Parrotfish Whole (800g-1kg) 10kg Carton/Frozen

One look at the mouth of the Parrotfish gives you a clue as to it's name - instead of a traditional tooth arrangement, their teeth are rounded, packed tight, and cemented together with bone to resemble a beak. This allows them to grind down on the coral that forms a significant amount of their diet. 

The meat of the Parrotfish has a mild, sweet flavour and cooks with thick, firm, textured flakes. It takes on flavour well, and is popularly used in dishes with strong and spicy Asian flavours.

The mild flavouring and ease of cooking mean that it can be used in all sorts of recipes depending on your taste. As well as a versatile flavour, the pure white flesh of the Parrotfish is also firm enough to be used in a variety of cooking modes too.

Latin Name, Scarus Ghobban, Baby Parrot Fish is also known as Blue-Barred Parrotfish, Yellow Scale Parrotfish and Bluechin Parrotfish.  Baby Parrotfish is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the family Scaridae.
