Great to look as how it's all done. Hand and eye coordination.

Just observe how it's all done from being loaded on to the hoist and then hooked on to the slicing table.

Great skills

The auctioneers selling huge tuna carcasses are very entertaining, and if you have the stomach for it, you can watch the fish being carved up into fillets after they're sold.
