Sea Bream (NZ Snapper)

DESCRIPTION:

This New Zealand Sea Bream is also known as ‘New Zealand Snapper’ or ‘Tai Snapper’ which is served in high-end sushi restaurants.
Sustainably certified, it is caught on long lines and is killed by the Japanese “Iki-Jime” method. As soon as the fish is brought on board a spike is inserted into the brain ensuring there is very little stress on the fish.
The pinkish-white meat has a firm, medium texture and delicate, mild flavor that holds up well to all cooking methods. This fish can be enjoyed raw in sushi or sashimi, and is easy to work with for grilling, baking, frying, poaching and smoking.
Note: New Zealand Snapper is not the same breed as the snapper common to the U.S. Is very similar to Madai which is found around Japan.
