"Hawaiian Kanpachi is a dream to work with. Raw or cooked, it is a stunner. It is endlessly and effortlessly adaptable to any preparation. It is very easy to debone producing high yield of meat to bone ratio. Hawaiian Kanpachi is consistent in size and is always in season because it is harvested not caught. So being sustainably farmed translates to a sustainable and a year-round viable menu item for any restaurant."
