The Ike Jime Federation is dedicated to improving the quality of your harvest while giving the utmost respect to your fish.

Ike jime tools will allow the commercial fishing industry to deliver a superior product to the market.

These tools allow you to preserve your catch, prevent degradation of the meat, and give the ultimate honor to the fish that you harvest.

Essentially your harvest will have biochemical superiority because ike jime allows a fish not to experience the chemical consequences of suffocation.

And that stress on a fish has negative effects on the quality of the meat.

The Process Of Ike Jime

Step 1: Stop the release of lactic acid and cortisol by inserting a brain spike into the brain cavity.

This allows a fish not to experience stress.

Step 2: Cut the membrane by the gill plate to bleed and place the fish into water while it bleeds (but not cold water).

This is going to pump out all of the chemicals and bacteria in the blood.

If you leave the blood inside of a fish (any fish), it will begin to rot from the inside and bacteria will start to decompose the fish.

Step 3: Use the wire (circuit breaker) to paralyze the fish by disconnecting the muscles from the central nervous system.

Step 4: Then put the fish into an ice slurry and fully submerge.

Performing the ike jime process makes a world of difference.

As an angler, you are there at the death of the fish and can create a biochemically different product.

The problem is hitting the brain. My experience is fish torture with multiple stabs and no quick death. Any help with locating the tiny fish brain would be appreciated. I may have to dissect the next keeper.

The old saying you can’t teach and old dog a new trick definitely comes to mind here .. I have been fishing my entire life and I’ve never seen or heard of this… However, I try to kill the fish and bleed them as quickly as possible… The wire spanning the length of the spinal cord does make sense … Is this product sold in the Salt Strong Shop/Store…
I would like to try this as the way it was described it makes very good honest sense .. Thank you all for this information … !

Never had any idea about the nervous system having that effect , that was great stuff .I do have a question though step two is to bleed the fish do you wait for the fish to bleed and then insert the wire or do you cut the gill plate and insert the wire and let it bleed. Thanks for sharing

As a lover of sushi, I can see how this will benefit the commercial industry. I fish mainly freshwater for now. I know the limit on most freshwater fish is 25 (sandies, cats, and crappie). I can see this with the limited number of salt fish allowed to keep per day. Is there a benefit for fresh too? This will be great to try on the stripers that we have here in North TX.

Hey Jamal, this will absolutely work for freshwater fish as well. Andrew Tsui actually mentioned how striper can taste incredible using this method.

Awesome video. Makes perfect sense. I look forward to more instruction on the products and application techniques. This is much more than I have traditionally done for my kept fish; bleeding and ice was my two step process. This concept makes huge improvements in meat quality. This is next level stuff. Great information!

A video of doing the method would have been helpful. I’m sure it takes practice. The comparison picture was interest
