You've all been pretty quiet lately. I've been swamped at work and
haven't had time to check in a few weeks (months) but you guys are
usually pretty chatty

OB sushi stuff:
I've recently been told that most of what I know about hamachi is wrong,
and that we non Japanese folk are confusing Japanese Amberjack,
Yellowtail Amberjack, Almaco Jack, and greater Amberjack and confusing
nomenclature on them
(hamachi/buri/hiramasa/hirenaga-kanpachi/kanpachi/kona). I'm digging up
all the info I can on this, but can anyone affirm that there is some
confusion outside Japan as the the real Japanese names for all these
fish and which fish they really are?

and that "hamachi" is really Japanese Abmerjack and that Yellowtail
Amberjack is really "Hiramasa?"

Thanks.
