HOW IT COMES: To ensure travel from dock to doorstep we keep the skin on to preserve texture and integrity and because freshness is everything, we leave the bloodline visible—a natural marker of quality that speaks for itself. Your fish will arrive in a protective bag in one or two loins depending on amount ordered—though we recommend 2lbs for a quality cut. Please note that all weights are approximate; filleting is a craft, not a formula, so your portion may come in slightly above or below the target. If it’s under, just reach out—we’re happy to make it right.

STORING: If you choose to store your fish in the refrigerator we suggest consuming it within 3 days of delivery. If you do not plan on eating the fish within 3 days we suggest freezing it immediately after delivery to ensure freshness. Before freezing we suggest removing the fish from the bag and patting dry Then place it in a vacuum sealed bag or double saran wrapped and place in ziploc before freezing. To defrost run cool (not hot) water over the bag for 5-10 minutes or Defrosting in the refrigerator.
