All About Ike Jime

Author: Hank Shaw December 17, 2021 Duration: 1:12:13

In this episode, I talk with Andrew Tsui of the Ike Jime Federation all about this Japanese method of killing fish, which is not only more humane, but also results in much, much higher quality fish for the table. I was and am fascinated by this practice, and we talk about how you can get started with it, too.
