About Fish, yellowtail, mixed species, raw
The yellowtail amberjack (Seriola lalandi), known in Japanese cooking as hamachi or buri and often simply called yellowtail, is a fast, sleek fish of warm and temperate seas, increasingly raised by aquaculture. It has firm, pale flesh with a higher oil content that gives it a rich, buttery, slightly sweet flavor and a smooth, meaty texture. Yellowtail is high in quality protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, with vitamin B12, niacin, selenium, and vitamin D.
It is a sushi and sashimi favorite, served raw as silky slices, and its sturdy flesh also grills, broils, pan-sears, and bakes superbly, standing up to teriyaki glazes, citrus, ginger, and bold marinades. Yellowtail collar, or hamachi kama, is a prized grilled delicacy. Because it is rich, it needs little added fat and cooks quickly. Choose glistening, firm flesh with a clean sea smell, buying sushi-grade fish for raw use, and store yellowtail well chilled, using it within a day or two.
