Bonito Shasimi

[BrewGuru]

I was fortunate enough on the last fishing charter I was om we trolled a lure out the back and caught a Bonito just as we rounded North Point on Moreton Island, My mate who engineered the catching of the fish said $#@!!&&% Bait the Chef quickly wisked it away and about 1/2 hour later bought out the very thinly sliced Bonito, some soy with an island of Wasabi, it was bloody beautiful, I have had it b4 with tuna but this was to die for, so next time you snag a Bonito on the way home......enjoy!!

Boy i've drooled over sashimi and other Japanese raw fish dishes, but as soon as it hits my mouth I just got to spit it out, it looks so nice as well

Guess i'm a curry and bbq man simple as that,..

some 10 years ago, a group of us from armidale, which included matt graham, chartered a boat from coffs harbour to chase some yellowfin tuna.. we all caught one each, and had a feed of yellowfin sashimi on the way home. (those of us who werent sea sick....)

the yellowfin was bled and a long wire was fed up its backbone. i assume that it aided the bleeding?

The long wire is used to kill all the nerves along the spine to reduce lactic acid build-up and stops the fish heating up internally due to the spasming.

cheers NOG. handy to know.

ive never seen or heard of that being done, before or since. does anyone do it as a rule to other eating fish?
