Farmed in saltwater along the straits. One of the most popular local choices of fish as the meat is mild and texture is soft. Fresh supply available every day.
Specify how you want it prepared and we can do it for you; e.g. cut into slices, fillet, etc.
Customers like to have it cut into three, then they fry it/steam it.
Great value for money, tail is 'less valuable' than fillets simply because demand is not as high compared to fillets that are softer and boneless, but for experienced chefs, tails are very worth the purchase!
