Firm, Light, Clean
Around the world this fish is known as the high end Canned Tuna, but not in Hawaii. The Tombo is an integral part of the local diet and is an excellent solution to smaller portioning of loin steaks. Lighter in color than its cousin the Yellowfin, the Tombo sheens a beautiful Candy hue like a Pearl paint job on a classic car. When used in contrast of the deep red Yellowfin in a sashimi platter, Tombo stands on its own as a GIANT little Tuna.
Robust, Sweet
Silver Mouth Snapper or Iron Jaw is an adventurous predator, swimming against strong currents around deep water ledges to obtain his favorite fishy fair. With this rigorous feeding routine, the Lehi stays lean and mean, providing firm pink flesh and a flakey flavorful finished menu selection. Lehi boasts one of the most robust flavor profiles in the group. A real fish eaters’ fish.
Sweet, Buttery, Creamy
The Sea Tiger has long been a staple food source for Asia. Regarded as a gorgeous, yet monstrous Saltwater Prawn, the Sea Tiger begins the bite with a snap. The subsequent chew offers a creamy and buttery texture that is full of sweetness. The Sea Tiger lends itself to many versatile applications. The usage is as vast as the culinary imagination. Soldier packing allows the Prawn to retain its structural integrity. Attached legs and antennae show that the Sea Tiger have been handled with the utmost care. This translates to a brilliant plate presentation. Broil, Poach, Saute, Grill, Ama Ebi.
