Hiramasa kingfish is the king of yellowtail and is regarded as one of the finest sashimi fish. A natural inhabitant of the waters of Southern Australia, the yellowtail kingfish is variously known around the world as amberjack, gelbschwarz, magiatiko, cheruteiro, lechas and hiramasa. The pale pink flesh and sweet, rich flavor make the yellowtail kingfish popular with both Japanese and Western gourmets.

The hiramasa kingfish farmed by Cleanseas is genuinely superior to the wild, with a higher fat content, cleaner flavor and firmer texture. Farmed to the highest environmental standards, the hiramasa kingfish is one of the world’s best. Below are further details about hiramasa kingfish:

• Hiramasa kingfish are farmed by Cleanseas in Boston Bay, Arno Bay and Fitzgerald Bay, Spencer Gulf, South Australia.
• Produced from a wild brood stock, hatchery-raised fingerlings are grown in an open water culture environment located in the Spencer Gulf, South Australia.
• The use of natural feeds, minimal stocking densities and site fallowing practices delivers a fish that is totally sustainable using the world’s best practices.
• Hiramasa kingfish feeds from sustainable sources – non GMO content.
• Available year round.

Seattle Fish will donate 1 percent of all hiramasa sales made in April to Reef Check Australia, a not-for-profit environmental organization that engages the Australian community in coral reef conservation. The organization aims to protect and help to rehabilitate Australia's valuable coral reefs through community education and scientific research.
