About this item
Slim, silver fish with a bright sheen along the flank and a dark-speckled back, gutted and cleaned so they go straight into the pan. The flesh is firm and oily, which is exactly what makes it crisp so well over high heat - a few minutes each side with salt, lemon and a sprig of rosemary is all they ask for. The small bones soften enough to eat.

- FreshnessChilled on the deck within minutes of landing and held at temperature all the way through the packhouse.
- PackingSealed with food-grade ice packs inside an insulated box, cushioned so nothing shifts in transit.
