SUSHI
Filleting Salmon Standards
To manage our waste on a whole Salmon,
we need to be able to use every gram of this
delicious pink meat.
Follow these steps and your wastage
percentage can be as little as 25%:
Once the fish is filleted and trimmed into two large
fillets you can start planning which parts will be
used for what. Pepi says โlike a skilled butcher,
you can see which part of the fillet should be
used for what kind of sushiโ
How to portion and store the salmon
โข The meat along the back of the Salmon is ideal for
Sashimi cuts and seared salads.
โข The meat along the stomach is used for Nigiri,
Gunkans and roses.
โข The tail piece is to be used for Maki rolls.
โข The fatty part right at the bottom has the most
flavor and in Japan is often reserved for regular
and or important customers.
Fillet fish
Use your hands to portion the fillets
into usable portions.
Portion the different cuts & store it in
separate containers for each type of sushi.
