About Butter fish

Butterfish, known for its smooth, velvety texture and rich flavor, is a highly prized seafood often enjoyed in global cuisines, particularly in East Asian and Polynesian cooking. This tender fish is typically small in size and has a mild, slightly sweet taste that pairs well with a variety of seasonings and cooking methods, such as grilling, baking, or steaming. Butterfish is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12, which make it beneficial for heart and brain health. However, it’s important to note that certain types of butterfish (such as Escolar) contain naturally occurring wax esters that may cause digestive sensitivity in some individuals if consumed in large quantities. When eaten in moderation and prepared thoughtfully, butterfish can be a delicious and nutritious addition to your diet.
