Nacsan Iki Spike Small

Improve flesh quality and storage life

Allowing your catch to thrash around and die slowly in air causes unnecessary stress, reducing the flesh quality and shortens storage life. Using the ike-jime method and the Nacsan Iki Spike instantly kills the fish and improves eating quality. Insert the spike quickly and directly into the hind brain of the fish to cause immediate brain death. It has a T-shaped handle for better grip plus it’s made of stainless steel for easy maintenance.

The fish brain is usually located slightly behind and above the eye. When spiked correctly, the fish fins flare and the fish relaxes, immediately ceasing all motion. Instantly killing the fish stops reflex action which prevents a build up of lactic acid that sours the flavour of the fish. In addition, the blood contained in the fish flesh retracts to the gut cavity, which produces a better coloured and flavoured fillet.
