I lived in Japan in the 90s and remember the (big) fish section in the
supermarket. A label on one said, if I recall correctly, "abura no tappiri"
which I believe means 'filled with fat.' Is that correct? And is that
considered a bragging point for fish? (note: I never saw that on pork or beef)

Fish that is "filled with fat"?
脂【あぶら】たっぷり (I believe _tappiri_ is a typo for
[_tappuri_](https://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%9F%E3%81%A3%E3%81%B7%E3%82%8A)) is a
phrase meaning "fatty", "has put on a lot of fat" (but "filled with fat" is
probably an overstatement). It's regarded as a good property of tasty fish.
Fat-rich parts of tuna even have a distinct name ([トロ](https://matcha-
jp.com/en/2646)). For beef, 霜【しも】降【ふ】り ("marbled", "fat-laced") is more common
as a marketing phrase.

Note that 脂【あぶら】 **の** たっぷり makes no sense in isolation. Perhaps you
remembered it incorrectly or you remembered only a part of a longer phrase.
