The ingredients needed to make Let's Prepare a Fish! How to Make Amberjack Sashimi:
  1. Take 1 fish Amberjack (a young "inada" stage one this time)

Coat a large cast-iron skillet with cooking spray; place over high heat until very hot. Fish should look charred. (You may prefer to do this procedure outside. How to prepare your fish for sashimi. Buying skinned and filleted fish will make it much easier to prepare your homemade sashimi.

Instructions to make Let's Prepare a Fish! How to Make Amberjack Sashimi:
  1. The inada-stage amberjack I used this time was 54 cm long. My cutting board was too small!!
  2. I borrowed the kitchen of a tea ceremony venue. If you get an amberjack in the mature "buri" stage, even this big cutting board will be too small.
  3. Take the back fin off before removing the scales! Pull it with your hand while cutting with a knife. I think kitchen scissors would work well for this.
  4. It's off!
  5. Take off the side fin close to the back fin in the same way! The fin near the head is very bony and hard to remove. Again, I recommend using kitchen scissors.
  6. Fish like amberjack, which have rather soft flesh, are hard to skin and de-scale at the same time.
  7. You need to lay your knife on its side and kind of shave off the skin, but it's not as easy as it sounds. (HAHA) The white part of the fish has scales too, so remove them all off carefully!
  8. Oh my, it looks so messy! Just practice several times and you'll get better, so be patient, ok? The key is to use a knife with a sharp blade!
  9. Lay the fish on its back with the belly facing up, and put your knife in from the bottom of the fin! Don't put your blade in too deep or you'll damage the guts!
  10. From the Step 9 position, run your knife along the side of the fin towards the head of the fish. The guts will be pulled out attached to the head, so don't pierce or cut them now!
  11. Make a cut from the stomach to the head in the same way as Step 10. Once that's done, open up the belly. Make a cut from the anal vent towards the head!
  12. Pull out the intestines with your hands. They are still attached to the head at this point. Just pull them out of the body, understand?
  13. When the intestines have been pulled out, cut the back bone and cut off the head. If you pull the head all the guts should come out in one go.
  14. You should constantly clean your cutting board and knife as you work, but you need to wash the fish itself at this point too! Wash out all the bloody parts (the veins) near the bone!
  15. OK! So let's start filleting it at least! Make a cut into the tail part. Since this is a big fish, I'll show you how to cut it into 5 pieces (as opposed to the 3-piece filleting method used for smaller fish).
  16. Cut straight through the fish from the tail towards the head down the center. Make this cut on both sides of the fish.
  17. Do this carefully, making sure that the tip of your knife is scraping along the main bone.
  18. Next, make a cut along the back of the fish, with the front side facing up! Insert your knife deep enough so that you are cutting the flesh away from the main bone. If the fish is so big that your knife won't reach far enough, do this in several passes!
  19. Cut along the belly side (the bottom side) in the same way! The key to filleting the fish neatly is to try to put your knife blade in at the same angle every time. Keep going!!
  20. Do the same on the other side. Well done! It's so hard to cut up a fish with soft flesh…. hahaha
  21. This is the first time I've broken down an amberjack at the "inada" stage… there's way too much of the flesh left on the bones. The poor inada won't be able to go to heaven if I treat it so badly. I'll eat it all up cleanly though, so please forgive me!
  22. Try marinating the harami (the belly part of the fish) in wasabi soy sauce, and have it with rice. It will make you very happy. Soooo tasty!!! I'll cut it up more neatly next time.
  23. An extravagant zuke-don (marinated raw fish and rice bowl)! Soooo good!

Remember to always keep your knives as sharp as possible, and always keep your hands and equipment clean. Japanese chefs often use many different slicing techniques when making sashimi, the most common of which are. Plus, even at the "inada" stage an amberjack is quite big! Let's give it a good try! Amberjack is an oily fish, so it makes an excellent candidate for smoking.
