Range & Habitat
Clean, Complex Earthiness
The Red Grouper is a very versatile species. It is an opportunistic eater and gains a brilliant flavor. Sweet like crab and earthy like mollusks.
Ceviche, Steam, Saute, Pan Roast.
Sweet, Light, Paper White
Gigged Fluke has a phenomenal quality. The Gig instantly kills these fish and leaves the flesh very tender. The quick turn around on a Gig trip ensures the freshest available. Fluke generally flake perfectly with a great moisture content. Left Eyes are genetically predisposed to hold fattier flesh as they are closely related to Halibuts.
Moist, Mild, Creamy
A reasonable resemblance to the fillet shape of Sea Bream and Snapper, however, the Blackgill surpasses those species in "Fat". The Blackgill 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 Blackgill is clean and opaque raw and is a formidable Sashimi and Sushi choice. With all of the creaminess of Tai and Madai, the Blackgill holds up to the most educated palates. Sashimi, Ceviche, Saute, Broil.
