GASTRONOMIC QUALITY<\/h2>\n

Seabass has well-differentiated parts when it comes to its composition and usage in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0f7888″ header_4_font_size=”25px” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Noto Serif” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Loin<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s the fish upper part; of greater thickness and the firmest part, due to its leaner composition. Ideal for sashimi, sushi and other Japanese cuisine preparations. Also great for salted preparations, grilled, oven-roasted and steamed. It requires short-term cooking, so that the meat does not dry out.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0f7888″ header_4_font_size=”25px” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Noto Serif” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Belly<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s the fish belly lower part: the fattiest part of the fish, the tastiest and most delicious mainly due to this amount of fat. It has a softer texture and it\u2019s the perfect match for raw preparations and short preparations; the fat melts quickly with the heat.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0f7888″ header_4_font_size=”25px” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Noto Serif” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Tail<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s the part of the fish which moves the most, hence it spends all the fat reserves; this meat is then the leanest. It\u2019s great for cooking similarly to the loin. Requires short-term cooking.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0f7888″ header_4_font_size=”25px” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Noto Serif” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Cocochas (Fish chaps)<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s the jelly part located in the fish chaps; highly appreciated in Cod and Hake. In bigger size Seabass, it can also be removed and cooked in many different ways: with sauce, pil-pil, battered…<\/p>\n

FULL USE<\/h2>\n

In addition to the worthiest parts of Seabass, there are other less-known parts which are also extremely valuable.<\/p>\n

In Aquanaria, we sell whole round product and firmly believe that each part of it can be used to the fullest advantage. This leads to a higher and excellent economic and culinary yield, if you know how to fully use it!<\/p>\n

Those less-known parts are:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0f7888″ header_4_font_size=”25px” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Noto Serif” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Head<\/h4>\n

Contains a great content of collagen and an excellent flavor, which makes of it an exceptional part of salted or grilled preparations, if it has the proper sizing. The checks are an exquisite part as well as the lips, which have a seafood flavor like no other! When the head is too small, it can also be used with the bones for making a fumet (fish soup).<\/p>\n

Gonads<\/h4>\n

From November to March, our Seabass may contain roes, which are indeed delicious and an excellent raw ingredient for multiple recipes as well as enhancing the taste of other preparations.<\/p>\n

Skin<\/h4>\n

Crunchy skin (deep-fried or oven-dried) is a great option for providing texture to your recipes!<\/p>\n

Fat<\/h4>\n

In the Seabass insides, close to the ventral fin, you can find localized fat which may be used for salted preparations, grilled or even preserving the product. It\u2019s a \u201cgood fat\u201d, healthy and rich in essential fatty acids, which melts when cooked at low temperature and provides a soft and tasty flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Unlike other breeding methods, our Seabass grow in clean, cold and rough Atlantic waters, fighting against the ocean currents. This turns into a constant \u201cworkout\u201d which gives them the perfect consistency and texture; ideal for all kinds of cooking, even raw preparations such as sashimi.<\/p>\n
