We Butchered & Tasted a 200kg Tuna With a Sushi Master

What to study

Scale & Specificity

  • A tuna wider than all three chefs fills the frame.
  • The two Fallow chefs raise their knives looking nervous, while the sushi master between them stays calm.
  • You want to see how they take it apart.
How the packaging works
Title

'200kg' turns 'big fish' into a number you can feel, and 'With a Sushi Master' promises expert hands, so the cutting and tasting both feel worth watching.

Thumbnail

The fish runs edge to edge across the bottom half, so it looks enormous even at feed size, and the raised knives make it clear what's about to happen.

Remix this

When your subject is huge or rare, let it fill the frame edge to edge with people behind for scale. Put the exact weight or size in the title, and bring in an expert so the challenge feels serious.
