Orange Roughy has a mild, delicate flavor and moist, large-flaked meat that holds together well after cooking. Raw orange roughy flesh is pearly white and cooks up to an opaque white. The skin side of the fillets often sports a faint, orange-brown band of color. With roughy, the darker the meat, the lower the quality.

The meat tolerates most cooking methods, except deep frying and grilling, and works well with almost any seasoning or sauce. Its moderate oil content helps the meat retain moisture during cooking.

Our frozen orange roughy fillets are an excellent source of lean protein, essential vitamins, and minerals. Look no further than our roughy fillets if you’ve been searching for a nutritious choice to satisfy your coastal cravings.

KEY FEATURES

  • Each wild caught orange roughy fillet is hand-cut, individually packaged, vacuum sealed and flash frozen for portion control and to reduce food waste.
  • Orange roughy has firm flesh and a mild flavor and is sometimes referred to as the 'lobster of the sea' due to its slightly sweet flavor. The fish is alive until it is processed and then processed immediately in New Zealand. Flash freezing uses cold temperatures to maintain freshness, preserve nutrients and protect the product from external impurities.
  • To thaw, put the individually packaged fillet in cold water for 10-20 minutes or remove the fillet from the package and put on a towel on a plate or in a sealable container and place in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

PREPARATION

Baking: Place in a greased baking dish and place on a baking sheet. Brush the fish with melted butter or oil, season with salt and pepper, cover with a sauce, or wrap in oiled foil. Bake in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven, about ten minutes per inch (about 2.5cm) of thickness.

Grilling: Place fillets directly on a greased grill, 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) above prepared coals or fire. Baste with butter, oil, or marinade, and close the hood of the grill. Cook until opaque and moist on the inside, six to eight minutes.

Broiling: Place seasoned and/or marinated orange roughy on a well-greased broiler pan. Broil under a preheated broiler 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.5cm) from the heat source. Cook until opaque and moist on the inside, six to ten minutes.

Pan frying: Coat with seasoned flour, crumbs, or cornmeal. Shake off any extra coating and fry in a small amount of hot butter or oil, turning once halfway through cooking time. Cook until opaque and moist on the inside, eight to ten minutes.
