The Tuna King
I have always had a fascination with the sea and its animals from a young age; I think this comes from being from one of the maritime centers of the US. There, sailing is a common pastime, fishing is something you can make a living from, and while the brackish waters of the bay do not allow for the giant fish of the ocean, I still can marvel at what it would be like to see giant tuna.
The video is about a man named Yukitaka Yamaguchi who cuts, grades, and sells tuna for a living at the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo. His insights on Tuna and how one should treat their craft are interesting, and I would recommend watching if you are a fan of sashimi or food in general. I could hear many of the particles he said, although his speech was very fast, which is good practice as it is realistic. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trbl4RNgKO0
Yo Bluefin Tuna are insane. They are huge and can be extremely expensive. Sometimes I find myself watching videos of fishermen chopping them up. It's really quite a strange pastime of mine, but I would highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteTuna is definitely something I would try in Japan. Especially if its fresh. Have you ever watched the show Wicked Tuna? It's about the fishermen who catch tuna and it's pretty interesting imo.
