Hamachi kama is a popular Japanese dish featuring grilled yellowtail collar. It is considered a delicacy and is known for its rich and flavorful meat. The collar, located behind the fish's head, is larger and thicker than other parts, with a higher fat content that makes it moist and tender when cooked. Seasoned with salt and sometimes marinades, it is grilled until the skin is crispy and the flesh is cooked through. Hamachi kama is served as a standalone dish or as part of a larger meal, accompanied by soy sauce or ponzu sauce for dipping. It is garnished with lemon or lime and enjoyed by pulling the meat apart with chopsticks or a fork, highlighting the unique flavors of Japanese cuisine.
