Anchovies are a family (Engraulidae) of small, common salt-water forage fish. Anchovies are native to the Mediterranean and thus very popular in the local cuisine. When preserved by being gutted and salted in brine, matured, and then packed in oil or salt, they acquire a characteristic strong flavor. The miniscule scales are virtually non-existent and the skin is perfectly edible.
The Bedford Bream are the most abundant of these "Snappers", so for that reason they are much more menu versatile than flashier species. They have a beautiful white translucent flesh which cooks up very nicely, with a firm flake and texture in the mouth. The excellent quality, sweet flavor, and value, all combine to make our clients sit up and take notice!
Light, Clean, Flakey, Lean
Pride of the Chattam Islands, the Blue Cod is exclusive to New Zealand. The Blue Cod can live up to 17 years and dines in the shallow shores of the Northern Islands. The Blue Cod feeds on abundances of shellfish and in turn has a sweet crab-like flavor with a lean yet succulent texture.
