Frozen Whole Grouper

Line-caught offshore and frozen at sea with liquid nitrogen within minutes of landing, this whole fish arrives with its flavour and texture close to the day it left the water. The skin carries a natural dark marbled pattern and the flesh cooks up bright white, firm and finely flaked, with very few small bones to work around.

Why You'll Love It

• Liquid nitrogen quick-freeze locks in ocean-fresh aroma and moisture
• Distinct marbled skin and clean white, flaky meat
• Minimal fine bones, so serving is quick and tidy
• Mild, sweet seafood character with almost no fishy edge
• Fully cleaned and gutted, straight from source with strict quality control

How to Cook

• Steam with ginger and spring onion for 8–12 minutes — the simplest way to taste the sweetness
• Braise in a light soy and garlic sauce for a richer, savoury finish
• Pan-fry thick steaks skin-side down until the skin crisps
• Simmer into a clear seafood broth with tofu and greens

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature, and pull the fish off the heat just as the flesh turns opaque — overcooking is what dries it out.

Storage

Keep frozen at −18 °C or colder. Do not refreeze once fully thawed; cook promptly after defrosting.
