Here's everything for Escolar White Tuna:

⚠️ One Quick Note Before the Description

Escolar is a powerful, polarizing fish — its wax ester content is what creates that exceptional richness, but it also means portion size matters. The current description correctly mentions 2–3 oz per serving. Keep that in the new copy — it's responsible, and it actually builds trust with buyers who already know what escolar is.

📝 Description (replace everything)

Escolar is the fish that sushi chefs call "white tuna" when they want to stop the conversation and start the experience. Not a true tuna — it's Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, a deep-water species with a fat content so unusually high that its texture reads as butter before your brain registers fish. It is, for the right person, one of the most extraordinary things you can eat raw.

At Caviar Luxe, our Escolar is sashimi-grade, handled with the same care as everything else we carry.

Flavor Profile

• Appearance: Ivory to pale cream, with a smooth, almost luminous surface — visually unlike any other fish
• Aroma: Clean and neutral — no fishiness, just a faint oceanic warmth
• Palate: Extraordinarily silky, with a melt-in-your-mouth richness that coats the palate gently and completely
• Finish: Long, buttery, and smooth — one of the cleanest finishes in any raw seafood

Perfect For

• Sashimi or nigiri with minimal accompaniment — a touch of citrus, fleur de sel, nothing more
• Crudo with yuzu and microgreens for a refined appetizer course
• Thinly sliced over rice for a simple preparation that lets the fat content speak for itself

How Much Do I Need?

• 2–3 oz per person is the ideal serving — escolar is extremely rich and best enjoyed in focused, small portions
• Do not exceed 6 oz per person in a single sitting; its natural wax ester content is what creates the remarkable texture, and large portions can cause digestive discomfort

Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight. Slice cold, serve immediately.
