On the FLN Network Today
On the FLN network today, the original Iron Chef Japan featured a yellow tail challenge.

Yes, I Watched the Show
It was amazing. I am an unashamed fan of the original Iron Chef Japan.
The feature ingredient on this episode was yellow tail.
The narrator explained that very large yellow tail is called "bure" (there are many names for yellow tail, small-to-medium, hamachi is kind of a
generic term}. Bure is a specific name for the largest and most expensive yellow tail - each whole fish going for more then $2,000 each.
Morimoto, Iron Chef Japanese, follows his own instincts, bringing a fusion style to Japanese cuisine.
He was challenged for the third time by the Ohta faction which promotes strict adherence to traditional Japanese preparation and presentation. The
Ohta faction marched into the stadium waving banners, seventy people strong, including the two chefs he had defeated before.
I was particularly inspired by one of the dishes that Morimoto prepared which was yellow tail with mango
I am inspired to try to play off with what he did to create a mango/jalapeno and/or habanero salsa with yellow tail ceviche.
And, by the way, Morimota won the challenge against the tradionalists.

Found a new recipe for yellowtail
Tried this recipe yesterday evening with some frozen yellowtail and it was great. I made sure that I trimmed off all the dark meat. I have not
always had great luck with using frozen yellowtail, but this recipe works. I think it would also be good with Dorado.

A long time ago I used to dive regularly with Loreto Divers. After two tanks at Isla Coronado they would pull into that little cove with the sandy
beach and make lunch for the divers. They would invariably have several medium-sized yellowtail, the whole fish, fresh, gutted and scaled with skin
on. They would rub some kind of a mustard/garlic sauce all over the fish, inside and out, stuff the cavity with peppers and other veggies, and then
bake it in a pit in the ground wrapped in tinfoil. Maybe it was the ambience, or maybe we all were just so damn hungry after the dives, but the meat
was flaky and absolutely DELICIOUS. Except for that variant, I have always preferred jurel as sashimi or, as Paulina suggests, as ceviche.
carpe diem!

Caution: the "yellowtail" you find in Japanese sushi restaurants is not the same as the "yellowtail/jurel" we all know and love.
