quality the service how are you good how are you okay so you're going to take us into the production and you're going to show us how they fillet the fish how they cut the fish and they prepar the fish let's go inside so first we got to put on our lab coat to make sure we keep all our exterior bacteria out of our production facility that means every person in here has to wear lab coats everybody that's in here has to have a lab coat and a heet and a beard net so our facility stays clean of bacteria and obviously no here in our fish that's the most most important so come inside say this is our one of our production facilities here we have a whole yellow fin fresh tuna wow that is massive it's about 189 lb 189 lb we're going to start off with checking the grade and the quality of the fish to see if it's good for our customer so how do you check the freshness and the grade how do you make sure so we're going to start off by cutting open apart from the tail and we going to check the color and see how it looks and we're going to take it from there so this this this fish weighs 180 lb you're saying yeah how do you guys pick it up so it's it's a Twan team it's it's a very heavy fish we need one guy on the head one guy by the tail where we're going to cut open to check the quality and then we're going to start to fet it if it's good quality and if it's not good quality we have to send it right back to the vendor so we make sure we only have good quality fish in our facility wow wow wow so if it's not good you send it right back to theend good we don't accept it we send the right back to the vendor so what's the test for the freshness like so there's a few things we do the first thing we check is we cut open by the tail we take out a piece we check the color we check the the smell obviously that's very important to make sure that it smells fresh it looks fresh and it feels as well it feels like it's a good texture um and then we start to Fay it open and we take it from there and we we see the rest of the quality from there from which oceans do these uh Tunas come from so we get Tuna from all over obviously we always look for the best quality first and based off of that we'll take from different uh suppliers and vendors we get either from Barbados CM Costa Rica uh we get from all over as long as the quality is fresh and good that's what we base it off of wow so they come off the boat they come to FRS and you guys cut them open and start the production check it right away as soon as we get it in we check the quality if it's good we start production if not it goes right back how many tuna staks can you make over here uh tuna this size about 189 lb after we fet it we can get about 80 to 100 tuna 80 to 100 tuna steaks wow um now we're going to start our cutter is going to open up the tuna we're going to check the quality and then we're going to see if it's good for production [Music] quality yeah we're going to cut open from the tail we're going to check the quality on the color and see if it's good for our customers if it's good we're going to start production it's a very nice color of the tuna this is only the tail part but we know from here that the rest of the loin of the tuna is going to be the same so what do you see in the tail let me see so we see here that it's a nice red color and it's a good texture it's a very good texture there's no smell to it doesn't have any weird smells to it and so we know that for the goad we're ready for the go ahead we're going to start let's go let's start open the tuna they said the tuna was they use some fish I guess it's a lot bigger that a little bit bigger right this this a massive wow so this is the process of of cutting open a the tuna uh we have to take off the head first so that's the collar bone the neck bone um he's going to take that off first and once he takes that off we I see the head is off already before that yeah it doesn't come with the head doesn't come with the head you're saying when they ship it to you they ship it without the head exactly without the head and comes just the the neckbone from so that's the first thing that he's going to take off and then we're going to see a nice I thought I'll be able to have the head of the fish he's saying it's not possible no it's too big for your table too big for my table take up the whole table wow so this is the neck bone is taken off yeah the knives have to be super sharp our knives are super sharp um our knives get sharpened every week we get brand new knives really um there's no Nick on our knives our knives are as same as our fish great a quality wow wow wow look at this look at this so you see has fins right there the fins and scales those are the fins and the scales are on the fish that's Sous yep C you found you ever found any diamonds in there we never found diamonds yet we're still waiting but the the day it comes I'm make sure not to tell anybody so you cut them open you never know never know exactly might be some stuff in there some diamonds so the Tunas actually do come already gutted so if you saw before here the the belly is gutted it comes open comes open so the vendor they cut it open they take out all the intestines all the kishkas that comes out and we get it cleaned basically wow so this is how it comes already from the vendors it's already clean from all int test have the real only the Tunas left that's it wow look at this red this this a beautiful this loin itself itself weighs about 30 lb how many Stakes could this produce like a good here we're going to get the maybe 20 25 30 maybe more you know you know you see all these cured platters a lot of them have tuna on it majority of it must probably does come from a sushi grade tuna because it's the best quality tuna grade you can get wow wow beautiful okay slicing that fish open okay next so so the whole middle the whole spine comes off over here the whole spine comes off the whole spine comes off he's left with the other side of the fish he's left with two sides exactly so we have we have the belly we have the spine right um this would be the belly part where we have the turo here would be the spine each fish has two spines two bellies and from there after we f clean it trim it down we cut it open to steaks and send it out to all our uh sushi restaurants so there has to be sushi grade on to be able to eat be eaten raw right yes that means this is Sushi gray AAA um ready to be eat the best the best quality you can find in tuna the best quality you find only that quality you could eat raw all the qualties if it wasn't a grade Triple A Grade number one tuna we would not we would not accept it here we would send it back to the vendor so we guarantee our customers always get the best
