Flakey, Moist, Rich, Flavorful
Wild Striped Bass is an American Sustainability Success Story. Once so abundant that they were caught just to fertilize fields, the Fish were harvested at an alarming rate as the American population rose. Today, Fishing regulation and restriction have brought the biomass back to its former glory.
Mild, Moist, Flakey, Paper White
White Sea bass are very large members of the Pacific Croaker/Drum Family. Applications in cooking would mirror Wild Striped Bass, Redfish, Corvina, and Toothfish. Large loose flakes lend to a silky texture and a very mild ocean flavor. This is not a "FISHY" fish, but it does have a mild complexity that separates it from species like Groupers and Snappers. Ceviche, Saute, Grill, Broil.
Light, Sweet, Flakey
The Flame Snapper inhabit the rocky deep off the coast of Australia. They are known to live up to 1300 feet below the surface. The cold depths of their range produce a clean and moist protein that rivals any Snapper in their sweet and rich profile. Typically a larger Snapper, the Flame Snapper produces a very versatile fillet. The thickness allows perfect portioning and a remarkable plate presentation. The Flame Snapper also provides a beautiful deep pink to red skin that crisps wonderfully. The skeleton offers a clean yet rich ingredient for stocks, consommes, and fumets.
