which fish is this?


The white fish on the bottom left by the lime slices. Their restaurant’s website didn’t specify, but I’ve been trying to figure out what it is for a week now. What do you guys think?

  1. escolar.

    from wikipedia:

    The escolar’s wax ester content can cause keriorrhea (Greek: flow of wax), also called gempylotoxism or gempylid fish poisoning.[6] Symptoms range from stomach cramps to rapid loose bowel movements, occurring 30 minutes to 36 hours following consumption.[7] This condition may also be referred to as steatorrhea.[8]

    Two known ways to reduce the likelihood of escolar-induced keriorrhea are to limit portions to 170 grams (6 oz) or less[9] and to consume portions close to the tail, which typically have a lower wax ester content. Reports conflict on whether deep skinning, freezing or grilling will reduce the likelihood of keriorrhea.[10]
