Re: yellowfin vs yellowtail
When it comes to a choice of ahi (yellowfin) or hamachi (yellowtail) you've just got to decide which is fresher. You can't go wrong with either. What time is dinner?

Re: yellowfin vs yellowtail
The hamachi (yellowtail) has much more of a flavor, if fresh, its the best.
The Yellowfin is more mild and takes on the flavor of whatever you put on it. But both are YUM! |

Re: yellowfin vs yellowtail
our local yellowtail isnt truly hamachi. its called buri in japanese. hamachi comes from japan. good chance the hamachi ur eating at the sushi bar is farm raised -- much higher fat content.

Re: yellowfin vs yellowtail
Wikipedia says "hamachi" versus "buri" is a size distinction:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_amberjack You can't go wrong with either yellowtail or yellowfin, but they are very different in taste a texture. |

While the species we get here are "S. lanlandei" which are sometimes farmed for sushi but are not that great compared to seriola quinqueradiata. The hamachi and buri pertains to the japanese grown fish. 6lbs are hamachi and over 11 lbs are called buri. I prefer yellowtail either way though |

Re: yellowfin vs yellowtail
I prefer Yellowtail, it just has more flavor- either local or farm...
Ahi is good too though. Ahi is like the gateway drug to sushi because of its mild flavor. As you learn to like sushi more, you begin to look for more flavorful stuff like toro, uni, mackerel, etc...

Re: yellowfin vs yellowtail
Thin sliced yellowtail, the thinner the better with a little jalopeno and thick sliced YFT, 1" by 3" slabs are awsome.
