Ooh that’s niiice fillet off a wild NZ Golden Alfonsino! 🔪👌🏼

Fished commercially in New Zealand for years, this catch is highly prized for its suburb eating qualities and is particularly revered in Japan as a sushi fish. 🍣

It is closely related to red snapper, offerring a clean white flesh with a mild, slightly sweet taste and moderate to high oil content. Its soft, yielding texture when raw makes it excellent for sashimi and nigiri. It firms up when cooked and - great for pan frying and whole fish presentations.

We receive sporadic inbounds of Golden Alfonsino year-round direct from . Dayboat line caught, harvested by Ike jime. Typically 1-5lb fish, graded at 1-2, 2-3, and 3-5. Ask your Lee USA rep for more info!

The role of a master fish grader is coveted and highly regarded. Achieved only through years of experience, it requires a keen eye for detail and the ability to consistently deliver on a promise of high quality that aligns with customer expectations. Our partnership with Leigh ensures we receive only the best of the day’s catch, and that means our customers also get the best. Win-win 🙌
