I can't tell you the name of it, because this local treasure is seriously limited as a resource. I do not want more pressure put on the species, it already costs over $100 per fish here.
I can only get it because I often give my seafood friends at the market my BBQ bacon and so on.
It is so brilliant tasting, it is hard to cook and get the flavors shining, it is a subtle taste and you can mask it easily.
So, I usually steam it, and sometimes dust and pan fry.
Even the skeleton and wings are spectacular eating so nothing is wasted!

The filtes I steamed it, along with bok choy and snow peas.


I made a Chinese style delicate sauce with the fresh juice from a lemon, a tiny amount of ginger and shallots, some Chinese wine.

You certainly made it look tasty. How big is this fish that costs $100?
 
I know, I know!

BTW, Aussie red snapper and American red snapper are different
 
Whisper the name in my ear. I promise not to try to buy any, I just can't stand not knowing.

:laugh:
Can't be mowong can it?
No mate, and only on the west coast is it found. There are actually two species like this here, but it has been twenty years since I have had a chance to buy the other.

Yep. This fish has a similar but different fish in the waters of Shizuoka, and they are plentiful. I used to order that any chance I got over there!

At 50 bucks a pound, I doubt there will be much pressure. :shocked:
It would be hard to be more wrong!:wink:
