Wild-Caught Hoki Fish Fillets from New Zealand (450g)
Wild-caught skin-on Hoki fish fillets from New Zealand. Hoki, also known as Blue Hake or Blue Grenadier has firm succulent flesh with a delicate flavor and low oil content. The fillets are white and flake easily when cooked. Hoki is ideal for most cooking methods including baked, fried, grilled, steamed, curried, and sauteed. Each pack weighs 450g (1lb) and contains around 2 individual fillets, in which the cut and shape may vary.
This scientific name for the Hoki fish is the "Macruronus novaezelandiae", and is not to be confused with our Hake fish fillets (Merluccius australis). Click here to check out the Hake fish fillets.
All fish are caught in New Zealand waters by the Talley's fishery which employs New Zealand fishermen. All catches are monitored and managed by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries using government-regulated quotas to meet sustainability requirements. The fish is caught, processed, frozen, and packed in New Zealand only. We directly import the frozen fish to Japan from New Zealand and no further processing or repackaging is done locally. This way we can guarantee 100% traceability. These fillets hold the "Certified Sustainable Seafood" MSC certification - which is a way of showing that a fishery meets international best practice for sustainable fishing.
