Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef

Күн бұрын

I bought this fish from a reputable local seafood company and was prepared to make a beautiful sushi and sashimi dish, but after opening it up I noticed that there was a sizable parasite in it. What I couldn't see are any microscopic parasites that had to be there which will give anyone food poisoning if ingested raw. The sad reality is at many sushi bars, most will just remove the visible parasites and serve the rest as sushi to unknowing patrons; what needs to be done is use this type of fish for tempura or other cooked applications only. At $43 for this 3.5 pound fish, wholesale, it's very expensive; you couldn't just throw the entire thing away so as a business, you're forced to do the right thing. But how many will?
When visiting your favorite sushi bar, make sure you can trust their practices, and hopefully you won't get sick because if ingested raw, you will have the worst experience of a lifetime as this type of parasite will multiply in your gastronomical system, and one day when you need to make a bowel movement, you will see this stringy mucus ramen looking parasite hanging from your rectum. As you're not sure what it is, you use toilet paper to wipe it away only to feel a sensation that travels far deep into your colon that is more psychologically disturbing than actual pain, because it isn't painful at all. But knowing that there are many feet or yards of this living specimen inside your body will mentally destroy your mind's well being.
This is exactly what happened to one of us.

While there is inherent risk when eating anything raw, it is illegal to serve sushi that has not been frozen in the US. Parasites cannot survive extreme temperatures for extended periods of time, so the freezing regulations are quite effective. Obviously not everyone likes eating fish that was frozen because it is not "fresh", but I would rather sacrifice a little taste than have a 30 foot tapeworm (they can live for 20+ years btw).

I was born and raised on Kodiak Island in Alaska and my parents always took my sister and I out on our 22 foot Bayliner every weekend to spend the day halibut fishing in the middle of the ocean. I'm 45 now and to this day I've always thought halibut are right eyed and flounder are left eyed. But it's one of those things you're told as a child and accept as one of the universe's truths set in stone so I can't say I've ever actually lifted a finger to verify the information. 🤣 Anyways, I'll leave you with this memory. Halibut live on the ocean floor as bottom feeders, which is why their eyes are on one side of their head. They can also grow to be several hundred pounds in size, like I'm talking 600, 700 delicious pounds, maybe even larger. Not sure of the record on that. Because of the location and size of these fish, they can't be caught with just any old setup. You need to be in the middle of the ocean, you need to have specific halibut poles designed to be able to reel these beasts in, your pole needs to have a big ass hook that's bigger than most people even know hooks come in and weights so that you can drop your hook many hundreds of feet to the depths of the ocean, you need to have big ass chunks of herring to bait those big ass hooks because it's a fish eat fish world out there, and your boat needs to be able to handle the ensuing battle you'll fight when reeling one in. It's going to be exhausting, you're going to put in more work than you'll be prepared for, your whole body will be fighting against the weight of the beast and the resistance it meets when being dragged up from the murky depths, you WILL be sweating, and it will take what seems like your entire life to get that sucker from the ocean floor up to the surface. Once at the surface you'll then need what's called a gaff to hook the flesh and heave it up into the boat and it's going to be like trying to get a live tuna on the boat. Your boat MUST be able to accommodate a live halibut bucking and flopping and slapping it's flat body against everything. If your boat is a small pleasure craft, such as a 22 foot Bayliner for example, then one cannot bring that fish on board. You might as well just sink the boat yourself lol. My mom, sister, and I were never strong enough to reel them in so once we'd get a fish on, we'd pass the pole to my 6 foot 6 inch dad to do for us. So to solve the issue of boat size versus halibut size, after my dad would reign victorious in the battle of man against beast and get the fish to the surface, he would then brandish his 357 Magnum revolver, point it at the fish, and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, problem solved. Imagine a large man in plaid flannel with 80's pork chop side burns occupying his sweaty and red face yet still eerily calm firing a few rounds off to dispatch this 500 pound ancient looking fish. You could hear the echo of that Clint Eastwood hand cannon resounding over and over and over and over as it traveled across the miles and miles of ocean surrounding us and getting softer and softer as it disappeared. Man, I love Alaska.

There are “right-eye” and “left-eye” flatfish. The Pacific Halibut, for example is a right-eye flatfish. Turbot and Summer Flounder are left-eye flatfish. During their juvenile stage ALL flatfish have one eye on BOTH sides of their head and they live in the water column like ''normal'' fish and Not on the ocean floor. They settle to the ocean floor once they reach the adult stage. At this stage, the eyes migrate to one side of the head depending on what species they are.

I guess it's a way of showing that the meat or poultry is of the highest quality, and that it has been raised and prepared to the highest standards, so that we don't need to worry about being infested with internal parasites. However, as Hiro-san said, all it takes is for someone to want to make money from something that was expensive but isn't fit for purpose and, hey presto!

It ensures there’s less need to wash off scales and protective slime from the fish after filleting. If you aren’t picky about the finished product appearance, you could hold off descaling, but for pretty restaurant grade plated fish, whether sashimi or tempura, it needs to be as intact and blemish-free as possible.

@lecorny007 3 жыл бұрын

@john stolz yes it is very safe unless you excessively overdosed, deworming medications (anthelmintics) are advised to be taken every 4-6 months as a parasite prevention method as well as parasite elimination. I’ve never had any severe side effects, aside from 1-2 days of mild fever. These medications are classified as anti-parasitic with very few containing a small amount of antibiotic such as Metronidazole. They are designed to get rid of worms and taeniasis, nothing more.

This is something I found, is it true? Positioning of the Eyes The weirdest thing about flatfish, such as flounder and halibut, is that they have both eyes on one side of their bodies. This happens as they grow. One eye tends to migrate slowly to one side of their head, leaving them with both eyes on the same side. When it comes to halibut, the eyes will always be on the right side of the head. It’s very rare to find halibut that are left-eyed. In fact, only 1 in every 20,000 or so are left-eyed. Flounders, however, can go either way. You can find one that is right-sighted and another that is left-sighted, but the eyes will always be on one side of the head.

When you catch and clean your own fish, you see that parasites are just something to expect. Almost every fish you catch of ground living species like flatfish and cod have them in their guts if you look for them. Luckily they aren't often in the flesh. Personally, the only fish I eat raw are fish like tuna and mackerel, that live fast and die young!
