A whole fish, scaled and gutted before freezing, with a firm white body that holds its shape on the plate. Few bones and a mild, faintly sweet flavour that takes well to ginger, soy and citrus.

What is in the pack

• Net weight: 2 kg
• 3 whole fish
• Each fish weighs 600 to 700 g and serves two

Where it comes from

Ocean caught and frozen shortly after harvest to hold the texture of the flesh and the clarity of the eye

Its condition

Whole, cleaned and scaled, then frozen so the belly cavity stays intact

Storage and thawing

Keep at -18 C or colder. Thaw in the refrigerator for about 10 hours, then dry the cavity with kitchen paper before cooking.

Shelf life and delivery

Best within 9 months of the pack date on the back panel. Ships in an insulated box with gel ice.

How to cook it

Score the flank twice, pack the cuts with ginger and steam for 8 to 10 minutes, then finish with hot oil and soy. Grilled over charcoal or pan seared skin side down also works well. It is done when the flesh at the bone turns opaque; keep it just short of that to stay moist.

Allergen

Contains fish. Keep it away from anyone who reacts to this group, and wash hands, boards and knives after handling raw product.
