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?
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]

Maybe white tuna?
Hate to say it, but maybe Escolar? Small bites.
