Characteristics:<\/span><\/p>\n

Wahoo (Kamasusawara) is widely distributed in tropical and temperate waters throughout the world. In Japan, it is found mainly on the Pacific side of southern Japan. Wahoo migrate in small schools in the surface waters off the coast of the open ocean. It is the largest fish in the Spanish mackerel family, with a body length exceeding 2 meters. The name “Kamasusawara” is derived from its head shape, which resembles that of Kamasu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kamasusawara may look like a white fish, but it is a blueback fish of the mackerel family, so its flesh is reddish. Its flesh is slightly watery and soft, and it easily falls apart. When fresh, it has no peculiarity or odor and is eaten as sashimi. Like Sawara, it is also used for grilled fish, yuan-yaki, fried fish, and other dishes. In the Daito Islands, it is highly prized as a sushi topping for Daito sushi.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
