Did anyone who thought the treatment of the fish was inhumane at all notice that the fish were not alive while they were filleted? They were using an electric knife, thats why the fish appeared to be "moving."
Whaaaahhh, snap their spines, hit 'em on the head, Whaaah. That just more work and extra steps on a small work surface. You think a bear of mountain lion gives a crap how much it hurts? No, they care about calories.
I'm a huge fan of the guy but I'm not going to make excuses for him. What I just saw was cruel and unappetizing . And yes, it's no nerves, they had just been caught and they were well alive! For people watching it, just kill it or place them in a bucket with water because it would be the same as if you suffocated for a few minutes and got skinned alive right before you died. I'm not a vegetarian, but there are better ways of being respectful to your food.
@viniciusb OH MY GOD, shut up! they were all dead, it's vibrations from the electric knife. Did you see the gills flexing or the mouth pacing? no! they were dead!
@intoximacated Nervous twitches. You see that in dead organisms, especially when handling something with as relatively simple a nervous system as a fish.
@hanghuy82 it's actually a hassle to cut fish when they're alive because they simply move around way too much. seeing as how the knife used was an electric knife, that's probably where you're seeing the vibrations.
quit your bitching its a fish, its at the dead bottom of the food chain, its only point in life is to be eaten by a predator, Bear Grylls has eaten fish alive in so many of his shows just harpoons them and rips their flesh off with his teeth, do you know why? Cos thats life! thats the food chain! we are at the top WE ARE PREDATORS, some of us have bad DNA and somehow end up as herbivores but most of us are Omnivores, remember fish do absolutely nothing of importance.
@PPPrulez You know, humans are suppose to be eaten by predators too. And the bottom of the food chain? Oh please... please finnish third grade before spamming the internet with your stupidness...
@11moii I love how a little kid like yourself is trying to act eloquent and smart.
Part of what puts humans at the top of the food chain is resourcefulness and ability to adapt. Of COURSE tools are going to be part of the equation; human instinct and natural desire to live is what caused us to create tools in the first place.
However, there's no sense using science when debating with retards.
awesome video again, I need to get an electric knife to make my life simpler for fish and meat, and a good idea for my own family to spend time together. The little babies that think animals grow on trees and don't need to be slaughtered to be eaten need to go home and suck their thumbs.
Why hello there.... i like your videos which is kinda rare. then againe i am high... chchchhc check out my viddeos! greatly appreiacateed i am drunk bye love you times 093q84092840928402384092384023984093 plus 8 to the 8th power divided by 9.4 though! which is just the cliche but you know what can a platypus do. hi my name is erin & i like paper towwels. the end. ps: I love stuff.
People are so ridiculous. It's freaking fish. Why argue? If you don't like the sight of fish being killed or if you don't eat fish. why the hell are you watching. the title said "FRESH PERCH" damnnnnnn
If they weren't dead at that point from suffocating (fish out of water), then they'd be dead basically as soon as the electric knife made the first cut, so stop arguing. Also, fish have fundamentally different anatomy from that of humans, dogs, cats etc. Please don't apply our physiology to FISH. It's ignorant.
The fish story that wouldnt die ......hes dead already , let him rest in peace....!!!....if the friggin fish was alive , the kid did not know it , and neither did the good Chef John , I mean really do you think he said , son that ones alive let skin his ass.....!!!! , come on people lets get real , it was nerves from the fish and if it wasent who gives a rats ass it was not on purpose , thats why we are all human and everyone makes mistakes ,give it a friggin rest......!!!!!
Just because the fish moved doesn't mean it was alive. Ever heard the saying "running around like a chicken with its head cut off"? Bodies can still react even when they're completely dead and feel nothing.
I sorta disagree, the difference between fresh fish like that, and not so fresh store fish is like the difference between mc donalds and a perfect beef.
