Fresh Farmed Hirame (Olive Flounder / Japanese Halibut)
平目（養殖） | Japan | Paralichthys olivaceus

Origin
Raised in Japan’s coastal farms, where cold, controlled waters produce exceptionally clean and consistent fish.

Why It’s Special
Hirame is prized for its clean, delicate flavor and fine, structured texture. Subtle yet refined, it offers a lightly sweet finish — a true test of quality and knife skill in traditional sushi.

How to Enjoy (Read This)

• Best for: Sashimi or nigiri 
• Simple prep: Slice thin for sashimi, or serve as-is with minimal seasoning 
• Pro tip: Let it rest briefly after slicing — this relaxes the texture and brings out natural sweetness (a classic sushi technique) 

Size / Format
Whole fish or fillets (varies by order)

Seasonality
Available year-round — consistent quality from controlled farming
