Peppered Kingfish with Fennel & Grapefruit Salad

Recipe by Peter Evans from FISH

Pin It

Kingfish is such a wonderful versatile fish. The farmed variety out of South Australia that goes under the name of "Hiramasa Kingfish" is a truly superior fish because it has a higher fat content. That being said, kingfish must be eaten fresh and must be bled quickly after being caught to maximise flavour. Kingfish is best served either raw or rare in my opinion, and this dish is a delight to eat in the warmer months.

Serves 1

Greetings from a Pommie B*****d!

Love the idea but we can't get Kingfish over here (not enough fur coats to go around). I made this with very fresh Mackerel and it's become an instant favourite. Thanks!
