Fresh Wild-Caught Hawaiian Opah Fillets – 5 lb
Opah — also known as Moonfish — is one of the ocean's most prized and least-known delicacies. Wild-caught from the deep Pacific waters surrounding Hawaii, Opah is celebrated by chefs for its rich, buttery flavor, firm yet tender texture, and stunning multi-colored flesh. Unlike most deep-sea fish, Opah is a warm-blooded species, which contributes to its uniquely rich, well-marbled meat. Shipped fresh and never frozen — this is Opah at its absolute best.
What Does Opah Taste Like?
- Flavor: Rich, mild, and buttery — often compared to a cross between tuna and swordfish
- Texture: Firm yet tender, with a fine grain and excellent moisture retention
- Color: Vibrant pink-to-orange flesh that holds its color beautifully when cooked
- Versatility: Performs well across a wide range of cooking methods
Serving Suggestions
- Pan-Seared – with brown butter, capers, and lemon — the classic preparation
- Grilled – brushed with olive oil and herbs over high heat for a light char
- Sashimi – the belly section is prized raw for its rich, fatty flavor
- Baked – with a miso-ginger glaze for a Hawaiian-inspired preparation
- Ceviche – the firm texture holds up beautifully in citrus-cured preparations
Storage & Handling
- Refrigerate immediately upon arrival at 32–38°F
- Best consumed within 2–3 days of delivery
- Pat dry before cooking for best sear and texture
- Do not freeze — fresh Opah is best enjoyed as delivered
