1. Hamachi/yellowtail?

3. It is hamachi

4. Hamachi for sure

5. hamachi

6. I thought this thing was crawling with parasites for a second

7. I had to look twice. I thought their were parasite tentacles coming out of the Hamachi

8. It could be hamachi or amberjack with the bloodline removed (both usually have a more pronounced bloodline), but it was a very small hamachi/amberjack if that’s the case. Usually these fish are split between the piece off the back of the fish and the piece off the belly side because it’s a much larger fish. The sashimi in your photo has both the meat from the backside (top half), and the belly (bottom half). Another possibility is stripped bass, but it looks like this has more fat on it than stripped bass would normally have so I’m stumped.

10. For a second i thought this was something else

23. Newbie here–if it is yellowtail or whatever, why does it look like that? I’m not super familiar with that sort of fish, so what’s the white strings?
