Moist, Halibut-like
Escolar has a very white flesh and is sometimes consumed raw as sushi or sashimi. Filleted and cut into thick steaks, escolar can be cooked in numerous ways: pan-fried, braised or grilled. The flavor of its moist white flesh is a bit like that of halibut. It lends itself well to both traditional and exotic recipes. Grilling will tend to reduce the heavy fat content whereas battering will not.
Clean, Sweet, Super Moist
Hapu upu u is one of the richest species in the Pacific. With it's incredible moisture and unsurpassed sweetness, it is a true luxury to serve and enjoy.
Creamy, Earthy, Succulent
Smelts are very seasonal and a phenomenal Whole Presentation. When properly prepared, Smelts are a true delicacy and can be eaten bones and all. These are a fish lovers' fish. Great flavor with complex ocean and earthy tones. An abundance of oils give the smelt a "melt in your mouth" texture. Treat Smelts in culinary applications similar to large Anchovy and Sardine.
