Moist, Flakey, Clean
Like all Rockfish, the Bocaccio boast paper white flesh with bright bloodlines. The moisture is abundant, and for the guest who demands light, white, and flakey, this fish is the perfect fit. Substitute this for Grouper, Snapper, and with careful preparation, Black Cod.
Light, Clean, Sweet, Moist
Kalekale is one of those great surprises that show up at Auction from time to time. When available it can represent one of the best Snapper characteristics in the culinary world. Extremely light and moist. It is almost indistinguishable from Opakapaka exept for the firmness and eye colorations.
Sweet, Lobster-like
Sweet and a perfect mix of Lobster and Shrimp Flavors. The Meat of the Spot Prawn has a phenomenal "SNAP" and finishes very silky. The Spot Prawn inhabit deep water and pack on "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to a beautiful product that interacts with dry cooking methods to retain "fat" in the finished dish. Broil, Grill, Roast, Saute, Crudo, Sushi, Ceviche.
