bonito
This term refers specifically to a group of fast-swimming pelagic fish. In culinary contexts, it is most frequently associated with Japanese cuisine, where the fish is smoked and fermented to create katsuobushi, the essential base for dashi broth. This gives the word a strong association with umami and traditional Asian gastronomy.
While the word is used generally for several species of skipjack and little tunas, it is treated as a standard countable noun in English. There are no irregular pluralization patterns or restrictive countability rules associated with this term.
