Hiramasa Kingfish
Used extensively for sashimi, sushi chefs believe this variety of kingfish to be one of the finest of the yellowtail species. Mostly farmed, the fish is fed biodynamic feed, ensuring a healthier end-product.

Note about amines: Fresh seafood has low amine levels, but when older than two days the amine content rises to moderate, and any fish that has been frozen has high levels.
