This is fresh, never frozen Japanese hamachi at the top of its class, the yellowtail that built the reputation of the sushi bar. The flesh is pale and glossy with a natural creaminess and a high, clean oil, rich enough that it feels almost a shame to cook.Served raw, it is soft and buttery with a mild, faintly sweet finish that wins people over on the very first slice. It is one of the most crowd-pleasing fish we carry, forgiving for the first-timer and deeply satisfying for the sushi lover, whether you lay it over rice, plate it as crudo, or grill the collar until the edges caramelize.Best for: sashimi, nigiri, and crudo, or grill the collar. Farm-raised in Japan. We choose every fish by eye and by hand. If it does not meet our standard, it never makes the box.
