What Goes Wrong Without It
01
A premium species that survives freezing
Mandarin Fish is served as a centrepiece dish. IQF freezing keeps the delicate flesh intact so the plated result still looks like a premium item.
02
Pre-marinating optional on slices
Pre-sliced boneless fillet can be supplied with marination, which removes the prep step for hot pot chains.
03
Controlled aquaculture, not wild collection
Supply comes from controlled freshwater ponds, so volume and grading do not swing with wild availability.
Why Buyers Keep Reordering
- Fine, delicate flesh valued in steaming and braising service.
- Multiple dressed formats — whole round, GGS and HGG — from one supplier.
- Sectioned ready portions for restaurant and catering preparation.
- Boneless pre-sliced fillet for hot pot, with optional pre-marination.
Handling and Cooking
- Store at -18 °C or below.
- Thaw whole fish slowly under refrigeration to protect the delicate flesh.
- Steam rather than boil to keep the texture.
- Pre-sliced portions go into hot pot broth directly.
