Cooking Preference:

This fish is ideal for delicate recipes that highlight its subtle flavor. Skinless fillets fry beautifully in a little olive oil, especially when lightly dusted with rice flour to help them stay intact. It's best to use minimal seasoning to ensure the fish's excellent taste shines through. While fillets can hold together for light poaching or frying, boiling in soup may cause them to break apart into crumbs.

Cutting Preference:

They are preferred to be cut as whole (gutted), headless (gutted), and boneless fillets. While the skin has no strong or off-putting flavor, it shrinks significantly during cooking, so it is typically removed. The skin is thin yet sturdy, allowing for easy removal using the long knife and cutting board method. Additionally, the skin can be added to the pot when making stock for added flavor.