please stop the sexual references and the hate comments. seriously, how else did you expect them to eat it? this is a modern world and they use modern methods. and if you're vegetarians, DON'T CRITICIZE. if you're gonna criticize something criticize vegetables not something you already hate!
As one of the people who makes lots of elaborate dishes, but stays away from fish, rest assured that you've convinced me to give it a shot later this week.
grow some ball hair people theres way worse things going on in the world right now. sorry that your innocent little eyes had to see the poor little fish...pussies...
If you go to 2:10, the fish has a spasm while its being cut. I'm not sure if the electric current cause that reaction, but I hope the fish was dead so it didn't go through that.
@portelli91 The electric current's energy is converted to mechanical energy at the motor of the knife. The movement of the blades have no voltage relative to the fish. The movement was not due to electricity.
@ASkyofHeads Sigh... I don't want to argue with you, you might be right, but that guy said that he has a lot of experience with fishing, and he accidentally filleted a live fish before, and the fish was flopping like crazy. Kind of makes sense that the fish would be flopping around like crazy, and not just move its gills if it was getting skinned right?
Again, i don't think chef john would be that cruel to animals.
THE GODAMN FISH IS DEAD!!!!!! HE ONLY STRIKED THE NERVES!!! I ALWAYS HAPPENS WITH FRESH FISH!!!! AND HE IS ALSO USING AN ELECTRIC KNIFE, THAT GIVES SOME OF THE MOVEMENT TOOOOOO!!!!!!
@ASkyofHeads Well, i've never filleted any fish so i don't know anything, but again, I'm pretty sure chef john and that family are pretty experienced, and most likely would have already killed the fish.
Again, the previous highest rated comment stated that the fish are already dead, and the knives are only striking the nerves.
Oh lord, people are crying over a fish fillet on the internet. Someone alert the media before this injustice continues. Oh, never mind, it's just a fish and nobody cares.
People say here, eating fish is disgusting are disgusting people.. guys, wake up.. this is the real life and not a kindergarten ..even eating plants is killing one potential life on earth so.. its makes no sin..
Just learn how icefishing goes and cook the meal perfectly for honor and respekt for the animal, it would be thanking to be a meal for a very, veryproffesional and awesome cook like chef john ^^
You people are retarded O_o The fishes were dead already and that "movement" of that fish was OBVIOUSLY caused by the electric knife... THINK before you write some unnecessary hateful words...
And stop being hypocrite. Unless you are vegetarian you've got no right to say such stupid things... You think that the "meat" you eat killed itself? You should see how big meat companies manufacture animals on a big scale. THAT would SCARE you...
@NurikoDB It's not hypocritical to have the opinion that an animal should be killed as quickly as possible rather than being carved alive. Cattle must be bled, but slaughterhouses employ the captive bolt gun to spare them the experience of bleeding to death. How is it hypocritical or "being a pussy" to support such practices? Do people *really* believe that skipping the whack on the head before filleting the fish keeps them from being called a pussy?
@NurikoDB Your statement shows a lack of understanding of how an electric knife works. Electricity goes through the motor, which converts that energy into mechanical energy to do work. There is no potential difference between the blade of the knife and the fish, so no electricity goes through the fish at all. If you want to understand how the knife works, search for "how electric knife works."
With that said, the movement of the fish was due to being alive.
@NurikoDB uuuh... You can clearly see the fish that was supposed to get killed later twitch, although the electric knife wasn't touching it. Also, it's gills were moving. Dumbass..
@11moii IT WAS CUTTING THROUGH A NERVE the fish are all dead, why don't you try going fishing for once in your life instead of showcasing your lack of fish knowledge on the internet
@PPPrulez Are you completely brainless??? The impulses from the fuckign nerves have to process in the fucking brain! ANd the fish next to it? It tail was flopping, the saw wasn't even touching it. Grow the fuck up, get some brains and please stop using the internet. My IQ is getting lower by the second. Really.
@11moii actually, the fish that the electric knife was cutting had its tail go up because of the whole nerve thing and it just happened to be that the fish that "twitched" had its tail laying slightly over the tail of the first fish. If you rewatch you can see that it didn't move after that.
