buy a new knife

[TheWargod66]

Does eating this give you worms and stuff?

[joshgunner99]

@TheWargod66

Yes if prepared without pre freezing for certain length and time and making sure the inside of the fish meat is frozen as well.

If you don't freeze it, you may get a tapeworm.

I figured the sushi grade salmon means it's already been prefrozen prior

[TheLittlePony999]

i love salmon sushi!!!

[RabidTechnical]

Is there a process for preparing the salmon to get rid of any "fishy smell or taste" ? I noticed that salmon sushi almost has no traces of a fish smell but most raw salmon bought does...

[vraymond02]

@RabidTechnical fishy smell = old or wasn't prepared for raw consumption. that is why there is sushi grade fish and then regular raw fish. sushi grade means. it was properly handled from being caught to gutting, deboning, and filleting. raw fish from the market doesn't need much special attention because it was probably meant to be cooked. poke the fish meat w/ your finger and it has a bounce and the meat is firm and tight then its fresh. bold bright vibrant colors also means fresh.

[RabidTechnical]

@vraymond02 I figured I simply wasn't buying the right grade, I'll have to begin searching for a store that sells sushi grade meats. Thanks for the reply...

[vraymond02]

if buying a whole fish, check for clear eyes, vibrant color under the gills and elastic bounce when poking skin

[Ssushiiii]

Anyone know where I can buy sushi like that?

[dmix09]

Why doesn't my salmon look that good? :(

[xxaimpiratexx]

Last time I had raw salmon on rice, 40 minutes later I reunited with a High school friend that didn't like me so much back then, went into their bathroom for 15 minutes and shit out brown chicken and dumplings all into her toilet. Then said good seeing you again, bye.

[supakiwibaby]

wow looks so good!

[idm071]

When you buy sushi grade fish from the market is it pre-frozen at -20C or does sushi grade just mean its fresh?

[vraymond02]

@idm071 a lot of people get confused on what sushi grade fish means. When you go to a market and you ask them if they have sushi grade fish, what you are really asking is, "Do you have fish that was properly handled from being caught, gutted, transported, then sliced into blocks. Majority of the time the fish is cut then frozen then pre-thawed for consumers before you get a chance to see it frozen in the refrigeration section. Of course once frozen the quality of the fish is distorted

this chef is amaizing

[eduardobag]

[cartoonetworklover]

[RegDINO]

@nahuelita he is slow to show and demonstrate. 

[mikejessmax]

I LOVE SALMON SUSHI more than the maki & I love Shrimp Tempura temaki. I go to the sushi buffet on the weekends for $22.95 just to eat this. I'm currently pregnant & eat like a teenage football player & I told my hubby to take me there to make a dent on their salmon supply. I think they do the buffet so that everything they get delivered doesn't go to waste. I'ma try this at home, THANKS!

[vraymond02]

@mikejessmax o no! thats good to hear that you like sushi but make sure its cooked. If you're pregnant the doctor should have recommended that you do not eat raw fish because of the mercury content. but yea any other cooked sushi should be fine.

[mikejessmax]

@vraymond02 I actually DID talk to the doc & he said that once every 2 weeks or more it's ok. It also depends on what kind of fish it is. I should have tuna ONCE a month but the salmon (raw or smoked) it's ok, after that everything else I eat is cooked. Thanks for caring.

[Alcoholdeficient]

@vraymond02 Woooooh hold up. Cooking does not change the mercury content, it is strongly bound to the proteins in fish, its the potential bacteria issue that the doctors are on about. Tuna has high mercury so steer clear of that while pregnant but salmon generally has lower levels which are safe levels for pregnant women

[bananaman22]

@vraymond02 mercury content does not change whether its raw or burnt at 1000 degrees.

[vraymond02]

@bananaman22 you are absolutely right

[ashleyjamesdoran]

@vraymond02 good to see someone not afraid to admit they were wrong on here, you truely are a scholar and a gentleman.

May I put that in pregnancy it is always best to err on the side of caution. you can always check to see if somthing is safe online, but you can only hurt your baby the once.

[briantexts]

@mikejessmax

enjoy your down syndrome baby eating all of that mercury you dumb bitch.

[mikejessmax]

@briantexts actually BEFORE I ATE IT I asked the doctor & he said it was ok as long as it was every 2-3 weeks. The baby's born he's actually QUITE HEALTHY & does not have down syndrome at all. Salmon doesn't have the mercury as much as TUNA would have it, ASSHOLE.

[nahuelita]

your are so fucking slow..!!!... what the fuck???

[cartoonetworklover]

@nahuelita Cooking takes time.

[vicky06y]

@nahuelita This is a tutorial! You fucking dumb bitch!

