Escolar

ESCOLAR IS FOUND IN TROPICAL WATERS AND IS CONSIDERED A BY PRODUCT OF THE TUNA FISHING INDUSTRY, OFTEN BEING CAUGHT IN THE TUNA NETS. THESE FISH ARE NOT ABLE TO DIGEST SOME OF THE ESTERS OF THE FATTY ACIDS THEY CONSUME. THEY RETAIN THEM IN THEIR FLESH WHICH MAKES THE FLESH OILY, WHICH CAN CAUSE INTESTINAL DISTRESS TO THE CONSUMER IF TOO MUCH IS EATEN. THE TEXTURE IS MUCH LIKE TUNA AND THE FLAVOR IS INTENSE FROM THE RICH BUTTERY FLAVOR.
