Popular Red Fish Assortment Set

This popular assortment set features a selection of premium red fish, including highly sought-after varieties such as kinmedai (golden eye snapper), akamutsu (blackthroat seaperch), kinki (broadbanded thornyhead), and amadai (tilefish). These fish are carefully chosen from the market for their rich, fatty texture.

Key Characteristics:

- Kinki: Known for its rich fat content, kinki is exceptionally delicious. It’s perfect for grilling, delivering a satisfying flavor. Despite its resemblance to kinmedai, it is a different species. Kinki is a deep-sea fish, similar to kinmedai, and is typically enjoyed as a winter dish when simmered.

- Kinmedai: Often confused with tai (snapper), kinmedai is also a deep-sea fish, best enjoyed during the winter. Its rich flavor makes it ideal for simmered dishes.

- Amadai: Although not actually a member of the tai family, amadai is cherished for its unique texture. When grilled with its scales on, it offers a delightful crispy texture combined with the plump, fatty flesh underneath.

- Nodoguro: Also known as akamutsu, nodoguro is often regarded as the current king of high-end fish. Its flesh is extremely tender and characterized by a luxurious quality fat that permeates the entire fish. With a crude fat content exceeding 20%, which rivals the richness of tuna toro, nodoguro is often referred to as the "toro of white fish." In recent years, it has become one of the most popular fish.

This assortment is perfect for those who appreciate the rich, fatty flavors of these premium red fish, offering a variety of textures and tastes to enjoy in different culinary preparations.
