PRODUCT INFORMATION

Properly handled Pacific barracuda poses no health threat. This fish must be bled immediately upon harvesting, or the meat will turn dark and spoil even when frozen. Rapid icing is also important to maintain quality.

Baracuda has medium calorie density, rich in vitamins and minerals (22.6%/cal) - a good source of proteins and Vitamin B12, Selenium, Vitamin B6, Phosphorus and Potassium.

The flesh of the barracuda is creamy tan when raw and cooks up to off-white. Pacific barracuda meat is firm, with a large flake and moderate fat content. It has a full, meaty flavor.

The firm-fleshed barracuda fillets and steaks hold together well during grilling or broiling, the favorite preparation methods for this fish. Steaks can be pan-fried as well. The flavor stands up to marinades and flavorful sauces. Since barracuda spoils quickly if not properly handled, keep it well chilled until ready to cook.

Barracuda spoils quickly so keep it well chilled right up to the time of cooking and use within 2 days of purchase. It works well with marinades, sauces need to be potent in order to stand-up to this full flavored fish.
