Walu
Only insiders know about Walu and its rare oil which is unique to only a few species. One of the two best-tasting fish in the world. Walu has a rich, buttery flavor that is luscious cooked and a delicacy raw. This exotic sashimi grade fish is also known as "white tuna" because of its rich oil content and tuna-like texture. Density and high moisture retention make this a versatile fish to prepare and a valuable commodity raw. Its paper-white color marks up especially well on the grill.
