The true king of Sustainability, long prized by the Japanese as one of the great sashimi fish. Seriola Lalandi - also known as Hiramasa, Yellowtail kingfish, Lechas, Riciola, Magiatiko and Gelbschwanz makrele. A natural inhabitant to the waters of Southern Australia, the yellowtail kingfish (seriola lalandi) is variously known around the world as Hiramasa, Yellowtail kingfish, Lechas, Riciola, Magiatiko and Gelbschwanz makrele. In Japan, where it is known as the Hiramasa, it is regarded as one of the finest sashimi fish. The pale pink flesh and sweet, rich flavour make the Yellowtail kingfish popular with both Japanese and Western gourmets. Cleanseas call the farmed Yellowtail Kingfish by its Japanese name Hiramasa - differentiating it from the wild fish. The Hiramasa Kingfish farmed by Cleanseas is guinely superior to the wild, with a higher fat content, cleaner flavour and firmer texture making it more versatile, consistant and delicious. Farmed to the highest environmental standars, the Hiramasa is truly the world's best.
