I like dis dude, he's not over the top and knows what he's talking about

[ahndeux]

Don't be fooled. This guy is a true professional. He makes it look much easier than it is in real life. Damn he is GOOD!

[testchrist]

The amount of fish that he is cutting and the information he has on each one is insane. It's like he had a semester long course in college to learn the fish, how to cut them, where they came from, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins and even the flavor profile. The information is golden.

"Don't get too stressed, it's okay." I just got comforted by a fisherman 🥺💕

[TheKlyn]

I don't even like seafood, but there's always something about watching someone handle a knife and make clean cuts that is fascinating.

[gabegraetz]

Brain-“You gotta learn how to cut every fish”
Me-“Why”
Brain-“You just gotta”

The little trumpet after each introduction gives me life for some reason.

[vvzcnd]

No, seriously. The guy knows his subject. He's precisely informing us in between marine bio and culinary. Good content 👌🏻

[deadfurydbf]

Every other fish: Being gentle and opening it up
Sardine specifically: *RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE*

[cheesyfries]

[RumbleDelta]

I adore the little "ta da" trumpet introducing each fish.

[SoffanIsTheBest]

"This fish definitely has a strong fish flavor, which is great because it is a fish."

[terrytino]

Mike : “Has a strong fish flavour which is great because it is a fish”
epicurious : ✅

[kiirra_whyte]

The urge to say "hey, I caught that in animal crossing!!" on almost every fish that shows is overwhelming.

[diamonddollaz]

Me: “I don’t even ea-“
Brain: “Shhh. You need this...You NEED this.”

[katiechambers]

“Don’t get too stressed, it’s ok” whatever you say handsome fish man

[gayvideos]

"It definitely has a strong fish flavor, which is great because it is a fish"

*✓ fish*

This is my favorite video on the internet. Something about it is so calming I’ve watched it at least 20 times in full and it’s always so good.
