How it's used
Often referred to as 鰤魚 in a culinary context to clarify it is a fish, as the single character 鰤 is rarely used alone in speech. It is highly prized in Japanese cuisine, particularly during the winter months when the fish is fattest and most flavorful. You will frequently see it on menus in local Japanese restaurants or high-end supermarkets.
