π Arrow's Seafood of the Week
Blue Grenadier - Macruronus novaezelandiae
Blue Grenadier probably isn't the first fish that catches your eye. With its distinctive blue-grey skin, large eyes and long, slender body, it's a little quirky looking - but don't let appearances fool you.
Also known as Hoki, Blue Grenadier is a deep-water species found in the cool waters of southern Australia and New Zealand. It's one of the most important commercial fish in our region and is widely recognised as a well-managed, sustainable seafood choice.
Its flesh is beautifully white with a mild flavour and a soft, delicate flake. That delicate texture is why it's so often served in batter - the batter helps hold those lovely flakes together during cooking.
Last night, however, Eugene showed that Blue Grenadier doesn't need batter to shine. A light dusting of flour, gently shallow fried until just cooked, then served with a stir-fry of bok choy, spinach and red capsicum finished with a spoonful of sour cream.
Simple. Fresh. Absolutely delicious.
Blue Grenadier is a great reminder that some of the best seafood doesn't have to be expensive.
Pop in today and let us help you plan your next delicious seafood meal.
Fast. Fresh. Friendly. Fair.
