Details

Ike jime is central to Japanese standards for the highest quality seafood in the world. Scientifically proven to improve the smell, texture, and flavor of harvested fish, ike jime starts by spiking the fish’s brain and draining the fish’s blood. Paralyzing the fish by destroying the spinal cord (shinkei jime) elevates the quality further. Until now, professional ike jime tools have been unavailable in the West.

The Circuit Breaker is specially designed to disable the full length of a fish’s spinal cord and paralyze the fish completely. The memory-resistant wire will not bend or kink even after repeated use. It is lightweight, portable, and single-stranded for easy sterilization. Available in a variety of gauges and lengths.

Fish Care has become increasingly important. At the end of the day, fish care is bringing you the freshest and highest quality fish to your dinner table. To learn more about Ike Jime and how to Ike Jime a fish, read our Complete Guide to Ike Jime.

1. Brain Spike (Ike Jime)

Euthanize the fish. This limits the accumulation of lactic acid, stress hormones, and the increase of core body temperature.

2. Bleeding

Cut membrane behind gills on both sides and bleed completely. This process helps to extend the shelf life of the fish.

3. Wire (Shinkei Jime)

Run Circuit Breaker wire up the neural canal. Once completely inserted, pull wire back and forth several times to destroy spinal cord and paralyze the fish.

4. Ice Slurry

Immediately place fish into an ice slurry to bring core body temperature down. This slows the intensity of rigor.
