salmon belly
Rich fish cut
The fatty underside of a salmon, prized in cuisine for its rich, buttery texture and high oil content.
In Japanese cooking, salmon belly appears as sashimi or in sushi, where it's valued for its melt-in-the-mouth quality: The salmon belly nigiri was the best thing on the omakase menu.
It's often more expensive than other cuts due to its tenderness and flavor.
