Fish

Steak

Amberjack steak is a thick cross-cut or loin portion for grilling—firm, pale to pinkish, rich but clean when very fresh. It behaves like a meaty fish steak: hot surface, short time, rest briefly. Season simply; finish with acid or herb oil. Closely related yellowtail (hamachi/buri) traditions apply to sushi-grade fish. Doneness is judged by flake and translucency, not beef habits alone.
