Despite being famous throughout the culinary world, Yellowtail Kingfish was actually little known in Australia in 2002. That’s when Clean Seas began farming Yellowtail Kingfish in its native waters of South Australia. With a grand heritage running back centuries in Japan, Yellowtail Kingfish is now recognised and used in many cultures around the world. Our Yellowtail Kingfish is the ultimate white fish for raw and cooked dishes in top kitchens worldwide. In Japan, Yellowtail Kingfish is by far the most popular white fish for Sashimi and Sushi. In Italy, where it is called Ricciola, it is the most requested fish for Tartare & Carpaccio. In Peru, Ceviche isn’t authentic unless made with Yellowtail Kingfish. In Hawaii, it’s the local favourite for their famous Poke bowls. From Australia to France and The Americas, our Yellowtail Kingfish is the centrepiece of any dish. Now we’re making our beautiful fish available to homes around the world.
Kingfish is also known as Yellowtail and Hiramasa, part of the Seriola family, which includes Hamachi and Kampachi. In Japan, Hiramasa is the best regarded of them all, including the local Hamachi.
This preference for Hiramasa is supported by its unique combination of richness and firmness when consumed cooked or raw and holding its colour remarkably well.
We have been the global leader in farming Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) since 2004.