[nahuelita]

what the fuck????

[PerplexityStudios]

is that raw? or is it smoked?

[Jayfoxpox]

@PerplexityStudios

judging based on the colour and how it glistens I am sure it is a regular raw salmon ( though technically smoked is also raw)

[saiano1]

That dish costs $180...

[LegendaryGoldDragon]

That sucks about the Audio Raymond T_T

Wish I had a knife that nice!

No more sushi cutting/chicken choping booboos!

[gagagaaj]

[richardrules13397]

[se7endreams]

[reckazz]

[chaidevil97]

[Alejandro94loppas]

[ccccnwot]

@chaidevil97 NO :O

[sr7olsniper]

hey i have a question. Is the salmon in there any type of salmon or is has to be special kind? I can buy salmon at costco and sutff but not so sure about eating it raw like that... I can also purchase sashimi sushi ready to eat but the costco one is a lot cheaper.

[sukiyakiamerica]

thank you so much. I'm also sushi chef every move learning from you . thank

[sukiyakiamerica]

you my sensei. thank you. I like your knife. Where did you get that? May I have information? Arigato.

[vraymond02]

you can ask me anything you want and ill give you my best answer. the knife i have is a shun slicing knife 9 inch, you can get it on amazon for about 70 dollars

[robbi23]

Nice video. Really like the presentation on the dish. I've learned alot from this.

[ShoesOnAcid]

Where do you get soft raw salmon like that? Here, its all rock frozen.

Do I have to defrost it (by leaving it out) until it becomes soft and raw like that?

[vraymond02]

if u go to a japanese market they should have fresh fillets unfrozen ready to purchase. if you have them frozen already then yes let it thaw out at room temperature. Don't use water to help it thaw.. especially warm or hot water or the fish will be cooked right away. just let it sit there and thaw out then toss it in the fridge and use it within 48 hours, fridge when not using

[bananaman22]

@vraymond02 are frozen fillets okay? what if they smell very fishy? how do i get rid of the fishy smell. or is that fish not fit for sashimi?

[vraymond02]

@bananaman22 Yes, frozen fillets are fine. As most places freeze them anyway and then thaw them out for sale. If its smelly then you the fish was dead for a long time before it had proper care. Smelly fish is not fit for sashimi. Old and smelly fish that was still edible came to the invention of spicy salmon and spicy tuna which masks the old taste. but if a fish smells horrible or the color is hella distorted just toss it.

[vraymond02]

@banaman22 The average sushi restaurant get the fish on ice pre-gutted, cut it, freeze it because there's no way an average restaurant can serve up that much fish and save on transportation or a minimum purchase is involved for a certain price.  When you go to the expensive restaurant, they have the flexibility to never freeze and throw away raw fish that has past its shelf life for safe consumption.

[eightwillwontcannot]

i wish i could make nigiri even half as good as this. my attempts look like a fucking carcrash. great vid - the best nigiri one i've seen so far on youtube!

[tknmylife]

@eightwillwontcannot LOL. i laughed so hard at the carcrash!

[mememe123123]

This will be my first time actually handling raw fish, and im a little scared im going to end up poisioning the entire family xD

do you have any tips or things i should be aware about handling raw fish?

How likely is it that someone could get sick from eating a contaminated salmon or something like that?

thanks in advance.

[janok2]

Thank you! This is a very practical and useful video! Just what I was looking for, great for a sushi newbie :)

[IamFreeRu]

Can I purchase the salmon fillet from a grocery store? Can I purchase ready sushi rice?

[vraymond02]

you can purchase both at a japanese market

[4zn4ngelz]

Basically isn't sushi made with raw food?

[anggeh02]

how do u eat that? i mean there's no soy sauce?? only wasabe? here in Philippines we use to eat that with soy sauce and wasabe, we combined BOTH! then we dip the salmon!!

[vraymond02]

every dish comes with soy sauce i just don't incorporate that into the vids. im just showin u have to make the main dish

[ShoesOnAcid]

IGNORANT!

lol

[SecretLovee]

When I go to sushi restaurants they dont put that big of a piece of fish on my sushi! LOL

[aznmou]

thank your for your advice now im gonna "attempt" to cut me some salmon!

[NinjaHURRR]

ah, so that's how you get the skin off...thanks man

[vraymond02]

if you are cutting a whole fish then yes you should wash it thoroughly. Washing a salmon fillet is a different story. If you don't think the fillet is clean then you can wash it gently with low cold running water. Excessive water will break the salmon fillet apart. Water will seep into the cracks between the fat and meat and break open.  If that happens you cant use it for sashimi or nigiri. Only salmon sushi rolls. =T So be careful when you are washing fish.

[aznmou]

do you have to wash the fish before cutting?
