They are extremely popular throughout the Indo \u0013West Pacific region. Emperor flesh is moist, firm and flavoursome and easily removed from the frame after baking.<\/p>\n Cooked whole by baking (try stuffing with herbs and nuts), steaming, poaching or deep frying, emperors are a stunning finfish to display. Poached emperor can be served chilled. They are also ideal in fillet form for frying, grilling, barbecuing or steaming.<\/p>\n Teriyaki complements these species superbly, and emperors can be mari-nated in other similar mild flavours.<\/p>\n If deep frying or grilling larger varieties whole, it is advisable to score them first.<\/p>\n The skeleton and head have substantial flavour for use in stocks and as a base for sauces, soups and bouillabaisse.<\/p>\n Flavour <\/strong>Mild, Sweet flavour<\/em><\/p>\n Oiliness <\/strong>Low<\/em><\/p>\n Moisture <\/strong>Moist<\/em><\/p>\n Texture <\/strong>Firm<\/em> Large flakes<\/p>\n Flesh Colour <\/strong>White<\/em><\/p>\n Thickness <\/strong>Medium fillets<\/em><\/p>\n Bones <\/strong>Pin bones, which are generally large and easily removed<\/em><\/p>\n Suggested Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n Emperors are sweet and mild-flavoured fishes, which means that any accompanying wine should be fairly delicate, with a hint of fruit, such as sauvignon blanc blends or cool climate rieslings.<\/p>\n To enhance the spices in the teriyaki flavourings, more floral rieslings from South Australia are ideal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spangled Emperor \u00a0 When Caught year round Important Features Wild\/Farmed Wild Habitat Saltwater, Caught near reefs and over rocky bottom Recovery Rate Fillets: 40% from whole emperor, Recovery rate varies considerably with season Remarks Emperors have a good shelf life.
