A reasonable resemblance to the fillet shape of Sea Bream and Snapper, however, the Rockfish surpasses those species in "Fat". The Rockfish is a deep water species that packs on "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to an incredible silkiness and succulence. The Paper White Cooked flesh is mild and slightly firm with incredible flake. The Rockfish is clean and opaque raw and is a formidable Sashimi and Sushi choice. With all of the creaminess of Tai and Madai, the Rockfish holds up to the most educated palates. Sashimi, Ceviche, Saute, Broil.
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.
Eel is best cooked if it is already skinned, gutted or butterflied, and cut into small chunks. Eel should not be eaten raw and is best served with an acidic sauce (using lemon, vinegar, capers, or tomatoes) to counter the rich meat.
