I know escolar, though, although I've never seen it a sushi bar. I like it's taste, but I don't like what it does to my digestive system, so I've stopped eating it. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

The name is different everywhere I go.. some places just call it white tuna, some call it mutzu, etc. I guess we're the lucky ones that don't have the ill effects. I've eaten a fair amount too in one sitting. Does a pair of nigiri cause problems? -- Dan |

I've only had it cooked. My ill effects are fairly mild, and not terrible, but they are annoying enough that I've stopped eating it. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

I used to eat it a lot because they had it at the Todais in
California. I don't think they have it any more. It was delicious. Cleaned out yer insides, too. |

We had this discussion a little while ago and it's confusing because both escolar and albacore can be called "white tuna". From personal experience, escolar, called "white tuna" by the chef, is *delicious* and produced the runs for a day. It is banned by the health authorities in Japan.The problem is the very large oil content and some people are lucky enough to be able to digest it. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

I used to wonder, though, why it was that after I dined at Todai I
needed to make a rather urgent bathroom stop. |

You might also find this fish under the Hawaiian name Walu. I do
believe though that in order to receive any of the negative effects you would have to consume 6oz or more of the fish. I normally eat an order of nigiri or two of this fist and have never had any problems. Then again I guess certain people might be more susceptible to the oils than others. |

In anycase, Walu is Escolar. Albacore in Hawaii is Tombo Ahi. Musashi |

My one and only experience with escolar (and resulting in the runs) was in a sashimi platter. The two pieces were about 2"x1"x1/4" and I think the weight would be about an ounce at most. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

And you are right that it's a mackerel, as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar points out. It turns out that the problems are caused by something called wax esters.

The whole mackerel > family is oily but escolar wins out! Well, its sometimes called Snake Mackerel, but I don't think it is. Lepidocybium flavobrunneum vs Scomberomorus maculatus. I believe the term Snake Mackerel is what throws people off since its not an offical name. Its like saying yellowtail.. yellowtail what? Snapper, flounder amberjack. The latter being the one we eat for sushi. -- Dan |
