Overview

Coral trouts are among the most sought-after reef fishes for their impressive appearance and fine eating qualities. Their delicate flavour and fine, white flakes appeal to most. Bake, steam, poach or grill, but avoid handling them too much as their delicate flakes can be easily damaged. Enrich with an abundance of citrus, light butter sauces, parsley and chives.Highlight these species’ attractively coloured skin by cooking and presenting them whole (gilled and gutted).Fillets of coral trout and trout (rainbow or brown trout) can be plaited together to present an interesting contrast in colour and flavour.The cheek flesh from coral trouts is very highly regarded and should not be wasted.
