How To Professionally Fillet Whole Flounder aka Hirame (Flatfish) WITH PARASITES! Would you eat it?
Vložit

- 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.

Dude is unreal with that knife. He could peel a layer of rubber off a water balloon.
Facts....I mean if u got master in front of ur name, I think it’s almost as good as dr.
@@jeyDsixx18 honestly, Imagine how many hours went into this craft the dedication is unreal
honestly not that difficult after filletting a few fish. its basically the same process across all species
you can do that if you practice enough, enough means 5~10 years LOL.
@@techshabby0001 I wonder how much it costs to sharpen it to his liking also lol
The description tho... "But knowing that there are many feet or yards of this living specimen inside your body will mentally destroy your mind's well being."
I now never want sushi agian
"This is exactly what happened to one of us" that's what made me truely frightened as they have first hand experience, thus making it more trustworthy and you can't just brush it off as it being overly exagerated
All fish have worms
There are wiggly wormy parasites that can really do that. But not all. And tapeworms can reach a span of yards. YARDS.
i mean thats why you cook it
The description gave me chills... I love sashimi and hope I never have to experience this.
Yes…please be careful…find trustworthy sushi places…
The fish for sashimi is frozen to kill any parasites.
@@dennistani1986 wouldn't the eggs still be viable?
@@dennistani1986 Depends where i suppose, here in EU Blast chilling is mandatory but I don't know about the US
@@jimmyvaught Uless they are frozen at least at -30 C degrees, -20 is a bit risky.

You need more like sir
Hey man.. Good job!
Thank you
He's doing God's work
giga chad right here
The sound the knife makes when it hits the bones is so satisfying
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).
Exactly, sushi is fun to make and eat, and to me the flavor of the fish is still there.
Fresh and alive tapeworm is yumny, and definitely adding umami taste?
The eggs survive in the frezer, soo........
@@PTNunoThe way they are frozen isn't a normal freezer.
That second paragraph in your description is some high-octane nightmare fuel
The description is terrifying. 😨 Thank you for being open & honest with us and giving us this useful information.
Thank you for being here...I so appreciate so much!
Anybody who's been eating fish through their life already knows about the parasitic worms freeze it for 60 hours cook it for 1 minute 140 no more parasites if you didn't know this already then you haven't paid attention to what you're eating
Love you and the cameraman for doing this for all of us, for being honest and for being informative
As someone who had to deal with intestinal Parasites I can confirm it is a physical and mental hell
Howd you beat the vile parasite?
@@good_vibes2026 there's medications you take.
@@Jessierae81 ok
*Hugs*

Yes but it’s all true. Everyone needs to be careful when eating raw fish 😩
Yeah I didn’t need to sleep tonight anyways
Thank you for brining it up and make me read it!
It’s important it’s explained like that so people take it seriously
@@DiariesofaMasterSushiChef will freezing the fish before cutting/serving kill the parasites?
I'd be so down to see the cameraman and Hiro switch places for a video, and see how well the food would be prepared. Pretty good content if you ask me
Agreed!!
Maybe soon ☺️
Do it!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"So cameraman/narrator, what have you learned?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got a little excited when you asked if you wanted to try would have been so cool if you did
I don't know who the camera guy/narrator is but he needs to stick to camera work...ONLY! The only thing he does is ask pointless questions. Does he realize how he detracts from our watching a Master Chef?

