Elephant Fillets Fresh

AVAILABILITY
Year-round, but more often in warmer months.

EATING
Elephant is from the Shark family and is sometimes called Silver Trumpeter. Elephant fillets are thick and meaty, and hold up very well in most cooking applications. It's excellent in curries, and makes great fish and chips, and tasty fish cakes. Elephant fish shelf life isn't as long as some of our other fish, and we recommend using it the same day you receive it. A standard serving of protein for a hungry adult at dinner time is 150g-200g, if you’re wondering how much to order.

STORING
Fresh Elephant should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will keep for 1-2 days. If you receive fish from us vacuum-packed, it’s perfectly fine to be popped into the fridge in the sealed bag, but a better option would be to unpack it into an airtight container. Drain excess liquid from the container daily to keep the fish very fresh. If you would like to freeze your fish, it keeps well in our vacuum-packaging for 3 months maximum. If you want to freeze it for longer than 3 months, it’s a good idea to re-pack it before doing so.

HARVEST AREA
