Creamy, Delicate, Moist
This fish is not related to the Warehou species or other members of the Centrolophidae family which are called Butterfish in Japan. It is also not related to Walu or Escolar that is sometimes marketed as Butterfish in Hawaii. This is the real Butterfish, truly worthy of its name. Very Rich and Delicate! Poach, Saute, Broil, Steam.
Mild, Rich, Creamy
Like many Rockfish, The Red Rock Cod has a phenomenal moisture that translates to a rich and succulent texture. The raw light pink flesh cooks to a brilliant paper white. The Rock Cod has a blank slate canvas that accepts many applications. The light flavor is a vehicle for fresh Spring and Summer herbs, fruits and vegetables. Light Butter Sauces, Vinaigrettes, Gastriques and Purees are perfect for this Hand Line delicacy. Saute, Broil, Ceviche, Sous Vide.
Sweet, Buttery, Creamy
The Sea Tiger has long been a staple food source for Asia. Regarded as a gorgeous, yet monstrous Saltwater Prawn, the Sea Tiger begins the bite with a snap. The subsequent chew offers a creamy and buttery texture that is full of sweetness. The Sea Tiger lends itself to many versatile applications. The usage is as vast as the culinary imagination. Soldier packing allows the Prawn to retain its structural integrity. Attached legs and antennae show that the Sea Tiger have been handled with the utmost care. This translates to a brilliant plate presentation. Broil, Poach, Saute, Grill, Ama Ebi.
