Escolar is a creamy fish that melts in your mouth. It's found worldwide in tropical and temperate waters, but it can be difficult to purchase outside of big cities due to availability. Escolar is known for its high content of oil called gempylotoxin, which can cause indigestion and flu-like symptoms for some who consume the fish. Escolar can be a delicious fish, but make sure you do not have any allergies to the oils before consuming.
