Paper White, Sweet, Flakey, Mild
Golden Tilefish grow quite large, with market sizes ranging from 10-20 lbs. They produce a beautiful "Baseball" cut with a gorgeous yellow dotted edible skin. Golden Tilefish feed almost exclusively on Crab, Shrimp, Clams, and other shellfish. This translates to a very sweet and moist flesh that cooks to a paper white. The cooked flesh flakes to a large, almost crab like, piece.
Silky, Moist, Firm, Robust
A great susbstitute for more expensive "Hamachi and Kompachi". The Wild Yellowtail has a little less fat content than farmed fish, but all of the robust flavor. The Wild Yellowtail, at a lower cost, offer a much broader range of culinary applications. Seared Rare or cooked throughout, the Wild Yellowtail comes out perfect in the lowest to highest culinary experience and ability. Perfect fish for a young staff just learning the ropes. Turn them loose Chef.
