Tender, Light, Moist
Beautiful Ike Jime Sashimi fish. Large wide sides and thin skeleton. Great yields and even better flavor. The word Tai refers to many imported fish and this is the true Japanese Sea Bream. You will find this flesh is a bit more tender than other Snappers with light color and flake. The flesh is almost "fluffy" when cooked.
