Mukoita I, Cutting Techniques: Fish

Japanese Culinary Academy

Originally reviewed 2026-10-04

In typical Japanese fashion an excellent book that shows step by step photographically how to break down various types of fish. I’ve been wanting to try breaking down some fish and this is a great reference. While many species might not be available locally you can probably compare a local species and it’s anatomy to find the best way to break it down for yield and quality. Now I just need to find some top quality whole fish.
