Itoyori
A distinctive fish with sun-yellow stripes, the Threadfin Bream features mild lean white meat and a distinctive flavored skin. Found in the sand and mud of Nagasaki and Fukuoka, it’s caught year-round but is usually at its best in the spring and summer. This versatile white fleshed fish can be prepared in a variety of ways, so keep an eye out for it on menus served as sashimi, traditional nigiri sushi, boiled in soups and hot pots, or even grilled.
