Clean, Lean, Light
Meagre Susuki is a larger fish in aquaculture with an average market weight around 6 lbs. It has a bright translucent flesh that can be enjoyed raw, or slightly cooked. If a clean bright flavor with a tremendous mouth feel is tricky to procure for your crudo, then Meagre Suzuki is available to fill the niche. Medium is probably as far as you would want to take this species to preserve the delicate flake and moisture. However, Meagre Suzuki lends itself to an abundance of methods and techniques, and stands to flavors that represent its wild distribution. Light Mediterranean, Japanese, Pacific Rim, and a host of other global flare is easily incorporated into a Meagre Suzuki presentation.
Super Sweet, Light, Flakey
Triggerfish feed very heavily on Blue Crab, Swimmer Crab, Urchin, Shrimp and Mollusks. This translates to a beautiful Sweeetness and muscle striation. The Striation allows for the flesh to flake into texturally phenomenal strands with a subtle tooth. Brilliant for saute with citrus or cream. Saute, Broil, Grill, Pan Roast.
Light, Paper White, Delicate
In the Haemulon Genus we find many Florida favorites including Magrate, White Snapper, Sailor's Choice, and Porkfish. The Margate is one of the largest in the Genus. Margates are a specialty and aren't often targeted by fishermen. Its Snapper like qualities make the Margate a very desirable food fish. Eats like a cross between Red Snapper and Hogfish. Light, moist, white and sweet. Apply any of your favorite Snapper or Hogfish recipes for a brilliant guest experience.
