神経締め｜Nerve Tightening｜2020/10/07

テレビ番組で魚の神経締めをやっていた。魚の仲卸の人の特集だっのだが、映像で見るのは初めてだ。心臓用のカテーテルを魚の頭から手早くさしてゆく。元気だった魚が一瞬で、コロッといってしまう。魚自身も気づかないうちに死ぬのだという。そのため鮮度が保たれる。ボクも五島列島で神経締めの魚を食べてその鮮度に驚いた。ふつう魚の値段は需要と供給の相場で決まるので、頑張って多く取ると値段が安くなる。しかし神経締めのように質で頑張ると相場に関係ない魚固有の価格をつけることも可能だという。どこで頑張るかで差が出てくるんだなぁ。
I saw the nerve tightening of fish on a TV program. It was the first time I've seen it in the video.He quickly inserted the heart catheter from the fish's head. A healthy fish instantly died. It is said that the fish themselves die without noticing it. Therefore, the freshness is maintained. I was also surprised at the freshness of the nerve-tightening fish I ate in the Goto. Usually, the price of fish is determined by the market price of supply and demand, so if they do their best and take more, the price will be cheaper. However, if they do their best with quality like nerve tightening, it is possible to set a price peculiar to fish regardless of the market price. It makes a difference depending on where I work hard.
