They can be prepared in a wide range of ways including grilling, poaching, deep frying, shallow frying, baking and steaming.<\/p>\n Simple pan-frying allows for a range of different flavours and textures to be utilised. Seaperches are often large, but the smaller fish are excellent baked whole (gilled and gutted).<\/p>\n Lay fillets on a bed of leeks and fennel with a small amount of fish stock. Cover and bake until just cooked. Keep the fish warm while the leeks, fennel and stock are pur\u00c8ed. Heat this gently and blend in cr\u00cbme fra\u00d3che. Season to taste and pour over or under seaperch fillets and add a few roasted cashews.<\/p>\n Flavour <\/strong>Mild<\/em><\/p>\n Oiliness <\/strong>Low<\/em><\/p>\n Moisture <\/strong>Moist<\/em><\/p>\n Texture <\/strong>Firm, Flaky<\/em><\/p>\n Flesh Colour <\/strong>White to dark pink<\/em><\/p>\n Thickness <\/strong>Medium fillets, but larger fish are often cut into thick steaks<\/em><\/p>\n Bones <\/strong>Some pin bones, but these are large and easily removed<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>Price <\/strong>Seaperches are medium-priced finfish<\/em><\/p>\n Suggested Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n A range of wines can be served with seaperch, including chenin blanc, colombard and semillon \u0013sauvignon blanc blends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stripey Seaperch \u00a0 When Caught Year round Important Features Wild\/Farmed Wild, Some species, such as golden seaperch (Lutjanus johnii), show potential for aquaculture.
