Amberjack provides a luscious flavor profile with a firm texture. Although perfect for sushi, sashimi and crudos, it is also excellent for sous vide, braised, direct dry heat and char applications that allow the supple fat content to melt into firm white flesh. Often used in the same applications as Hamachi and Kanpachi, this versatile ingredient continues to garner praise from some of North America's most talented Chefs.

Yellowtail Amberjack is a crowd favorite. With the firm, mild white flesh this fish pairs perfectly with crisp whites wines and light citrus lagers.
