Is buri a kind of fish?

[Porthos]

Buri is the largest size of yellowtail. As the fish grows in size, it is referred to by different names (inada, hamachi/warasa, buri). During the winter (Jan/Feb) Buri is at its peak fattiness and is known as kan buri (winter buri). It is tastiest at this time. So the grilled collar is supposed to be good now. If you can find the belly cut, it is delicious as sushi...even better than o-toro IMO.

For this seating, the "collar" was actually 1/2 the head.

They were serving buri sushi and sashimi back in Dec. Guess they now have more cuts.

i agree with Porthos, good quality buri december until february is excellent sashimi and sushi, melts in your mouth ,,, I had some good buri sashimi at Azuba the other nite, amazingly good.
Kanoyama most often serves hamachi collar,, but perhaps now has buri as it is still in season, i havent tried it but i love Kanoyama,,, the bluefin tuna ribs are a must-try there
