Fresh Japanese Bluefish (Kuromutsu) 新鮮黒鯥

黒ムツ

クロムツは、スズキ目スズキ亜目ムツ科の魚で、大きな眼とするどい歯が印象的な深海魚です。水揚げ量が少なく、その希少性から値段が高く高級魚とされています。魚の調理方法としては、刺身、煮付け、焼き、炙り、干物など、いろいろとありますが、クロムツは刺身や煮付けで食べるのがおすすめです。

Kuromutsu (Blue Fish) is available mostly throughout the year. It is caught on the coastline of Japan and enjoyed as nigiri and poached. It is considered the "chu-toro" of the mutsu family.  In Japanese cuisine, kuromutsu is popularly served grilled (yakimono), simmered (nimono), or as a component in sushi and sashimi dishes. Its high-fat content and moist, delicate flesh contribute to its distinctive and delightful taste.  Due to its desirability and limited availability, kuromutsu is considered a premium fish, and it is sometimes referred to as the "black diamond" of the sea.

黑鯥是棲息在水深200至700米的深海魚，是非常美味的白身魚。作為備受推崇的高級食材，矜貴的“鯥刺身”絕對是時令之選。其魚質頗佳，肥美帶甜、油質重無渣，具有突出的清新魚味。食用時可以一部分做薄切，一部分先將其連皮微灸以逼出油脂，品味時更感滑嫩鮮甜。
