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.
Mild, Sweet, Creamy
Live catch methods produce a very firm flesh when fresh and a beautiful cooked product. "Fat" levels of the Black Cod ensure delicate, moist, and mild dishes. The firmness is that of Halibut with a gorgeous flake. The Black Cod lends itself to multitude of cooking applications and is a great "sponge" for marinades and brines. Poach, Steam, Saute, Pan Roast.
Tender, Sweet
Stone Claws are traditionally served chilled, cracked and exposed. The Meat of the Stone Claw is very tender and one of the sweetest in the sea. They also boast a beautiful "Ocean" flavor that compliments their sweetness.
