Cuisine & Edibility

Cobia

Firm, moist white flesh with a mild, buttery flavor; moderate fat and large, clean flakes. Extremely versatile — excellent grilled, smoked, raw as sashimi, or used in ceviche.

Zander

Lean, firm white flesh with a delicate, mild flavor and nearly no fat; boneless fillets are easy to work with. The most prized freshwater eating fish in Central and Eastern Europe.

Species Overview

Cobia

The cobia is a powerful pelagic fish that often follows large rays, sharks, and turtles. Its flattened head and elongated body resemble a shark. Excellent table fare with firm, white flesh, it is increasingly farmed in aquaculture.

Zander

The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
