Fish

Whole

Whole bonito is the gutted or round fish as landed—form for auction, custom butchery, and small-boat sales. Quality depends on bleed, ice, and hours since catch. Sarda / related scombrids; skipjack often grouped. Break down into fillets, collars, and frames, or roast small fish whole. Japanese dashi and Mediterranean grilled bonito. Clear eyes and clean smell beat any label claim.
