Yellowtail Kingfish (Hamachi) Toro, Frozen, +/-250g

The Taste and Flavour of Yellowtail Kingfish (Hamachi) Toro!

Yellowtail kingfish hamachi toro is a premium cut prized for its rich, buttery texture and refined taste. Taken from the belly, it is the most luxurious part of the fish, offering a melt-in-the-mouth quality that balances delicate sweetness with a clean ocean freshness. The marbling of natural oils enhances its velvety consistency, giving it a luscious and almost creamy sensation on the palate. Unlike leaner cuts, this belly portion carries a depth of flavour that is both elegant and indulgent, making it a favourite among sushi and sashimi lovers. Its flavour profile is subtle yet sophisticated, neither overpowering nor bland, allowing it to pair beautifully with both simple preparations and bold culinary techniques.
