Super Sweet, Light, Flakey
Triggerfish feed very heavily on Blue Crab, Swimmer Crab, Urchin, Shrimp and Mollusks. This translates to a beautiful Sweeetness and muscle striation. The Striation allows for the flesh to flake into texturally phenomenal strands with a subtle tooth. Brilliant for saute with citrus or cream. Saute, Broil, Grill, Pan Roast.
Light, Flakey, Moist, Clean
Speckled Sea Trout have a bone structure of Snapper and Weakfish. They have the flavor profile of California White Bass and Corvina (All Weakfish). The simplicity of this species is a blank canvas for beautiful Spring and Summer fare. The light, paper white flesh has a brilliant flake with ample moisture content. Prepare as you would your favorite Snapper as the Sea Trout grows at the same sizing of B-Liner and Yellowtail Snappers with many of the same texture profiles.
