Gurnard Fillets Fresh

AVAILABILITY
Year-round.

EATING
Gurnard is a medium-firm fleshed fish that holds together well in most cooking applications. Very fresh gurnard makes great ceviche or sashimi and it's our favourite fish for tacos. Bring fish up to room temperature (just like meat) before cooking for best results. Gurnard is one of our most versatile fish, and very similar to Australian Flathead.

STORING
Fresh fillets should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will keep for 2-3 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 three months, it’s a good idea to re-pack it before doing so.
