A Humane Catch: How Ikejime Benefits Fish, Flavor And The Planet

Our guest is Andrew Tsui who is the founder and president of The Ike Jime Federation based in Maryland. Ikejime is a unique, traditional Japanese technique to treat fish right after it is caught. Ikejime dramatically reduces fish’s suffering and extends its freshness. The results are much better taste and flavor, as well as less waste of fish. Ikejime is not known enough outside of Japan, but Andrew is passionately trying to educate commercial and recreational anglers about the awesome technique. In this episode, we will discuss how exactly Ikejime is done, what types of fish are suited to the Ikejime treatment, the difference between Ikejime and Shinkeijime, how you can learn the Ikejime technique and be certified by Andrew’s Ike Jime Federation and much, much more!!!
