Best Cooking Methods
Whole Roasted: Score the skin, stuff the cavity with lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs, then roast at 400°F for 20–25 minutes. The skin crisps beautifully and the flesh stays moist.
Grilled: Brush with olive oil, season generously, and grill over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side. The firm flesh holds together well on the grill.
Baked: Place in a baking dish with white wine, capers, and cherry tomatoes. Bake at 375°F for 18–22 minutes for a Mediterranean-style preparation.
Pan-Fried (Fillets): If filleted, pan-sear skin-side down in a hot skillet with butter and thyme for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Steamed: Steam whole with ginger, scallions, and soy sauce for a clean, Asian-inspired preparation.
Flavor Pairings
Citrus: Lemon, lime, and orange complement the mild sweetness of the fish.
Herbs: Cilantro, parsley, thyme, and tarragon all pair beautifully.
Sauces: Light butter sauces, mango salsa, or chimichurri work especially well.
Wine: Pair with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, Albarino, or unoaked Chardonnay.
How Much to Order
