HOGFISH
$10.00
Hogfish is one of the hardest fish to catch, but if you can get it, you are in for a treat. The delicate, bright white flesh is fantastic, and it simply melts in your mouth. A hogfish fillet has a mild flavor that is an ideal combination of flavor and texture because they are sweeter than grouper and have a flakier texture than mahi mahi. Since hogfish primarily feed on crustaceans, the fillets take on a taste that is reminiscent of scallops or lobster. It is ideal as pan-seared, baked, or as a ceviche.
