GRAPHIC - How to fillet a fish - Mackerel - Japanese technique - サバのさばき方 

does anyone else watch these type of videos because its so satisfying

I'm always impressed by Japanese chefs knife skills. You don't see them rushing or using any faddish techniques, just smooth movements and an incredibly sharp edge.

Precise and cleaner than few surgeons i had met. And the fish didn't even utter a word.

Never mind the skill - I'm just marveling at how sharp that knife is!!

such an important thing to have a VERY sharp and reliable knife brethren!

I was raised on Hessle Road in Hull, England. Hull was a major fishing port for years until the cod wars in the 1970s. Our fish filleters would’ve done that in less than half the time with perfect fillets first time, no need to go back and trim them.

My dad told me one day, son in this life you have to learn everything, and this is one of the things I learned from him! Good video

I ordered two of these based on the reviews. ru-vid.comUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

Having worked as a fishing guide for the past 7 years I've filleted my fair share of fish. Your technique is very different from how we do it here as you are filleting one fish so can take your time a bit more and use a different technique. For me I need to fillet lots of fish as fast as possible so I typically don't bother gutting the fish beforehand and just leave the belly, entrails, and head attached together for disposal later. Just cut through the rib cage and remove it after. Nice video though very clear in showing how you fillet your fish

Mackerel is great cooked on the grill. The oily flesh gives off a great smoky flavor. I don't even bother filleting the fish. Cook it whole, turning it once and the flesh comes right off the bone when you're eating it.

I love the way he cuts the fish it's so satisfying- and he is a expert at cutting fishes and i cant wait to eat it when its cooked😋😋😋!

I watch this because I need to fillet my mackerel for tonight 🍽 . Thank you 🙏🏻

Idk why but i've been marathoning fillet videos and this guy is doing it differently . Thanks for showing another way 😂 tho it looks hard

idk why I'm watching this, I'm on my break at work and I'm not even a chef

Of all the fish filleting videos that I've watch on youtube, this is hands down the best one.

Fantastic, I’ve bought a Shun 8” 4 years ago and been making sushi often in those 4 years and I’m still no where as good with a knife as you, absolutely outstanding.

I swear to God I never knew somebody could make filleting a fish ASMR style but there he is! Props to you chef keep it up!

that knife is brilliant

fresh thx for upload

Wonderful Fish Focussing

its so satisfying to see how easily that knife cuts

Nice video, clean and smooth cutting skills... Would you kindly tell us the brand name of this knife you've used in this video, thanks.

Thank u for this😍😍😍

Thank You for Recipe.

Thanks for this video! I got used to eating yakisaba in Japan for a couple of years, but never learned how to cook it (why bother when it's so cheap and available everywhere?). When I came back the US, it was surprisingly difficult just to FIND a mackerel, nevermind a cooked one. Enter me learning how to cook this bad boy by myself! I've never cleaned nor gutted a fish in my life, so your videos are appreciated!

Two days ago I'd think that his technic is impeccable, but now, after filleting youtube marathon, I rate it solid 5/7.

I used a chef's knife and it was quite fiddly especially when the knife reached the spinal bones. As an amateur I didn't know how much force to apply. However... from 3 filleted mackerels, I managed to scrape every bit of meat from the left-overs and made a decent sized burger patty. After frying for 2min on each side, it was more delicious than the skin on pan-fried the fillets. Next time I will turn all my mackerels into burger patties. Maybe upgrade my patty recipe with herbs.

Beautiful Knife for sure but this job is a lot easier and quicker and more accurate with a very thin slim flexible knife !!!

Very nice, excellent job. BE BLESS!!!!

Also has anyone noticed how high quality that knife is? Its a thick tamahagane carbon steel santoku knife, the thickness of the trailing edge is much greater than the leading edge and the trailing edge is also rounded to prevent blistering your hand with continuous usage, its a magnificent knife.

such a beautiful fish

I love see food,I watch this time and again

this rated graphic?? what else rated graphic in youtube nowadays? cooking instant noodles??

Holy mackerel!

Gotta love the Deba knife when used with such expertise.

Thank you!

I'm subscribing based upon this one video. Perfection.

That's a beautiful knife.

Chef dai is the best😆😆😆😆

Thanks very much for the tip

" *EXTREMELY GRAPHIC* How to slice bread"

I actually did something very similar with my brother when I was kid, can't remember why exactly thought

Thx for nice demonstration !

beautiful fish beautiful knife

Looks like this guy tried to fillet his finger.

A pleasure to watch. Very sorry you aren't as experienced as joseph vodo. Is easy to see he's quite pleased with himself. I'm thinking that blade cost you more than I paid for my first car! Was very cool to see it being used for filleting. Nice work

Love it. ありがとうございました

Straight to the point! I like that.

Haru loves this video

So satisfying to watch!

Anyone else watching this type of video because it's gratifying

I for one appreciated your video. I'll watch others as well and see what different techniques look like. I don't really see the point of people dumping on you if they do it differently. They should make their own video. Thanks for putting it out there.

Good morning chef, I wanna know what knife are you using? It's so good!

The video is super awesome

Thank you. Very clever!

Throughout this whole video, I'm thinking of this quote from Scary Movie "I'm gonna cut you like a fish"

For me it’s so satisfying, is it only me? UwU

اشكرك لأنك حافظت على المية وفتحت حاجة بسيطة

I don’t even really like fish I just like how satisfying it is to watch

i want your knifes, where can i get ones like that

*Thanks for a great filleting action, belly bones section helps* One of the best fishy fish of the ocean, and in abundance therefore very affordable. Will be buying in bulk to fillet it tomorrow.

Looks so easy

So satisfying😃

I'm from the US and we call that a "Boston Mackerel" Here that are generally used as bait whole for sharks, or cut into 3" pieces for bluefish. also fileted and cut into thin strips for flounder/fluke bait. It is a good sized fish though. That species only gets about 18" in length usually...

now all you have to do is cook it and deliver it to 11145 eden rd apt 210.

Always interesting. In watching other people doing their thing with fish and sea foods. You get their perspective of how they do it Sometimes better than your own way Learn something everydayakes for a good life lol to all

Thank you! Love the bandaid on your finger!

Очень красивая работа !

wow what a knife! can i ask what brand is that??

wow..nice fish cutting.. Thanks for share this type of video

perrrrrrfect..... THE best tasting fish when caught and bbq'd within a few hours of catching

Nice ki aapne pani bachakar fish clean kiya,,,very good

No fish was harmed in the making of this video

AmaZing 👏👏👏

So.. when you're cutting down the back. You're cutting above the bones? or through them? gotta pul some out of the filet? so in the end, if done right. is it boneless?

That knife is sharp!

my mom is doing extreem graphics in kitchen by cutting dead fish for dinner. ha ha

Such a clean filet. I'm trying to get better at filetting whole fish, I have to practice feeling the edge of the bones w the knife more vs cutting through it and making a mangled mess

amazing cutting

100 % you need more to learn & learn before you show to the world your talent

Fresh and alive😍😍 Great knife work too❤️❤️

Incredibly fresh fish! Nice 👍🏿

Graphic ? ... Its a fucking fish

PADAK,NO!!!

I just realize the videos are more satisfying with no one talking

Oh god, that was so graphic. Why did I watch it - I think I might need counselling.

Cheers Mate!

you missed the bones in middle of the filet.

At least it was already dead before it was cooked

I'm definitely trying this out. I have some mackerel in the fridge

Nice work

Excellent 🤘 🤘

So professional.
