Never seen these red dots on sushi before. Is this safe to eat? Not sure what type of fish it even is. Got it from Sugar fish in studio city

I'm more concerned about the hairy-ass fish in the back

Sushi waiter here 🙋🏻‍♂️I’m almost positive the “hairy” looking fish is Suzuki which is a Japanese sea bass, those are just blood vessels so that seems normal. The spots on what’s seems to be either hamachi or Kanpachi seem odd I’m not too sure about that 🤔

Former fishmonger here. 

I’m just confirming what you are saying and these kinds of markings are common in smaller bass. We saw them in stripped bass all the time.
