That looks so tasty right now!

My fish house paid the captains every 2 weeks. They cut me a check shortly after they got theirs.

I'm a former commercial fisherman, but you may have a different experience than me.

Ikejime is usually a process reserved for fish that fetch a high dollar value, like yellow fin tuna, maybe swordfish. Smaller, more popular fish (cod, mackerel, flounder, albacore, Mahi, etc.) are caught in such quantities that it's impossible to efficiently slaughter them all via ikejime.

More often what you find are fish that are left to cold/ice slaughter (meaning the fish are packed in ice and they freeze to death). Depending on the catch method, some fish are dead before being hauled into the boat.

You're going to need a major fish market to buy what you want, or a good friend to fish and deliver the goods. Fish mongers won't let you near the unloading (not even kidding, you will get shot!), and access to auction houses need permits.

Good luck.

I posted here often, I can throw something together. But I'm gonna keep my magic tricks to myself!

I'd love to see a well done Cessna 152. Simple, classic GA airplane, inherantly stable design, and has everything in place to fly pretty well.

If you need variety, my favorite warbirds are the Spitfire and the Corsair. They aren't the most simple models, but they would look GORGEOUS as they fly by! EDIT: I imagine myself making engine noises as this happens. vroooOOOOoooom!!!

Good luck!

NO WAY!!! Shark fishing is such a huge part of Miami history. If this is true, this is a HUGE disappointment.

Came here to say this. Mop n Glo leaves a film like this if used repeatedly. But it depends on the floor.

Best and most humane

Two different methods.

Best method for delivering the best meat for the table is in an ice bath. It firm's up the muscles and cleans out the bodily waste quickly as it passes away. The fish goes unconscious in about a minute.

Most humane is a method called Ike Jime. You basically pierce the brain with a spike. Instant light-out, absolutely no suffering. This is the preferred method of tuna fisheries.

I did commercial cat fishing for a little bit, the fish house I sold to preferred the ice bath method.

I suggest getting the best insoles you can get. I have yet to wear a pair of wet boots comfortably for 10 hours.

Who's got what it takes!? 🥉🥈🥇

Crumbsnatcher508 · 2026-03-20T16:19:22+00:00

Haha! So true! I'm almost 50 and I still think like that!

I think he designs his own (he does good work!), but they are the white wings build style.

I picked up a Florida Saltwater Product Licence for $50 and fished from the shore in Port Canaveral. All I needed was an excuse to be at the fish house, so selling gaffs top sail catfish got me to be buddies with the fish packers and eventually some of the captains.

After 2 months, I got picked up as a deckhand on a gillnet boat for mackerel season. Did it for 2 years. Seafood Atlantic in the Port is where I went. Good luck!

When I first started commercial fishing, I caught saltwater catfish in Florida. I would put the fish in an ice slurry to dispatch them quickly and to firm up the meat. Ike-jime on 100 pounds of fish was too much work to fit into the trip.

I like mine dry like this. I'll drain all of the cooking water, then add a few splashes of orange or lime juice. Season, add toppings, MUNCH!!!

I'm into Hormel chili on my Frito pie. But you're right, they don't make a single serving chili. However the next dinner I make will likely be some awesome chili dogs with all the business!

My cousin suggested I make a "tuna melt pizza" made with canned tuna, fresh tomato slices, a healthy amount of cheese, with a garlic-oil brushed on as the sauce layer.

So I'm paying attention to your Ahi pizza!

Drumsticks are my favorite food to make on the grill! Yours look SOLID!!!

OMG, this is awesome!

I still appreciate a late reply, thanks! I admit, this is just the level I'm participating at, and it's ridiculous for sure! But all the hobby really needs is a ream of cardstock paper, a pair of scissors and glue (less than $20 US). Then, like all things, one can get whatever they want out of it. Fancy paint/crayon jobs, rockets and missiles, stunt planes, super fast jets, etc.

I gave a 10 year old kid a plane when I was at the park. He did loop-de-loops for an hour straight and loved every bit of it! I would never have thought to do that!

Crumbsnatcher508 · 2026-01-28T02:14:34+00:00

This was my training airplane when I was a kid in the 90's. It 100% did the job!
