Range & Habitat
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.
Saute, Whole, Roast, Grill
Silky, Firm, Flakey, Complex
White Trevally has a very rich texture and is a very flavorful species. It has the oil content of the fattiest of Yellowtail and a very clean, pronounced "Ocean" flavor. This fish works in a variety of applications and is hearty enough to fit bold "set" flavors.
Mild, Sweet, Flakey
One of the stars of Alaska is the brilliant Coho, the Silver Salmon. The mildly flavored Coho has a brightly colored flesh that is leaner in texture than that of King Salmon. While market weights range between 6 to 8 lbs, the fish of the Cordova Direct program with Capt. Tim consistently offers fish above 10 lbs. Larger Cohos tend to be a wider fillet and are readily apt to accept any cooking methods warranted by the chef. The slightly lowered fat content of Coho lends itself to a silky mouthfeel that doesn’t over encapsulate other ingredients. It is a perfect species for house-smoked applications and house-cured representation. It finds a home on the grill, in the broiler, simply sauteed, or even sous vide. Its vibrant coloration pops in crudo, tartare, sushi, and sashimi. Coho has a reputation as one of the best flavors in the Salmon kingdom.
