From 推しの子:

> 抑えてるに決まってるでしょ！周りの役者は揃いも揃って大根役者ばっかり！！メインキャストの中でマトモに演技出来るの私だけなのよ！！こん中で私がバリバリやってみなさい！他の役者の大根ぶりが浮き彫りになっちゃって
> **ぶり大根でしょ** ！！

I translated the first part of the last sentence as:

> The other actors' ham acting would be brought to the fore.

What is the meaning of this sentence and why is ぶり used as a prefix in
ぶり大根でしょ? Does it have a kanji? What does it mean?

question
meaning
ぶり as a prefix in ぶり大根
It is just a nonsense pun, vaguely similar to まじ卍{まんじ} (see [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/94711/45489)).

ぶり in the first 大根ぶり is a suffix meaning _the way..._ ([#1
here](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/%E3%81%B6%E3%82%8A/#je-67058)). 大根
here is a shortened 大根役者, meaning _bad/poor actor_. ( _... would make it stand
out how bad actors they are_.)

Then ぶり大根 is a Japanese dish
([recipe](https://www.kurashiru.com/recipes/83c5b0cb-3710-49d3-9f5e-635f87dea30c)),
kind of fish stew where the main ingredients are ぶり and 大根 the vegetable. ぶり
appears as _yellowtail_ in dictionaries, but I don't think I've ever seen one
being sold in Western supermarkets. Basically it is fish similar to, but
smaller than tuna and larger than mackerel.

ぶり大根でしょ is said just because it makes a pun, and there is no meaning added to
the sentence.
