Acadian Redfish is a member of the same Genus as all Rockfish. Acadian Redfish inhabit the deep fathoms of the Gulf of Maine. The frigid temperatures of the habitat induce "fat" storage for body temperature regulation. Acadian redfish boasts the moisture content of Haddock and Hake with a precise portion control ability. The culinary applications are limitless, but prefer moderate heat and short cook times. The Acadian Redfish is very mild and is open to countless flavoring techniques. House blended Blackening Spices and Fresh Garden Herbs find a perfect canvas in Rockfish. Roast, Saute, Poach, Sous Vide.

Fish caught during the winter months seem to have a higher fat content than those caught in the summer, and Opakapaka yields the best sashimi during the winter season. The smaller-sized fish harvested off the main Hawaiian Islands are directed toward the ethnic restaurant and household retail markets in Hawaii, where opakapaka is often prepared by steaming or baking fish with the head on. In these markets, opakapaka is also used to make sashimi and fish head soup.
