Species Overview
Red Sea Bream
The red sea bream, known as 'tai' in Japan, is considered the king of fish in Japanese cuisine. It holds deep cultural significance and is traditionally served at celebrations. Its delicate white flesh is prized for sashimi and sushi.
Summer Flounder
The summer flounder, or fluke, is a flatfish that lies camouflaged on the ocean floor. Born with eyes on both sides, one eye migrates to the left side during development. An ambush predator, it explodes upward to grab passing prey.
