Buri/Hamachi (Yellowtail)

Print

Buri - YellowtailYellowtail is a fish with, as its name might suggest, yellow stripes along its tail section. In Japan the name for this fish changes depending upon its stage of growth. There are also some slight differences in naming by region, but the common names are: wakashi /tsubasu (from 20 cm), inada/hamachi (from 40 cm), warasa worn 60 cm) and buri (from 80 cm).

Yellowtail is a big fish and so is usually already sliced before hitting the store shelves. The most common ways that yellowtail is eaten in Japan are raw as sashimi, boiled in a sauce, as teriyaki or broiled with salt. The head section is called "kama'and makes for a popular grilled treat.

Yellowtail is loaded with taurine and unsaturated fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). This fish is also rich in vitamins B1, B2 and D.

Yellowtail can be stored frozen or refrigerated, but should be used soon after purchase.

Hidecho Suisan Co., Ltd.

Yellowtail

Rich tasting Yellowtail is also rich in nutrients, including various vitamins and minerals as well as histidine, an essential amino acid, and fish oil, which is full of DHA, an omega-3 essential fatty acid. DHA is a major component of brain phospholipids, especially in the retina. Dietary DHA can reduce the level of blood triglycerides in humans, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Low levels of DHA result in reduction of brain serotonin levels and have been associated with ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, and depression, among other diseases, and there is mounting evidence that DHA supplementation may be effective in combating such diseases.
