I've seen many variations of this but the knife work on display is impressive here, especially when scoring the mantle to add texture. Also interesting that the fins are left intact, very often they are removed when preparing squid for consumption raw. I'll be catching squid in the future here in the UK so I'll have to keep this technique in mind, although I think my more conventional fish and chip eating friends will probably not be swayed into giving it a try, unfortunately.
This is a very representative Japanese way of eating seafood. I tried it once. It feels like something is constantly moving in your mouth when you eat it. It wants to break away from your mouth, but you also want to conquer it., and then there was a confrontation, and you won in the end. The taste was really delicious, and you could even feel the taste of the sea.
It is most important to maintain cleanliness for japanese sushi worker. so they always clean fish,knife,and cutting board. It makes sense to leave the water running. and Squid sashimi must be handled with special care as it contains parasites.
the mouth is what he removed at 1:14 but it's really a beak, like a bird. It moving is just neurons firing, most animals do that. think of frog legs 'kicking' when you add salt
I think it’s interesting how we as humans find spiders naturally scary (most of us), but this freaky sea roach with billions of legs and claws is something we enjoy eating
Freaky sea roach? Not even accurate description of a cephalopod. Insects are gross and alien for us, they seem hardy and hairy or even creepy but squids/octopus aren't as freaky and when served on a plate it looks and taste delicious. Can't say that to some spider legs and abdomen on a plate.
