There is an official NAME for escolar. "ABURA SOKOMUTSU" = it means oily living in the bottom of ocean Mutsu fish. This is an official name. Definitely not Abura Bouzu. Abura bouzu is different fish and I tasted them in Hokkaido. It is great but Escolar definitely outkilled in every way for taste..
