What is e-Amberjack? e-Kanpachi is a registered amberjack mark that is raised only with EP feed without feeding any live food. Mark registration No. 5583028 What is EP feed? EP is an abbreviation for "Extruded Pellet", which is a feed made by foaming a compound feed using a special technique. It is environmentally friendly and has excellent safety and quality stability. EP feed is an expensive feed, but by growing it on EP feed, it grows to excellent quality with a firm texture even though it is oily. Amberjack has a lower fat content than yellowtail of the same type, and although it has a good reputation for sashimi and sushi, it has been considered unsuitable for simmered and grilled foods. On the other hand, if the lipid content is high, oxidation and discoloration are likely to occur, the texture may be lost, and the aquaculture odor (the odor of the food contained in the live food) may be felt. Usually, Maruei Fisheries' amberjack lipid is 5 to 6%, and other companies' amberjack lipid with a large amount of fat calories is 8 to 9%. However, despite the high fat content of e-amberjack, which is around 10%, it is often evaluated as having a chewy texture and no aquaculture odor. In fact, when the breaking strength was examined, there was almost no difference, and the results showed that oxidation and discoloration were slow, and it was found that there was no odor in the tasting test. Oxidation and discoloration, which were weak points due to high fat, and conversely, e-amberjack may be amberjack that overcomes weak points for both cooking purposes, which were weak points due to low fat .
