as much as i love sculpin

i still don't see the point of eating fish raw. i don't get it.

When you cook something you're always diminishing its nutritive value. Although with some things cooking is the only way to get some nutritive value out of them, fish don't usually have to be cooked.

I don't cook any of my fish.

Some fish taste better uncooked.

so did they actually eat the heart?

I bet the heart taste extra fishy, and i bet its crazy expensive to order fish fresh enough to wiggle, but that sashimi looks great to me.

Exactly, especially jacks and mackerals. WSB is one of the few fish I cant stand raw and will only eat it cooked.

X2 on johns comment. Mack is some of the best sashimi. And yj might be the best aside from lionfish

It adds a lot of options to the meal

yeah but you only shoot halibut wsb yt and occasionally pick scallops.:D

i wish i was good enough a diver to be that picky! those are pretty much the same fish i target, but when my freezer is empty i add calico, sargo, rockfish and a few others to that list of targets. id rather eat local speared calico than store bought halibut. and id rather eat either of those than store bought poultry or red meat.

however i only make sushi from fish i catch, you wont see me paying premium prices for live or sashimi grade cut fish at asian markets. not only because i cant afford it, but also because the live fish and the tuna trade arent very environmentally friendly...

Some of those polespear fish are pretty good raw.

no matter what you guys say, still don't see the point. i don't like raw fish . i've tried a little bit just in extreme situations , and i don't like it. in extreme situatios i'd eat even worms or whattever. but i would never try suchi , sachimi or the like. the only way i feel fish to be tasty other than cooked in fire ( oven or whattever ) is cooked in lime juice. of course , to each his own. i just don't see the point.

I don't recall where I read it, but someone once made a statement that I pretty much agree with ;the redder the meat, the better it tastes raw, than cooked.

To me, this also translates to;" forked" tail fish are better raw than " broom" tailed fish.

I don't just judge raw fish on taste. It has a lot to do with texture, as well.

To each their own pantoja. More for us

Seared Ahi is pretty damn good. Cooked on the outside and pink in the middle.

x50 yellow jack is second to fresh BFT. For some reason I find salmon a bit on the slimy/ too fish side to eat raw
