Filleting and trimming Opah from Baja California, Mexico. This is a very unique and odd shaped fish. This is how we break it down. Please like and subscribe for more fishy videos.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done. All these commenters talking about waste have probably never even seen a whole opah before. There is almost no meat left on that frame. I guarantee you that all the trim and bones gets repourposed but the money is in the fillet they are not throwing it away. Talking about waste, every one of you goes to the grocery store and will only buy perfect center cut fillets with zero blood line or belly fat, how do you think it gets that way? Great video, awesome skills.
Brains for Dinner At least someone here has some intelligence... I keep seeing comments about how much of a waste it is. People really shouldn't talk unless they know. Not all fish are the same but some people fail to understand that.
+LawrenceK42 All scraps and leftover fish is picked up by local fishermen for bait. Those orange totes are numbered according to which fisherman it is being saved for.
+LawrenceK42 Yeah right, the fish industry is the most wasteful part of society, sure. If I were you I wouldn't focus on this and instead think about what you waste and what all the other homes of the 1st world waste. Be real
+Sailoronthebridge I do focus on being responsible at home. And there's so much left over of the fish that there should be people and companies out there looking to use those parts. I work as a molecular biologist and we use bovine serum when working with human cells that comes from a slaughterhouse. Point being that they use cows not just for food but for other innovative things. If be thinking about buying these scraps to make fish oil for one.
The fish scraps are not wasted. They will be sold to factories that produce animal feed for example dog food and cat food amongst others, bait and methane gas.
Not horrible. Yes there was some meat left though. I always see people complaining on these videos about how they do it better and get every scrap of meat, but this is obviously a buisness. These guys may go through 50-60 plus fish in a day and its difficult to be razor precise when you're filleting in bulk. It's probably not worth the time lost to the amount of meat saved.
+ARMY VET Or use the bones and other meat to catch more fish so that fish prices stay lower while they make more money per hour. >which is what they do Using the rest for bait causes a larger number of fish to be caught by fishermen.
Jim Hawking whrn1 your taking an animals life for its resources its worth the time i eat meat and find not using the animal to the fullest disguising and we should be ashamed of waisting life just for pleasure. Very company would rather throw their meat away than give to ppl because they can't afford to eat just for pleasures. Its sickening. I like meat but to waist is just disgusting
+Rich77UK most likely gets turned into chum or turned into stock or maybe pet food. All this talk about 'wasting fish' Fishermen are the least wasteful people i know.
