Description

Elevate your home dining with our premium Frozen Escolar Saku Blocks. These conveniently pre-cut, ready-to-use blocks (Saku is the Japanese term for a uniform rectangular block) are super-frozen immediately after processing to lock in peak freshness, ensuring a firm, beautiful texture perfect for slicing.

Escolar is one of the fattiest fish available, containing high levels of indigestible wax esters (gempylotoxin). This fat content gives the fish its famously rich, silky, and "buttery" texture that is unlike any other white fish. This decadent quality makes it a highly desired delicacy.

Due to its high concentration of indigestible wax esters, Escolar must be consumed in moderation. While not toxic, consuming more than a recommended portion (typically under 6 ounces) may cause temporary gastrointestinal discomfort (keriorrhea) in some individuals. We recommend enjoying it in small portions, just as you would any very rich, indulgent food.
