Tender, Light, Moist
Tai has a host of species attached with the moniker. This is the Pagrus auratus from New Zealand. It is a Porgy/Sea Bream that has a beautiful pink hued skin that is wonderfully edible. The flesh is a soft light pink that cooks to paper white, and is mild, sweet, and "fluffy". Applications are limitless! Menu as Tamure, Tai, Madai, Kodai, Red Sea Bream, or Porgy and your guests will revel in its versatility. Sashimi, Saute, Broil.
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.
Light, Clean, Sweet, Moist
Kalekale is one of those great surprises that show up at Auction from time to time. When available it can represent one of the best Snapper characteristics in the culinary world. Extremely light and moist. It is almost indistinguishable from Opakapaka exept for the firmness and eye colorations.
