Frozen Oilfish Smooth Skin（Lepidocybium flavobrunneum）

Frozen Escolar (Lepidocybium flavobrunneum) is a wild-caught deep-sea fish belonging to the Gempylidae family. It is widely distributed in tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, typically inhabiting offshore and deep-water environments.
Escolar is primarily caught as bycatch in commercial tuna and swordfish longline fisheries. Pelagic longline fishing is one of the main harvesting methods, allowing fishing vessels to operate in offshore waters where Escolar naturally occurs.
The fish is characterized by its elongated body, dark brown to nearly black skin, and naturally high lipid content. Its flesh has a rich, buttery texture, making it a distinctive seafood product in international markets.
