PRODUCT INFORMATION

Moonfish (Opah) is one of the China favourite fish. It is found in every ocean but is particularly plentiful in the fishing zones off the central of Vietnam. Fresh Opah is available sporadically during in spring and summer months.

We supply a few quantities of Frozen whole round Moonfish into Asia communities in US, Canada, etc every year.

Moonfish is very unique-looking fish, not only because of its bright colour—steel-blue back and bright red belly, fins, mouth and tail - but also because it is almost perfectly round and flat. It has no teeth or scales.

Moonfish is a bony fish, its flesh is rich, meaty and to the aficionado, as savoury as salmon. Its firm, pink-to-orange flesh turns white when cooked. The deeper coloured flesh is used in making sushi and the lighter flesh is ideal for grilling.

Moonfish is considered a fatty fish. For the weight-conscious, steaming, poaching or cooking in parchment would be the methods of choice. Like all fish, the moonfish is a good source of high-quality protein and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