Haha... try reading the description

I want to see Hiro work his magic on a Northern Pike (aka Jackfish). Delicious fish.
A friend had a parasite once... that description is very fucking accurate. Took the dude a week to start eating normal again and to hang out with his friends again.
Traumatized fr
I love the description, you keep it real 100%, that's what you want to see from people.
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.
i always appreciate when people share their personal story. i read your every word. Thank you.
A magnum to the fish? Based af.
Too much freedom of speech.
Lived in Alaska for 2 years, went Halibut fishing, best fish ever!!!
I remember you and I miss you so much, I'm extremely happy to see you once again! Great videos as always!
It’s 4AM and I’ve got work in a few hours, here’s me watching how a flounder is Filleted 😂😴
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.
The same species depending on geographic location can have either. It is not really a species specific trait in many flattish. It depends on selection pressures for that specific population. Science is always weird lol.
@@rocketpanda29 yea its like some turtles sex being decided by the temperature at which the eggs were kept at a certain stage
Sounds like you should try to catch them while still immature and swimming 'normal', before they become bottom feeders and have parasites.
@@mysticmeadow9116 when they have eyes on both sides of their heads, they're only about an inch long!
I freeze all fish for a few days I intend on using for sushi or sashimi in order to kill any unseen parasites. If I see parasites, I throw the fish away because I can't get that image out of my head.
Many years ago I worked in a fish and chips place. We had fresh cod brought in every morning. At least some of the fish had parasites. I would never eat such fish raw but once it's fried up it's no problem
HELL NAH !
It would have been worth mentioning that deep freezing kills these parasites and that is why deep freezing is required for all commercially supplied fish as have parasites that aren't visible.
I love your vids. I don't know how long I've been subscribed, but I hope it will go on for ever.
Thank you so much for being here...!
Aregato Hiroyuki-san! Thank you for your channel and all the amazing pride you put into your craft!
I learned to cook meat of any kind decades ago. I've backpacked through many countries and escaped from any parasite problems because I only ate well-cooked food. Well, except for giardia, but I got that from a McDonalds in Silicon Valley.
I hope that McDonalds wasn't on First Street off the 101 Freeway. I ate there alot.
There's a mom & pop burger place at Embarcadero and 82 in a shopping center across from Stanford on the south side. William Shockley used to eat there all the time. I don't remember the name of the place.
A total work of art...I would love to go to Japan and learn this skill !!
You showed the full process, I appreciate that! Caught my first halibut and had no idea how to prepare it. Nobody on CZcams showed the scaling or gutting, Which is different than regular fish!
Thank you
I've been watching these guys for years love these dudes
I'm more afraid of eating sushi now more than ever. I look up the parasite and it scared me.
For that title of the video, I wanted to have a bit more explanation about the parasite and how they are handled.
I understand fish often do have parasites in their gut and they tend to move into the meat as time passes after it's been caught and killed, but it also depends on the type of fish - some are more likely to have parasites while others aren't.
Thank you for instructing us, Chef Hiro. My best regards to you and the gentleman behind the camera.
I love watching ur videos, keep up the good work. ❤️
I just ended an exam about parasites and then youtube recommended me this, what a sense of humor the algorithm has.
I dont like when algo thinks for me
How to filet a fish with parasites: Throw it away
All fish will contain some sort of parasite st some stage of life.
Good luck throwing all fish away then, its just thag one doesn't see them all the time, but every fish will definitely have a parasite one way or the other, just cook it properly so that u kill it, never try it raw unless you're stranded in an island and don't kmow hot get a fire going
Sure lets throw away an expensive fish because money grows on tree right.
@@lemi5994 It actually does grow on trees
@@Malitubee bwhahahahaha it really does grow on trees paper=wood=trees😂🤦🏽♂️
Why am I watching this at night? Do I want to lose sleep over this?

Also me: yes
I remember when Hiro-san was still at Nove, when he was preparing that Amberjack that was riddled with worms! Though, talking with other content makers, I've learnt that other fish are affected, amberjacks are the only fish that I've seen harbouring parasites... until now!
I remember that too
I remember that too. In fact, as soon as I saw parasite in the title, that episode was the 1st thing that came 2 mind. Personally, I never eat any meat, poultry, or fish that isn't cooked.
@@juliankremer1900 I like my steak medium rare, but otherwise my meat and poultry has to be cooked, and well done, too, for this very reason. I'm very uncomfortable with the recent culinary trend of serving animal proteins, especially pork and chicken, in what professional chefs call the 'pink' state- basically only half cooked. 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! Suddenly you've got a gut full of tapeworms or worse!
@@carolynallisee2463 pork should be slightly pink in the middle if not overcooked. Follow FDA guidelines and that's what you get. Most people overcook their pork over the fear of a non-existent parasite.
All wild-caught fish is full of parasites, more or less. Which is why many countries, you must freeze it beforehand. Deepfreezing the fish kills the parasite.
No chef is suggesting that poultry is cooked 'rare/pink'. That was a meme for a while and stupid people picked up from it. Unlike beef, salmonella exists throughout the chicken's entire body.
@@Rainsoakedcoat the pork parasite is not non-existent and in fact is the only nematode tapeworm species that can pass through the bodies blood brain barrier and get into a humans brain and can cause serious permanent damage, so please don't pass on bogus information, there are videos on youtube of people that have been infected with the pork tapeworm from undercooked pork and have gotten tapeworm larvae in their brains
great video description 👌
13:23 for the parasite. Please timestamp these things for the future. Took me forever to find it.
Good man
Just relax and enjoy the video....
Thanks dawg
its almost like they make the video for you to watch the whole thing.
U a godsend homie
He makes it look so easy. This was an enjoyable video to watch
His prep is truly an art form.
I have always assumed that flat fish have parasites. I just don't know how small they could be, they were always big when I was catching them. I didnt think it could sashimi.
Reading through the comments while watching this video, I can't help but to point out that often most things do have parasites on occasion. Freezing it before cooking it would help deal with the parasites.
nah, cooking it properly would
@@visceraeyes525 that's if you fully cook it.
The transition from worried to cooking was flawless 😂😂😂
It's always fascinating to watch a skilled person perform a task. Professionals work at a whole other level than those who dabble in something.
The greatest chef every all day everyday.
Thank you for being here :)
Impeccable knife skills!...though I was surprised Hiro-san didn't harvest the cheeks on a fish that size.
he's gonna fry the head and bones. the cheeks will be the delicacy!
Watching this is actually very satisfying.
I have been watching you for awhile now and we are both starting to get that grey hair now! I love your video buddy!
Fascinating! Thank you.
I really appreciate that you show that fish have parasites sometimes. Being in the restaurant business it is always amazing to hear how so many people get freaked out by them. It’s a wild animal and they get those sometimes.
sometimes sounds like an understatement. a LOT of fish have parasites. Thats why we cook them or freeze them at -40 for a while.
@@MSusername69 I bet someone somewhere in china consider these a delicacy/medicine...
Thank you for being here...it is common, and what restaurants do with the fish is an inside secret....there is food cost, so many could pretend they didn't see them and just clean up a little and serve it. It happens...
@@MSusername69 I thought all "sushi grade" fish had to be previously frozen in the US for exactly that reason?
@@MSusername69 Farmed fish are way worse, infested with parasites usually.
Wow, Hiro you are a machine! Beautiful cuts my man!
When I was running my restaurant, we would simply bake this fish. It goes great with ginger and green onion! Delicious!
oh yes...this fish is so good to eat when cooked...!
If I see the parasite I’m like *nope*

