Hey all, quick video about how to breakdown the salmon from Costco.

I'm probably underestimating here, but this 3lb fillet made 7 saku blocks

Some notes about salmon:

farmed salmon are fed pellets so there's virtually no parasite risk. However I still like to freeze mine for 7 days

The curing CAN be skipped, but the 30 min of salt and 2 min of rice vinegar eliminates the fishiness. A must for sensitive eaters

I've also eaten this fillet as is after cleaning, works great with chogochujang

Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness

That’s the farm raised one, correct? What are your thoughts on this vs the wild caught salmon at Costco?

[AhmetBerkTugrul]

What do you do after rice winegar cure? Do you wash the fish before cutting?

[ahmednini]

How do you cure? The process in the short is too quick. Salt for thirty minutes and 2 min rice vinegar cure in fridge?

[TheresaaMusic]

What’s the purpose of freezing it after?

[keithgaler]

Ok im interested, but learnt nothing.
How much salt
Is rice vinegar added with the salt or is there a wash inbetween.

Whats with the blowtorch?

Please give more detail.

How long can it be kept in the freezer?
Do you wash the salt off after defrost?

[jamies]

How do you defrost it? Any quick method?

Do you freeze prior to the cure, after, or both? I’m typically sensitive to salmon so I’m happy you introduced the salt and vinegar cure to your process steps for us. I figure most omakase restaurants do the same because I typically can only tolerate salmon from places like these.

Gone are the days of my youth ordering only salmon sashimi from AYCE as well as lox on my bagels lol

Does freezing it in salt and rice vinegar alter the taste? Could you just freeze it or does it taste better?

[lordfizzz]

I absolutely love salmon because even mid grocery store salmon is good. But I'm sorry I just do not trust like that anything coming from a big name grocery store gets cooked to temp here lol

[tyefr]

Can this process be applied to any farm raised salmon, not just Costco brand?

[fglend]

Now I know the fish I'm eating at the all you can eat sushi place. 🙄

[firework]

I was anxious af thinking whether the fish is sushi grade or not. Good thing he torched it... but idk if that kills all the bacteria and parasite

[AprilMaeT]

Everyone in the last video would appreciate the freezer...

[kjbolin]

I tried this and now I'm rich, but I'm growing gills. Was this the intended outcome?

[soulassassing]

I like the part where he showed us the sushi.

Some guy made a video that the pellets the fish eat are like really gross because they have like poultry droppings and stuff is this true?

[michaellaw]

Does it come with worms and parasites?

Saku means Blocks so Saku Blocks is Blocks blocks which means you don't know
