The Wreckfish is a bottom dwelling large growing species that is very similar to Grouper. The Wreckfish can be found from 150'-2000'. The name "Wreckfish" comes from inhabiting shipwrecks and "Stone Bass" from the rocky ledges. The Wreckfish packs on the moisture for body temperature regulation in cold waters. The species can grow very large all the while maintaining the silkiness and sweetness of Grouper. Prepare larger cuts with moderate heat and the smaller fillet portions more quickly. Ceviche, Saute, Broil, Poach.
Chefs love our Huon Trout because it is an oiler fish and marbles well. A very nice alternative to salmon and the unique point of difference for that consumer that is chasing a higher level experience. Why 'not all trout is Huon' Ocean Trout: Low Stress: We have some of the lowest stocking densities in the world - with less than 1% ratio of fish to water in the pens. Well Nourished: Our centralised feeding operations/technology (we feed all our pens across our operations from here in the office) allows us to ensure our fish are fed when they are hungry, and feeding it automatically stops when they have had enough (through our own IT developed pellet recognition software - results in minimal environmental impact of fish feed on the sea floor) Raised with Sustainable Practices: Peter and Frances have always taken the view that we've been here for 33 years and if we do not look after the environment - we will not be here for another 33 years. Everything we've done is to ensure the sustainability of our industry. Beautiful marbling of the Huon Ocean Trout creates a rich but smooth flavor and suitable for sashimi or cooked dishes.
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.
