At what point does fish cooling on ice become frozen?
- PStamatiou 9y agoI went to the tuna auction at Tsukiji a while back.. massive frozen tuna https://paulstamatiou.com/photos/japan/japan-day-5/ https://paulstamatiou.com/photos/japan/japan-day-5/
- s_kilk 9y agoOT, but I had no idea tuna were that big.
- stevenwoo 9y agoEven more OT, but if you like sushi, the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi lightly touches on the entire process of making sushi in a Tokyo restaurant along with the story of a family restaurant. Then if you liked that, there is a touching and gentle mockumentary about it called Juan Likes Rice and Chicken.
- southphillyman 9y agoI've known for a couple of years now that tuna are big but I grew up thinking tuna was a small sardine sized fish. It probably was due to the fact I never see whole tuna at fish markets (probably too big to sell the entire fish) and it comes canned.
- habeebtc 9y agoThis is the current average size of tuna now, from what I gather. The average size 50 years back was much bigger. In 1979 a guy caught a bluefin of around 1,500 lbs. Tuna are big fish.
- CamperBob2 9y agoYep. And expensive. The value of the inventory in that room is probably on par with the average luxury car dealer.
- KGIII 9y agoLOL Some tuna are huge. My biggest was a little over 600 pounds. I didn't keep it. The captain, crew, and I sold it down in Portland, ME. We then partied with the money.
- sliverstorm 9y agoA very, very common misconception. They're also incredibly fast (45mph), agile, and one of the apex predators of the ocean. They are also warm-blooded.
- scruple 9y agoOT, as well, but this is a fantastic resource you've compiled, well done! My wife and I are finalizing our trip to Japan for 3 weeks this December and I am taking some notes based on your posts here for places that went past our radar!
