Default Fluke Fin

Just had sushi at a great little authentic spot in nyc. Saw that they had a special on the menu "cooked fluke fin", which I of course had to try. I am now kicking myself for all of those amazing pieces of fish I've wasted over the years. After eating the delectable piece I asked the chef to see what the slice of fish looked like raw, just to make sure it was the part of the fish I was thinking it was. Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought, the strip along the side of the filets that look like bubbly orange cells. The part that I was always thought to throw away. I told the chef that here in America many people discard that part of the fish or use it as bait. He looked shocked to say the least. He said that in japan people pay $8/piece for the fluke fin claiming that it is the fattiest and most tender part of the fish. Which it was! Happy to have learned something new tonight and wanted to share it with everyone.

Tight lines,

TFS

I trim the fat off my fish,that's the part that holds any toxins in the fish.

I am awed; you managed to include both pseudoscience and racism into a single post.

I bow to your genius.

First off, I like the original post - I too learned this from watching a sushi chef years ago and since then I have been carefully cleaning my fluke to preserve these sections.

Secondly - the mix of 'pseudoscience and racism' is so well put that I had to applaud the post by Walleye Wisherman. Well said.

You would probably have to eat 4 fluke fins a day for 30 years to see any negative effects.
