I use stainless bicycle brake cable. I’ve heard that by stopping the muscle twitching it stops the build up of lactic acid in the meat. The lactic acid changes the ph in the meat that is more favourable to bacterial growth. Lactic acid is produced by the muscle movement/ twitching with insufficient oxygen in the blood.
Kahawai treated like this will remain fresh in the fridge for many days.

This was the best video I have seen of this procedure, well done. Wondering what you think about bleeding the fish?

Good to see the abundance of snapper over the ditch, here in South Australia we have a state wide, indefinite ban on taking snapper, for both recreational and pro fisherman

Hey Matt, If I understand you right, you must find the whole from the vertebrae and then push the floor in there and then just push until it reaches the end, right ? Thanks for the great advices, love your videos !!

There is no way in hell you are running that mono/wire through the spinal cord canal down to the tail. You want to test that??? Leave the wire in place and fillet the fish. You'll see that the wire is running outside the spinal cord canal. It's always so amazing how people keep doing stuff backward and saying it is correct. Probably only one 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 attempts actually find a path to get into the spinal cord canal.

For most fish, it may be easier to stab the brain from underneath because the skull of the fish is thinner on the underside. Stab the brain with a knife from behind the gill flaps, like this:

Interesting i assume this can be done with all fish but is it affective enough to be worth doin? Like on a tuna or kingfish? I mostly let my bigger snapper go unless they wont survive, but usually keep a few 35-40 cm ones for the table, if not making sashimi would you recommend doing this? Tbh i like the idea in general tyvm for your video👍

[shack]

I don’t like to do that to snapper because the brain congeals and that’s the best bit in my humble opinion

[jimmybol]

FYI, it's sashimi. not sushimi ya classic bloody kiwi! haha

This is not correct ! Why teach people THE WRONG WAY to do something???

The CORRECT way:

1. Brain spike the fish. This renders the fish brain dead (no suffering), but nerves and heart are still working.
2. Since the heart is still pumping, bleed the fish by cutting the gills inside a bucket of water. (Water keep blood from coagulation and stopping flow)
3. Cut the tail to expose the spine. DO NOT insert the wire INTO the spine, as thats not where the central nerve is. The central nerve is ABOVE the spine !!!

The method show here is from someone who doesn't have a clue what they are doing, and is doing a HUGE disservice to folks seeking information.

This is not a humanistic way. Fish is feeling pain of death as far as to its each cells and dies millon and millon times. Why don' t you prefer to kill it by hiting to head suddenly? Fishes deserves respect. They feed us without any response.
