Would the letting of blood by the head be solved a soaking in a lightly salted cold water bath for a short period of time then rinsed thoroughly and then slightly frozen before putting in the base water?

soaking the fish head in water would take a lot (if not all) of the blood out, but you need to soak it for at least a day or two.

looks slightly sinister, like the fish had dealings gone wrong with the sea mafia!

there’s a sculpture of the same concept – head and tail of fish out of the water – somewhere in jeddah’s corniche

This would disgust most foreigners to honest. A fish head gawking at them is not exactly their idea of aesthetic.

hmmm… maybe you could freeze the parts first before assembling them in the water/tray to stop the bleeding? haha, Joey is right! This very Japanese is concept though I have heard of some gruesome preparations where the fish is cut up while still alive and served with (it’s own) innards (sashimi) as it watches the patrons dine and enjoy at it’s own stake! scary!

PS. Mr. Artisan Chocolatier, I probably travel to the U.S. everytime I comment in MM’s blog! the computer your using might probably have a Chinese proxy or your internet service’s server might be based in China! :)
