    iki Jime - Great online resource!!!

    Hey Ausfish crew, just a heads up for a great online resource in regards to the technique of iki Jime. This website provides colour and x-ray photos of HEAPS of salt and fresh water fish, showing you the 'sweet' spot to humanely and quickly dispatch your catch in order to reduce fish stress and improve meat quality.

    Example Red as we would see it, and Red if you had xray specs! Very very cool


    Anyway check it out,

    The Xray adds weight to the concept of fish feeling pain as we recognise it. There is very minimal brain space there for anything really.

    LOL i had a similar experience prior to adopting iki, it involved a very shard knife and some decent swell, lets just say it wasnt the fish who got bled! Now I use iki and some trauma shears to bleed the fish, safe easy and humane.
