Moist, Halibut-like
Escolar has a very white flesh and is sometimes consumed raw as sushi or sashimi. Filleted and cut into thick steaks, escolar can be cooked in numerous ways: pan-fried, braised or grilled. The flavor of its moist white flesh is a bit like that of halibut. It lends itself well to both traditional and exotic recipes. Grilling will tend to reduce the heavy fat content whereas battering will not.
Moist, Firm, Sweet
The Mano de Leon or “Paw of the Lion” is aptly named by Latino fishermen for the scallops large size and orange coloration similar to that of a lions paw. These scallops have absolutely no chemical and are tacky and they glisten. When cooked slightly medium, they are moist and have a distinct flavor reminiscent of the ocean. This scallop is a fantastic compliment to any menu and will wow your customers.
New Caledonian Salt Prawns are raised in a natural habitat with over five times the space of generic shrimp farms. With no antibiotics, pesticides, GMOs, or growth accelerators given to the shrimp at any time, their unparalleled flavor and texture speak for themselves. Their brilliant blue color comes from the plankton they eat in the natural ocean environment in which they are grown. New Caledonian Salt Prawns have only one growing season per year, nine months, during which their lifecycle can be closely watched by the native people of the region who work with and are managed by the Societe de Prodocteurs Aquacole Caledoniens. "SOPAC" is the governing body that manages strict quality and sustainability standards for New Caledonian Blue Prawns, ensuring reliability and quality for all buyers of the product internationally.
