Red Grouper

Overview

One of the most prestigious fish in Asian culinary tradition, this premium reef fish is revered not only for its stunning crimson-red to orange-red skin but also for its exceptionally fine, firm and sweet white flesh. Often served at banquets, weddings and Lunar New Year celebrations, it symbolizes prosperity, good fortune and abundance.

Sustainably sourced from well-managed reef fisheries and premium aquaculture operations. Each fish is hand-selected for vibrant coloration, bright clear eyes and firm flesh that springs back when pressed - hallmarks of absolute freshness.

Key Features

• Striking red-orange skin that retains colour beautifully when cooked
• Pure white, firm, flaky flesh with a mildly sweet, clean flavour
• Semi-oil content provides natural moisture and richness
• Virtually free of small bones beyond the main skeletal structure
• High in protein, low in saturated fat, rich in vitamins and minerals
• Available in generous sizes (800g-1000g per fish)

Culinary Applications

Magnificent when prepared whole - steamed Cantonese-style with ginger, scallion and soy; braised in rich brown sauce with dried chilies and star anise; or baked with herbs and vegetables. Filleted portions are excellent pan-seared, grilled or poached in light broth. The red skin creates spectacular visual presentation in any dish.

Storage Instructions

Freeze at -18°C or below. For whole fish steaming, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
