Redfish

Also known as: Ocean Perch

Navigating the cool waters off Canada's Atlantic coast, particularly in regions like Newfoundland and Labrador, is where you’ll find the vibrant redfish. Sometimes called "ocean perch" or "rosefish," this species is easily identifiable by its striking red to orange-red hue.

The flavour profile of redfish is mild and slightly sweet. It has a medium-firm texture that appeals to both seafood novices and fans alike. Its subtle taste makes it versatile for various culinary explorations, but it's delicious even in its simplest forms.
