Fresh Yellowtail fillets

What is Ikijime?

Ikejime (活け締め) or Ikijime (活き締め) is a more humane method of killing and preparing fish developed to prolong the length of time for which the flesh remains fresh. This means that you can take advantage of a greater range of textures and flavours as the fish ages. Most importantly, ikejime ends the fish’s life in the least stressful way possible, as soon as it comes out of the water. The technique originated in Japan but is now in use worldwide and is becoming a focus point for us when it comes to certain linefish.
