The Elegant Amberjack

Kanpachi (Greater Amberjack) is prized for its firm, clean-tasting flesh with a subtle sweetness. Less fatty than Hamachi but with a more refined texture, Kanpachi occupies a special place in Japanese cuisine — it's the thinking person's yellowtail.

Farmed Kanpachi from Nagasaki is raised in deep-water ocean pens where strong currents produce exceptionally firm-fleshed fish. The consistent quality makes it a reliable choice for high-end sushi programs.

Advance Intertrade offers farmed Kanpachi year-round in sizes from 3–8kg, available whole or as custom cuts.

How It's Served

  • 🍣

    Sashimi & Sushi

    The firm, translucent flesh holds its shape beautifully on the sushi counter — clean and refreshing.

  • 🔥

    Carpaccio

    Thinly pounded and served with citrus and olive oil — the firm texture is perfect for this preparation.

  • 🍲

    Kanpachi Kama (Collar)

    The collar grilled with salt — rich, fatty, and considered the best part of the fish by many chefs.
