A new species of farmed fish is earning rave reviews from San Diego to Chicago and could be the next big thing in sushi.
About two years ago Baja Seas Director General Luis C. Astiazaran approached his friend Dave Rudie, CEO of Catalina Offshore Products, with a new idea, to farm a new breed of yellowtail offshore in Bahia Magdalena in Mexico.
Baja farmed yellowtail (Seriola Lalandi) comes from the same genius as the popular Hawaiian kampachi (Seriola rivoliana) and is a slightly less fatty alternative to Japanese hamachi (Seriola quniueradita).
