hello guys, a few hours ago i bought a sushi combo from my local hmart, and i was just wondering if this sashimi right here (that i circled) looks like escolar? i’ve had escolar before and this sashimi right here tastes highly identical to escolar, but it’s not white like escolar and it has a slight pink tint to it, and the pattern also doesn’t really resemble escolar too.
do you guys have any ideas? is this escolar too or is it possibly another type of fish? thank you if you’re willing to help out 🙂

Looks like hamachi.
Sushi chef here, it’s hamachi. Im pretty sure I know the brand they’re probably using too. And it’s not hamachi belly, it’s just hamachi, probably head-side upper back loin based on shape. It’s a weird cut though the way they did it.
And pretty much every piece of hamachi from any portion of a loin, belly or not, is super buttery.
And don’t buy sushi from H Mart anymore. I’m Korean, and I know better lol.
Hamachi or hirame. Escolar is pure white that it’s almost suspicious lol.
