Range & Habitat
Sweet, Light, Creamy
They are temperate, Rock Cod-like fish, that can be distinguished from their distant relatives by their plain-colored body pattern. They are also related to the Hapuku. Gropers are found right around New Zealand, including the Chatham Rise but excluding the Campbell Plateau. They are most common over or near rocky areas down to 250 meters. The main fishing grounds for Gropers are the deep canyons off the East Coast of the North Island, Cook Strait, Kokura and the west Coast of the South Island.
Creamy, Light Sea Flavor
The "Roe" is the edible part of the Urchin, which is actually the reproductive structure of the animal. It has a light yellow color and a brilliant light "Sea" Flavor. The Uni can be eaten Raw, or lightly cooked for flavoring of other seafood dishes, sauces, custards, and even ice cream. A culinary favorite of Sushi and Asiatic Cuisine. Raw, Sushi, Creamed for Sauces.
Rich, Succulent, Buttery, Mild
If you are looking for a rich and buttery substitute for your Salmon program, Skye Trout is a phenominal resource. With sustainability at the forefront of their operation, you can rest assured that the quality is that of wild species, but with a more direct logistic avenue. Ocean Trout behave just like fatty Salmon on the plate and in the pan. However the subtle mild flavor is a blank canvas for culinary creation.
