GRAPHIC!!! - How to fillet a fish - Sea bass - Japanese technique - すずきのさばき方
Chef Dai demonstrates how to fillet a Sea bass using traditional Japanese techniques.
(WARNING - if you're at all squeamish and uncomfortable with the sight of blood and intestines, please ignore from 1:44 - 2:53)
The Sea bass, known as "suzuki" in Japanese, is widely eaten across Japan and can be prepared in a number of different ways.
We would recommend using a scaler to scale off the fish if you have one. Chef Dai couldn't find it one at the restaurant on this particular day........... investigations are ongoing ; )
Thank you for watching and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have!

Good steel and care. Also, Japanese-style knives usually have angles of 12 degrees, whereas Western-style are more like 20 to 25.

For anyone wondering, that’s a Deba- a traditional, one bevel, Japanese knife for gutting fishes. Yes, that’s literally a knife specialized for just cutting up fishes.

@paulwright740 2 жыл бұрын

Just one hour ago a neighbour presented us with a sea bass caught this morning in Kanazawa. After our disastrous attempt to gut and fillet a buri last year I went to KZfaq and found your site. The reult two fillets not quite in your elegant manner but for us successful. One fillet has been wrapped in kobu seaweed for sashimi tomorrow and the other fillet for frying. Thank you for such a clear demonstration. One last point, With a perfect English accent you had to have lived and been educated in England. Congratulations.

I have cut many sea bass in my time but, to be honest, I'm still learning everyday and striving to perfect my skills. In my eyes, I've still a long long way to go and for me, thats where the enjoyment of cooking lies. Its great that you're an aspiring chef, just keep practising, work hard and I'm sure you'll become a star chef.

Instead of chopping the head off, you could 1st snip the neck, and pull away the head with the guts along with it. Saves you the step of potentially cutting into the guts which discolours the fish

I'm not sure the exact brand, but it's a traditional Japanese chef's knife called a deba. It's beveled on one side only. His technique isn't the "Japanesiest" though (in my opinion, but I'm no expert). He's using some western knife handling techniques too. It works, but for this style of fish filleting, I'd prefer a really flexible western fillet knife.

Why do you have to remove the head and the guts before filleting it? Why dont you fillet it right away?

@mikechung4886 3 жыл бұрын

Japanese technique when removing head first I believe. And I think they remove the guts first and clean out the impurities before filleting so it doesn’t seep into the actual filets for sashimi, the reason for this fish in particular to have a clean taste.
