oilfish
A deep-sea fish (Ruvettus pretiosus) known for its oily flesh, which can cause digestive issues if eaten in large quantities. Often labeled as バラムツ in markets.
Oilfish is very oily and can cause stomach upset if eaten in large amounts.
I saw oilfish at the market, but I didn't know how to cook it.
Standard katakana spelling; the word is usually written in kana.
Ateji spelling using kanji for 'rose' and 'gnomefish'; very rare and not practical for learners.
The name likely combines バラ (bara, 'rose') and ムツ (mutsu, 'gnomefish'), possibly from the fish's pinkish hue. The exact derivation is uncertain.
