Trim to a nice block for nigiri or for presentation sashimi. Use odd sized pieces for a maki roll or as sashimi. If it’s just average make poki.
Looks like its 90% for scraping. Looks like you can cut the top left with the least amount of sinew and maybe get a few slices of sashimi if your knife skills are there.

Not sure how you would cut it, but once you got it in a uniform block. You’d wanna cut the fish for stuff like sashimi or nigiri against the grain.
Cut it horizontally in the picture so that it looks like a steak. And then cut that piece against the grain
No first I would cut it vertically into saku blocks. Then it will be much easier to cut against the grain and you will have perfect sized pieces
