We bring them in directly from hook and line day boats and are available next day to your restaurant. Red Porgy have a wealth of culinary possibilities.

From whole fish, to wagon wheels, to steak ready loins, this cylindrical body has a great yield. Cutting waste, cutting butcher time, cutting cost.

It holds up fearlessly against powerful “sets” and spices.
