A beautiful colour, Kish Redfish is a deep-water species found in deep basins and along the edge of the continental shelf off Canada’s Atlantic coast. It has a mild taste with a touch of sweetness and its flavour will hold up to a variety of sauces. It is high in protein and low in fat, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers. It is prized for its firmness, mild flavour, and adaptability to various cooking methods. This fish is a true Canadian seafood treasure.
