i'm picturing being at the counter asking the monger to hold it and me whipping out the flashlight
-
This guy is the GOAT. Saw his how to prepare fish video like 8 times he just made it so enjoyable.
-
This was hands down the best education on picking out fish that I have ever seen. I grew up in Japan and thought I knew about fish, but Mike you are the master! Thank you.
-
"Any kind of light you might have around" he says as he pulls put the spelunking cylinder 3000
-
Mike is a great speaker. He is so effortless and succinct in front of the camera that its simply entertaining to watch him do his job. He has a soothing voice too which really explains why his previous videos on this channel were such a hit. I keep going back to the other two routinely and now another one has been added to the list!
-
I really like the explanations here. And also you can tell he really respects the animals he works with.
-
3:38 A bit misleading here, Saku blocks are AAA grade tuna specifically used for sushi/sashimi and can be eaten raw, while as the dark red steak like tuna is only AA grade and cannot be used for raw consumption and must undergo proper cooking measures to rid of parasites and other undesirables. For reference, I'm a certified sushi chef with 7 years of experience and have taken culinary/nutrition courses to learn how to properly prepare and handle food.

-
I feel so much more informed after watching this video. Gives me confidence in browsing the seafood section.
-
I've watched so many food videos in my life and this was the first video where the person explained WHY you shouldn't eat dead muscles/clams (the ones that dont close up when tapped). Kudos! informative and approachable
-
Really well explained - another great expert!! Great video!
-

-
This guy is a true expert.
-
Mike Cruz!!! Very articulate, well-spoken, and very easy to follow.
-
Thank you again! I'd love to see a video on How to Use Every Type of Herb.
-
As a seafood clerk, this should be a training video, for anyone getting into the seafood business. Great video, and thank you for making it.
-
Great video for beginners. Thank you.
-
How did they get the bad fish? Did they go to a fish store and say "gimme your worst fish"
