To compare the 1.5 lb yellow spot papio and 2lb uku written up earlier, my neighbor Brian filleted half and steamed the other half. Here’s his brief but detailed comparison of the young fish. Thanks Brian!

Brian:

Both fish were great as sashimi. The yellow spot was tender and mild. The uku was firm and had a stronger flavor. The uku was easier to slice since it was a thicker fillet.

Steamed, the yellow spot papio was more flaky and dense whereas the uku was more moist and light. Texture wise, the uku was preferred but both were very good.
