A reasonable resemblance to the fillet shape of Sea Bream and Snapper, however, the Blackgill surpasses those species in "Fat". The Blackgill is a deep water species that packs on "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to an incredible silkiness and succulence. The Paper White Cooked flesh is mild and slightly firm with incredible flake. The Blackgill is clean and opaque raw and is a formidable Sashimi and Sushi choice. With all of the creaminess of Tai and Madai, the Blackgill holds up to the most educated palates. Sashimi, Ceviche, Saute, Broil.
