Default Hamachi kama

I was just talking to my sister who had a chance lately to try Hamachi kama
and she highly recommends it as her new favorite 'not to miss' item when she
dines out. I had to search around to find its Japanese name from her
description.

Any comments.

In the Japanese grocery store where I go, whenver a new shipment of Hamachi
comes in I can tell because
of the Hamachi sashimi packs all laid out. Sometimes I'll go right to the
section where they sell the head and
bones at reduced prices and grab a Hamachi no Kama (hamachi collar). Salted,
grilled with lemon it's
extremely simple to prepare and tasty. If also find that if Hamachi is not
available, Salmon collars done the same way
is also very good.

We had some Atlantic Salmon pens in the area and I'm sure a lot of good
eating went to waste.

It appears as if it is right behind the gill plate. Does it have to be
chopped out, Musashi, or is there a natural line to follow when removing the
collar? I found a few pictures online, but mostly served up and dressed on a
plate - none showing preparation.

It's not anything special. After fish is gutted and the gills are removed,
I cut the connecting tissue between the lower jaw and the stomach.
Then the head can be pivoted upwards and the backbone cut, leaving
a headless fish with pectoral fins still on.
Then I cut diagonally from top(back) to bottom (belly) at a slight angle.
the Kama (collar will have the pectoral fin on it). How far back behind the
pectoral fin you want to cut depends on how much meat you want to leave
on the Kama.
You "can" follow the natural line of the gill cover if you like, but as far
as I am aware
since the Kama is a leftover from dressing the fish, I wouldn't cut it in
any way that would
affect the main filets.

Thanks for that information. It may be sometime before I get my hands on a
yellowtail, but I've always looked at the flesh left on the head as a waste
of good fish. Probably get a chance to try it on some salmon first.
