Silky, Rich, Moist, Robust
Prized as a game fish, the King Mackerel also boasts a luxurious texture and a robust ocean flavor. The Center loin is the real delicacy and fetches the adornment of "real" fish eaters. The culinary applications are vast and call for high heat or slow smoke. Also called "Smokers" because of the high oil content that keeps the Kingfish moist during a dry smoke environment. Grill, Broil, Smoke, Pan Roast.
Sweet, Succulent, Lobster-like
Carabineros are "Parte superior del mundo". Top of the world!!! Carabineros reign supreme in Mediterranean Fine Dining. Red Shrimp boast a natural Lobster-Like Sweetness and a very Robust "Sea" Flavor. Revered for the almost absurd size the Carabinero is by far the largest Red Shrimp on the market. Culinary applications demand skill and respect of the product. Treat as a delicate small Lobster and it is a protein without reproach. Poach, Grill, Saute, Steam, Crudo.
Mild, Moist, Flakey, Paper White
White Sea bass are very large members of the Pacific Croaker/Drum Family. Applications in cooking would mirror Wild Striped Bass, Redfish, Corvina, and Toothfish. Large loose flakes lend to a silky texture and a very mild ocean flavor. This is not a "FISHY" fish, but it does have a mild complexity that separates it from species like Groupers and Snappers. Ceviche, Saute, Grill, Broil.
