Tripletail are a species to themselves. Only the Pacific and Atlantic species exist. The "Buoy Bass" name comes from their enjoyment of hanging around in the shade. Feeding from the bottoms of buoys, kelp beds, even pallets fallen from shipping vessels. They enjoy the crustaceans that inhabit these oceanic oases. With such a broad diet, the Tripletail aquire a complex, savory flavor, while remaining paper white, flakey and moist. Treat the flesh as you would treat the best cut of Grouper and you, your team, and your guests will appreciate the subtle complexity of this undersung species.

One fisherman has stated that, "It could be dragged behind the truck in the mud, and still taste wonderful".

Succulent, Mild, Clean, Moist
A reasonable resemblance to the fillet shape of Sea Bream and Snapper, however, the Rockfish surpasses those species in "Fat". The Rockfish is a deep water species that packs on "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to an incredible silkiness and succulence. The Paper White Cooked flesh is mild and slightly firm with incredible flake. The Rockfish is clean and opaque raw and is a formidable Sashimi and Sushi choice. With all of the creaminess of Tai and Madai, the Rockfish holds up to the most educated palates. Sashimi, Ceviche, Saute, Broil.
