@omaweii Beltfish has a unique shape to it, making it difficult to work with for many chefs. The long body requires accuracy and consistency in your knife strokes. It’s got a beautiful flavor to it and can be prepped in many ways. Here I decided to score and sear one side before slicing. #sushichef #miamibeach
