How to bleed a fish

[thabood]

1:07 I'm sure I heard Kermit the Frog

[shariotoflove]

i also agree with the guy at the end of the video, ive never heard the word gamey be used for salmon lol. btw, wouldnt it be better to do this when it's alive when the heart is beating faster?

[ctyuang]

That's exactly what I did to that hooker last night.

[GreyGooseVodka555]

so is it the gills that you cut?

[cobias]

The best salmon and steelhead fisherman/guide youll ever see.

[JhOpG1DrIfTz]

nice fish and good video thanks im going fishing for trevally tommoz and i went yesterday and caught 5 of them so im going to try my luck again.

[FOSICKLIKEWHA1]

quick and easy, do you ice them at all?



[epicchapnasty]

do you have to bleed all fish?

[wisyakman]

@epicchapnasty if you bleed the fish the meat tastes so much better, and yes this will work with all fish

[206ernesto]

@epicchapnasty if you want good quality meat yes, you have to.

the taste is way better.

Just like Axeman02 is saying how to do it the right way

[Axeman02]

catch... cut... bleed...it dies faster with a beating heart than knocking it unconsious then letting it drown in oxygen.

[gantonski]

so you kill it first?

whats the process from catching>killing>bleeding a fish? when i was younger i couldnt effectively twist its neck to kill it (smaller fish) and i dont want to run into that problem again, its kind of awkward.

[IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

@gantonski you dont kill it first. if you did that the heart would not help with the pumping out of the blood. the heart still beats this way helping to pump the blood out of the fish

[check2wice]

the blood has most of the flavor. you would fail cooking school. the reason you sear a steak is to keep the blood and the juices in so that the meat is tender... you bleed a fish so that it dies fast and doesnt suffer for too long

[gravis00]

@check2wice Dummy. Fish blood is not good. Its not a cow. What fish have you ever eatin that had red juices coming out when on your plate. Dont speak.

[o56kid]

@check2wice you bleed a fish to have blood free meat & eggs. . . . . . . . .

Cooking fish and beef have NOTHING to do with eachother. . .

[FishingMaster27]

Thats not right to keep a female fish

[o56kid]

@FishingMaster27 What are you talking about??

[FishingMaster27]

@o56kid the thing is full of eggs you throw it back

[o56kid]

@FishingMaster27 There is NOTHING in the rule book that says that. . .

Infact, i can kill 20 hens if I want, but i would rather keep a bright buck. . .

[FishingMaster27]

@o56kid ik there is no rule but its not right

[IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

@FishingMaster27 who told you its not right? let me tell you something you dont know. that is a hatchery raised fish not a native to the river system. hatchery fish should be taken from the river that is what they are there for. number two is (you can even ask O.D.F.W AND W.D.F.W) the fish and game people actually prefer that roe baring females should be taken so that hatchery fish are not breeding with the native fish creating hybrids and destroying the native gene pool. sorry but you are wrong

[MrRavagers]

@FishingMaster27 if its full of eggs you don't have to throw it back

[206ernesto]

@MrRavagers no, you can cure them and use them as bait.

[Bravehear71992]

anybody complaining the best way to do it is to spike the brain first, this causes less thrashing about and less adrenaline being released as the fish realises 'shit im not in water' after the brain spike you bleed the gills and chuck into a bucket of salt water (if salt water species) with ice in it. this makes for a perfect eating fish.

BTW awesome technique, i always just cut vertical from the base up towards the spine, but this seems to be more effective.

[PipeGamer]

im going to link this vid to peta :D

[molebeus]

sweet

[BLOODYCLQ]

vampire 

[userkc2008]

Do you bleed all kinds of fishes ?

[mz2ykt]

How do you remove oil from a fish?

[94dicky94]

@mz2ykt MEGA lol

[kawaiixvocaloids]

this is why i hate fish

[metal0artist0kyle]

@kawaiixvocaloids you hate a fish cause it has blood?....k

[kawaiixvocaloids]

@metal0artist0kyle its how people kill it.

my mom gets aN live one out of the bag and chops its head off and blood spared everywhere.

[margatelover69]

@kawaiixvocaloids your mum sounds nice

[kawaiixvocaloids]

@margatelover69 not really

[kawaiixvocaloids]

@margatelover69 this is animal abuse

[freespadersuggs]

great video, I'v seen pepole bleed fish withiout knocking it out, and just ripping the gills immediately once got in the boat. that shit bothers me. it seems your method you at least waited until the fish was somewhat out of it.........maybe I am mistaken but nice job

[Jmac0585]

Why?! WHY!? That's so creu.... delicious!

[o56kid]

Can you do it just after you have clobberd them over the head to disbatch them?

[cjacustomwoodworking]

Yes, either way will work.

[dethfield]

I wonder if you could make a soup out of the fish blood or something? I have heard of "Duck blood soup", which is a polish dish...

[baconator490]

i wouldnt because if the water is full of poisinous bacteria thats in the fish's blood.

[dethfield]

@baconator490 If the water's full of poisonous bacteria, why eat the fish in the first place? Wouldn't it accumulate in the meat  itself? Maybe if you brought it to a boil, it'd kill the bacteria... Maybe.

[bobbyraymedina]

@dethfield who said anything about poisonous bacteria?? what video what you watching....Sheeesh!

[dethfield]

@bobbyraymedina Baconator490's the one who said that the fish is full of poisonous bacteria.

Now that I think about it, I'd be more worried about pollutants than bacteria.

[MrTylerdavis17]

nice fish scott!! way to keep the box bloody!
