I usually wait a day for porgy, 2 days for fluke/Seabass, and 5-6 days for blackfish. Trust me, this is the best way to enjoy full flavor of fish....I was born and raised in Japan.
Interesting, I didn't know that. I'm surprised, because I was on a party boat with a group of what appeared to be three young Japanese anglers. As soon as they got their first keeper fluke, they stopped fishing, filleted the fish, and brought out a bunch of sashimi fixin's. They proceeded to eat the fish which wasn't more than 20 minutes out of the water.

I know when it comes to meat, it takes a few days for it to tenderize and develop flavor, I didn't think that was the case with fish.
