Fresh Catch Thursday,

‍

FRESH OPAH LOIN (Fresh Opah, also called Moonfish, has translucent pinkish flesh and beautiful multi-colored skin. The tender top loin of Opah is a light salmon-orange or pink-rose color and is often used for sashimi. The flavor of the top loin is sweet & lean with a texture somewhat like tuna.

The side and lower flesh of Opah is the same light salmon-orange color at the top but fades to a paler color at the bottom and is too fibrous to be used for sashimi but still becomes very tender after cooking. With a robust flavor similar to tuna or swordfish, the lower loin is higher in natural oil than the top loin and has a fat content which can be higher than Salmon.

‍

FRESH HALIBUT (Halibut has a mild and gentle flavor that is similar to the sweet taste of clam or crab.

When compared to other fish, it resembles mild white flesh such as Tilapia. Besides, the meat of this large flatfish is firmer and thicker than cod.

Halibut has such a mild and gentle flavor, so it pairs greatly with stronger seasonings, such as basil, lemon juice, and pesto.

‍

FRESH BLUEFIN TUNA (So, what does bluefin tuna taste like? The flavor profile of bluefin tuna is complex and nuanced, with a rich, meaty flavor that is both savory and slightly sweet. The flavor is often described as:

• Rich and buttery: Bluefin tuna has a rich, buttery flavor that is similar to that of foie gras or caviar.
• Meaty and savory: The flavor of bluefin tuna is often described as meaty and savory, with a depth of flavor that is similar to that of a high-quality steak.
• Slightly sweet: Bluefin tuna has a slightly sweet flavor that is balanced by its rich, savory flavor.

SCOTTISH SALMON (When we talk about Scottish salmon, we’re almost always referring to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) that has been responsibly farmed in the sea lochs and coastal waters of Scotland. It’s a premium product with a global reputation for excellence,)
