About Escolar
Escolar, often referred to as "white tuna," is a deep-sea fish known for its tender, buttery texture and rich flavor. Native to warm ocean waters around the globe, this fish is prized in cuisines such as Japanese and Mediterranean and commonly served as sushi or grilled steaks. Escolar is a nutrient-packed protein source, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, it contains high levels of indigestible wax esters (gempylotoxin) that can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals when consumed in excess. Portion control is key, with recommendations of servings under 6 ounces per person. While its creamy taste is a culinary delight, opting for smaller portions ensures enjoyment without potential health concerns, making Escolar a sought-after but carefully managed addition to diverse dishes.
