23.01.2022 Using an iki jime tool (brain spike) is a quick and humane way to dispatch your catch. Dispatch your catch with a brain spike first, then bleed and then remove ...the gills and gut before chilling on ice. By following these simple steps you can maximise the quality of the flesh and extend the shelf life. #tuna #champions #bluefin #forever #ikijime #tool #brain #spike #bleed #gut #gill #chill See more
