Anyone can identify this white fish in my chirashi bowl

1. I was going to say hamachi/yellow tail but that usually has a bit of pink on it depending on the restaurant, so I’m guessing harami/halibut

   Edit: white tuna is a possibility too

2. Escolar

3. shiro maguro

4. That could be albacore, yellowtail or Japanese Spanish mackerel.

   mayyyybe escolar or sea bass but probably not. I feel like the color doesn’t match most escolar I’ve seen.

   It’s safe to call it shiromi but that term covers all white color sushi fish (I think).

   It’s kind of darker to be halibut so I don’t think that’s the answer here.

   If it had a very slight slight fishy taste or stronger fish taste then I would guess Japanese Spanish mackerel. Mackerel is also quite oily.

   Otherwise I’d guess yellowtail or albacore where they only used specific parts of the fish for this picture.

5. Albacore

6. Looks like Kajiki or strip marlin

7. Fish detective on the case! Shiromi it is, with a side of mystery.

8. Looks like chicken