"why did you fillet the fishes when they were still alive??" Geez people, do you eat meat? You know cows, chickens, and pigs got SLAUGHTERED when they were still alive, right? So unless you're 100% vegan, stop b*tching!!!!
@nguoithutu You know, vegetarians don't kill animals while they're alive. So your statement about having to "100 % vegan" to inform people about killing an animal while it's alive is pretty.. not good..
@11moii Eating 1 egg = killing a potential animal for me. Anyway, eating vegetables = killing plans. So we all can shut up and enjoy the video, don't you think?
@nguoithutu An egg isn't an unborn chick yah know... Because they're unfertilized.... common sense buddy. And the last time I checked, plants can't feel pain... or move... or have nerves... or bones... or muscles...
@11moii You're totally right, buddy. Plans don't feel anything so it's okay to kill them. However, animals can feel pain so it's not okay to kill animals. Let's put lions and tigers in jail!!!!
@nguoithutu Please, think before you speak. it's getting really REALLY dumb now. Did you know that humans benefit from not eating meat? Did you know that lions would DIE if they'd stop eating meat??
OMG! So cool huh?
And humans are suppose to know what's best for them... tsk tsk...
@11moii OMG!!! I DID NOT KNOW THAT! Lol. Take it easy, buddy. It was supposed to be a joke. Did not eating meat make you that angry? I kid, I kid. =D Well, I know that we get most of our protein from eating meat and everyone has a choice for eating meat or not. So chill out. Props for you, vegetarians and vegans. Life is beautiful, look at the sky. :D
remember just because something moves doesnt mean its alive, not saying the fish were dead but it doesnt mean they were alive. Ever seen people sprinkle salt of raw frogs legs? Look it up here on youtube. Bro.
Omg, just laughing .. xD ..ohman, i like this video such proffesional filleting by the kids in this young age ...they have skill :D
i've doin also because a friend made clearly a same trip and it was awesome so tasty, ok.. my version was with some onions and some chinese noodles ..but the hole freshness was blowin up in my mouth and taste the sea in my heart :)
@dynamite4life If you knew that you were going to die, would you rather go instantaneously or have your insides ripped apart in front of you? It was inevitable, but I thought that it was terrible to see the fish go through so much pain.
@dynamite4life I'm no fisherman, but I've went fishing a couple times and the most humane method was to use blunt force against the head. It keeps the meat fresh and doesn't put the fish through a great deal of pain since its a quick death.
guys for real calm down they are not alive fishes watch the video again and they was shaking only because of the electric knife that all so thank chef John and i am really glad to see how you looks like
I am sure none of us would like swimming around in FREEZING cold water covered in ice like the fish in this video, it would be extremely painful and would kill us if we stayed too long, but somehow miraculously it doesn't seem to bother the fish in the least, in fact they seem to love it?! hmmmmm...how is this possible? I guess maybe we'll have to admit that fish are not humans and stop assuming they feel things the same way we do.
Hey Chef John i'm a massive fan you may remember me from such comments as 'high heat and teflon is poisonous' and now on february 11th 2011 i see you deglazing teflon. i mean you gotta do what you gotta do, but don't force me to hold my own 18-day vigil on your internet comments, with hourly twitter-like updates on the status of the president of pans and his apparent refusal to step down. PEACEFULLY!
some people don't kill their fish immediately after catch it seems. we always did. most do.
why do so many people just like to compare a human to a fish?? if you are a fish i'm gonna eat you alive... PETA is screwing your mind with naked women... fuck PETA..
i dont even care anymore about dogs' 'rights'... but fish? com'on... why dont you say with you treat vegetable cruelly??? they are alive too, you know?
I doubt that most of the people whom are actually complaining about the how the fish are treated actually check how the fish they eat and buy have been treated.
@chickensaurusrex711 dude. every fresh fish that's being cleaned and prepped is not alive, rather unconscious. ask every fish butcher in supermarkets, i bet they'd be glad to show you how it's done.

