillets. However they are fun to fish for they fight reasonably hard and can be caught with small hooks and baits like bread and worms. I have seen people catch them on lures rarely.
Do you eat anything besides fish? 😂
Why do you scale it if you skin it?
i think scaling makes the prep easier. that is only my guess
Hey Mark I’m first!
Luckiest neighborhood cat...
Pig fish🤤
I’m sure it’s been said before but make sure to feed your “neighbourhood” cat canned or dry cat food as well as fish/chicken as they need some nutrients that they can’t get from human food.
Cats are carnivores what other nutrients could they need.
@@JF-iq3qk They need taurine, which is an amino acid. Sometimes not present in home made diets.

These past 8 years I've been staying away from and telling friends to avoid all/any foods imported from China because of their food practices 🤮
Hate the grainy texture of tilapia and the taste isn’t great

@@JF-iq3qk Exactly. I always put Talapia in the same category as carp and catfish. They're garbage fish.
Catfish and carp are good if YK how to cook em
dude please stop cutting toward your hands before you a accident homie.
...accidents are not the end of the world homie
Love it brother... keep it up
Question: Why is the frozen tilapia good for sushi but the fresh is not? Is it because it has been frozen, which would kill any parasites? Just wondering.
It's because it was farmed in saltwater. You should never eat freshwater fish raw because they contain some kind of bacteria that will make us sick.
Hi Mark, I already wrote a message to you on instagram about rating the taste of the fish on like 1-10 :D maybe you consider it
Tilapia would not feed on shyt that’s a lie bcu there plant eaters but they do like Yeast aka Bread also
