Aesthetic fish preparation processfrom @omaweii
A chef with tattooed arms demonstrates the process of preparing an Ishigaki, or Spotted Knifejaw, fish. He starts by trimming the fins with scissors, then cuts off the head, fillets the body, removes the skin with a knife, and finally slices the white flesh into precise pieces for sashimi, all while a voiceover explains the fish's characteristics.
