What Makes Fish Taste Great?
Without question, ikejime produces the best-tasting fish with 4 simple steps.
- A painless spiking of the fish’s brain
- Cutting the gills to bleed the fish
- Using a special wire to remove the fish’s nerves
- Cooling the fish down using an ice slurry
Finally, YOU can do the same method used on the most expensive sushi-grade tunas on the fish you catch.
We had one customer try it for the first time on his 80-pound bluefin tuna.
He said it was “excellent and easy to use.”
On his first try!
Even if you’re not targeting tuna, ikejime works with all fish,
Everything from mackerel caught on the pier,
To reef fish speared while diving,
To monster, groupers caught down in Baja,
To the icy lakes of the mid-west,
If you plan to eat it, ikejime will make it taste better.
Plump, Juicy Fact #1: It’s one thing to catch a fish
It’s another thing to prepare it so that it tastes good.
Because you’ve prepared your fish one way doesn’t mean it’s the right way.
But it’s not your fault!
Most of us hadn’t heard of ikejime until it became popular in culinary circles. It’s still not discussed in fishing circles that often (although that’s changing).
Why do chefs demand fish that have been ikejimed?
Respected seafood chefs demand ikejime fish. Those burn holes in their wallet for a great seafood meal can taste the difference.
By using our ikejime kit, you will have the same quality and taste at home with your fish.
Plump, Juicy Fact #2: If you paid to catch fish, you’re already invested in making it taste great.
Why spend money on food if you let it spoil?
- Letting the fish suffocate pumps stress hormones through the meat — yuck.
- Not bleeding immediately causes blood to saturate the meat. Thus harboring nasty bacteria — double yuck.
- Not running a wire down the spine lets the dead fish fire its nerves, breaking down the tissue — triple yuck.
- Failing to get the fish in an ice slurry means the fish is only good for cat food — meow.
We developed this Ikejime Kit in Japan — the heart of extreme fishing and eating. We made our spike with an ergonomic handle to feel good after countless fish because we know you catch a lot. Plus, it's quicker and easier than clubbing the fish to death.
Our high-quality wire removes those pesky favor-sucking nerve cells. Please be delicate and don’t force the wire down the spine. Delicate flesh requires the delicate handling of the tool.
You’ve spent money catching fish; you might as well do it right while preserving your meat.

F.A.Q
F.A.Q
Will this work on snakehead due to their bony skull?
Yes, it should work fine. If you find that the skull is too dense, try the alternative method of using a knife to brain the fish, then cutting the tail to expose the spinal column. Run the ikejime wire from the back end towards the head for the same effect. Tight lines!
Will this work for trout 9-15 inches?
Yes, this ikejime kit will work for trout in that size range. There is also a Pocket Ikejime option sold on Amazon with a carabiner that works well for smaller fish.

What Is The Ike Jime Technique?
What Is The Ike Jime Technique?
Ikejime is the process of humanely killing a fish in the quickest amount of time while preserving the highest quality of the meat.
1. This is done by using a spike to dispatch the fish with the least amount of pain.
2. The fish is bled by cutting the gills to remove any harsh metallic taste from the flesh.
3. A wire is then inserted to stop the firing of nerve impulses to prevent the meat from spoiling quickly.
4. The fish is thrown into an ice slurry to bring the temperature down of the meat.
