Product Information:
Orange roughy has a mild, delicate flavor and moist, large-flaked meat that holds together well after cooking.

With roughy, the darker the meat, the lower the quality.

Cooking Tips:
The meat of the orange roughy is tolerant of most cooking methods, except deep frying and grilling, and works well with almost any seasoning or sauce. Orange roughy has a moderate oil content, which helps the meat retain moisture during cooking. Though some product is frozen twice (once aboard the boat and again after skinning and filleting), roughy maintains its quality remarkably well if frozen properly.
