sunrise 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Could someone please help me with the japanese names for these fish: cod fish red snapper mackeral (someone told me that's saba) thanks. I've been given some nice recipes with these fish and want to get the nihongo names to ask for them in the shops. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 cod = tara red snapper = fuedai (I think that is just snapper, not red) mackeral = saba (that one's right) Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think tai (bream) is a more common fish here and is similar to snapper. In fact if I remember rightly, then snapper is a typr of sea bream anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yes Sea Bream and snapper (Tai)are the same. Coming from Oz we always use the term snapper or schnapper never sea bream. Is it only in Oz? Which expression is common in other countries? Link to post Share on other sites
Mudguts 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 pink snapper is the Oz trans for red snapper/tai Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 yeah well all shell fish should be shot at birth if you ask me! I developed allergy to mackeral a few years back. Red rash over my whole body (shudder). Yours similar? Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I believe red snapper - (Lutjanus campechanus) is 'kinmetai' literally 'gold eye snapper'. black snapper is Kurodai - tai, dai, snapper, bream are one and the same. speaking of snapper, what happened to the forum member named snapper?

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I usually eat shake, saba, hokke, or maguro once a week. inoshishiboy, whaddare the english names again? How sad is it, really, when you only know the Japanese? Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 mruuaaaaaggggghhh (Homer Simpson drool) back at ya Nicole! Barramundi is one of the nicest fish I have ever eaten! Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'll second that! Barramundi is great! Bushpig - hokke is atka mackeral? What the hell is that? Thanks for the further info on the red snapper guys. I'm a little confused though - seems there are a few names for snapper. Do we have any general consensus here? Is kinmetai the one I should ask for, maybe any tai is close enough if people look at me strangely. Yeh, yama, I love shake and maguro too, and I like how they grill the saba here. Good fish and chips, mmmmm, agreed....! Let's have REAL chips too, not any of that reconstituted startch stuff...! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 This is Atka Mackerel in all it's colourful glory Sunrise! http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/species/Atka_mackerel.htm Yeah, Schnapper, snapper, sea bream, all of them are Tai. All the same species (ie. bream, or variations of it). Anything finishing with tai or dai will get you close enough to what you want. Oh man.... We gotta stop this fish and chip talk so are you salt and vinegar, sauce or chicken salt fans?? I personally like salt and vinegar, sometimes chicken salt, and perhaps even both together...

sunrise 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Very pretty looking fish. Yes - I'm a salt and vinegar fan - not too much salt, I also like lemon juice. I had some really nice fish and chips down the coast near Thirroul last summer. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I like salt and lemon. I am also a big tomato sauce fan. I have recently been introduced to beer battered chips - probably the most artery-clogging food you can get and oh-so-delicious! My favourite is calamari. Good calamari, not the stringy kind.
