Description
The Ikejime fish spike is an essential tool for swiftly and humanely destroying a fish's brain. It is especially crucial when dealing with tuna, as stress hormones can taint the meat and cause an unpleasant odor. Additionally, if the fish is not dispatched quickly, it can thrash about on the deck, resulting in bruising and burnt meat. By utilizing this technique, you can extend the shelf life of the fish. To use, locate the preoperculum line on the fish's head and insert the spike, giving it a turn.