So COOL just to watch this chef work, I’m the big fan…thank you so much 😊❤
It’s crazy because the second paragraph is exactly what happened to me when I ate chicken that came in contact with fish I am so happy that I read it because I never knew what that was and doctors had never heard of it. Thank you for posting this I finally got closure
I saw those worms in a Striper caught in the San Francisco Bay. I was young, back in the 70's but I believe it was soaked in wine for a while and they came out. Then it was cooked!
unfortunately that doesn't kill or remove the microscopic eggs so they till have to be cooked well
I felt like jumping out my skin when I saw the parasite! :D
Wow, removing the skin looks sooo effortless! I watched multiple videos on how to remove the skin off a salmon fillet. I wasn’t the best at it. It was my first time ever attempting it. It’s NOT as easy as they make it out to be!
Look forward to the next video about how the chef is going to prepare the flounder. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu

One time I bought some mahi mahi from Whole Foods that had some parasites, still alive and wriggling too. I called them about it -- they told me to bring it back and gave me a refund.
glad you got a refund...! its the right thing to do..
This means they know the health hazardous to parasites
The same thing happened to me with some salmon from Sprout's. Wife was weirded out and took it back. From what I've read this seems to be a common thing with wild caught salmon. I don't do raw salmon or actually any raw fish anymore.
@@onlimi616 its not just wild salmon, farmed salmon is kept in small pens in the ocean and usually right were the wild salmon are so that the farmed salmon are in their native habitat, so the wild salmon pass on parasites and diseases to the farmed ones and they are so close together in the small pens that they infect everyone else
@@onlimi616 This is why salmon was traditionally not used for sushi.
This fish is like normal fish when they born, eyes on both side, they will change to one side as they grow. Very cool!! Should check it out!!!
Any reason not to use a spoon or fish scaler to remove scales on these things? Or is the knife just a preferred method.
Gorgeous work!👌

Thank you for reminding me why I will never eat raw fish
Nicely done and cut Chef
Behind this he do have a long journey to achieve this master of skill dude
Why scale the fish if you're taking the skin off?
Probably keep the skin when frying, you'd still need to descale fish, some people are allergic to scales
@@Delta-2-0 But you could probably still keep the skin right?
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.
I don't think I want to prepare a fish with parasites.
@Rykiel Toh No, a survivalist in the wilderness has to know how to handle this. I don't go to a restaurant to eat diseased food.
@Rykiel Toh If a fish has parasites or some other illness that would affect the quality of the meat I'd at least like to be informed so I can order something else.
@Rykiel Toh You can literally see visible parasites crawling on it. Are you going to pay to eat that?
@Rykiel Toh Don't be dumb, dude.
Usually the fish is flash frozen for a good while, all meat is susceptible to gross things that why it's best to cook and freeze
I see these every so often but pass them up because I was always under the impression that they have TONS of bones.... After watching this, I'll have take one next time I go spearfishing, just so I can make this!!!
...sick wit' it with the knife. 👍wowwww
Me and my asian ancestors:
Me: ew parasites, not safe
My ancestors: “ex-tra prooooteeein ah!”
i’m just watching this video and this is so funny because i remember as a child, i got upset over a bug flying into my ramen, and my uncle came around the kitchen corner and just goes “you better eat that! that’s just extra protein!” LOL i’ll never forget it because i refused to finish it but he sat there and eat it all. hahaha
Some wormwood combination would kill parasites in the stomach. Just be careful and read reviews as it is potent stuff. Good to know if you love eating raw 🐟
Funny that he is working with fish and you have a Zach bell avatar
It's all about the sharpness of the knife. Great video
If you're going to skin the fish for fillets, do you still need to remove all the scales? Won't the scales come with the skin as you take it off? I guess it would be messy as the scales go everywhere as you're handling the fish.
Why he toke the scales off if he was going to take the skin off in the end?
Because they prevent the knife from doing a proper work when cutting the meat for fillets, and mix very tiny scales with the meat... You must get rid of them first if you want to do a good, clean job.
It makes it less likely to have any need to wash it after filleting to remove random scales and the protective slime…you want the fish to be as intact as possible for better plating of the finished product
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!
Thank you for sharing this video
Halibut are almost exclusively right eyed around 1 in 20,000 is left eyed. Flounders can be either right or left sided depending on species
