The ribbonfish, also known as the hairtail or beltfish, is a member of the cutlassfish family of marine fishes. With a slender, elongated body, this fish is aptly named for its resemblance to a dining chopstick. Despite its diminutive size, it boasts a generous amount of translucent fat, akin to the prized fat found in central Vietnam's stream and river eels.
