The Cherry popper will not be forgotten.


Rubbing in the fact that you've now caught a Yellowtail and your friends haven't, yet---priceless.

Never tried hali sashimi always too worried about bugz in them, isn't it common for them to have worms/parasites

Most fish have worms in them, just add a little seasoning and you're good.

All kidding aside....from my experience the only area where you'll find worms in the halibut is near the stomach. I believe that once the halibut dies the worms move into the meat ergo worms in your fillet. I've seen a few of them here and there, I just pull-em out. I'm sure that if this was a health issue there would be plenty of us with the runs

congrats matt! not a bad fish at all!!

[StinkyMatt]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Been wanting to make my own sushi spread for a while, but promised myself that I wouldn't till I got my YT.

I'll just say that making sushi takes 5 minutes to learn and many years to master. Try it and you will gain a very high level of appreciation for the master sushi chef who does 30 kinds of fish in 300 ways...all day long.


As far as the Hali meat, George got it, the area by the belly is the only area I have ever seen parasites. This does not mean that there can't be "unseen" critters somewhere. Two ways to deal with potential parasites

Cook it

Freeze it for like 3 days.

One thing I did learn is that Hamachi only refers to pen raised YT, which in my opinion tastes much better then the wild stuff. Much more fat in it (buttery) and since the farm fish do not use their muscles as much the meat is more tender.

I believe that a 4 year old wild caught YT, is called Buri.


There you go: A Polish guy giving you sushi info.....you have seen it all!

Well done Matt, great looking sushi

[lamb]

Very cool,
congrats on your first, nice fish

Great looking sushi and rolls.

I finally starting messing with home made sushi this year. So far, I got it to taste great. The presentation, as well as "tightness" is a disaster. They're falling apart, look like a mess, but yummy.
