Wild IkE Jime

Sea Mongers has at its core a focus on promoting the art of ike jime as a means of elevating the quality and freshness of the wild species that it sells.

Ike Jime involves landing fish live and brain spiking to prolong the onset of rigor mortis and extend the shelf-life of the fish.  This method is the one true way to distinguish a fish as ‘sashimi-grade’, and the high level of care in handling lends itself to artisanal as opposed to mass producers.
