Ikejime (活け締め) reduces stress on the fish at harvest, preserving its quality and giving hamachi that's superior in freshness and texture. Each round is a minimum of 10 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThis is a whole fish for professionals — restaurants, sushi chefs, or serious home cooks who want to break down their own cuts. From one round you get the loins for sashimi and nigiri, the belly (harami) for its richer fat, and the collar (kama) for grilling. It's a fish to start from scratch with, not a ready-to-plate portion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHamachi (ハマチ) — yellowtail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhole round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProcessing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIkejime \/ asa-jime (活け締め)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eminimum 10 lbs per piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeason\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYear-round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFresh \/ refrigerated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSashimi, sushi, butchering your own cuts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eBreak the round down into loins, belly, and collar.
