Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

01

A whole fish that grills without falling apart

The body shape and tender white meat hold up to roasting, baking and grilling, which is where flatter fish tend to break.

02

Cross-cuisine acceptance

It reads as a familiar fish on both Asian and Mediterranean menus, so one item covers two very different buyer bases.

03

Simple format, simple handling

Whole round and HG only — no fillet line to manage, which keeps cost and handling straightforward for smaller programmes.

Handling and Cooking
