some of the parts of this reporter seem way too half-assed. He seems to be traveling around for the fun of it, and using his job as an excuse to have some fun. They way he gives a gampai to the sushi chef at the most random time because he probably thinks he's being appropriate. The -incredibly complicated various hand gestures- at the market are literally all the same hand gestures, some are done more hastily. I appreciated the marine biologist, and there was some good content, but. maybe its lackadaisical storytelling. -Oh i went to eat, then i went and did a serious interview, then i went to eat again. then i went to japan where i looked at the crazy convoluted market (mind you im not even gonna try to explain whats going on because I obviously have no clue, and then I went to eat again. -

Cut the exaggerated liberal extinction crap. In case you don't know, there are bluefin tunas 20 -30 miles from Los Angeles at this moment. They have been around for years and the stocks are very healthy. You sound like a douche who has never even been in the ocean to fish, but loves to cut them up and eat them. Open your damn eyes and go fishing and kill the fish that you are eating instead of having someone do the dirty work and kill them for you.

This was a BS video. He interviewed several people in the Japanese fish market who only spoke about price and competition from large supermarkets and then the Munchies guy lied in his summary and said everyone spoke about sustainability when in fact they spoke of survival of their business due to competition nothing to do with overfishing. Pure propaganda. Idiots will eat this up and perhaps continue to deplete their brain power.

1: 40 is albacore tuna, NOT bluefin. pacific bluefin tuna supply is low, however atlantic bluefin is abundant and is arguably as good a quality as pacific. lots of tuna to go around. also, tuna are not -birthed-. they come from eggs. a mature female bluefin tuna can lay between 5 million and 25 million eggs in a spawning cycle. granted, only a small fraction reach adulthood, but there's plenty of tuna to replenish the supply.

Company-s and advertisements often tell people what they want. Make something that-s sustainable or abundant more desirable. Most people will follow -. It-s not about the blue fin anymore. It-s all about the yellow fin or sockeye tuna. -. Actually the color of the sockeye looked bomb in this video. It was such a deep red color. I would love to try it in sushi and I don-t even eat sushi.

The snob culture is what made this problem. Japanese wanted to eat red meat as Americans, then Americans wanted to eat sushi as Japanese. Just people being pretentious with fancy meals. Look for the lobsters as an example. It was poor men food, even given to prisoners. Now? Elevated by the pretentious culture, where your satisfaction is more psychological than biological.

As we are months away from 2020, will you be following up this video with what has happened in the last 5 years? Including any recently published studies, feedback from Chefs, and the Japan government? It would be nice to see what happens and changes with every decade if you can find the same people to interview and see how the decline or resurgence has affected them and the world.

i think the ocean biologist meant to say that following the numbers and data not science will conservation the tuna industry. also caught in a responsible way is clear and true as far as what the fishing industry must follow. glad i watch this video was very informative and made me think of how to keep the fishing industry sustainable responsible and accountable.

culturally extremely active and skinny kids, we had it 3-4 times a week, minimum; in the 60-70s, we ate #1 bluefin steaks, CANNED. also, were told that it wasn't considered a really valuable resource, like salmon. it was very, very, inexpensive, like our cheapest sardines. -it was our ramen times 20, but, pure protein & oils. amazing, ten cents a pound cans.