@NurikoDB Your statement shows a lack of understanding of how an electric knife works. Electricity goes through the motor, which converts that energy into mechanical energy to do work. There is no potential difference between the blade of the knife and the fish, so no electricity goes through the fish at all. If you want to understand how the knife works, search for "how electric knife works."
With that said, the movement of the fish was due to being alive.

@NurikoDB the electric knife part is bullshit, but i agree with the rest.

@NurikoDB uuuh... You can clearly see the fish that was supposed to get killed later twitch, although the electric knife wasn't touching it. Also, it's gills were moving. Dumbass..

@11moii IT WAS CUTTING THROUGH A NERVE the fish are all dead, why don't you try going fishing for once in your life instead of showcasing your lack of fish knowledge on the internet

@PPPrulez Are you completely brainless??? The impulses from the fuckign nerves have to process in the fucking brain! ANd the fish next to it? It tail was flopping, the saw wasn't even touching it. Grow the fuck up, get some brains and please stop using the internet. My IQ is getting lower by the second. Really.

chickensaurusrex711 1 year ago
@11moii actually, the fish that the electric knife was cutting had its tail go up because of the whole nerve thing and it just happened to be that the fish that "twitched" had its tail laying slightly over the tail of the first fish. If you rewatch you can see that it didn't move after that.

"why did you fillet the fishes when they were still alive??" Geez people, do you eat meat? You know cows, chickens, and pigs got SLAUGHTERED when they were still alive, right? So unless you're 100% vegan, stop b*tching!!!!

@nguoithutu You know, vegetarians don't kill animals while they're alive. So your statement about having to "100 % vegan" to inform people about killing an animal while it's alive is pretty.. not good..

@11moii Eating 1 egg = killing a potential animal for me. Anyway, eating vegetables = killing plans. So we all can shut up and enjoy the video, don't you think?
nguoithutu 1 year ago
@nguoithutu An egg isn't an unborn chick yah know... Because they're unfertilized.... common sense buddy. And the last time I checked, plants can't feel pain... or move... or have nerves... or bones... or muscles...
11moii 1 year ago
@11moii You're totally right, buddy. Plans don't feel anything so it's okay to kill them. However, animals can feel pain so it's not okay to kill animals. Let's put lions and tigers in jail!!!!

@nguoithutu Please, think before you speak. it's getting really REALLY dumb now. Did you know that humans benefit from not eating meat? Did you know that lions would DIE if they'd stop eating meat??
OMG! So cool huh?
And humans are suppose to know what's best for them... tsk tsk...
11moii 1 year ago
@11moii OMG!!! I DID NOT KNOW THAT! Lol. Take it easy, buddy. It was supposed to be a joke. Did not eating meat make you that angry? I kid, I kid. =D Well, I know that we get most of our protein from eating meat and everyone has a choice for eating meat or not. So chill out. Props for you, vegetarians and vegans. Life is beautiful, look at the sky. :D

@dynamite4life If you knew that you were going to die, would you rather go instantaneously or have your insides ripped apart in front of you? It was inevitable, but I thought that it was terrible to see the fish go through so much pain.

@portelli91 How you do you think the fish should be killed then?
dynamite4life 1 year ago
@dynamite4life I'm no fisherman, but I've went fishing a couple times and the most humane method was to use blunt force against the head. It keeps the meat fresh and doesn't put the fish through a great deal of pain since its a quick death.

MrTechGuy1995 1 year ago
I am sure none of us would like swimming around in FREEZING cold water covered in ice like the fish in this video, it would be extremely painful and would kill us if we stayed too long, but somehow miraculously it doesn't seem to bother the fish in the least, in fact they seem to love it?! hmmmmm...how is this possible? I guess maybe we'll have to admit that fish are not humans and stop assuming they feel things the same way we do.

Hey Chef John i'm a massive fan you may remember me from such comments as 'high heat and teflon is poisonous' and now on february 11th 2011 i see you deglazing teflon. i mean you gotta do what you gotta do, but don't force me to hold my own 18-day vigil on your internet comments, with hourly twitter-like updates on the status of the president of pans and his apparent refusal to step down. PEACEFULLY!
