@omaweii Katsuo is something I like to share with people who are used to bluefin. It’s so different in flavor and shows you just how much variety there can be in the same family of fish. Have you tried it? #sushichef #losangeles

Transcript

Katsu or skipjack is one of Japan's defining seasonal fish. Its lean flesh has a good, iron rich flavor that's completely different from bluefin. It's often lightly seared over hay, adding a smokey aroma while preserving the clean interior. No matter how you prepare it, the flavor is always balanced and expressive.
